Tittle-Tattle. U,nid,e.r this title there is a most inteTest-iaig ar- ticle in the AprilmlUimber of "Tlhe Ladiy's Maga- zine." It is cramimedi with pliotgmpibs of well- known people, and there are many interesting f f bh. 1:te:miS' '0 1nl or,maÜün.a. out SlUC prolIDlnent per- somages as Prince Francis. of Teck, the Duke and Duic'hessi of Norfolk, Mi Sydney Gr.uinidy, and miany athersl. Almost everybody h)as, onjoyed the charmdng play, "A Pair of Spectacles," 'and' will be, inter- ested in blearing aibout its clever aiukhor, 11' Sydney Grundy. What was Mr Sydney Grundy's first play, anldi w'lueni dlid Ihe write it? He is so^ well- knoiwn as the Ibrillliant 'aiuithor of "A Pair olf Spectacles," "Hadldon Halil," "Sowing the Wind," and1 "The Degenerates," that the ques- tion is of interest to everybody. As a miattex of fact, Mr Grandy be!-an his professional life as a baTr.ister, in. Manches'tex, and while wait- ing for bxielfst time hung heavily on 'his hamdis. One day he caugiht sight of a liMe one-act play he. had written soime time, before, and! the impulse, seized hiim (to sendl the. maouisicript to ,?a,niage,rl oif th? llaymia,rke?t, 'Ir B,uckston6, ,the? u-- e with the word'si: "You imiay play thiis for nothing." About >a week passed, and! them a letter came from Mr Buckstone's secireitary, sayingi that the play was in reheiarsal, and) would be performed ait Mr BrU¡Ckstoine" s forthcoming benefit; also thait. M'rand Mrs Kendal would play the princi- pal parts. Mr Grundly hastened to. London and ,ma,dle the acquaintance of Mr annl Mrs Kendal. This wlas the turning point am has_ career, and from themceforifchi everything was fairly smooth. It appeared thait Mr B'UicksitoaTe parlticularly iwianlced to' have the Kenidlai's in. the bill. at his (benefit, and a-s therc. were no parts for them in the first pielce which had been decided oin, Mr B'ucksiton'e hiamded the young barrister's- play to Mr Kendal, saying;: "Look here, siotme joker -njt thiis? he siay it for no,t[hing 'ha?s,se s I:iiiiay play, I ■—thla-t is jlust whaf: I want. Take ilthoiiie, and' ,se,e if it is any good." Mr Kendal reported farvourably, andl the play, which; was- entitled "A Little Change," siaiw the. footlights, in 1872. The marriage of (the- Duke of Norfolk was an evemit of igreiaft limipoxtance. Thb new Duchess of Norfolk will bel an i-dtea'l hostess at Arumdel, for, like her father, Lord1 Herries, -she- has a great dove of the country. During (the sixte-em years of hi,s y widowhood the Duke led a very retire,di life, but now he and' his bride will, probably keep up the splendour for which, his-, establishment used ito. be flamed during the lifetime of the first d;uches9. On onto -occasion the ducal pair drove, to Ascot with iso brilliant a cortege that it re- mtindied the spectators of a Stlaite procession of Royalty. The nuke did not exercise. at. his wedddinlg his .right, as Lord Marshal, to. have ,an e;s; o,rt -of c?at-alry, b,ut '.ha,d he ?dlon,e? so 'c the claim! would certainly have been ad- miiittedi. Lady Chesterfieilid' -iis one' of the' rnosit beautiful wotmeini in the kingdom. b Somte'how o-ve, always connects Lady Che's- t-erfiieid with "The Book of' Beauty," far not only has shei admally atpp'aaTed in its piages, .but she, is .undoubtedly one of the most 'lovely women in England, All her sisters, who' are the daughters of M.r Charles Wilson, are. also remaxkaible for their beauty, and she herself, upon, her mlarxiage withi Lord Chesterfield, soon became one of the leaders of the ultra- smart set. Her husband is mamiy years her senior, but looks much. younger Ithan his- age, aindl under- santds. the art of dress to perfection. His m,other was- one of the "Handsome Hays- of Hiays't-o'un," and from heT he has inherifted a large share -of the family g,oodi looks. His home. in Herefordshire' -is- a. most stately place, but until 'his iinarriagei he was poor for a man. of his rank. A moist charming photograph is- given of 'the Countess of Wa.rw'ick's" little boy. ,,e'st soia T,h?