Mr.. Disraeli when Mr.. Disraeh was
passing his Reform bill, were doubtless
yerv good in their way; but they were
not big enough to fill her heart: She
tried to make herself happy with Gener-
al Peel, but General Peel was, after all,
no more than q shade to her. But the
nntruth of others never made her un-
true. and she still talked of the excel
lence of George Ill, and the glories of
the subsequent reign. She had bust of
Lord Eldon, before which she was &C
customed to stand with hands closed,

which was hardly true; and now, In
these later days, her hatred was es-
pecially developed in reference to the
head-dresses of young women. "Chig-

been heard to pronounce. She would
talk of "those bandboxes which the shuts
wear behind their noddles;" for Miss
Stanbury allowed herself the use OF
much strong language. She was very
puuctilious in all her habits, breakfast
