Americans in London.
Long years ago the English people were in daily dread of a French invasion. Now they are called upon to witness an American one, and are none the worse for it ; in fact, they rather Jike the process. One has only to glance over the list of singers at private or' public concerts' or at the opera, or to contemplate the playbills of the day, to realise what a footing our country people hava gained here in the artistic realm of England. Mmes. Antoinette Sterling-, Anna Bulkley Hills and Miesee Hope Glenn, Gertrude Griewold, Maryi Johneton and Nettie Carpenter in concert^- Jujia Valda and the beautiful Ell» Russell in opera. Meeera. Oudin and Wilder, the Daly troupe, and the " Adonis" troupe are among the successes of the hour. The moat brilliant entertainment of the season, so far, has been given by Mrs John W. Mackay. The most elegant-court dreeees that have been worn at the druwing-rooma have been those of Mrs Mackay and of Mrs Marshall 0. Roberts, Miss Adele Grant has been the acknowledged beauty of , the season, her claims heing shared without being lessened, by Mies Marion Langdon. Thus the Stars and Stripes have been entwined in beaceful social rivalry with the Union Jack, and I am not prepared to say bat what the transatlantic banner has had the best of it.
