Lady Anne Coventry's marriage to
Prince Victor Dhuleep Singh wrap inter
esting for many reasons. First o! all, it
wbh a genuine love match, tho pair being
quito absurdly devoted to each other
and huvicg had to display constancy and
patienco under various trying delayp;
then the bride is the daughter or an offic
cial of the royal household; also tho
rumor bad gone about that the display
of jewels would be raaguilicent, which
proved to bo the case. It was really a
charming wedding, but. I was much
amused at the naivo disappointment of
certain good people who did not know
tho prince by eight. They had evidently
expected a romantic-looking dusky hero
whereas he, though very Oriental in
type, CDuld cot be called handsome, and
his stoutness and (dare I whisper it?)
absence of neck ssomed to grieve these
worthies greatly. Now ho is a thor
oughly good fellow and amiable, which
is far better than being beautiful, so I
thought all this unreasonable. How- mjy Van do Weyer), Lady Victor a
