HkEEPDENE. July 22-An English

2Y like and in others quite unlike its
American namesake. 1t is apt to be
more formal function. The hour of as
sembling is much the same, about 4 in the
afternoon. The house. if it be modern, as
most houses even in old England are, is

In due course OF time there is an admoni-

scrambles for the house and the muslin

are the rosy English girls who are never
out of temper and who are sure the sun
will soon be out again. They make pretty

people comfortable. And II the shower
becomes storm? Well, there are seven

sky clears and the scent of clover is in the
air, and the box borders in the parterres
are fragrant, and the young women and the
older women do themselves up in fur capes
