brilliantly illuminated; the servants,

in liveries which still smelt of the t;ail-

at a glance the toilet of her guests; she
had tho air of examining each one, to

Herr Adalbert Becher supported his
mother with more tact than she dis-
played: he escorted the elder ladies to
the s;•ats beneath tate life-size portrait

younger ones into the rococo boudoir
of his mother; clapped the gentlemen
on the shoulder, and rubbed his stands

old-fashioned violet silk gown, with a
lace shawl of the same date about tier
meagre shoulders, her cap adorned with
a bunch of pansies, eourtesied on all

with great friendliness, which, never-
theless, had u touch of condescension.
Lira contented herself with a mute yet
gracious bow to the lady of the house.

Frau Becher, in a voice that could bo
