It was at one time arranged that Dante Gabrie) Rossetti, his brother William and Swinburne and George Meredith, should lve together in a certain house. Meredith happened to see Dante Gabriel Rossetti at breakfast and changed his plans, Meredith himself tells the story: “It was yast noon,’ he says, ‘“Ros- seitl had not yet riaen, though it was an exquisite day, On the breakfast table, on a huge dish, rested five thick slabs of bacon, upon which five rigid eggs had slowly bled to death. Pree- ently Rossett! appeared in his dressing gown, with slippers down at heel, and devoured the dalnty ropast like an ogre.” That meal wag too much for Meredith—and he aacrificed ‘three months’ rent rather than see it re- repeated.

Then Dutchess County had the Legislature pass another bill prohibiting New York from Now Westchester County has a bill to prevent New York getting water there and to repeal the existing laws under which New York, at enormous price, has been buying Westchester farms and streams.
