' 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. • Of some hundred thousand francs which had been ledeg at Paul's hankers, two- thirds melted away at once in prepara- tions for making Aimee presentable to. bevies of WC113011, not one of which wasi 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 passing a !house whereshe had -done 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 whether nioniage, always 4 hazardou 'experiment • with brain -workers, had: made any difference in Paiers talent, andf the house was crannied with celebrities.: From first to last the piece, was a triumph- ant succese. Never had the author's di alogue been brighter, his characters s boldly drawn, his dramatic situation more telling; and when the curtain fell' on the eloeing act the 'whole audimice rose, enthutiastically acclaiming the man • -whose fame was now placed. forever be- yond dispute. • This scene was too muolt for Aimee's young nerves. She had • watched the performance stage -box with' one of her new friends, the Countess det •"Trema, and when the audience, seeing a t that Paul did not answer their call, together that I.have no time to Ogniied his wife and tamed toward her le " en niane to do her a public homage, s fe I back, white and quivering in eve limb and swooned. .