-- HToin. -I?ay,niard G-r,evil-le, young oif 'the Countess of Warwick, is a remarkable pretty il,it tile, boy, who is very much in request as page 'at fashionable weddings. He is now about six years old, amd has charming miasmeis and a bright, iintelligenlt exp^ssion. He has very often been painted in miniature, and re- minds one of the picturesque Millais children whooncel used to o-race the waMs of the Academy. Whether he .is at Warwick Castle or D'Uinimiow, he finds plenty of amiusement ira the companionship of the many four-footed friends hiis mo'tfoer loves to gather -rouind her, which include a marmoset, a. baby elephant, and numberless horses.and dogs. He is speci- ally foin-d -of the eliephant, hÙlt tis on good term's wiitti ithem all. M'any of oiur readers have appreciated >the mar- vellous voice of Miss Edit'h Helena. A photo- graph of hier fisi given a-ndl soime in,tereisilanig infor- mation. Misig Edlith Helena, the American soprano-, with the highest range in the world', who has been singing -lately im London, produces her high motes- without the' slightest effort or incon- venience. Sb-e, can reach, the F sharp in altc" with ease, and..during: her imitation -of a violin goes up to t'he G beyond, in addition to. which her voice is thoroughly under control. Such a range, i!s, of course, phenomenal, 'and in this ciase is hereditary, for her m-olther, who was also a singer, had the same high 1lloltes, an-d they have not beert in 'any way forced nor even devel- opeid, by trainling. Du Maurier writes of Triilby that "ishiei had a roof it-o her mouth like the dome to St. Paul's," and this is equally true of M3ss Helena, who possesses am extraordinarily high palalte. As a child, s'ingdnig^ came quite naturally (to her, and; high motes without effort, vo she studied ini New York, and, while living in Texas, used1 to pracitise in the open air. The- fashion of having very smlall ibridesimiaads is greiatly ini -favo,ur jUlslt mow. The weddimgi -of Lordl Ingestre a.nd Miss1 Wini- fTedi Paget is fixed for April. The bridle-elect, followlinlg the example of Princess Alice Off Teck, imtendlg: only !tlo hialve very young bridesmaids, and the .wedding will take place at St. Peter's, E:a)toin-square. Her younger sister recently mar- ried Lord Herbert, son tandl heir of the Earl of Pembroke, and both are the daughters of Lady Alexandra Paget.

Two Miles a Minute. r There: are. not many alive who have travelled all a train speeding along at the rate of two miles a minute, but of the privileged! half-dozen or so that have, M'r Fritz Volkmaain is one, and he writes aim interesting account of his voyage in the April number of "Peairsoil-s Magazine." The trip was1 made, on the .new electric line; be- tween ■Marienfelde land Zossen ors the outskirts of Berlin "Before: starting," .says Mr Volkanaain, "I was r.eminded in a. suggestive way xhat it was not ab- solutely unattendled with. risk. The .idea was politely and kindly conveyed to me rin the, shape of a: .piece1 of piapex. I was to be specially in- sured against dleath or injury in the ev-ent of accident by '[he Deutsche .Bank, in compliance with, a formality of Prussian, law. "It was a novel experience, and, strange to say, as is generally the case, when undergoing .anything unusual afloat, ashore, or in the aiT, not one. of us felt the..slightest, mexvousness. The chief excitement experienced by myself and my fellow-travellers was in watching the meter recordl the changes in o,ur speed, asi it gradually grew faster amd, fastex. "The car is seventy feet, long, and in shape not unlike a. boat. At each. end its windows meet in a. pbint, forming, as it were, a nose, to pierce. the, wall, of air in front. At each end is a place for the mot,or-,iiian, who, by means of three wheels, a handle, and the brake, controls at will the ,enormous outside forces which, make such a..speedi possible. "'The' mot'or-man slowly turned on the current of 14,000 volts, and. the car began to. move gradually forward. As it did so, it made' a humming noise, but we felt, no kind of sensation of j'erktiness, the motion- being smoothness its-elf. Our first recorded speed was only forty-fiv,e miles, but in "a little over a, mile this, hadl in- creased' to- sixty-eight, and. them- to eighty-five. "'Faster and faster, ^anid we had reached a speed of 105 miles, w!hen my sensations of rapid travel beglan hili earnest. There was, of course, the old allusion, of passing' objects. Trees, build- ings, posts, iseeimed to be rushing past us,.and we ourselves to be .stationary. All the time we felt the desixe to' go. faster andi faster. Even; when gravelling at 130 miles an hour we chafed that we moved so slowly. We had, indeed, for a while, become: speed-mia-niacs. "'On'ce we had attained; our high. speed we be- an,, to, notice a strange, puzz-llimg, musical sou'nd —a. continuous hum, Even my 'experienced fellow-travellers themselves could not exactly account for iit, asi i't did not come from any vibraitpoin, of the machinery; but, at leingth we found the solution. Our passage; was so. furious that .stones, sand, diu.st-evexy movable object on the track, wh:ippedl in dozens, against the carriage with suc'h rapidity as to' give forth a sust.ainedl note. A rushing sound behind us -came1 from nothing elsle than: the fallen: autumn leaves, which followed us in a cyclone."

