If he is married, she is not particularly cordial to his wife,

passages of their early loves, she produces her
children and dilates on the different education they
receive from thou of other people, as Ur husband is so
superior a person, and of each rut attainments, that he
will allow no hitting to approach them. She will also be

widow, whose bereavement has been sufficiently remote
to dispense with weepers, though not with the coquettish
weeds that set off the pretty haft of which As once had
a lock. They are terribly suggestive to the conscience-
stricken winner of her young affections of that period
when, through his ideAes, she became • widow before she
was a wife. Pie minds him of that day when, in •
moment of pique or jealousy, he uttered the memorable
words which aspirated them for ever, and doomed him, a
sullen and disappointed man, to forswear marriage and
devote himself to whist at the club and little dinners in
the Temple or Albany. With whit • subtlety of voice
and manner (especially if they are at table) does she lead
him beck to the old tames " She had heard that he had
naves married, and she was sorry for It., as he must have
led such • lonely life. Even she felt more every day the
loss of her late husband, although—" This aposiopesis
is effective and suggestive. The quarry thus interprets It:
"Although I was always thinking of you, and how fond
we were of each other, and bow happy we might have
been together but for that unhappy misunderstanding."
Or it may be at her pretty house in Mayfair, where she
is " at home" to him only from fourth six, that be finds
himself again being seduced Into the old toils. Sitting
by the cosy tea-table, and performing those mysterious
rites of Congo which confer • grace on the ugliest of
women, he feels the well.remembered fascination stealing
over him. "You see, I've got it still," she says in her
pretty voice; "it" being • faded flower, or ring, or to:fl-
ask or what not, which recalls those early days of love,
which somehow are never forgotten; and the miserable
waverer sits dumb, staring into the midst of the coals.
Of all old loves, decidedly the widow is the most
dangerous.
As for the old maid, poor thing, the does not stand the
slightest chance unless she be of the gashing bouncer
class. She is still entprende in her manner, while ,
preserving the COIIIOII6 of her youth, chastened by the
experiense of • hundred flirtations. She does not care,
for young men nowadays, because she thinks married
men so much more agreeable, and that they present •
greater variety of talents of society. She is very intimate
with all their wives—at least, she lays so, and ought to
be, if the amount of kissing be any criterion of the
amount et affection existing between them. 111-natured
people have asserted that the wife is only the proxy of the
husband; and indeed there is often a shuffling and
embarrassed manner about the latter in her society. She
is never weary of recounting her barren conquests, and,
according to her, everybody used to fall in love with her
at first sight But she knows the game is up with the
elderly Adonis before her, and that whatever he thought
of her once has no affinity, judging from the peculiar
expression of his features, with what he thinks of her
now. She is perhaps the best of the three, though it
makes him shudder to think of what might have been.
But as it never came off, and a feeling of gratitude

Forty years may have elapsed since be pledged to her
those evanescent vows which • frothy glass of
cook's champagne and • maddening wafts of pastry-
cook's
evoked. It may be at the same table in the same hones
that he meets her again after so many year's separation.
The eyes have the former tenderness, heightened by a
little art; her affection has mellowed (as she tells him),
like wine, with years; his memory has always been as
fresh as is the slice of foie grist she is savouring appe-
tisingly as her mind wanders back into the past.
Whether he be a hermit of the Albany or the astounded
of his motherless daughters' performances at
spectator
,he thinks that, under any circumstances, many
disagresables may be wiped away by having a superior
pawn to look after him and his. The 'rslipio loci with
its old associations is too much for him, and he plunges.
After that quiet half•hour at St. George's or St. James's,
and they have driven off amidst the speculations of rude
boys at the vestry-door as to " who those °outdo of old
fools may be," a vivid fancy only can presume to peer
Into their future. Do they mutually agree to let the
"dead past bury its deadr or does the bride of to-day
demand inexplicable explanations of the past? It is a
fearful subject to contemplate. On the whole, perhaps,
old loves, like old graves, had best not be re-opened.—Ths
