her advice as to the best means Of disposing
Of her troublesome self.
When alone with her father Beatrice always
behaved prettily. She was very fond of him,
although the remembrance of the tears, the
text, the distracted VOWS, when contrasted
with his second marriage for nothing but
good looks, made her look upon him with a
little contempt. She did not know that man
Is so gregarious q creature that it is not meet
for him to live alone. She heard his remarks
in silence, then gave him her opinion on the
matter.
81 don't want to be nuisance to you,
papa. I am eighteen now-too old to go back
to school. It's nonsense, Of course, to say
should like to earn my own living, because
when come of age shall have some money.
May go and live at Fairholne?"
Fairholme was Sir Maingay's seldom-used
seat in one of the southern counties.
"But you can't live there alone, he said.

"My dear girl, why not be reasonable and

had by this time found out that she needed
something more than mere good looks to go
down, or go up, in the society her heart longed
for. She had, therefore, made up her mind to
become Travelled woman, and had arranged
that Sir Maingay should take her to variety
Of foreign countries. The proposed tour was
to be an affair of years, and her ladyship had
a dim idea of writing, or of getting some one

pathways she meant to tread. She hoped to
take the world by storm as literary woman.
81 can't go abroad with you,' said Beatrice.
81 shall be miserable myself and make YOU

'sBut if you stay in England you must be
presented and come out and all that sort Of

''If ever do get married." said Beatrice
drily, 81 will be presented as Lady Clauson

Sir Maingay's cheek Redeemed. He was
much hurt by the sarcasm. Poor old King

child but the sharpness of a sarcastic Child

worthy baronet was at his wits end. What

Mr.. Talbert, of Lakewood House, was con

men without homes or wives. Sir Maingay
was willing enough that Beatrice should re-

At last he remembered an aunt of his own
who lived in quiet retirement in one of the
suburbs of London. It was Of course absurd
for Beatrice to think of living at Fairholme,
in a half-closed house with housekeeper and
one or two servants. So twas arranged that
her great-aunt should take her while Sir
Maingay and Lady Clauson were on the Con
