s which is . quite true, inasmuch, ad Mrs..
• O'LearY has a alearly defined 'intentibn in
her mind that the Aneesleye shall, pay all
• the bill whioh may, be incurred in the
course of their three, months' joint house-
• keeping in London.
"Take care what you're about with,that
woman, Marian," Robert Annesley says,
.wheu his. wife tells him that. Mrs..Q'Leary
. has -gone actoss with "the intention of
taking a furnished home • for the season,
which they a,r ato share with her."
"Take care what you are abont with
that wonitin ; -she'll run you into ruinous
expenses before you know where you are.
Besides, I doubt her; she's riot sufficiently
well authenticated for. me to wish to see
you mixed up with her." ' -
"You only say that because she has
found outthat Ronald Maeskiver and that
horrid Miss Thynne are playing a double
game with your sister," Marian says,
tartly. -.
"1 say it because I honestly believe that
Mrs. O'Leary is not a good companion for
yon."
• "Well, you're too late, Robert, I've
• authorized her to take a house that we hen
occupy with her froth May till the end of
July. I am not going back from my bar-

" We could go ,over and find the house
and settle them in it without.Mrs. O'Lea,

Marian almost weepingly defends her ally,
and avows that it is essential to her social
• well-being for the eeasen that she adheree
to the alliance. o.
So it comes to pase that. the'party.at
Darragh is broken up less' pleasantly than,
it was in the original programme. Miss
Thynne goes back to London first, to Berne

the Marallionese of Portbank if the pleases,

"It's a shame 'to me. that I shoufd have

has set her heart•on going into theanicIdock
and being eeen loyereyalty in a coatuune

O'Leary aske Suddenly, and Doily says'

THE On•OPEPATIVE HOUSEHoLp.
• -
The co-operative household has,existed,
for a fortnight, and already each one of the
Anteeleys is heartily tired of the arrange-
ment. • But Marian keeps her own counsel
still, and makes no, outward fsign of the sore'
disappointment under which ishe is smart-
ing, with reepeat to the brilliant sottiety
into -Which she expected to be introduced
by Mrs. O'Leary.. Robert, on the other• .
hand, speaks openly -to his wife and sister'
of his dissatisfaction with the way in ,
which the . scheme is beiog. workedout ;
and Dolly, though she says, very- little,
suffers' more than enough on account of her
foreed interoonrse with is woman of whom
ehe is mere than doubtful.
They have had is good deal of gayety 'of a
certain kind. Mrs. O'Leary is pother an
adept in the art of heeping the ball rolling,
and during this past fortnight, as private
invitations have not beenforthcoming, she
has contrived to keep up a constant supply
of opera and theatre engagements. --
It is very different to what Mrs: Atones-
_l_ey has kieen led' to expect, and though she
utters no Word of ,doniplaint, her brow is
often elouded, and her spirit greatly vexed.
•The morning stroll in the Row, the drive in
the Victoria (which she shares. with Mrs..
O'Leary) after luncheon, and the theatre or
opera in the evening,stre not the joye which
she panted to taste when Mrs. O'Leary first
proposed that they should come to town
together.
That gay\ andoareless dare evideotly
givesniitnought of her breach of contract.
She drives, dresses,. dines, and shops as -if
theseewete /the sole objects to her lite in
London. She gooa out quite independently
of those who are dwelling in the tent with
her, and offers no amount of herself to'
them vshen she comes back. She fre-
quently monopolizes the Viotoria for the
whole morning Without any considetaties
