 new seasons great successes. It is de-
 scribed as sort of society fairy tale

 English society but who is apparent
 ly irretrievably poor with her horizon

 a genteel living. She, however, main
 tains absolute cheerfulness and hope
 fulness. She is withal fine appearing
 woman, one sure to attract attention
 both for her evident we'll born appear
 ance and style and her modest unpre-
 tentiousness. Luck falls her way when
 Lady Maria Bayne, a distant relative
 who rather likes her, invites her to
 social event at her fine house to serve
 her as a sort of factotum to help make
 the occasions details go properly. Here
 the prince, the great catch of the sea
 son, appears, to be feted and honored.
 And here is where all unexpectedly the
 self effacing, extremely useful, unfail-
 ingly good natured Emily of the story,
 meets her fate in way most eXtraor-
 dinary to her and yet most delightfully."-
 and at a time when hope as to her fu
 ture prospects was growing very dis
 mai. The prince, who is a very veal
 thy marquis of mature years and sound discretion prefers Emily to the brilliant han11tu nf sto to a dashing American beauty who fits in and out of the story.
