MAJ VIM 80 provided Tor except that
We shall both have to look III upon
Mrs. Juzzle braggin here now and then
to sees that she doesn't everyday the
game and get sick herself, and make
sure that they don't get her vaccine
ton mark away from her.. And, ma,
you'll have to come OF on the yacht
once or twice, just to give it tone
$. It appeared that Percival had been
right in supposing that Mrs. Drelmer
might be led to regard. Psyche's pro-
posal ina light entirely rational. She
was reluctant, at first, it is true. Il.
IT'S awfully dear of you to ask me,
child, but really, I'm afraid it will be
quite impossible. Oh!-for reasons
which you, of course, with your end
less bank account, cannot at all COM
prehend. You see we old New York
families have a secure position here
by right of birth; and even when we
are forced to practice little economies
in dress and household management it
doesn't count against us-so long as
we stay here. Now, Newport is diff
ferent. One cannot economize grace
fully there-not even one of us. There
are quiet and very decent places for
those of us that must. But at Newport
one must not fall behind in display. A
sense Of. loyalty to the others, a no.
blesse oblige, compels one to be as
lavish as those f1amboyant outsiders
who 90 there. One doesn't want them
to report, you know that such and
such families of our smart set are fall
ing behind for lack of means. So,
while we OF the real stock are chummy
enough here, where there are only us
in a position to observe ourselves,
there is sort of tacit agreement that
only those shall go to Newport who
are able to keep up the pace. One
need not, for one season or so, be a
cottager; but, for example, in the mat
ter of dress, one must be sinfully Law
ish. Really. child, could spend three
months in the Engadine for the price
of one decent month at Newport; the
parasols, gloves, fans. shoes, frillies
enough to stock the Rue de la Paix,
to say nothing of gowns-but why do
I run on? Here am I with a few SIM
pie summer things, fit enough indeed
for the quiet place We shall reach for
July and August, but absolutely i'm
possible for Newport-so say no more
about it, dear. You're a sweet-but it's
madness to think of it,
And had" reported Psyche to her
mother that night. '.such time get
ting her to agree. At first she wouldn't
listen at all. Then, after I'd just fair
ly begged her, she admitted she might
because she's taken such a fancy to
me and hates to leave me-but she
was sensitive about what people might
say. l told her they'd never have a
chance to say a word; and she was
anxious Perez should know, because
she says he's so cynical about New
York people since that Milbrey girl
made such a set for him; and at last
she called me dear and consented,
though she'd been looking forward to
a quiet summer Tomorrow early we
start out for the shops
So it came that the three members
Of the Bines family pursued during the
their respective careers of di-
version under conditions most salts
factory to each.
The steam yacht Viluca. chartered
by Percival. was put into commission
early in June. Her first cruise of ten
days was signal triumph. His eight
guests were the men with whom he
had played poker so tirelessly during
the winter. Perhaps the most illumin-
ating log of that cruise may be found
in the reply of one of them whom Per-
ciyal invited for another early in July.
Much obliged, old man, but l haven't
touched drop now in over three
weeks My doctor says must let it
be for at least two months. and I mean
to stick by him. Awfully kind of you,
