'ers than sighed at the feet Of any other
woman In Washington. Mistress Of n
large fortune, still beautiful. and still
young, she was the idol of the other sex.
But, though she smiled on all, encourag.
ed their advances and returned their pro.
testations. she withheld her hand, and

Of the attention lavishcd upon Anna
Hamilton; they were rivals, and Mrs.
Trevor was too covetous of homage to
share It with one even SO beautiful as
her younger and farcr companion.
Sutherland bowed low on receiving her

true happiness has ever yet existed in the

life with more chccrfulness, and its evils
with greater resignation"

this assembly who is, or rather who

cgotism--1 a,ludc TO Miss Hamilton"
