We were a large family, principally girls. all gresentalgle except n_1y eldest sister, Meztil: 33.; she had no looks to speak about, but she made it up by a superabundanoe of brainsâ€"she was the fannly head-piece, a sortof plateau to be relied upon on all state occasions. She certainly was a’remarkable woman; her one idea was to push one‘s self forward in life-an English adaptation of “ Aide toi, le o_iel t’aidera." How angry she was when I married Charley! She was in Gibraltar settling my brother Edmund in his appointment, and I was Mrs. Redcar before she came back. Charley was a captain with good prospects of getting on. but Matilda made him sell out and put his money into a new company ‘ started to provide Venice with tram care; after this we came up town, because Mat ilda said that with my beauty and Charley's connections London was the place for us. We were sure to push our way; but curi- ously enough we didn’t. Charley’s con- nectionsbelonged to the Pl mouth brothers and sisters. and my good ooks were quite thrown away on people who wore poke bonnets. There was one old man, a grand- 1_1ncle of _Charley. who had lived in the 110?! l BECAME THE FASHION. A year or so passed very quietly,and then Matilda came up to see how we were get- ting on. She was very indignant when she found that we had made no way, and scolded us|roundly for on_r snpineness. Be enoy do ya. and said I was the una ge of Do 1y Bloomfield, wh_oever she gnight be. “ I have no patience with Either of you." she said. “ With Beauty's looks and Red- car's connection you ought to be at the very top of the tree." And then we explained to her about theml’lygnouth bgethren. “But there's Charley’s godfather'a wife; she has nothing to say to trade or meeting- houses, because I see her parties every other week in the Morning Post," said my sister. with a look which meant: " You can't impose on me ; if Beauty were only seen there ehe’d soon push her way.'_’ Charley looked at me and I looked at Charley. and then we both burst out laugh- ing. It was a mortifying confession, but the truth was we had been at Charley’s wife’s godmother'sâ€"no, I mean Charley’s godfather's wifeâ€"more than once, and nothing had come of " being seen there ” but the bills we had to pay for the dress I wor_e angl the _carriage. _ Matilda looked very glnm when we told her this. “ I don’t see what you are laugh- ing at." she said crossly. “No one but a 1001 would find amusement in their own failure.” This was very severe, but Ma- tilda was awfully put out. and in the evening' when Charley had gone to the “ Bag ” to 11%;: his smoke. she spoke very seriously to L _ said. “ I shouldn‘t be at all wry-(rived if those Venetian tram shares don't come to much. The people there are so silly, they prefer the gondolas. and if they go down where will yoq be ?"__ 77 " Good gracious! Matilda. I thought you recommended them, and said they would double our income.’ “ And haven't they done so, you silly thing ?

" " I ‘2" Why y, what in the world can I do ?" " Make yourself the fashion 1" said my sister oracularly._ The next day Matilda, Charley and I went to see the pictures at the R. A. It’s along way from Iverness terrace to Picca- dilly, particularly on a hot day, so we went in an omnibus, but Matilda thinks it’s a disgrace to be seen in one. She has a ro- vincial idea that every one knows er. She sits far back with her veil drawn in a tight little ball over her nose. which makes her ever so much more remarkable. This day in particular she was in a great fright and was very indignant with Charley and me. who were laughing at the faces she made. 7 When she got out she said: “ To think that our Beauty should be brought down to sit with washerwomen in an omnibus I" Charley flushed up. He' 8 the most good. humored fellow in the world. but he doesn't like Matilda. " She should drive in scowh with six horses, if I could give itto her," he said; “ but she knew I was a poor man when she took me. ” “ And liked you all the better." cried I sily, reszed his arm afiectionstely ut yMatill a. only snorted.

I soon got tired, so I sat down near the fassage leading to the refreshment-room. always think the lunch is about the best I alw‘iye think the lunch is about the best thing at pictures. But they seemed never to be coming. For sometime I amused myself looking at the people; they were a. shifting mass of face and dresses, and I was greatly diverted. B mud-by I began to observe that the crow when they came to a certain picture stood there. forming a. regular line, as they did for Ming Thomp- son. It was awfully hot. and I had taken off my veil and pushed up my hat. for my forehead was burning. Suddenly I noticed that a great many people turned their backs upon the picture, and looked at me. and then faced round again to the canvas wall. In my character of Beauty 1 have been all my ife pretty well accustomed to the sort of homage conveyed by what is must have been an undue amount of it which attracted my attention; but surely I had never seen any like this.

I became very anxious to see the picture which attracted such attention. but the block round it was too great. The next best thing was to ask for information.

I elt extremely uncomfortable. I looked about anxious y for Charley and Matilda. but there was no sign of either. Then I did a very foolish thing; I got up to go and look for them, principally to escape from the numberless eyes fixed upon me.

He didn't want it for the rest of the afternoon, it I liked to drive. He was so pressing that I really couldn't re- fuse to go to Iverness terrace in it, sl- though I hardly expected the wonderful footmsn to know where it was. I declare when I found myself in the car. riage quite alone I rubbed my eyes and pinched my fingers. I could hardly help thinking that I had fallen asleep and had dreamt all this. but just as I was pinching myself hard I saw Charley and Matilda standing on the pavement in Piccadilly, looking ver hot and uncomfortable. I put my he out of the window and called to‘ the grand coachmen to stop. . _ The man looked at me very wickedly,but I didn’t. care.

