there came to her the memory of
Bertie's handsome eager face, telling
its own tale of love and devotion.
The fair and lovely young bride
created a marvellous sensation. As
Miss Hutton, simple beautiful girl.
shy and retiring, she had been greatly
admired; as Lady Bayneham,
wealthy heiress, welded to one of
the noblest peers in England, she was
irresistible. She had lost that half
tmid expression that had amused the
habitues of the great world. Lady
Hilda was as sweet and gracious in
her manner as she had ever been, but
there was with it a quiet easy dignity
that suited her we'll Barbara pri-
vately believed that in the solitude OF
the Swiss mountains Claud had given
his wife some lessons in worldly
training. Whatever had effected the
change, it was for the better; even
Lady Bayneham, proud and difficult to
please, was charmed by the graceful
ease and sIeet dignity of her SOM
wife.
She has not Barbara's thorough
bred, patrician manner, said that
lady to herself; but it might have
been worse
The tide of popularity rose strongly
in Lady nIlda's favor. Had not her
every thought been absorbed in her
husband, her little head must have
been turned by the homage and
hattery offered to her; for no house in
London was so popular as Lord Bay
neham's. His wife's lovely face and
superb voice, Barbara's keen INTEL
ect and Erigh' wit and Lady Bayne-
MANS serene and charming manner
were all sources of attraction. Thus
the time passed rapidly, like a dream
of Fairyland.
, "Claud," said Barbara one morning
: as she stood by her cousins side
, watching Hilda carefully arranging

what are you going to do now-sit
down and rest?"

hopeful smile, II have done no work

He looked so handsome and so tri.
umphant as he spoke, that Miss Earle
gazed at him half in wonder, half in
admiration.
There he said. with light laugh,
my career is disposed Of what about
yours, Barbara? No destiny is fair
or bright enough for you?"

beautiful and charming every day"
Frank. fearless Barbara. above all
little mean jealousy or envy, was far
more proud than Hilda herself of the
admiration she excited.

with us to Bayneham, said Claud
"HAlda would be sure to feel nervous

Barbara's face flushed deeply, she
hardly knew why.
Continue your list" she said
hastily.
