orm SliCi700--A TALE OP MARRIED LIFE
, Ill,
Not long Ufter this the Paris impair
announced that Piul d'Arlay and his
charming 'Young wife had taken a
house in the Elysees, and wer 0,omitig to
spend a few'months there AJ the pri-
vate livers Of great authors ' offer ,an
engrossing•iterest to the Frerich public,
minutely ,acenrite accounts were given
of the Hotel d'Arlay and of P:,aul's rea-
sons for hiring it -it was said that so
Parisian a writer could not languish
away from a eitylwhich is to all other
cities what the, siiiv is to the -planetary
system, and that he was impatient to ex-
hibit to the -world the winsome little wo-
man who had detained hirn 80 long in
exile. ' In the coarse of a few days cards
were issued for Mme. id'Arlity's first "at
home."
Few guessed with what anguish Paul
had drawn himself away from 1 the
'Elms '-I' and if we ser few instead of
:none, itis because Mmes De Marteuil
had maliciously bruited. the "ridiculous
scene" which had taken place at her
house, so that there were eome who
aware that 4 skeleton existed in the great
author's- family cupboard. Paul had
striven hard to undo the evil that had
been wrought • and for several days tried
everything- that patient ingenuity and
tender earnestness oould suggest to bring
back his svife to her discarded beliefs.
But Faith is like a temple : when rained,
it can be •rebuilt, bat not in a week.
Aimee was 'possetsed with a burning de-
sire to go to Paris and see her husband's
plays perfOrmed on the stage, to her
- him applanded, and to feel her heart
ringwith the echo of his praises. Sucke
a wish could not be combated; and Paul
took the only determination possible by _
resolving to bring his wife to Paris, and
. let her tette to her fill of theosensations
: which she Coveted. He hoped that satiety
I would come to her as it had to him, mak-,
1 iiige her lang to renew their peaceful
: country life; and to hasten this end he
1 decided that their baby should remain
1 at St Rice:leder, the air of which was
' healthier for hint than that of the cap-
ital:
Aimee flew to Paris like a bird ure-
' caged. Everything in it was new to
: her, and the people most of all. The
. ' d'Arlay's had a luxurious house, kept a
carriage, a,man cook,. servants in livery,
and all the; appurtenances of a mansion
; where large hospitality is to be exercised.
: Daring the firat week after their arrival,
' not scores but hundreds of cards were
: left at the door, invitations - poured in.
: from ministers, prilices, nobles, from the
the lords of letters and arts, from. every-
body with name or purse; and then'
managers and publishers trooped up to
the authoits dwelling. Since his mar- i
nage Paul had finished a five -act comedy:
and. commenced a novel. Tbe comedy
• was at once accepted by the Theatre
' Francais and put in rehearsal ; the:novel
was predicted in the papers to be the
best he had ever written, (though no re-
porter had obtained a glimpse of it,) and
• the title vir'ai given -Un Marriage d' A-
mour, °lice more that brazen din which
the Most art -enamored public in the
world raises round its favorites resounded
• about Paul d'Arlay, and to Amiee this
din was music. ! .
She was not a:tinted of it, nor of any-
thing else she fended, for, Paul was too
shrewd to think, he could cure any wo.
, man of Patisoniania if he put the slight-
est restraint on her pleasure -seeking, and
his policy was that of confectioners, who!
encourage ' their assistants to surfeit
,
themselves with dainties it starting, in:
l order that they may be forever absteme:
; ions. One day, having scanned :hist:
wife's attire, he remarked that it woull
not do for Paris and took her to the em-
inent M. Worth's.
"Monsieur Worth," he said, "1 have
brought you my wife, and give you awe
blanche.; She Telles on you to be pre-
sentable,"
M. Worth smirked with the air of a
man who SOCS an exquisite picture very
poorly fraMed,
"If Madame will put herself in our:
- hands 1 think we shall be able to do jus -1
toe to her rare beauty,
"That is exactly what she wants,"
• said. Paul pleasantly; " so say you make
her a dozen; dresses to begin with."
"Oh, Pani, a dozen !" exelaimed
Aimee, • with her provincial notions o
economy qtiite startled.
"My dear child, M. Worth will tell
you that a dozen are not too many if
youVre to hold your own againet you
good friends, 1 even questien if they
will be enough." -
From M. Worth's Aimee was taken to
the bonnet 1 maker's', furrier's., lace mak-
• er'n glover'sand finally to the.jewelet's.

had been ledeg at Paul's hankers, two-
thirds melted away at once in prepara-
tions for making Aimee presentable to.

half as comely'as herself. But Paul „dis-
• bursed without counting. , "When she
reflects that we are wasting oar boy's
money, perhaps she will feel x twinge,"
was his calaulation. •
• Aimee, hewever, was in no more mood
for reflection thau ie a person wile drinks
champagne i for the limit time. ' During
• the first month the novelty of her peel
-lion, made her just a little shy and awke
• ward e at the end of the second month
• she wore her fine low dresses with ease,
had learnedto improve . her complexion,
• with potato flour (video. violet • powder),
and had dificovored that nature had not• ,
given her hair oufficient without a °big -
non. At the end of the third. month she
had already marked herself a place M
society; :her drawing room was a resor
for wits; elle could herself launch a re-
partee; and. from week to week • sh
lived the l customary life, of a woman o
the world in all, respects save one
church-goiog. Nothing would persuade
her to attend Siindey mass or any re -Il celebration. ' When she went b
a church she could not help turning away;
her head, reddening, as though she wer

something e rang. . .
It Was -at the end of the third 71100t11
that Pa,ul l'Arlay's new comedy wa
brought out at the Theatre Francais.
There was a general curiosity to not

made any difference in Paiers talent, andf
the house was crannied with celebrities.:
From first to last the piece, was a triumph-
