A PRAIRIE PASTEL.
Acre tic level prairies,

Asttetofoaal,

That overcomes at last
the pay aad brows,
Ai tides, the sands that gird
the ocean's sheen.
Aad ever as the verdant
tide moves on
The teadt&g sides
grow tofter overhead,
Aad sear the shallow stream
that flows thro sand
The stunted willow
lifts its lance of red.
Oa hrokcnlnem-weeds

His soag seems calling
to the stirring earth
To loosen from their prison
in the mold
The prairie tlowers that decked
the spring-babe's birth.

a sonorous call comes down
From ct the urn-kissed air,

A world as fair as ever

IiOnflon letter.
I bear from Cannes that the Prince of
Wales has bean taking cycling lessons
frosa an expert. He always has his
eqaerry in attendance and pannes hie
studies with great energy. I suppose he
prefers to do his practice while he is
abroad. Hitherto he has only ridden a
tricycle. By the time he comes borne he
will, no doubt, be quite expert. He is
enjoying his holiday like a boy let loose
from sihool. Everyone seems determin
ed to give him a good time. The most
asaasin; tales are told about the little
dinners which are being got up expressly
to please him. You can imagine easily
how tbey are constituted, plenty of wit
and beaaty, and no responsibility. He
will be very sorry to come home.
vereae is talking about the charms
of Lady Granville Gordon's debutante
daughter aad only girl, Mis3 Armyne
Gordon. The fair lassie who is nine
teenbears her father's second name as
her own baptismal one. It was very cute
of Lady Granville so to arrange her trade
venture as to be able to retire on a com
. fortable competence, some years before
her daughter's debut. Tou see, b the
rules of the English court, she could not
have presented Miss Armyne had she
been keeping on her pretty shop. The
paradoxical regulation is that no one
engaged in retail trade may be on Her
Majesty's visitiog list, but the big whole
'sale people, like the Allsjppe or Sir
Blundell Maple, may go to court freely
and the Marchioness of Londonderry
and Lady Dudley are not. refused the
private entree because their husbands
sell coal. Armyne Gordon and her
mother wore two of the very prettiest
of the drasses at the last drawing room.
She will get plenty of gayety this season,
for her aunts on her father's side include
the Countesses of Ancaster anil Lons
dale, while her uncle, of course, is the
Marquis of Hunfly. She has two bro
thers still in their teens.
Lord Hopetoun'e two sisters. Ladies
Estella and Dorothea Hope, hmve start
ed a pony farm in. Kent, which tbey
intend to make a paying concern. Both
young ladies are bright, practical and
fond of country life, so people are pro
phesying success to their, plucky ven
ture. Pony breeding is a coming indus
try, according fo economic wisacree.
One pf our brightest woman writers,
Ella Hepworth Dixon, has been airiog
her opinion of your countrywomen. She
finds the American woman charming as
an entity, and dw.ells with delight upon
the esprit de corps which' leads fair
Americans to make friends vith each
pther, .drees to please each other," and
entertain each other. "A n Englishwom
