Growing Eceentricity Of EnsIishwom'

Eccentrlcities.

In an old book published n Paris un-
der the 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 az
ter dinner, with the owner. a Christian
merchant, he said to her that II she
liked the place, he should be glad II
she would stay the night. When she
said that she liked 1t SO much that
she would stay there the rest Of her
days, he took 1t as a polite figure Of
speech; but a fortnight later. as she
still prolonged her visit, he suggested
that Europe might be expecting her
return.
Il do not intend to return" she re-
piled. carelessly.
"Ah, then you intend to build a pal

But ! cannot let It or sell 1t, mi

but intend to keep it, was the start
