[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

LONDON, July 14th. For some time, as mentioned previously in this Correspondence, London hostesses have been per plexed over the problem of the uninvited guesta~" gate-crashers," as they are called. A hostess gives ball; which is very largely attend- ed, and it is next to impossible to say whether any particular guest or guests received an "invitation. It would be decidedly awkward to challenge anyone in a ballroom and discover that they had been asked to come.

The first hostess to tackle the "gate-crasher" in serious fashion is the Countess of Ellesmere, the hostess of one of the most brilliant balls of the season, given at Bridgewater House a few nights ago. Coming out of the supper room, Lady Ellesmere saw two or three girls entering the ball. She and advice When Wilson died he had her suspicions and spoke to left the property in trust for his them, with the result that they ad: six daughters, but numerous sub- mitted they were there without insidiary trusts were created in the ritations.
