bers of her troupe the rest of the passengers
contented themselves by pretending to be
unable to discover that she is transcendent-
ly lovely. 1t was q pleasing fiction with
gentlemen on board who had wives, sweet
hearts, nieces, or sisters with them, to
maintain that they were far more beautiful
than Mrs. Langtry. Those among the gen
tlemen who were alone were forced to con-
tent themselves with the assertion that
twelve ladies each more lovely than Mrs.
Langtry could be discovered any day in the
streets of their native town without the
least difficulty. The young ladies on board
were also convinced that their charms far
exceeded those of Mrs. Langtry. and smiled
most sweetly on the young man who could
convey his concurrence in this belief in the
most ingenious manner.

Springfield was one of the pleasantest ones

Judge that the Lily will smile on Spring
