do this, the sole by-product being too

Pretty Little Bride Who Married Into

a Life of Misery.
\ sad story of n century and a half
ago is that of young Lady Dorothy
Boyle, the daughter of Lord Burlington.
Her married life of six months was an
unbroken period of misery, and her ell.
gagement had been equally tragic. 1t
foretold what was to come.
She WAS very beautiful, and had n
wonderful good sense and gentleness OF
temper, together with the large fortune
which might have placated even an EN-
tirely selfish sutton. Yet even during
their engagement Lord Euston lost no
opportunity of showing his contempt
for her. In public lie treated her in a
sighting and even insolent manner.
AT ball one night lie looked at her
rather peculiarly during supper, and
then said:
Lady Dorothy. how greedily you eat!
It's no wonder you are SO fat"
The girl blushed and tears came to
her eyes, but her mother answered for
her:
IT Is true, my lord. that she is fat,
and hope she will always be so; for It
Is her constitution. and she will never
be lean until she is less happy than we
have always tried to make her, which
shall endeavor TO prevent her being"
But Lady Dorothy married her boor.

taehed to the portrait painted from
memory after her death:
Lady Dorothy Boyle. Born May the
14th, 1924. She was the comfort and

who knew her angelick temper, and the
admiration of all who saw her beauty.
