Miss Philips, but ran out of the door,

go in body to Mr.. Lawton and de-
mand that these people be ordered to
leave the hotel. We have stood
enough, and he can no longer expect
virtuous ladies like ourselves to sleep
under the same roof with a woman of
that character" When Mrs. Latimer
delivered this speech she looked like
an old picture of Gen Washington that
we used to have in our History of the
Revoluti on"
We went, we lassoed Mr.. Lawton;
we related our story of offended dig
nifty with heads up in the air, and de.
manded that these people be ordered
from the house. Of course he was OBJ
stinate, said that they paid better than
| anyone else, that he could not afford
to lose them, thought there must be
some mistake, etc; but when Mrs.
Stanley, Mrs. Latimer, Mrs Burke,
Mrs Floyd Brown, Miss Philips and l
| assured him we would leave in body,
he realized what a loss six families
would be, and consented to obey. He
walked slowly and reluctantly to the
Arlington apartments, while we fol-
| lowed to hear the result Heavens.
what peals of laughter came from that
room in short time after Lawton,
trembling with fear, entered. Peal
after peal from Mrs. Arlington, and
actually a big ''Ha! ha! hal from
Clairmont, who had never been
caught indulging in anything but
smile. Then the laughter subsidized,
and the tones that represented Mrs
Arlington's and Clairmont's voices
| seemed to be full of wrath and indig-
nation, while Lawton's apologies arose
loud and humble above everything
else. At last he came out, and / never
shall forget his glance as he exclaimed:
Ladies, you have made an egregious
error and put me in an embarrassing
position this day, and the harm have
done cannot easily be smoothed over
You have deceived yourselves; allowed
your over-prudent natures to misin-
terpret very innocent thing. Mr..
Clairmont is Mrs. Arlington's brother
She has been abroad for three years,
and he has not seen her in all that
time until just few days before they
came up here. Now you can compre-
bend his devotion" And he went down
the staircase, leaving us standing in
the hall, rockingham you imagine how?
That evening Miss Philips received a
letter from her uncle, Rev. Vaudeville
Philips, which ran:
BOSTON, Mass.
MY DEAR MARGARET; l hear that Mrs
! Egbert Arlington is spending some time at
Beachport, and wish you to call as speedily
as possible, as it will be to your advantage to
know her when you come to Boston. She was
Miss Clairmont, of New York, and comes from
the best and has married into one OF the best,

brilliant social leader, but l can commend
her as one Of the noblest, truest- hearted worn-
