which was instructive, edifying

was not neglected.
Subjects of grave Important

were earnestly discussed, and
much valuable thought and in

partaken of.

are bearing rich fruit, and the

A personal friend" of Prof. Theo-
dore Mommsen, the German historian
and scientist, who celebrated his 80th
birthday on Nov. 30 last, in writing OF
him in the London Telegraph, says that
until quite lately he was up at 5 o'clock
to work on a cup of cold coffee put
ready for him over night. In his per-
sonal requirements he is the most mod
est of men, and by no means a house
tyrant; at he comes down to break
fast with his wife and five daughters
still at home, and he likes everybody
to be there. One young lady who was
staying in the house was not infro-
lect did not escape his notice. Its a

many a story of his absent mindedness,
and he has even been crdited with not
having recognized his own little son.
and with having asked him his name
preparatory to requesting him not to
make quite so much noise in a public
tramcar in which he was going to town
from his home in Charlottenburg; and
1t is authentic that he put his first
baby into the waste paper basket one
day and covered it up because 1t cried.

But he had heard quite enough of the
topic-his wife's face did not interest
him. He looked at her with some
curiosity after Lady Courtenay had

impressed with her growing beauty.

a desperate effort to rouse herself.

Amice was all animation. she
brought out a beautiful dinner-dress,
a dress that looked like soft black
cloud tinged with golden light.

aven. Surely l am dark enough,
Amice? Lord Caraven likes every
thing about him bright and fair; l

mean to please him"
you promised, my lady, that l
should dress you as / liked to-day"
1T does not matter" she said, indlt-
ferently; and so the amber and black
was worn.
Nothing could have suited her better.
The low dinner-dress showed the ex-
quisitely nodded neck and shoulders,
the rounded arms; it displayed the
beautiful contour of a figure tall ana
graceful. The mass of dark waving
hair was arranged in thick shining
coils fastened with a diamond arrow;
one dark crimson flower lay in their
depths. A pearl necklace was clasped
round the graceful throat, bracelet
round one of the dimpled arms.
Amice's pride was great; there might
be a thousand ladies present-none
could be so beautiful as hers.
Lady Courtenay looked up in wonder
as her lovely young hostess entered
the drawing-room. She turned to the
earl, with whom she was most init
mate-they had played together when
children.
"How falsely people speak, she
said. II heard that you had married
great heiress, but that she was quite
a plain little schoolgirl. l must con-

until they reached the rustic garden

her seat unasked by his side.

warm and sunny. Lord Caraven had
invited some friends to dinner; as they
lived at some little distance, and they
could not remain for the night, din
ner was ordered earlier than usual.
1t was only twilight when the guests
drove away, and Lord Caraven, having
no one to play billiards with him,

rooms, thinking to himself how fool

interesting of all games.