I wee so taint with excitement and hunger.| We all made up our minds that it was or mistake of some kind. We went carefully through the catalogue. but there was noth- ing there. Charley proposed running into Mrs. Smithers at No 10 (she sets up to be artistic . but Matilde said noâ€"not on any ‘ecooun the thing was to keep our own counsel. Matilda was all for our going to the duchess'. She said it didn’t matter, mistake or no mistake. She had asked me to her house in my own proper person and under my own _proper_netne. and thege was no in:- siticn or forcing myself in on my side. gharley said the same, and added that at all events it would be funâ€"so we went. Charley burst out laughing in the carriage â€"â€"he said his godfather's wife would get a fit when she heard that we had been to Cranberry house. But I think he got ner- vous when we were actually inside. I know ‘ I felt ready to sink into the earth when we walked up to the grand staircase through lines of powdered footm_e_n. lt seemed to me so utterl absurd. The first rson I saw was Lor Snap ington near t e door. He seemed like an o d friend; and present- ly Colonel Beaulieu joined us. He seemed to know Charley very well. although Char- ley says they haven't done more than nod these ten vears ; but he was very friendly, and asked us to drive down on his coach to the Orleans next day. I was very pleas- ed, tor Charley had been wishing to go and â€"so had I. 1 After a time little Winton came up in a rest fuss and said the duohess was asking or me and that I was to go into the boudoir. I didn’t, of course, know where that was, but Lord Snappington gave me his arm and said he would take me there. As we walked along, I heard a great many people whispering together: “ There she is, on Lord Snappington’s arm.” I was dying to know what it all meant and I would have asked Lord Snappington then and there‘ only that Matilda’s last words had been: “ Mind you ask no questions. Just take everythmg as it comes." Still I think I would have said something. but just then we got into the boudoir, and there was the same lady I had seen in the morning, only looking much rander and with the most lovely diamon s on her head. She had about twenty other ladies and gentlemen with her, and she was talking to a person- age whom I recognized at once and my kneesknocked together with fright._ “ Oh I here is fire. Redcar 1"" cried the duchess; “ now we have her we shall be ull_1:ight."> _ Th3 certain Person put a glass in his eye and looked at me: “ Fond of swinging, Mrs. Redcar?" much in the manner Charley would have said it. And then every one began to lung h. I laughed, tooI although I_ had _no ijeag why. “vDo 'you {swing flinch ?" the Parsonage went on, still surveying me through the glaisg egrpgstly. I hadn't swung since I was a. child, and I thought it a. very odd question, but be- fore I had time to answer, the duchess struck in. “ My swinging party comes off on the 20th, and I have given directions to have u. rose-colored swing put up for Mrs. Redcar." There was a. general chorus of agprobw tion. and I really began to tbipk I ad got among a. set of lunatice. Just then some music began in the next room, and there was a move toward it. The certain Person lingered_ a. moment} __ “Duchess! I shall certainly come to your swinging party on the 20th for the pleasure of seeing Mrs. Redcar in the rose- colored swing.” He smiled pleasantly at me as he sfoke, did this great man and strolled lez' y out of the boudoir. -_A. a . When he was gone every one crowded around me. I’m sure I made twenty ac- quaintances and had twenty invitations in as _n_1_a.n_y minutes._ All the rest of the evening was one whirl of pleasure. Charley enjoyed it quite as much as I did, and we both agreed that after all good company is nicer than and quite as cheap as an other. Inpthe midqle of_ t e night Qharley awoke me bfi another loud fit of laughter. “I can’t elp it, Beauty,” he said. "but I can't get over godfather's wife when she hears of our being on easy terms with the best in the land." 7 It was most surprising. There was cer- tai_nly no doubting phat point. ,.... The next morning fire had just done breakfast when, to our surprise, Charley’s godfather’s wife drove n . Matilda bad. Just time to give us afiwor of caution when she came in, all laces and ribbons, bangles and chainsâ€"so unlike the duchess. She made straight at. me. “ My dear." she said, and kissed me on both cheeks ; “ how sly‘of yo_u l ” and then she kissed rne again. Just: then there came another knock at the door, and one of Charley’s uncles (a. very great manufacturer, with works at the east end) was announced. He was a. good man, and I liked him, but his face was ex- tra long this morning. He took Charley and me aside. copy of the Whitehall Review into my hang, poinjziqgfio‘ this paragre‘lph: .. . AI, “ I arm glad to tell my readers that the charming original of Monsieur Henri Masse's famous picture of ‘Love in a swing’ is among us. She is not a French- woman, but English born and bredâ€"Mrs. Redcar, wife of Captain Charles Redcar, late of the 10th regiment; and we may well be proud of our lovely countrywoman. This puts an end to the countless stories which have been floating about since the picture appeared. It is to the Duchess of Cranberry (Monsieur Masse's old friend) that we owe this addition to the ranks of the Beauties. Mrs. Redcar appears under the ducheee’ wing. She made her debut at the Cranberry House soiree last night, and was hugely admired.” _ .â€"., _..°-_, V So much for the truth of report. After all, then, there was no harm in it, and al- though at first I didn’t like sailing under false colors, still Matilda persuaded me it wouldbe foolish to make a fuss; I had only to hold my tongue and let the fash- ionable world and the fashionable newapa- rs tell as many lies as they pleased. I id so. I became the fashion. After the duchess’ swinging party on the 20th of June, 1879, my position was assured. No one canbe more fashionable than I am.
