Lady Charlotte acted upon her friends
advice, and wrote a gracious little note
to Miss boilers, in which Lady Charlotte
Craddock presented her compliments to
Miss boilers, etc, and begged that Miss
boilers would be SO kind as to call upon
her to discuss the election work of the
habitation to which they both belonged.
Miss Letitia boilers swallowed the bait
willingly, and not unconsciously. IT
guess am going to be the boom Of the
season, and Lady Charlotte likes to be ia
the front, she thought, as she dispatched
a reply.
Lady Charlotte gushed very sweetly
and with high bred gentleness; Letitia
boilers gushed with Yankee brusquerie,
and they parted friends
When Lady Charlotte accepted her
annual invitation from Lord Addlepayte
tospend Ascot week at Addlepayte Villa,
near Ascot Heath. she asked if she
might bring her young friend, Miss Dol
lers, favor which was willingly granted,
and Lady Charlotte was able to present
herself to Mr.. Crump armed with the
honorable and noble lords letter. Mr..
Crump undertook to send Lady Charlotte
a couple of dresses: chef d'osuvre for
the first and third day and for the Cup
day conception in mushroom color
which should make all other well dressed
women green with envy.
Letitia boilers was sufficiently delight
ed at the receipt of her invitation to be
very anaenable to all Lady Charlotte's
plans, and at her suggestion drove to
Bond street in her ladyships dainty vic
toria, the maintenance of which was
marvel to the few who suspected the real
state of her exchequer. After long and
solemn consultation with Mr. Crump,
Jr., whose taste was said to be the
guiding star Of the firm, Miss boilers
gave an order for costumes for the Ascot
week on so lavish d scale that Lady Char
lotte felt quite sure of dresses on her own
account for the rest of the season
Miss boilers was residing at the Metro
pole hotel, and was very anxious to make
Lady Charlotte known to a compatriot
staying in the same hotel, Mr.. Josiah
Washington Potts, quondam pork ex-
porter in the far west, now millionaire
gentleman, doing Europe, and bent ON
the purchase of o country seat in Eng
land, old furniture, pedigree, aristo-
cratic wife, and, If possible, a baronet-
age, OF the likelihood Of his obtaining
this last he was sometimes doubtful, Of
the others absolutely sure.
A small banquet was inaugurated in
the Americans dining room on the
ground floor of the Metropole. at
which Lady Charlotte consented to be
present, and also consented TO send out
invitations to o few of her own friends,
as Mr.. Josiah Washington Potts was not
richly lowered with acquaintance in
London and was anxious to get into the
very best society the corner lot, !" he
called it, As this was convenient man
ner of paying debts in the shape of din
ners owing to people whom she did not
much care about, Lady Charlotte was
able to gather together dozen or so
wealthy, well dressed people. Not her
best friends, not the creme de la creme,
but few of those people who Frustrated
themselves at her feet in their endeavor
to secure at their parties the presence
of fashionable beauty, who was known
to have been admired by FL. r. Fl,
Lady Charlotte and the friends came
and Toasted at the Americans expense,
fiattered him upon the elegance Of the
dinner and looked askance at Letitia
Dollers-that American thing in whom
they saw SO little to admire, and whose
portraits they were sick of seeing in all
theNVest End shops. All agreed in Won
dering why Lady Charlotte had taken
her up, and some even declared
that they knew as fact that Miss
boilers had paid her a large sum
down to introduce her to his friends.
None guessed the truth. There are
wheels within wheels in the best so-
ciety.
Letitia boilers was a great success az
Ascot, and Lady Charlotte was fam 70
rejoice over her arrangement with M,
Crump. Her own mushroom colored
gown was described in all the papers.

attraction of the beauty whom the know
