HOW TO LIVE IN LONDON.
Mrs. Craigie (as John Oliver Hobbs is known in real life) recently lectured before an American ladies' college. After the lecture she was surrounded by a number of students. These charming girls, their rose-leaf complexions, bright hair, and clear eyes, enhanced by the deep black of their gowns and mortar-boards, questioned Mrs. Craigie with respectful curiosity. "You live in London, don’t you ?” one said. "Yes, I live in London ; in Lancaster Gate,” Mrs. Craigie replied. "In Lancaster Gate, in the West End ?” "Yes,” said Mrs. Craigie, smiling. "But on account of the fogs and the damp, living in London, even in the West End, is horrible, isn’t it !” said a young girl. "Oh, not at all.” said Mrs. Craigie “If one spends the summer in the country and the winter on the Riviera, London is a delightful place to live in.”
