CHAPTER X.

Even the maddest. merriest Of rev.
elers must grow weary.
The Christmas merrymakers tagged,
the gay music dragged a little slowly;
here and there a tired child-guest
yawned in a corner. then nodded, and
finally was carried away in a deep
sleep.
Outside, under the stars, a long line
OF carriages waited, and the hostess.
with tired eyes, wondered why people
did not go.
II had been a fatiguing day for
Lady Jane and for Leila. who had not
spared herself in helping, She and
Lady Jane, side by side, ran the CANT
let OF the interminable good-byes from
exhausted but delighted guests.
The Christmas gathering had been
the greatest success the county had
known for years, and Lady Jane was
excited by the batteries and thanks
OF the departing guests.
where's your wife, dear? She
ought to have been here TO see the
guests off,"
Lady Jane laid her hand on her sons
arm. She was. In her tired state, ready
to be cross even with the heiress.

Didn't l get enough?"
Alice exerted herself feverishly to
get the twenty-four r~eeeptacles ar
ranged on a table before Toms arrival.
and when Tom came he didn't for q
minute understand his reception. Then
his eye fell on the tableful Of distorted
shapes and he slowly added his quota
to the general contribution. while his
father gave an impromptu lecture on
haste VS.. waste. The Hopkins family
have concluded to give match boxes
for Christmas presents this year.
