Scandals lie as close in her story as beads on a string
Yet she is blithely led to the altar by an in- fatuated young man of eight and twenty who is heir to a noble name and the future, King of England says, " Bless ye, my children.”
Between Mr. Langtry's two wedding days lies a brilliant career of conquest as a beauty,
The first chapter of her life reads milky white as a story book for the ever-to-be-considered young person. It is something like this.
Charlotte La Breton, daughter of the good dean of the Church of England on the fair Isle of Jersey, grew in beauty day by day (like the children in the poem) until she reached the age of eighteen. She was a splendid. strong, happy young girl, taraptured with the Joy living.
could She swim and row, She was carefully educated, but not over-educated. In her eighteenth sum mer along came one. Edward Langtry, a fairly good-looking, amiable, nearly middle-aged Englishman of moderate fortune. He fell in love with her, of course, as any merely human man of disengaged fancy, must have done. The dean and his wife thought it a good match for their daughter, and so they got married.
And lived happily ever after?,
Well, no. That's what would have happened if it had only been a story in the young per- son's story book. Being Mrs. Langtry's story It is not for the young person at all, at all.
The second chapter--the chapter she has presumably just closed-is the story of Mrs. Lantry and the men who made her famous.
On the cheerful Isle of Jersey no suspicion ever entered her happy young mind that she would ever be famous, so when she settled down in a cosy, well-appointed cottage on the out- skirts of London with her heavy, dull, doting, kindly husband it was with never a thought of being the bright particular star in London's splendid social life, but her husband had the British love of sport, he now and then brought. ncing friend home to meet his lovely young
wife.
and curiously enough in this novel the heroine crowns her career by a love match-- her history is exposed to her young husband -a fate that cannot overtake the Lily, for her fame and history is not likely to prove a sur prise to any Englishunan of voting age
What will chapter three of her life be? What will the story of the next decade or two be?

If our marine had been no larger than that of the United States, could we have hoped to attain that position? The question only ad mits of one reply. A great shipowning nation may become, and is likely to become, a great shipbuilding nation. The converse appears to as to be almost equally true. On the whole, then, we do not believe that under present con ditions our shipbuilders have much cause for so far as to give American shipowners the anxiety.

He was some years ago involved in a turf scandal, and on bringing suit against Lord Durham of the Jockey Club was awarded one farthing dám ages for the harm done his reputation. Sir George was not long in discovering that Mrs. Langiry was an uncommonly handsome young woman. She was too lovely to hide her light under a bushel. He got the Langtrys asked about to houses they hadn't dreamed of visit- ing. He called the attention of the Prince of Wales to her and the Prince of Wales made her famous. This beautiful, vivid, strong, tall young English girl with her fresh delight in the world of fashion became the rage. She was asked everywhere by royal suggestion, to please the royal fancy, to satisfy curiosity; When she entered a ball-room people stood on chairs to see her. The day came when the dull husband found himself bankrust and the famous beauty bade him good-bye.

That the materials of construc tion will be cheaper is assured. The Carnegie Company, indeed, have virtually undertaken to deliver steel plates and angles at New York; over a series of years, for several shillings a ton less than they can be bought anywhere else, whether in the Old World or the New. It is possible that American labour may be equally effective at the price, which of course will be nominally higher than in Europe. In short, there is no insuperable bar to the United States realising their claim and threat that of building ships cheaper than they can be built elsewhere.
