"What a funny litUe man you are \" Theae were the now historic words used by Lord Alfred Douglas in reply to his father, the Marquis of Quoensberry. So much was elicited by the recent sensational trial of Oscar "Wilde. The same remarkable words ate found in that remarkable book, "The Green Carnation," and in this case are used by Lord Reggie Hastings. Now, it is rather an open question as to whether Lord Douglas quot-'d the words of the novelist, or whether the latter utilised the reply made to the Marquis by hia prodigal Eon. Ttat the fatber fully deserved such an epithet ia clearly shown by tha fact that he chose to make his own cgarettes, when he could obtain Indian Chiefs at sixpence a packet.
