In the first~case an Ambassador W88 lll-Bl leaving and a sudden cry went up for his car. The big limousine started suddenly into mo- tion and drew up in front of the house. The car door was opened by the chauffeur, the Ambassador walked down the steps, . . . . .. and then there emerged casually from the interior of the vehicle a young couple who had choscli this as a suitable placeln which to sit outl

The other story also concerns this lncreasl ._practice of using other instead of crowded lounges or uncomfortable stairs for sit in‘ out.

Lubllslilncnt like Windsor Castle.

When the Court is ln residence there is a veritable regiment of servants, and they cannot be dis- pensed wltll. 'i‘he ‘house’, so to speak-kitcheils, bedrooms, royal flllartlrlents, and so on-requires a staff of something like 300 outdoor and indoor servants, and then there is the stewards department of about ‘l0 or 80 more—head buticrs, ladies" liluids, footmen, and other personal attendants. ‘

Till-ii l8. of course, only when the Court is ill residence at the Castle, but even at other times scores of servants are necessary to k ep the place in order. and all these ‘have to be paid and fed.

There is, therefore. some specula- l-loll. as to thc ultlmatdfuture of thc Castle; whether in the course of years thc great building may still remain the home of the Sovereign.

The royul family resides there much less tliull during the reign of King Edward. A stay at Windsor Castle in January in days gone by was on invariable rule, and so was all autumn visit for shooting in the Great Park, several parties of guests assembling for thc sport, but today

- the Easter stay and the sojourn for Ascot seem about the only times that royalty visits Windsor during the year.

The duties of a Chief Whip are notoriously wearing, but several strenuous years as the holder of that office-seem not to have short- ened the life of Sir William Hart Dyke, who has now attained the ages of 90 years.

Sir William, who succeeded his father as seventh Baronet in i875, was Chief Whip in Beaconfieidb administration from i874 till 1880. and ili‘l885-6 was Chief Secretary for Ireland. _

At his beautiful Kcntisli liolllc. Lulliilgstoilo Castle, near ‘Durtford, is preserved a curious "luck",-~a leather bag of antique workmanship ilito which every hell‘ to the Dyke estates drops ii coin when he mar- ries. This llas been done by many generations of Dykes, but no one knows how many coills the bag con- tains, tradition- averring that to coullt the contents would bring dire calamity upon the family._

The Marquess of Aberdeen who will of course be remembered in Canada, as Governor-General from 1893 to i898, has just reached his 80th birthday. He wears his years lightly, possibly because his sense of humour has kept life wholesome for him. ~

At thc end of his first period as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland almost the whole population of Dublin turned out to do llim honour, and he likes to recall, as a typical Irish Bull, tlic remark of oileof the spectators. -—"Sure, we gave him a grand re- ception when he was going-away."

nce during the term he had a famous Irish Judge who had been a strong politician, sitting besfde‘him at s. =State dinner in Dliblln Castle. "Do you thing." asked Lord Abor- deen, "there are many Home Rulers here tonight?" '

“Dlvll a wall" replied the Judge. “except your Excellencies and the waiters." ' »

Sir Robert Horne, the ex-Chall- cellor of the Exchequer, is more u. trade emissary than a politician nowadays, and he has learned t0 combine business with pleasure. ~

During thc noxt four months hc will visit four Continents and he will be very llttlc sccu lll Loildoli until Parliament re-opens for thc next session.

He will go to Montreal shortly to attend a meeting of the Empire Min and- Metallurgical Institute. of wh oh he is president, and soot! after his return he will set ollt again for Burmah.

On the completion of this business trip hednterlds visiting Australia and New Zellland/and ou his way home he will make a ‘number of calls in Canada.‘ ,

A‘ Mystery Countess

(By British United Preu)

LONDON, August 84. — The coming visit io England of Mme. Camille Flammarlon. has stirred fresh interest in France in a. re- markable mystery which for mauy years has fascinated French peo- pie.

A beautiful young French Cpuutose fell gravely lll, and on her deathbed bugged her doctor to IJHITY- out a strange request. "l have a confidential confession to make lu you," the Countess gasped with llor last breath.

"l have. loved Camille Flammar- ion, the brilliant young astronomer, wltll a ‘flaming passion, and now that l am dyiug_.i want him to llzivc ii souvenir from me.

“It will aalonlsb you to know that i have never been presented lo him, or talked to him or even llceil him. but [have developed silcll llll intense admiration of llf.

"i want to remain with him lll the flesh, and so l beg you that as soon as I die you cut a big piece of skin oft my shoulders and send ll lo llim as a binding ‘for one of ills books. .
