cavalier blood, that is responsible for
most of the daring and the romance of
New England stories, and good deal OF
the latter underlies the decorous surface
Of New England TO-DAY, especially among
the old families. It is the romance Of
self-will and rivalry-there is little love
romance left in the world. One dark
eyed, old-scloo! lady know, had q fond
ness for man who Yves in debt to her
own brother some thousands of dollars,
borrowed on his note of hand. After
the brothers funeral, while the rest were
at the grave, she hunted up the note
among tho dead mans papers, tore of
the signature, and defied family in
dignation with the cool remark: 'I'here
was no use making fuss about it." I

side in summer, passed. herself as q Wild
uncle, actually married young second
husband out of Boston family, and
lived within fifty miles of her old home
for two years before the trick was found
out. Then the hussy contrived to make
the Grst husband mortgage his property
and give her half he was worth before
he VAS done with her. She had some

gay young married woman, wife of a
stock-broker, one of the new people;

family threatened to put her letters in

with the financial ability Of his wife, and
both move in the gayeM ofgay society.
The world is wide, and, as one lady Of
irreproachable notions said, ''ifyou shut
sinners out Of society you don't always
