I do not believe that anyone who has never experienced a London fog can imagine what it is. At this moment, the clock on my mantel shelf pointing to half-past two pm., I have lamps ;:nd gas alipht all over lilY house as though it wore midnipht. and whilst 1 vainly strive to see even the opposite houses in the street, I am anxious about my young folks who are out somewh. re, I don't know where, probably unable to tl lid the familiar turning from the main road. and I am conscious that my window blinds and pn-tty frilled curtains are being dyed in the smoky, unbreathable pea soup sort of atmosphere, to a veryunlovely shade of colour. It is well forthose who can abandon his; cities where coal is burned at this season of the year, and take refuge insume charm- ing country district where YellOw and black fogs are unknown, and the only representative of their unpleasant species is a white misty sort of veil, which does but add a picturesque touch to the landscape. To drive into town from the suburbs in such weather as this is a somewhat risky exploit, even though every cab now crawling along bears two lights upon it, and link men are prowling around with flaming torches, calling out to pedestrians and fog-bewildered drivers, "Want a light, sir?" Places of amusement will be reached with difficulty to-night, and I am glad to think that I am not due an where but in my own home during these dreary, confusing hours. Would such a concert JS I heard on Monday evening tempt me out ..rder Perhaps it would, but lam glad that was no such drawback to that evening's p' asurfi. The usual Popular Concert staff, consisting of Madame Nonnan Neruda, Messrs. Ries, Straus, and Piattf, played their best, but I thought their selection of and in the con- certed pieces there was 1 ittle to v ^liedu 1 iiess of Beethoven's Quartet in Eflat, and Hay" s Trio in C major. It may be treason to venture an ob- Jection to any work of these great composers, but I am not yet sufficiently trained to enjoy what I I cannot understand, and I am apt to say what I think. Mdlle. Janotha's delightful pianoforte solos compensated for any previous trial of patience. Chopin's Barcarolle in F sharp was her first piece, and then as an encore she gave us the same master's lovely Berceiise in her best and most finished style. Of this artiste's playing there can be, I think, but one opinion. It is about as perfect as human hands can make it, but the gestures and appearance of the quaint little lady lack any suggestion of enthusi- asm, or even a gracious reception of the unbounded applause which greeted her. She rose from her music stool after the most wonderfully skilful and sympathetic performance, gave a few shy awk- ward nods to the audience, and ran down the stairs, in her hurry to escape nearly upsetting little Josef Hoffman who stood with his father at the bottom waiting to thank her. She knew her youthful rival, and in a moment lifted him up in her arms and kissed him warmly. I must say the manners and bearing of the boy pianist are much more pleasing than those of his lady admirer. I sat by him during a great part of the concert, for I knew the musical friend he was with, and he listened very attentively, whispering to me "she does play, doesn't but as he talks very little English our conversation in French and Polish was somewhat restricted. I found, however, that he was as amenable to the tempi ation of a handful of little bon-bons as any other boy of his age, and even ventured to say in English, when he had ex- hausted my stOCK of glycerine lozenges and glued his teeth together with biting them, to his infinite amusement, "Have you any more, they're such fun!" Dear little man, I looked at him with great interest, hoping t ha this happy, boyish face would I never beclouded by the anxieties and trials which are too often the fate of genius. His father and mother were with him, and a little girl with whom he kept up a merry flirtation and I observed, when I told him it was time for all good little boys to be in bed, that he was carefully wrapped in a comfortable and handsome cloth overcoat, reaching to his feet, lined throughout with soft, warm silver fox fur, and he politely removed a cap of the same from his head as he merrily said "Good night." The chief features of this concert were certainly Mdlle. Janotha's pianoforte playing, and the de- lightful voc al performance of Miss Marguerite Hall. I have mentioned this charming young American artiste before, and now that I hear her again I am able to endorse my first opinion of her capabilities. She sang Schubert's Young Nun" in the original German most effectively, but the great success was, I think, in her two last songs, "Last Night," by Kierulf, thus introducing a somewhat new element in these concerts, and her favourite June Song," by Miss Mary Carmichael, who accompanied her in both herself. The first song ? is most sweet and to hing, and Miss Hall gave it fnll expression, the June Song," which is as^och'.ied with Miss Hall's intn; l iction to the public is specially beautiful I think, and interesting to me as being an instance; of sweet words wedded to sweet music. The writer of the verses, Miss Louisa Bevington, wrote a volume of noticeable poems under the name of Key Notes a few years ago, before her marriage and residence in Germany. The "June Song" is one of these, and Miss Mary Carmichael composed the music for