DICKENS' DAUGHTER IN MILLAIS PICTURE.
Mr. William Allinson writes from Gateshead-on-Tyne to the "Daily Telegraph," London: "I was interested 'to read particulars of Sir John Millais' wellknown picture, 'The Black Brunswicker,' and also that the lady depicted was Miss Dickens. When she married in the summer of 1860 it created no little excitement in Gad's HHI and the neighbourhood, and the great novelist was entirely unprepared for such an ovation, which he rightly regarded as a tribute of respect to himself. Her husband, Charles Collins, died in 1873, after years of patient suffering. She subsequently married the well-known painter, C. E. Ferugini. I have by me now a picture group—in the porch at Gad's Hill Place, in which she figures. This was taken in 1805."
