Byno means said Miss Cleveland, who
seemed to be elected sp0izes weman by gen

that we should have house OF our own in
town. hope our withdrawal will not spoil
your plans.
My friends clearly did not intend giving
me the benefit of their superior station on
my first introduction into the world, which
they had been SO eager to offer when on me
it depended whether they should taste the
pleasures of that world or not. | felt

1.-THE fact is" said Lady Catherine, deci-
sively, ''that just as | was going to write a
note to your fatEer, telling him that shrank
from the responsibility of having to take
care of another young lady besides my
daughters received a letter from our family
solicitor informing me of the death of an old
uncle of mine, who has left US a very hand

comforting obligations, but now they wanted
me no longer. | felt no embarrassment
now before the titled lady who could utter
such ignoble sentiments with respect to heI

from utteriug the mean reproach. When

last look, as l thought, of the interior Of Ea
glesbourne.
'Dont cry Kate" my father said fondlJ
to me when had finished the recital of my
disappointments (the not going to London
was far from being the keenest.) "Don'
cry my dear Katie" he continued, as thu
Indignant tears rose to my eyes and fel
over my cheek 'you shall go up to town
and must go out with you myself. Mis-
Dalrymple will shine enough without need

''but confess, Katie, am disappointed a

say, Katie but surely you are not going
to hate the memory of Arthur Mainwaring
