bueeyed, she was still handsome although scar on
her lip the result Of fall from her horse, was

hight and rather stout. Four daughters-the eldest
fourteen, the youngest an infant-were the sur

cility and their mothers system Of education.
Mrs. Thrae was strolling in the paddock, no doubt
with her fayorte dog Presto at her side, tina, warm
bright August day. Let us try, IT we cannot precise
y paint her at least 10 dress her, 10 our mnc eye,
in the costume Of the period. She was expecting
shy and iimd guest, and, are very sure, did not
intend TO awe the stranger by an excess OF hnery;
bnt in the mode undoubtedly she was, and the mode
OF that day comprised ample draperies, h:heeled
shoes and the hair raised up ike pyramid and

Hardly has the grest bell ceased ringing when Mrs
Thrale is herself at the gaze with ready welcome
for the father and daughter who are her visitors Dr.
thourh Mrs Thrae had certainly seen his daughter
Fam, twice before it il probable she had never adj
dressed one whom she had perhaps considered mere
commonplace unobtrusive young lady Mrs. Ihrale
was accustomed TO the company of wits, sod to be
made much Of by them; and there is no doubt
she was little supercilious in what she considered
ordinary society. Thus on the two occasions, 10 be
referred to hereafter which she had, with some
state and ceremony, visited at Dr. BuIney house,
he does Dot seem to have noticed Fanny NJ all. But
Fanny BuInev remembered her, aud had already
chroncled in her private Journal some OF the great
ladys sayings and doiGgsi 30 that the meeting has
not on both sides, the character Of first presenta

Emmy Burney was the author of Evelina novel
which lust then all London reading and talking
about Mrs. Thrale was an enthusiastic admrer OF
the work; she ted every one she met OF i's humor
and pathos and that Il vas free from those bIenshes
of styla and treatment which belonged 10 nearly al

people. She had persuaded DIR. johnson to read 1t;
and he had thanked her warmly for the pleasure the

amused 10 remember that she had recommended 1t 10

knows that Evelina has led to Mrs. Thrales invita-
tiop and has been the password to the exclusive
circle she ia about to enter The present ordeal is

The sketch of Mrs. Ware is written with great
feeling and truthfulness, and pays a wel-deserved
tribute TO the modest worth Of excellent country
woman. In preparing her memoir Of Margaret Full
ler the authoress has drawn upon the biography by
Emerson and his friends for the Incidents but has
related them in her own choice language, and with
an exquisite appreciation Of the noble and richly
doved nature Of one Of "the most memorable OF
American women The following description Of an
interview between tke writer and Margaret Fuller
will be read with interest:
After the Scottish tour Margaret Fuller spent few
weeks in London and, though the autumn season
was an unfavorable time she bad the good fortune to
find MANY of the people she most desired TO know in
