mad intrigued two years unsuccessfully
and which she achieved on the occasion
I of her sons being Obliged to the king OF
regiment in the Dutch service. She
would not let him go to kiss hands
until they sent for her too. Then,
again, We find her at Richmond, at a
hrework fete amongst the whole court
OF st. Germain's and all the Fitzes upon
earth" in ga forlorn trim, in white
apron and hood, which it was her

.Pother day, " Mr.: Walpole goes on
to inform his correspondent, 'tshe drove
post to Lady Sophia Thomas, of Par
sons Green, and told her that she was
come to tell her something of impor-
couple of heehteaks, clap them together
as II they were for a dumping, and eat
them with pepper and salt; it's the best
thing you ever tasted; I could not helm
coming to tell you this;' and away abe
drove back to town. Don't a course OF

LADY MARY woRTLEY MONTAGUE.

my Lady iWalpole, ,scolds my Lady Pom
fret and is laughed at by the whole
| town. Her dress, her avarice and her
1mpudenoe must amaze any one that
never heard her name, She wears a
foul mob, that does not cover her greasy
black locks that hang loose, never
combed or cnrled; an old mazarfne blue
wrapper, that gapes open and discovers
a canvass pettlc0at. Her face swelled
/ violently onone side, and partly cover
ed with white paint which, for cheap
ness, she has bought SO coarse, that YOU
would not use it to wash chimney -
Not a tempting picture of the bdS 6Leu
of the period.
MADAM Du DEFF4ND's DOG.

terrified; she fell into tears. Madame

the worthy antiquary remarks: 'tI con-
