TOOK POSSESSION OF HOUSE
Growing Eccentrieity of Englishwom
ans Life, That Was Filled With
Eccentricities.

In an old book published IN Paris un
der tho title of lie Journal dun Voy.
age au Levant," there is an amusing
account of the way In which Lady
Hester Lucy Stanhope, the eccentric
English traveller, took possession OF
the house at Djoun, where eventually
she made her permanent home.
She was pleased with the house and
its surrounding gardens, and accepted
an invitation to dinner. AS she sat at.
ter dinner, with the owner, Christian
merchant, he said to her that If she
liked the place, he should be glad II
she would stay the night. When she
said that she liked it so much that
she would stay there the rest Of her
days, he took it as polite figure OF
speech; but fortnight later, as she
still prolonged her visit, he suggested
that Europe might be expecting her
return.

piled, carelessly.

In this dilemma the merchant dis
patched messenger posthaste to
Emir Beshyr, who sent word to Lady
Hester that she must give up the
house. Lady Hester, however, wrote
to Constantinople, whence courier
came to the emir. bearing the order,
obey the princess of Europe in ev-
erything."
So the Disguised merchant fed, leav-
ing her ladyship a possession. There
for 20 years she lived the life OF a
recluse, growing more and more with
drawn from the world, and more &C
customed to dwell in a mental and
spiritual realm of her own creation.
until she died, and was buried In the
garden of the house that she had
usurped.
