THE

Lady Constance Knox, who was married yesterday afternoon (November 7), at St. Peter's, Eaton Square, to Mr. Evelyn Milnes Gaskell, is the eldest daughter of Lord and Lady Ranfurly. She has spent several years (what the Germans call her "Bachfisehe" period) in New Zealand, where her father held such a successful term of government. Although only twenty years of age, she is full of resource in social matters, and when called upon to make her first curtsey to her Sovereign she decided that simplicity should be the keynote of her attire, and the result is still remembered by her many friends. Clad in filmy diaphanous draperies, bordered with a silver embroidery of water-lilies, lilies edging her train, and carrying lilies in her hand, she made a lovely picture. It is interesting to remember that Lord Ranfurly traces his descent from William Penn, and in his youth made a special journey to Philadelphia to behold the statue in that city of his illustrious ancestor. Lord and Lady Ranfurly were both extremely popular in New Zealand, and their departure was deemed a great loss.

The Lord Mayor's Show

PAGEANT

this and other London peculiarities are gradually beginning to inspire some kind of curiosity in the citizen's mind. We feel sure that a little closer acquaintance on the part of Londoners with the personal appearance, habits, views, and general deportment of our aldermen and sheriffs would really be for the general good, and we think that every citizen should have seen the Lord Mayor's Show at least once in his life

time. To assist in this laudable object, we are publishing below photographs of the new Lord Mayor, Alderman Vaughan Morgan, and Sheriffs H. G. Smallman and J. Bowater.

Senorita Guerrerito

Born under the sunny skies of Andalusia, as fascinating, as full of Southern fire, and, above all, as Spanish as her sister Rosario Guerrero (whose Carmen will not soon be forgotten), Enriqueta Guerrerito has, without imitating Guerrero, struck out a line for herself. She does not attempt to act, contenting herself with the higher class of graceful Spanish dancing, in which she excels. Only eighteen years of age, more dainty and slighter than her sister, she made her début in Paris at the age of fifteen with great success, and has also triumphed at St. Petersburg and Moscow. Dressed in a truly wonderful Parisian costume, with a background of her own Spanish musicians playing mandolins and guitars, Guerrerito's gyrations and panther-like grace appeared

The average Londoner's professed ignorance of, and indifference to, the Lord Mayor's Show is going the way of many another old-fashioned conceit. There are growing signs of the increase of interest in the function which takes place on Thurdsay, for which we have to thank our numerous American and Provincial visitors, whose faithful descriptions of

to excite them as much as the audience, judging by their ejaculations, but it is probable that, before leaving the Palace Theatre, she will dance to Mr. Herman Fink's noted band.

Mr. Lawson Wood

Readers of THE BYSTANDER will be interested to learn that Mr. Lawson Wood, whose humorous

drawings have appeared in this journal, will exhibit his work at the Doré Gallery on November 15. The creator of Mr. Biff, and other amusing personalities, will show a collection of some sixty drawings in which humour, though well represented, will divide the field with pathos. The versatility of the artist will Le shown further by a number of sketches of military subjects.

Anarchy in Russia

If the new-born Constitution in Russia survives, it should develop into a sturdy infant. At present the old dis orders seem likely to carry the Constitution off. The news from all parts of the country is as bad as it can be. Pillage and massacre from Kieff, from Marinpol, from Alexandrovo. At Odessa, hundreds of Jews have been dragged from their shops and murdered. In the general gloom, a ray of light shines from the capital, where the meeting of Revolutionaries which was to have been held on Sunday last was postponed. Meanwhile, Count Witte, in Petersburg, is acting foster-mother to the infant Constitution. The word "Hooligan" ("khuligani ") has now been Russianized. It is to be hoped that in the near future they will borrow from us terms of more peaceful purport.

too, has many resources in herself, with her literary and artistic tastes, while her enamel work is quite equal to a professional expert, and almost every charity bazaar is enriched by specimens of her art. Her designs for this work are not only decorative, but exceedingly original-a most beautiful piece of workmanship being the memorial cross for the grave of her gallant brother, Prince Victor; the cross, measuring two feet in length, is wrought in enamels
