AN AMUSING SKIT
Miss Mary Dunn is responsible for "Lady Addle Remembers," an amusing skit on the vapourings of some modern writers of recollections. Lady Addle's relations are typical of the people one meets in the pages of certain memoirs —her dear mother, who always took a little rug with her to sit on when calling at neighbouring houses "unless she knew exactly where the chairs had come from"; her grandmother, who always wore white kid gloves in the house because she had an aversion to touching anything that had been handled by servants; her sister Mipsie, whose "hair turned chestnut in a singlo night," and many others. Naturally, Lady Addle has a good deal to say about herself.
