The rest Of Us 20 schooner. Our social set
at Cloonarragh is small and the tone OF II is
not, confess, congenal to me. The Sulli-
vans, for instance, have several times SIAN
sitred my wife grossly to the Gouldings. As
amatterof public duty, not by way Of reprisal,
Ihave told the Gouldings the facts about Mrs.
Sullivans aunt, unpleasant facts. ] dislike

subscribe to one sixpenny and one four
penny magazine. Unfortunately nobody
seconds my efforts. Jefferson takes in half
.senny London paper, mainly, feel s'ire, for
the sake Of the sporting news. Mrs. Sullivan
gets, second hand, lady's paper. Mr..
Goulding, the rector, has friend who sends
him on temperance magazine. Thus the
general level Of culture, outside Of my family,
IS not high.
We are not fast people, far from it; but we
haze tennis club which is open in summer,
and during the winter months the young
people play hockey. Lord Amesbury, who
is an earl, comes over 10 Cloonarragh every
summer FOR d couple Of months and invites
us all 60 luncheon, once each. We all say
that thrse luncheon parties are bore; but
we 90 te them and wear our best clothes Ii
has always surprised me that Lord Amesbury
!! and The Countess should ask the Suliyans,
the Gouldings and the Jeffersons TO lunch
In my opinion civil call and cup Of after
npon tea would be as much as any of these
families has right to expect. Poor old
Jefferson is anything but presentable in
society and neither the Sullivans nor the

does. understand that everybody else,
that is TO say everybody else in society," was
greatly disappointed at missing the annual
luncheon. II became the custom to speak OF
the summer before us as likely to be dull, and
there is no doubt that, although the solitary
invitation to luncheon was all we any Of us
had to expect, life would be more monoto-
nous in August and September when we had
not Lady Amesbury's clothes to discuss or the
manners Of Lady Julia and Lady Peggy to
abuse.
As a matter of fact the summer turned out
to be the most exciting we ever had in Gloon
arragh. Hard on the news Of the Amesburys'
going abroad came rumor that Melton
House had been taken by Mr. D'Alembert-
Melton House has been unoccupied for years.
1t is sort of dover house Of the Amesbury
family, and know that the earl has always
wished to find tenant for it. 1t is furnished
and would not, imagine, be difficult to let
if there were fishing or shooting connected
with it. As there is neither one nor the other
it has hitherto been found impossible to
get any one to take it. We discussed Mr..
DAlembert a good deal during the months

Mrs. Sullivan is right stock broker may
be gentleman, but there is nothing in the
nature OF his profession TO show that he is.
In June Mr.. D'Alembert arrived. 1t be-
came obvious at once that we must all call on
him. He brought with him man-servant, a
cook and a housemaid He also had a
motor car a remarkably fine motor car,
painted bright red. We found out almost
at once that the car was only hired by the
month; but even to hire car of this kind
