that among all her domestics Auguste

had been unable to suspect. "Reflect

"I have reflected, madame."
"Droll girl! But tell me; you have a

your own country. Do you desire to

Tho singular smile again crossed the
"Neither lover nor fiance. As for a
return to my country, I am able to as
sure madame that nothing would be less
agreeable." And Albertine closed the
drawer with a, brusqueness so different
from her usual habit that her mistress
wheeled quickly.
"We will speak of it no more," said
she, a trille coldly. "You are free; put
tho bracelets in place again, and ah, it

her husband entered tho room.
"Yes I Suzanne in a bad humor."

"I, too, dearest; but vou see I've prom

The door opened; two cries resounded
simultaneously one from the comtesse
as her husband seized her by the waist
and dragged her to the end of the room;
tle plher from Albertine, grasped by the
strong arms pf two agents of the police,
who had entered at the heels of the am

A young woman made her way to her
seat past all the people in tho orchestra
.-eats of the Lyceum theatre a nierht or
two ago, attracting unusual attention,
because she had left her hat in the ladies'
room. She was young and plump, and
had raven black hair that fell in a clus
ter of tight ringlets over her brow. She
was not particularly good looking. Her
face was too strongly marked and full of
strong character to bo femininely leauti
ful. One of tho habitues of tho theatre
determined to find out yrhafc the other
ladies had said of 'her in' the buzz that
greeted her apjxarance, so between the
acts he asked evei-y man he knew what
tho lady he had with him had said when
she saw the bare headed leader pf that
fashion which, all meii dream of, but
scarcely hope to seo established. These
are the comments ho got:

"Deep in their hearts every woman in
the house envies her her pluck for com

only some swells would do it we would
all be glad to leavo our hats olf."
The utterer of this sentiment, so dia
metrically opposite to all the others, was
a young married woman, the wife of a
music publisher. V. hen tho theatre
goer heard this, he took tho publisher
oer 10 me nocei across tho way and

Ilawthornden, once the habitation of
the poet Drummond, is well wortliy of a
visit. He was the friend of Ben Jonson
and Shakespeare. The former walked
from London to visit Drummond, and
lived for many weeks as his guest at
Ilawthornden. Under the mansion are
some caves, hewn out of tho solid roc If
with grea$ labor, and couiinunicating
with each other by means of long pas
sages. " Doubtless these were used as
places of refuge in troublous times, when
ordinary habitations were unsafe. At a
short distance from Ilawthornden is a
cottage where Sir Waiter Scott spent
some pf the happiest days of his life.

Lord Tennyson Wetlded Bliss.
It has been said that "of all the great
literary figures who have loomed upon
the latter part of the Nineteenth century,
Lord Tennyson has been'tho most " (6i-
tun tte ' in his married life." ' In" 1 83Q he
married Miss Emily Sell wood, tlie daugh

may be positively common, but the fhrure

wisdom cf tight lacing is evidently not
more iierfectly appreciated than its im-
signtiiness, tnoiigi ine relations of hy
giene to beauty are thoroughly under
stood. With this excellence of figure gen
erally goes a corresponding excellence of
carriage; m tms respect the skill with
which tho Loula Quinze heel is circum
vented id beyond praise. And with re
gard to tho tact and taste displayed in
the garb which decorates this figure and
carriage, the world is, I suppose, as well
agreed now as in the time when the em
press set its fashions for it in a more In
exorable way than t.he women of the
present republic can pretend to. ' France
is still, if - not tho only country in the
