The weather was perfect, the grounds, which were, next to Iairleigh, were among the most beautiful on that pout, of the Thames, and all the arrange- ments made for that particularly dull form of entertainment were complete. .!'her. was lawn tennis for the energetic, there were little. tents and arbors with seats for the hazy, there were boats there was a band, and there were two marquees for refreshments. Papillon was there. Having instantly 0ccurcd an introduction to the prettiest girl on the ground, and having taken her down his favorite paths and satisfied himself that her conversational merit was not equal to her appearance, he had generously given way to a rival and take) himself off in search of meta: more attractive, carefully avoiding his hostess, lost she should p0111100 upon him ail slake hint to do duty at the side of some elderly young lady whose appear- ance ppearance was not equal to her conversational merit. Charlie was not a useful young man; he utterly declined to bestow his devoted but valueless attentions upon any ladies but those most sought after. Iles. Hodson was there, attracting more attention and even neat admira- tion than the far lovelier mid younger Mrs, Glyn.

She curried a sunshade, the lace on which 10110 worth more than all the loo Doris ever poesessed, mounted upon an ivory handle on which her monogram was earyed among delicate trails of ivy and sprays of lilies. Her husband was not with her; he would come by and by, she said, or his return from the city. "1'e is such a slave to that horrid city," she said, with a pretty frown of petulance,' to firs. Bramwell. And her hostess condoled with her on the fearful fate of laving nt husband who was a shave to the city; but the ni111101(0 near, whose gowns had but, come from Paris, and whose monograms were mot carved on anything, smiled lightly to each other and wondered hoe' the poor man ever found time to come Loam nt 011 When he had shell extI',1 1(1' 1)01101 08 that to support, That a rtouuu of thirty-five or mole,—(v011 these se- vere judges could loot add to'h00 age, she looked so notch younger—should dress like a duchess and tante the atten- tion of the young men away from the girls; their daughters, instead of sub- mitting' to be placed on the shelf, ens ,a scandnloos thing, And what were ht's. ilodson'..1 own daughters doing while their mother wags enjoying -.herself and flirting like a young girl?

Two or three rather officious bunds from am- ong the group on the bank unshipped the rudder 1n giving her the ropes, splashed her dress in helping to push off the boat, and made t lieu• presence felt in .similar ways. She thanked them good-humoredly, but felt glad when the bout (0115 fairly under way and she was out of reach of their zealous hands. CHAPTER \'I. "Beep to the right, if you please, as close under the bank, as you can," said Melton, briefly, to Doris, as he hent sulkily over the sculls. She pulled the light rope obediently, and, as the boat swath smoothly through the water, she was touched with compassion for her ferryman for having to row in such inappropriate dress. She quite forgave 111m for looking so terribly erose, "I amu sorry to hove Waite a martyr of ,you, Mr, Melton. It must be very uncom- fortable to rota' in that costume, and hard w011t, too, against the stream."
