Frequent Visits. This advice was given during fre quent visits Mr. Gladstone paid to Mr. Langtry shortly after she en- tered on her stage career. She de scribes these visits, at which Glad stone sometimes read Shakespeare to her, in the following passage:—

"Once during my engagement at the Haymarket I gave a Sunday party, to which I asked, among other great personages, the Prime Minister.
