Richard of York had not forgotten, and
was not likely to forget, that the blood OF the
glorious Edward III. ran in his veins, nor had
he condoned the grievous wrong which had
been done to his branch of the royal house,
when Henry Tvs son so cody took possess

the throne, though silent through long years,
were not dead but sleeping. Margaret knew
this only too well. Her keen eye read accur.
ately through the thin veneering of court
forms, the undying hatred OF this man to her
self and to her race and while she loaded
him with honors and empty emoluments, she
was very careful that no atom of real, definite
power should pass into his hands. On the
other hand, Richard recognized in her VIII

behold the life or death of one of the parties

any necessity for such an action. Henry's
feeble life alone interviewed between Richard
and the throne; with his fleeing breath melt
ed away the royal dignity and influence of his
naughty, gifted wife; her sceptre would then
become his rlghtful heritage.
With fearless rashness Margaret flung down
the gauntlet of defiance at Richards feet 10y

Lady.

The lady does not lose caste because she makes her own clothes, and is ob-
 hged to economize. A 'lady" is a wom- an who clearly understands and consist
 ently practices the refnements of a high ly civilized existence, and the most real
 distinction between lady and a woman who is not lady, is that one is more civilized than the other, and more de- termined to preserve the habits of a high civilization, both in her own per son and in all those over whom she has authority. These habits are not simply habits of expense; it is cheaper to re- main sober than to get tipsy, and yet is more lady-like to be sober. It does not cost more money to speak good English than bad, or to be gentle than rude; yet a lady from preference, speaks correctly and has gentle manners. It so happens by the force of circumstances that there are more ladies in the upper classes than in the lower and that there is a severe public opinion in the upper classes about most things which, taken together, constitute civilization, because it is a fault in rich people who have great facil- ities, not to be clean, and cultivated, and polite, when it may only be misfor- tune in poor ones. There is, then, really such a thing as ladyhood, and it is one of the strongest. of civilizing influences
