The narqSls bowed respectfully and
went out.
Arrived a. home the marquis dis.
patched . note to his friend Paul, telling
him not to ny another word about or to
the lady in the blue hat without his per.
mission.
Madame Arabella presented her little
pink and white daughter about six years
old, 70 her "profeas0r." Mederic kissed
her forehead; made her recite the first
chapter of the French grammar, and
taught hsr Z few words Of the Flemish
dialect, which they speak in the cities Of
French Fiandsrs. These words, hard as
rocks, raised the "goose lesh'' on the
lady in the blue hat, who assisted at her
danghters FIRST lesson, dressed in neglige
costume, which developed quite luscious.
~ her exquisite beauty. He discovered
she was q sweet q honey, and all who
lived with her positively adored her. At
q quarter to IL she was obliged to dis
miss him, which she did, ~ she did
everything, with charming grace.
At the second lesson Undiscovered that
she had an arm whittier than. snow, and a
neck delicately poised on her breast and
shoulders, and she came and went id his
presence as II he were not a man. He
was intoxicated with pleasure, in spite
of . cloud which obtslred his sky be.
cause she 80 steadily mistook him for a
teacher Of languages.
At the. appointed hour for the third
Lesson, hn pupil had not returned from
her bath. The " professor wa request.
q toWaft. TAelsdy In the bluehat was
singing in the adjoining parlOr, and he
discovered that she had the, voice OF
Patti, and method of Madame Carvalho
and the soul Of Frezzolini. Pretty soon
the little girl came in, the lesson in Ger.
man began and the singing stopped.
Mederic was already fond of his little
pupil, but ust then he could have sent
her away to Peru or even to China. His
bad humor melted her like snow before
the sun the moment her mother entered
the room.
At the fourth lesson the marquis dis.
covered that Madame Arabella was well
acquainted with matters that women are
not in the habit of bothering their head:
with. That Charles X wa not the sou
of Charles TX. The next lesson proved
to him that she had a pretty fair tlncture
of geography in her education. A,
least she knew where the handsome crys
tai dishes that litter up the cupboards
are made-that the manufacturing cor.
porations at Lyons sell handsome sill
dresses, and the "Indian Company y
beautiful laces. He discovered subse
quently that she had the most delicatt
tact, for she asked him if he would like
. part of his pay in advance, since the
pupils were all in the country.
"Ihave the money now,".she hasten
ed to add, AZ he forgot himself and stared
at her like a lout, "and it will be more
convenient for me to give so francs now
than 100 at the end of the month"
He also perceived with great pleasure
that she had . taste for his conversation,
After his " lesson " was done, he sal

ing his little "pupil" on his knee. She
knew that there was such a thing ~ the
Revue DIES Deaux Mondes in existence
She had elegant taste in Jewels; loved
the pictures of the best masters, had q
passionate enthusiasm for whatever was
good, noble and beautiful. All these
discoveries overwhelmed him with plea
sure, because he had the means of graft
flying her most unbounded dreams.
