If Prince Francis of Teck marries Duchess Marie of Mecklenbnrg-Streltz he will have a very pretty bride. Her father is the only son of the Duchess of Teck's sister, so she 1b Prince Fran cis'e first cousin once removed! You may, perhaps, remember that her moth er, the Hereditary Grand Duchess of , Mecklenburg-Strelitz, was voted the prettiest royal lady in the jubilee pageant of '87; and she still looks mar velously young lo have a daughter aged twenty. Prince Francis is twenty-eight. He is a very handsome young sprig, but inclined to be extravagant. It is a fam ily failing with the Tecks to be out at elbows. By the way, at the private sale of the effects of the late Duchess of Teck, the jewelry as was only right passed into the hands of the Duchess of York. That much-tried young person is now looking a little brighter, having got her husband afloat once more. He has been so ailing and miserable of late that everyone is thankful to see him restored to his beloved navy; and it is hoped that sea breezes and congenial employment may hearten him up Little Alexander of Battenberg is another enthusiastic sailor. When the authorities of the Britannia offered to make some relaxations of the rules in his faror. and his mother declined the in dulgence, the young twelve-year-old ap plauded lustily. "Why, I want to be treated just like anybody elee!" cried he. So the Coburgs are not coming to town after all. This gives the last touch of dullness to the very unexpectedly dis appointing season. What with the weather, the absence of all the young princesses, the bad times and the decis ion of the Americans that it would be unpatriotic to entertain much during war time, things are decidedly slow, so that the debutantes and tradesmen are grumbling right and left. The Marl boroughs have come home; but I hear they are going to spend most of their time at Blenheim. One person at least seems patisfied, however, that there is to be plenty more gayety, since she has just announced her arrival in town ''for the season." This is Lady Mary Saurin the Earl of Harrowby's aunt aged ninety-eight! This cheerful individual danoed at the Waterloo Ball. She mar ried Admiral Saurin, who died in the year of their golden wedding, and she has been a widow twenty years! The Duchess of Cleveland and Baroness Burdett-Coutts still youthful at eighty four are juveniles indeed beside her. Another apparently confirmed bache lor has been caught by feminine charms at last. This is the Earl of Stradbroke, whose engagement to Miss Helena Keith-Frazer is just announced. The Earl is thirty five, very smart and popu lar. He has seen all his five sisters married without evincing ahy desire to emulate them. The bride elect is Lord Dudley's cousin. Her mother is the daughter of the late Mme. de Falke (whose first husband waa a Ward); and she is also related to all the handsome young people of the clan Forbes. So it will be a smart and aristocratic wed ding. Through her father Miss Frazer comes of a race of distinguished sol diers. I hear that poor Mrs. Gladstone has sunk back into her former "dotty" con dition. She does not even remember that her husband is dead, but usually imagines that he is in the next room. The Iateet subject for gossip is the en gagement of Miss Fleetwood Wilson to Prince Alexis Dolgourouki. (Please to understand that this popular lady does not belong to the Wilsons who have been so much talked about lately. Her fath er was a Northamptonshire landowner, a very learned man.) All "dear old Fleet wood's" friends were striken dumb with amazement when they heard the news. She is one of the "uost popular hostesses in society and a great friend of the Prince of Vales. In town, aa well aa in Scot land, at Cannes and at St. Moriti, her entertainments have been unique, and no doubt the has had plenty of opportu nities to marry during put years. How ever, she haa always seemed quite con tent to act aa chaperone to the girls, several of whom having charming mem ories of her sympathy and tact; and being a great heiress, she could afford to do as she liked giving her young friends a thoroughly good time. The (Cornwallia Wests generally made her house in Port man square their headquarters before Daisy married Prince Pleas. She also rents Old Mar Caatle from the Duke of Fife. I hear that she will not leave England on her marriage, but will con tinue her social beneficences. I hope Prince Alexis will prove worthy of her. He is the third son of the famous Prince Dolgourouki, and he distinguished him self in the Rusao-Turkkh war. He was presented to the Prince of Wales at the last levee. The Prince doesn't mind the marriage, provided the bride does not give up her nice little entertainments. What a contrast he is to that favorite of fortune, Lord Shaf tsbury! Not con tent with being a beauty-man and a rav ishing tenor, that most eligible of bach elors has now succeeded to his mother's large fortune. Everyone thought, when this happened, be would ieave the army; but he is far too keen a soldier, so he re joined his regiment (the Tenth Hussars) at Canterbury. Perhaps he ia not sorry to escape the chase in London for the present! But once his mourning is over he will indeed be a marked man for mammas and maidens! On the 22d, the Princess of Wales, for the first time in her life, opened a bazaar for the Roman Catholics. The charity was the Norwood Orphanage of the Sis ters of Mercy. The fete was held at Im perial Institute. BY A TURN OF THK HEAD. -P atlaaad Bis -Wlfa sad taa TkMlw Oat Hla Dteaan A city official, who supposes the e! ode Is a close family secret, arranged with hla wife to meet her at the ofles last Friday night at 7 o'clock, says ths New York Herald. They were then to have dinner at a hotel, and attend ths theater. He was prompt, but Bis wife had not yet arrived, ss he patlenUy waited on the sidewalk with his eyes on the door that she might set coat without his knowledge. He paced back and forth, reading the bulletins, ob serving the direction of the wind and looking at the clock as it marked the fasslng minutes; but he saw all whs entered the building. Hs heard a loud clanging ef gongs, as a fir saglns dashed down 6th avenue, and tuned his head for not more than live seconds to look after it. His wife was only a few minutes late, as sne hurried from a Broadway car and rushed Into ths efflce, during the five seconds his head was turned. She had not seen him, and was pleased to think that he would hs the one to be blamed for being late, as he sat down to wait his coming. Hs continued to wait and pace, as ths cloak ticked o the minutes. Eight o'clock was near and he became. Terr. impatient, as he realized that It meant to either miss dinner or the fret act of the play. When 8 o'clock was passed he saw another act slip away. Tn. a few minutes more he bad given Ov the theater, and feared for the dinner. Ia another ten minutes an of the plains were changed, and he determined to go home. She was also discouraged and hurried to the street to take a northbound cable car. They met, and well; the theater was given up, vst they bad a dinner and each, promlss) to say nothing about it Wqnal to Oaaaslasv Tint Boy (with bmnd-e) Yom stof licking that dog at ma, I'll m give aim this meat.
