MARRIED AND PARTED.

81 wonder why she never married.
She is a beautiful woman still. What
must she have been when she was
young? That chestnut hair OF hers is
more than tinged with gray, but the
blue eyes are still bright and beautiful,
and that pretty color OF hers still
comes and goes like girls. And how
well she dresses! There is poetry and
grace in every movement. If / didn't
know she was IN actress Ishould take
her for some great lady; she walks
like one, she talks like one and she
looks like one"
"And you wouldn't be so very far
out Nibbs, after all"
Thus old Sir John Protocol X. C..
B., formerly OF the diplomatic service,
to Nibbs, the hack writer. Both OF
them were elderly men; they had been
schoolfellows, and Nibbs had married
Sir John sister when that gentleman
was boy at Eaton and, being
brothers-in-law and having known
each other all their lives, strange to
say, they were still friends and GRO
MES.
ooh" said Mr.. Nibbs, "she's WON
an with history, them" and the old
mans eyes began to sparkle till he
looked like a dissipated vulture.
'You'll haveto tell the story, Jack,
my boy. You couldn't have better
place to tell it in than this" said Mr..
Nibbs, with smile at the ceiling OF the
smoking-room OF the Scarcophagus
club.
"Well, if you want it, said Sir John,
81 suppose you must have it. 1t
was in 1855 that first saw her
the year after the prince imperial was
born, and Napoleon was at the zenith
of his power. We all went to the Ode
on from patriotic motives, for there
was an English debutante who was
about to make her first appearance,
and Pugsley, the chancellor, had told
us that she was desperately good look
ing. Her name was Sylvia Seton then
and she's Sylvia Seton now. It's a
wonderful thing, isn't it, Nibbs, that
she amt married. And then Sir
John concluded: owed none OF us
seen her. When / say we Imean the
fellows at the embassy, from the sec
ond secretary down to me, and was
junior unpaid attache at the time,
"She came into the chancellerie, said
Pugsley, herself, and she left a dozen
programmes OF her debut with me
That slip OF girl said Pugsley, walk,
ed into the office as though she
were a queen. And so she was he
added, in the matter OF beauty.
And then he began to rave about hel
eyes and her hair and her little pout
ing lips that were ruddier than the
cherry, and the two little dimples that
came into her cheeks when she smiled
And she is as good as gold, you
know said Pugsley, for she wor'
darned gloves, and when a girl wears
darned gloves you may swear tina
she's as good as gold"
1--WE all went to the 0deon. partl,
from patriotic motives, because Syl
via Seton was an English girl, bu
principally on account OF the en-
thusiasm of Pugsley, who was judg
of beauty, and we were all amateur
OF that article in those days" san
Sir John Protocol with a sigh 9
can't for the life OF me remember tn
piece" he continued, "but it wa
something, pastoral, poetical an
pretty; the debutante was charming
sir-she was q dream OF loveliness

fish girl scored in the great, gloom
house that they called the secon
