12 THE COURIER LONDON LETTER. a relief to everybody that the m aerable Nevil business has been fin-' abed. Heavy as is the sentence of five years' penal servitu de, it is difficult to feel much pity for Lord William. However, society is divided into two camps. A good many women have been indulging in the lamentations over him . "He is so handsome," say they, and he took the sentence with so much fortitude. It was harrowing to see the look of anguish that came over his face wbon the judge reproached him for bringing "sorrow and disgrace upon p.n ancient and noble name." "Besidos," say his apologists, "he would never have been tempted to do wrong but for the straits to which he was reduced by his father's injustice." When Lord William became a Roman Catholic, some years before his marriage, his father, a bigoted Tory of the old school, "cut him off with a shilling" or without one and forbade him ever to eater his boyhood's home again. The old Marquis undoubtedly behaved most cruelly and unfairly, but it is absurd to blame him for his son's fault. The Catholic body is much ashamed of the whole matter. It is natural that many people should be glad to see Lord William punished, for young Spender Clay is popular, and so ib his sister, Lady Bingham, who will one day be Countess of Lucan. The person most to be pitied k poor Lady William. Hardly had she buried her mother before she was called upon to bear this new trial. She showed extreme courage, for she attended the court dressed in the deepest mourning, and looking so wan and white that few would have believed in so great a change in the brilliant Luisa de Murrietta heard the sentence pronounced, and went to Newgate to see her wretched husband when all was over. Happily she has no children. Being well acquainted with Hatfield, I can assure you that it was a real miracle that Lord Salisbury was not killed the 1X1 10 TK MR HURT And the most important factor in a well regulated kitchen is the range. It must be one that the drafts are easy and ac cessible to handle, so that the oven can be tempered to any degree necessary for baking. One of the moat particular elements of making pa'atable, healthy baked, tooi consists in keeping the oven at the proper heat. It must also be economical of fuel, in size and form it must be symmetrical; material and work manship the most perfect. It should have beautiful and artistic designs in Nickle Trimminga.

The iron gates of the park one of which blew against his victoria and literally cut the carriage in two are enormous and very heavy. Bad either the Premier or his son been struck death must have been instantaneous. Tou can imagine the consternation in the place. The villagers came in crowds to gaze upon the wrecked vehicle up to a late hour that night. Lord Salisbury can now say that he has been in every possible sort of carriage accident. It is a proverb that he always has a few mashes every year, the reason being that hn always has very young and met tlesome horses. This custom so inap propriate for a steady-going, conserva tive statesman is due, 1 suppose, to lack of time. He always has to tear off at the last minute, and invariably arrives late for trains or appointments. When he attended his nephew's wed ding in town on the morning after the accident he got a ringing cheer. The crowd seemed delighted to see him look ing so well and festive. Evelyn Cecil is his private secretary, and a great favor ite. The Hon. Alicia Amherst, the bride, is an authoress and an authority on gardening. It was a pretty wedding, but the company was very solid and political. These adjectives apply to all the social functions at this time of year. Big and stately crushes and heavy din ners are the rule; only the serious world is in town; the frivolous half of society is on the Riviera or in Egypt. Such but terflies as nave to remain console them selves with going to the skating balls at Niagara to meet the Prince, or getting up select wee dinners to him "on the quiet" A mm I know went to the sale of the Prince's horses at SandriBgham, an an nual event. He said that everything went for about three times its value, that there was an immense crowd, amid which the Prince walked about quite freely, there being apparently no police precautions; that everybody was enter tained at a grand luncheon with unlimit ed champagne; that Mr. Hooley and Blundel Maple were big buyers; that the Prince looked well, and the Princess, as UBual, got mistaken for one o her daugh ters. This is a mistake only possible to outsiders, and seems to have amused my friend. As a matter of fact, the daugh ters look so much older than the Princess that contusion is prevented if one knows them at all! All the three girls have always shown the greatest distaste for "the arts of the toilet" They won't even use powder if they can help it The Duchess of Fife looks positively ghastly as a rule, and Princess Victoria is aging rapidly. I do not mean to insinuate that the ever young Princess of Wales shows that she is "made-up." The process is so arvelous that you cannot detect itven when quite close to and in conversation can personally Trp TQ nmn? eonn people give TRAIN TO TAKE The Burlington's "Vestl buled Flyer," which leaves Lincoln every evening at 6:10 p. m. and arrives in Denver the nest morning at 7:15.

The only thing that seems to interfere with the work of art is emo tion. When she witnesses a touching play and can't help crying, she presses a 'dainty wee handkerchief to her eyes at once, before the tears can fall. Only once did she happen to be overcame by her feelings so as to forget precaution; then she fled to the back of the box and appeared no more that evening. In private life, if her serenity is the least .bit ruffled she retires to her room till she s better. Don't let us blame hsr; much depends upon her retention of her sovereignty over the popular heart, which is ever swayed by beauty. Alfred Austin has resigned his post as chief leader-writer to the Standard. Does this mean that he is going to earn his magnificent salary as Poet-Laureate? Quite a novel venture was inaugurated the other day in New Bond Btreet It is the "Tea and Tiffin Bungalow,' an Anglo-Indian restaurant where only genuine eastern dishes are to be served. I should think that it ought to succeed, especial ly as it is eo near to all the clubs. At the opening luncheon many celebrities were present, including Sir Owen Tudor Borne (who presided.) Lord and Lady Hobhouee, Sir Geo. Birdwood (of the India office,) and Sir A. Bhownaggree, M. P.
