I think I have already told you that the Dacheab of Yoik had enrolled her husband aa the only male vice president of the Needlework Guild, and bad coaxed him out of 300 contributions, mostly boys' suits and pairs of boots! Toaoaght to have ssen her one day last week, running about wearing a large apron, sorting huge piles of clothes aad making out lists, also tying up bundles for distribution! She looked pretty and matronly; her eyes were as bright and her complexion s clear as ever. Ia a way the task must have beea a aad one to her, for it was while she was helping her mother over it that the poor Duchess was seized with the fatal illness. Princess May will sever forget that, had it not been for the Gnild, ahe woald have missed the chance of being with her mother when ahe died. Perhaps it k thk thoaght that makes thk especial charity so'dear to her. Young Lord Tullibardine, another hero k engaged to be married to Miss Kittk Ramsay, daughter of Sir James Ramsay of Bamff. She is the pretty and clever child of a lovely and moat accomplished mother, Lady Ramsay be ing aa noted for her beauty as for her compceitkiBs and singing. The Duke of Athoi'a heir began hk career by getting thrown from hk hone on the occasion of fee Duke of York's wedding. He waa then a mere boy. Having just been promoted and selected to command a troop ia St. James's Park to escort the royal pair, he mBEt needs choose a splendid steed, which unluckily, ob jected at the critical moment to the fir ing of gBBs and the roars of cheering. So the poor youth got a nasty spill close to the Royal carriage, was unconscious for aome time and lost hk day s fin. The Qaeen make frequent inquiries about him, as he and hk people are favorites. (I I k handsome mother k the eldest sister of Georgina, Countess of Dadley.) The young man has lately done gallant things in Egypt; one of hk exploits being the rescue of two of the mea of hk troop under a heavy fire. Both the poor fellows died; but Lord Tullibardine at least saved their bodies, at the risk of hk life, from desecration. Hk mea are deeply attached to him. Dariag the fever which he contracted after the battle they were intensely aaxiews; bet bow he k well on the way to coaraleacence. He will probably gat the Victoria Cross. Hk pretty betrothed who k twenty-four, three years youuger than he must hare suffered tack dariag hk absence. They were before ha left, bat it thought best not to publish the fact until the war was over. I hear that the Duke of Marlborough paid a flying vkit to Paris. He k back again now. The Duchess and her baby boy are doing well. The glass portrait of Her Grac?, which Alma Tadema k executing for Blenheim, will be very handsome, if "I may judge by the artist's sketches. It will represent her in her presentation costume, just aa she. wore it at Court, and some of her finest jewels. Madame Blanche Marchesi (Baroness Caccamki) was accompanied by Princess Beatrice in all the songs she gave before the Queen. Henry Bird was ill, and disappointed at the laet moment. It k a good thing that the Princess is such a fine pianist! Blanche Marchesi k much excited over her coming American tour for which she k busily arrarging her programmes She has just been to Park to see her mother, and to get her gowns for her tour. "1 don't expect to find time even to buy a pair of shoes before next August! she said, the other day. She waa recently interviewed and told the strange story of her wonderful talent. It appears that ahe had no voice at all until she was twenty five; that k to say the voice was there but it would not come out; the larynx would not develop. But all the while she waa waiting ahe was "practicing with her brain." She beard all her famous mother's inetiuctioo; she declares that her will so influenced her vocal chords that they gradually learned what they had to da and became flexible. When at last, "like a flash, ber voice came to her she could sing perfectly. That ahe does thk you will agree when you hear her. The art is cohsemmate; rare tone color, impulse, passion, intellect all combine to make up the fascinating entity of thk beautiful woman. I am glad to learn that ahe haa made an ex caption in your favor, having invested in some lovely colored gowns one ia palest flesh-pink, another in yellow and soon for her appearance among yon. As a rule, she dresses only in black. JElancfee Marchesi k a delightful talker. Yov will be charmed with her, both as a woman and artiet.