it when studying with her friend at Munich. No combination of talent could be better than this, and the charming songstress seemed quite to enter into it, and did justice both to words and music as she stood and warbled it forth by the side of the composer. Then Miss Hall has the somewhat rare gift of clear articu1ation, so that we lost none of the sentiment of the song, and it seemed as if she really did Breathe, breathe into music a summer day tune, I Learnt of the bloom heavy breezes, and honey of noon, Full of the scent, and the glow, and the passion of June. I suppose every one finds it agreeable to have both eyes and tars pleased at one time it is a certain drawback to one's pleasure when it is not so. While 1 listened to this young American's sweet voice with delight, illY eyes also rested on her graceful and well-dressed figure with admira- tion. She wore a gown of pale blue satin, with a panel of lustrous but delicate opal beads at one side, and the satin drapery was caught up in graceful folds by a lovely bouquet of blush roses and stephanotis. At first I imagined them to be artificial, but my opera glass soon re- vealed my mistake, and I almost fancied I could scent the fragrant blossoms where I sat. Doubt- less they were the gift of some enthusiastic, admirer, intended to be worn nearer her heart, but the abundance of the flowers and their powerful perfume compeUcd the wearer to place them on the soft folds of her pretty dress. The bodice fitted her to per- fection it was made low, and had drooping white; lace arranged round the shoulders, with beads to match the panel. The sleeves were very short, and her arms were covered with pale tan-coloured long gloves. There was no awkwardness of manner about Miss Hall. She looked as though she sang with pleasure, and from the heart, and was genuinely pleased by the warm applause she got, acknowledging it without shyness, but with a sweet, happy smile on her face. I do hope we may hear this charming songstress again before she takes her flight to her American home, where doubtless she will be made much of and warmly welcomed. I have been listening to some very delightful music in my own drawing-room lately. A young medico of my acquaintance, who was advancing satisfactorily in his profession, has abandoned it as the business of his life in favour of music, feel- ing that his happiness and real future success lies in this direction. A tenor voice, even when im- perfectly cultivated, is a thing to be thankful for, but when this great natural gift is carefully trained there is nothing like it, and I almost a?ree with my friend that it ought not to be neglected or made second to any other pursuit. Mr. Lance- lot will very soon make a public debut, and we shall then hear what the critics say of him. They are never disposed to favour anyone who ventures to enter on a profession who is "not to the manner born." so I expect my friend will have to run the gauntlet of severe criticism, but his won- derfully fine tenor voice and his supreme love of music as his chosen profession will carry him though all victoriously, I feel sure. I scarcely believed my senses when I found myself the other afternoon sitting quite comfort- ably in the large arena at the WesLminster' Aquarium, with one of their tawdry Japanese painted programmes in my hand All my prejudices against this popular but somewhat shabbv place of amusement had been overruled by a band' of young folks, who insisted on my taking them to see the funnv ventriloquist, Grant, and chiefly the pack of real Hussian wolves. I own to giving in when I heard about the wolves, and read "Professor" Roche's own account as to his management of these fierce creatures. But first of all we had to sit out the exhibition of living statuary iust like: what we saw in the Crystal Palace grounds during the summer very clever and really artistic tableax. ihen came the ventriloquist, Pro- iI feasor Grant, for they are all professors" here and I must say this amusing Professor comes up to his professions, and made us all laugh very heartily with his "Funny Folks' and ventriloquial Jem Smith and Jake Kilrain There: was a boys school present, and their cheers were so spontaneous and their laughter so hearty that I think they were worth free passes-which lam afraid 1 they did not get-for I found the management at the door anything but courteous and obliging I should like to engage the Professor, with his troupe of moveable figures, foa ChristmaschHdren's part v He is far more amusing than the time-honoured Punch or marionettes. The interesting pack of wo)ves are first seen on the stage in their cages which are opened one after another t?S ma-rer. :»nn they promptly leap out into the arena m wh.ch they are to perform. This s?ace is securely enclosed with tall iron railings, Sthat? there is no danger of an unwelcome intrusion amongst the audience. lhe little "Professor" of wolf tamino- i, nearh- all his life been engaged in mtinhfo do^s horses, See but the icTea of subjugating a wolf was only recently He made his ifrst attempt on a wolf already in™^ menagerie, but it was not satisfactory and to use his own words He was One perfect fo'of" AfJ < this he ,ot one direct from Sib<:ria, and after, twel ve nwuÎ ils illces,ant training he succeeded in ¡ s".sr"1 As he obrained more wolves and made them  difficulty seem to have I¡(-en witII the wolves t-liutiistlres.

