What marvel, then, that he should make her

guilty of so revolting ti fault; but she wont-

Her bre:ikf.ist dress has already been dc

any thing else occurred to induce her to de-
iiy berselfto visitors, she generally greeted
her husband's eye in the some loose and
l flowing robes at dinner, as well as tea. Her
ltotal ignorance of every thing like method
was visible throughout all her domestic or-
rangements. Instead of directing her ser-

it much easier to scold when It thing was ill
