THE CONQUEST OF
MRS. VIVIAN.
THE BRIsT. re garden party was
BY CHARLES KEhnETT sURRow.

nothing could convince me that Mrs.
Vivian had ever been slight, and my
Imagination was not strong enough
even TO suggest that she had ever been
irresponsible.
There were not more than half
dozen people whom l knew, and OF
them not more than two whom ! cared
to talk TO- Most OF the men seemed
TO have got together in the middle OF
the tennis lawn, the ladies were Ian
gushing In the shade Of the beeches;
only one or two couples seemed TO be
engaged in occupation for which, sure
ly, garden parties alone were invented.
Mrs. Bristowe, my hostess, seemed very
much depressed.
"Why don't things move faster, Mr..
MildmayY" she asked, plaintively.
"Why don't those wretched men do
something?"
my dear lady" said, "they never
do at these affairs. / don't know why
II is; perhaps there's too much daylight
for them"
"But one must give garden parties"
Ehe said.
