London Flower-Seller.
A London flower-seller is mentioned in the will of a duke's daughter, who was her regular customer for 18 years, states a correspondent. Lady Margaret Frances Susan Orr-Ewing, daughter of the seventh Duke of Roxburghe, left £lO to Mrs. McCarthy, ‘‘the flower-seller near Farm Street Church.” Mrs. McCarthy gave up selling flowers two or three years ago, and has not seen Lady Margaret since. She did not know that Lady Margaret was dead until she learned of the legacy. “I would have liked to have known, so that I could have sent some flowers,” she said. “She was very fond of flowers. She bought, some nearly every day. We would always exchange a few words. 1 liked her very much.” Mr. and .Mrs. McCarthy have six children. “The money will be a help,” Mrs. McCarthy added. Lady Margaret left £19,911. ‘She bequeathed £l5O to her “dear friend,” Mrs, Louis Jackson, suggested that she should spend it on a trip abroad, and similar sums to other friends.
