One word of the scandal of afternoon tea.

Give my love to your mother, and kisses to DORA—

(She's doing the season with you, I presume?)

And believe me your ever affectionate, FLORA.

P.S. Mrs. K. has eloped with her groom!

Scandal Hall, Torking.


ONLY FANCY!

We find the following paragraph in a contemporary:—

A meeting on the Somersetshire floods has been summoned by the Earl of CORK, Lord-Lieutenant of the County, for to-morrow, at Bridgewater.