Hercules shows his teeth, but jumps on to a chair when he is told, and" Oscar" and "Freda follow suit. They all look uncomfortable and fierce. Only" Diana," behaves like a pet dog and fawns on her master in canine fashion. I could but notice how much less naturally these wild animals lend themselves to training and civilisation than any sort of (log seems to do. When a troupe of performing dogs is on a stage they all seem pleased and delighted with themselves and glad to show off their accom- plishments; but the wolves evidently grind against it, they hang their tails down alld only perform under compulsion, glad to run oft and escape when they can. The Professor kindly in troduced his troupe to us after the performance, in deference to the great interest displayed by one of our party who has a little pet wolf called .Tack in the Zoological Gardens, with whose affectionate behaviour she contrasted the shy and uneasy manners of his performing kindred. The fact is, wolves are not easily brought under con- trol and any interference with their freedom seems to develop all that is wicked in their nature. When in their cages behind the scenes even these lare and dangerous creatures submitted willingly to be stroked and petted, but they resist education and civilisation. Little "Jack" retains his natural goodness because no system of training has been tried on him. Professor Roche says that he is never afraid of one wolf alone but should he happen to slip or to be no longer on the alert when they are all around him, the whole pack would make for him ell. masse and soon demolish him. "Oscar" or "Hercules" alone may snarl and howl and show his white teeth, hut lie will not bite unless egged on by others. As I looked at these fine but terrible creatures, magnificent specimens of their kind, I could almost realise what it might be to be followed by a pack of hungry wolves, and how fearful the dread of hydrophobia from such like bites must be to all dwellers in their native Russian haunts. Professor Beckwith's swimming entertainment was next on the programme, and we went home with very varied and mingled impressions of our af*,er;i,,(,ii's diversion. The much advertised l "Belle Fatma, the Beauty of Tunis," who, with her friends of the Seraglio, made a terrible noise which they called music, seemed to me to be the leas; satisfactory part of the entertainment, and certainly not at all worth an extra shilling to see. She is neither beautiful nor wonderful,musical nor graceful, and the whole show was too absurd It IS no longer a question of autumn fashions now, ior winder yveather calls forth our warmest garments allu wrap-i. I observe that hats are worn very large with hign crowns, the brim much turned up at the sides almost like a beadle's hat, and plumes of cock's feather as trimming. They are called Boulanger hats. Broad stupes are -th Llt. in woollen, materials, which should be carefully matched iii the bodice and sleeves so as to form a sort of iiiizi-ed figure where the seams join. Gold and silver braid—in fact any kind of narrow braid-is much worn on plain fabrics, arranged so as to form elaborate pat terns on the skirt or bodice. Long mantles to the bottom of the skirt or very short jackets are the fashion. I see no medium, and ladies who are not young, or who do not care to change their dresses several times a day.affect the long mantles, which comfortably cover a rather shabby dress and are warm and pleasant to wear. Plush cloaks are universal, but the greal objection I to thein, for they look very handsome, is that the i skirt-like full back crushes when sat upon, and quickly gets shabby. The only preventative is to have the back width slit up to within a foot of the waist, and if the fronts be edged with fur to add the same to the back opening. The skirt can thus be easily drawn aside when sitting down, and it is 110 detriment to the appearance of the back when walking. I am invited to an artistic wedding next month, and I have seen the dresses preparing for the seven bridesmaids who are to officiate. They a: e of pale grey cashmere, with a panel of white cashmere thickly braided with silver let into the side, and white waistcoats in the bodices, also braided to match. The hats are of pale grey velvet, Tam o' Shanter shape. Of the wedding itself I hope to write by and bye after it is over London, Thursday. PENELOPE. TO CORRESPONDENTS. 1 "UNEMPLOYED, Birmingham. I have read your lettei- with interest, and wish I could advise you w isely, but I feel quite incompetent to do so without having personal acquaintance with your- self and your wife. So much depends on individual taste and capacity, also on peculiarities of health and constitution, of which I cannot possibly judge. I wish I could tell you "where and when to ¡;o." I I know many seaside places, where lodging-houses i may have a fair chance, but I am utterly ignorant about rents, or whether the right sort of people are in the habit of going there. I think you must; lix on the likely and desirable place in your own mind, and then make inquiries from someone whe knows, or has been a resident, and perhaps go on a visit of inspection yourself, before you make a final move, which will cost money.

MESSRS PROCTOR AND RYLAND'SI…
MESSRS PROCTOR AND RYLAND'S I ROOT PRIZES. These prizes are given for root crops grown solely by the aid of Messrs Proctor and liyland's special manure, it being an express condition that no farm- yard or other manure shall have been applied and before the awards are made an eighth of an acre frmn each competing crop has to be weighed in the presence of the judg-e. The system followed in some cases of simply walking over a crop and roughly estimating its weight is very misleading. The more reliable method of this well- known firm has now been followed for thirty-four years, and the annual publication of the weights of the winning crops is not only of interest to our many agricultural readers, but supplies a trust- worthy indication of the actual produce of the root crops of the year. We fear it is not the good fortune of all root-growers to have such satisfactory crops as those recorded below, but the fact that such crop.; have actually been grown during the present trying year shows that even in the exceptionally dry season we have experienced it is possible, with proper culti- vation and suitable manuring, to produce a yiell I of roots. One of the competitors for Messrs Proctor and liyland's prize, (Mr John llob-rts. S.iltney), has grown upwards of 2,000 tons of swedes this year. Below we dye the av;ds of the gentleman who has officiated as judge—Mr John Powell. L'pper Wick, Worcester.
