If` Claire had ever doubted the oonsider- ation that wealth secures she would have been quite converted on the even- ing of the party. Leaning on Mr. Bartlett'S arm, and morally sopported by his presence, her , embarrassment soon disappeared. • Every One was charmed to see her ! People Who had met her as Mrs. Lorimer with a su- percilious bow now came forw d with itr outstretohed hands and faneinating smiles to welcome Mr. Bartlet 's grand- child, Fortimately, deaa e perience heel taught her the value of thie flatter- ing homage, and, althougher bril- 1, Haut color and sparkling eye might have suggested pleased vanity, Mr. Bartlett read them aright. "You are laughing at ua," he whis- pered as they moved through the crowded rooms, he being determined that 0184re should not only see but be seen. "You cothader this 'all humbug,' as Sir John lieseY3sseuld say." , "And is it not? 1f restored to my old position by a fairy's wand I should be the inost insignificant person here. • It must be glorious to conquer respect by the exercise' of mental gifts or great virtues; but who cares for the adula- tion that depends on something apart from one's personality?" "Don't underrate yourself, Claire. Shall I leave you a few moments with Mrs. Walker? I just caught a glimpse of an old friend ?" "Very well; I can stay here until yon come." t She sat down near what seemed a ourtained window, and was eurprised to hear voices orr the other side of the heavy drapery. "My dear Mrs, Lorimer, w ere is your. husband?" asked Mrs. Waiker, taking possession of her. "I w ut him to lead the german.

'You mast excuse me ; I never dance." Well, they are nearly ready. I mist find Mr. Lorimer 1" @lairs looked around in dismay. To • meet him under so many keen eyes was impossible. The german was forming near her, and from another room Mrs. Walker was coming, leaoing on Barry's arro. There seemed to be no escape until she suddenly thought of the re - ss, and, drawing the curtain, gladly r- f found herself in a pretty conservatory, I bright with the soft of shaded lamps and furnished with rustic seats.

"Yon and Mr. Lorimer have met?' "Oh ! yes, frequently," he said bowing distantly. Neither offered his- hand. Claire looked at Barry, too indignant to speak. "Mr. Bartlett was obliged to go home, and be asked me to take his place for the evening." "Is he lll ?" "Yes, but nothing worse than nail He wishes youtostay and enjoy yo soy as long as you please."
