Invited to Ducal Wedding.
Recently when the Duke of Norfolk was married the ceremony had a pleasant commemoration in London.
Some time ago a lady who is a near kinswoman of the duke organized two restaurants at which the great surrounding population of shop girls can obtain a luncheon at cost price and free service at the hands of a bevy of ladies. On the duke's wedding day the clients of the restaurant came in their hundreds, but the accustomed clink of coins—the music to which these maidens march forth refreshed to complete the day's business—was silenced by the simple announcement made to them:
"The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk beg you to be of the number of their wedding guests."