Behind the Scenes. MEMBERS 'of "the" profeission have1 always a cerlta-ini glamour surrounding them in the, eyes o:f ordinary mortals, and stories' about theatri- cal celebrities are: ever read with avidity. In the. article, entitled "'Behind the Scenes," in the April number of "'T'he Lady's Magazine," there are many photographs- and anecdotes about tlhe shining lights of the stage. "The Cricket on; :the Hearth" attractedi many to the Gaiety Theatre, and! Miss Lizzie Webster was imiost .successful in it. She once: played be- fore Queem Victoria at Windsor "'Miss Websker, who 1aad then only just gone on the stage, miade her appearance in a small part, and was surprised' to hear the Queen ask, in -an audible voice, of the Huchess of Teck, what Webster she was. On learning that she was: a granddaughter of the great Ben Webster, Her (Majesty immediately showed a great and kindly interest im the young actress, and asked: many questions about her. On the occasion of thiei Queen's Jubilee, Miss 'Webster, who is a mostacoomplisbted nleiedlewOman,, embroidered' in the Imperial .colours the ribbons 'of the presentation bou- quet whiich wa's accepted: by Her Majesty at the children's fete ini Hyde. Park, and after- wards had! Ithe- pleasure: of seeing her work under a. glass "case at Windsor Castle, with the other Jubilee presents. Needlework is one: of her favourite hobbies, and in spite of her busy professional life, she has, .also found' time to, embroider the altar cloth a!nd hang- ings in. >BeaeonBfield Church. She is a, sister o'f Mr Ben, Webster, the actor. Mi'ss .Constance Elgin tells, -s,cinei tof her adven- tures white o'n tour: Miss Elgin: has also met with slome .amusing experiences while 'touring, and recalls: am inci- denit which happened when sh.e was playing at Exeter in "The, Liars." Mr Louis de Rougemont, who was lecturing) in the same town, happened! to call at the theatre one morning, and! saw, Miss Elgin and a girl friend talking to thie; leading man, whom, he knew. "Ah, you are "Liars," he said, after t'he initrodulction. "'Liars?'" chimed tin Miss Elgin's friend; y,e,s, andi we'rel delighted: to. meet the Prince of them!" This informal meeting was, fol- lowed by tea and j-uinket at their cottage lodg- ings., and Mr de 'Rougemont was: presented by his hostesses with a little gold lucky bielan, as a souvenir of their meeting. He-re is another incidtent, more pathetic than' amusihg. When1 Miss Elgin, was playing '"Cigarette" in. Glasgow, one evening, at the end! of the performance,' the call-boy came to tell her that a little boy wanted to .see her. On going to the, door she found' a poorly- dressed pale-faced: c:hlidi of about eleven, who said in broad' Scotch: "Did you play 'Cigar- ette?' to 'which she answered "Yes." He thlen sati,d, i7a,,he,r, ba?s?h-f-u.Ily: "-Y?u took Y'O-U,V part fine h,ere's? a brooch for yotl, and, she found a little leard,b-oar,di box, containing an imitation, enamel brooch, thrust into her hand. Before she could thank bsr- little ;admirer he had flown, but in going home the same even- ing, she was followed,' at a respectful dis- tance, by thlesame little- bov, and some time later whi,?n sl-iel l,ooke,d',out of h er s,i-ttin,g-ro,om w,n??o,w, te?ere he was, st-ill watching the house. One of our strongest .actors is Mr Holbrook Blinn. An experience of bisanl 'the other side elf the "beriiing-pond" will amuse our readers Mr .Holbrook Binn told me a goad: story the .other night about an -experienioe he had in America. The play was "As you like it," and the place was Detroit, 'Michigan. On the morning after the first performance one; news- papeT appeared with lilIO mention whatever of the theatre' or the company. 'This, however, was its criticism, which was headed "The Bac- onian Theory." It ran: "The believers, in the 'Baconian Theory wil'l mow have am opportunity of proving the truth of their opinions. If to-day the graves' of Shakespeare amd Bnoin be opened, the 'body of that one which turned over last night will establish the- authorship of "A.s you like it." Mr'Blinini makes, a sin-king Napoleon in "The Duchess of Damtzic." H,er is American by birth, and produced: "The Cat amd the Cherub" in New York, and1 took "lib and Christina" to the. States, so that the American stage owes him no. small debt. The moisit difficult pfart he ever played was, he considers, the; hypocritical brother im '"Sweet and Twenty,amdi his shortest part was Flamand in "Saplho," who, appears only juist, before the fall of the curtain. The latter part, however, is a striking bit of humanity, and: among all the fine roles he has p l'ay ed, he tells me, he never felt onie, more. Miss Katlhl/een Courtney was a great success in. "Robinson Crusoe," at the Prince of Wales' Theatre, Birmingham, last s,eas,on She; is only fourteen years' of age, and; began her public career when she was- ten, with, a dance and small .solo. She next play,edi the March Hare with Mr Hicks an Miss Terriss, and' -then, had an, engagement in Italian Opera at Covemt Garden. One night "Lucia" was being performed, with 'Madame Melba in the title-role. The mad scene was just oveT, amdMelba was called again and again, until she grew tired, and still the audience continued to applaud. Think- ing that Melba had made up her mind not to respond amy more, little Kathleen Courtney ran across; the stage., when suddenly the great prima donna, came: forward again, the" cur- tains opened, and! there sltood Melba, with the terrified Óhildi by her side, to. the great amuse- ment of the, audience, who. roared with fau;gh-_ ter. Miss Courtney loves the. wo'rk, anid used: to recite; whteln only four. Her favourite, amuse- it", me-nit i!s x?eaid:ing. "I s?i,m?ply l,ove says 'be, naively; "no. book is too large for me."

To Those About to Marry. "The. Letters from oa self-made Merchant to his 'Son" which are appearing month, by month nn the. pages of "Pearson's Magazine," are full of the real inimitable brand of Yankee humo-ur, and yet c'ontain ma,ny home-truths and words of sage adice. "Old Gorgon, Graham's" advice to those, about to miarry is oln. the- whole more satisfactory than that of Mr Punch. He says — "I'm. still learning how to treat an old! wife, and sO I can't give you many pointers' about a young one. For while, I've been married as long as I've been im business, and. while I know all the curves of the great American hog, your Ma's likely tOo spring a new one om me to- morrow. No. mam.1 really knows anything aboult women: except a, widower, and he forgets it when he's ready to marry again. And no woman really knows, anything about men except a widow, and she's got to forget it before she's willing to marry again. The one thing you cam know is that, as> a general proposition-, a. woman is a little better than the man for whom: she c-ares-for when a woman's bad there's always a man at the bottom of it; and when a man's good there's- always a woman, at the bottom, of that, too. "The fact of the matter is. that, while marriages' may be made in Heaven, a lot of them are liv-edl in! Hell, and end in South Dakota. But when a, man has picked out a good woman he holdls faur hearts, .and he. n's.edin't be afraid to draw cards if he's got good nerve. If he hasn't z, 9 he's got no. business fo be sitting in games of cbanlce. The best woman in the world will be. gin- trying out a man before she's been married to him twenty-four hours; and; •unless he can smile over the top of a fo,u-r-flusht, and raise the ante she's going tOo rake in the breeches and keep them. "The, great thing is to- begin right. M'arriage is a close corporation, -and unless a fellow gets the controlling interest at the start he can't pick it up. later. The- partner who owns fifty-one per c-ent. of the stock im any business is 'the boss, even if t'he alther one is .allowed. to can, himself president. There's' only two. jobs for a man in his own. house.—one's, boss andl the other's office-boy, and a fellow naturally falls info, the -one he's fitted for. "Of course, when: I speak of a fellow, being boss in h,l s O,wn home;, I simply mean that, in a broad, way, he's going to shape the policy of the concern. When a man- goes sticking his nose into- the runninlg of the house; he's apt to get it tweaEed, and; while he's busy drawing it back out of danger, he's going to get his leg) pulled too. You let your wife tend to the marketing, and you focus; on earning money with which she can- market. Of course, in-one way, it's mighty nice of a man to help around1 the house, but it's been, my experience that the fellows who tend to, all tlfe siii)alli jobs at di,ome, iiev,e?r 11 ,et al-iyth '11:g else to, tend to, a't the' office. In. the end it's usually cheaper to give all your 'attention tOo y-o-ur business and to hir, a plumber."
