* * S. * The death of Lady Guendolen Cecil,

the wife of Mr. Algernon Cecil, lends a poignant significance to the dedication of Mr. Cecil's Metternich, published early last month. The book is inscribed "To My Wife : From a Reviving Tory to a Surviving Whig." In less than three weeks after the volume's appearance she had ceased to survive.
