frequent visits to the exhibition grounds
attended by retinue of servants, and
who was frequently discovered in con-

long before her beauty and her brilliancy
of mind made her in demand in
the fashionable drawingroOms. She
met the Prince of Wales and treated
him with supercilious disdain that SIM
ply paralyzed the ancient danes, who
had been praying for presentation for
twenty. years, while it pleased the
prince immensely. The addlepate who
was paying for all the consequent gor-

was looked upon with envy by his
whole set, and was deeply commiserated

nectlon with the crime was the fact that
she had been frequently seen in the
company OF Pix. She escaped punish
ment. During the ensuing SIX months
she was the boon companion of coterie
OF clever French rOgues, and in the
early part of 1879 she made a bold at
tempt to blackmail a wealthy Chi
