The Duchess of Buccleuch, a clever, ambitious woman, proud of her almost unique position and power, has from the first overshadowed her husband, a mail whose tastes are largely pastoral. She is the most exclusive woman in London, and her parties are not noted for their vivacity, although many people yearn in vain to be seen at them. But credit is due to the Mistress of the Robes for the strong stand she lakes against modern vice and folly in society, a stand which leaves her a somewhat solitary figure. High play is steadfastly frowned upon in ally of her six houses, and married women having a good time without their husbands do not figure amongst her guests. In a word, the duchess is strong!} Victorian in her notions notions she absorbed during years of deVoted attendance upon the late'Sovereigu. It has been decided by the Glasgow Sheriff-Principal, on appeal, that after a Scotsman has granted his intemperate wife an allowance the sheriff's officers may remove her from his house and arrest her if she returns.
