3' THE COURIER. 11 -i-tt.a IV t R V . f bondon Correspondence. The Prince of Wales autl bis family are quite satisfied as I hajqtcn to knoir that they need exDect nothing from Americans but frank friendship. A6 for his liking for Americans, he shows that every day of his life. Hut the vogue which the Marlborough) hare ob Mined at Marlborough House their own ancient home, by the way is due entirely to the Princess of Wales'i liking for the young Duchess. When she tiret met her she said to someone, "Why. she's perfectly sweet!" and whn the Princess makes up her mind about any one she sticks to her first opinion unless the person does something which fotces her to change it. She does not easily take fancies to people: when she does she is very constant, as all northerners are. For instance, when Patii fell out of court favor some j ears ago she never forgot the old friendship, and she has continued to correspond awl exchange gilts with the diva "under the rose." It was owing to her intercession that the Queen removed the ban and asked Adelina to sing again at the state con certs, but the prima donna, who has her pride, contrived to bo conveniently in disposed on each occasion. The latest smart wedding took plaea in the country and amazed the villagers of Rickmansworth. Herts, by the Hock of smart birds which it attracted. Moor Park, the seat of Lord Ebury, is close to this little town, and the great function was the marriage of bis eldest daughter, Maud, to Mr. Maurice Carr-Glyn. .The bride is the Duke of Westminister's grandceice, so with so much wealth on both sides of the house the affair was bound n be smart. Maurice Glyn is twenty-dvc, 6be is two years younger. There was a good deal of the shamrock element about the wedding the o'.ber day; why, I don't know, for there is no Irish blood in either family, but perhaps they believe in luck, or maybe a 6ub:lc compliment was intended to the bride ,gro3in's name Maurice. Anyhow, the bride's court train was of shamrock bro cade, most elaborately outlined with pearl and diamond embro'.dery, and the bridesmaids bad brooches of green en amel representing four-leaved shamrocks with pearl centers. They were in white, with mauve miiror velvet toques (the to children wearing Dutch bonnets in stead.) and they carried boquets of ex quisite mauve chrysanthemum?. There were sjven of these damsels. Th9 Duke of Westminister gave the bride a dia mond star worthy of the giver; she wore it on the wedding day, also the bride groom's diamond lover's knot and his father's diamond necklace. How very, very busines3-like our peerage is becoming. The Marquis o Normanby has turned his beautiful an cestral home. Mulgrave Castle.Jn York shire, into a bojs" school, and means to be his own head master. No doubt tne venture will prosper, especially if he doesn't mind receiving the, son6 of rich nobodies, who will, of course, crowd up on him.. He is a clergyman,, having thrown over politics and diplomacy in favor of the church when quite a young man. Mulgrave is a lovely place. The woods are 1,000 acres in extent, and the views from the gardens are so exquisite that it is recorded that Charles Dickens "danced with ecstasy" when he visited the spot. Another instance of high-class "can nicees" is the Marquis of Bute's wino" growing industrj. Jt is now twelve years since he first started cultivating the vine at Castell Loch; two years later he opened another vineyard at Swan bridge! now each yield a profit of several thousand a year, some of bis vintages etching X5 13s. per dozen. He deserves bis success, for he had, of course, to bring to bear much knowledge acd patience in the work, owing to difficulty with our climate in these islands; more over, he makes excellent ubo of his money. Patti has been laid up with a light at tict of eczema- fancy w bat a misfortune for a pretty woman! so Ella Russell took her place atone of her touring con certs and made u great hit. OH, Susannah!" at the Royalty, is a sort of paroJy upon "Charley's Aunt' and is only worth seeing for the sake of ono wonderful artist. The hero is an impecunious doctor who expects a rich aunt to visit him, and hears at the same time that a wicked male friend is going to masquerade and personate her. Of course you will gue-s that be mistakes the one for the other (peoplo are alwavs so clever in plas,) shows deep respect to the sham aunt and ducks the real one in his bth!.The thing which makes all this foolishness endurable is the performance of Louie Freear as a dingy little lodging house servant who cherishes a romantic adoration for the doctor. The unhappy little drudge supplements his meals out of her scanty wages, lavishes futile wor ship upon bis boots and takes as her life motto "Orl for im!" She is simply a dream; while you laugh you have a tear in the corner of your eye. Louie Freear, as ou remember, bscame fa mous last year at one bound by her sing ing of "Sister Mary Jane's Top Note." Now she has revnaled the possession of what almost amounis to genius. She is a lady, having gone on the stage for sheer love of art. It is passing strange that in a city the size of Lincoln, a city which boasts so many institutions of learning and so many culture clubs it is strange that in such a city there is bo little evidence, at times, of inna'eproprieiy and refinement. There has been a great display of vulgar haste and curiosity at almost every church wedding which has taken place in Lincoln forjeare. At the pro nouncing of the benediction there is a rush for the doors. Tho wedding party hurries out for fear of being caught in the crowd, and the intimate f.iends and relations are left tatakecaro of them selves. Ihe rising of the family is usually mistaken as a signal for dismissal. It must be confessed, however, that those causing the confusion are usually those least intimate with the contracting parties hence this rudeness, perhaps. All but those within the ribbons should wait until they have heard the bridal carriages roll away, then the church should be emptied in quiet and dignity, in order from front to back. It is by the practice of these little points in etiquette that the truest cul ture of any community is recognized. Mrs. Tupenny I gave up a great deal when I married you.
