loved her in rethrn very dearly; but
when I explain that I was a wife and the
‘mother of young children. and that she

stood that our devotion to each other
' , must of necesssity be rather one sided.
and this fact caused some dispeace be-
,ween us at times. ..
, , For many years my friend held apost
‘st‘Dourt, which she resigned soon after
she began to know me; and although her
Royal Mistress. in lier gracious kind-

gave them both up to be free to live near
me in B—;indeed, she gave up rela-
tives, old servants and comforts in or—
derto be near me (and die, alas!) in
lodp'ngs, over a shop, near me. But
she was not happy. She gloemed over
the inevitable fact that, in consequence
of the difierence in her home circum-
stances and mine, I could not be with
her every day, and all day long. I think
she was naturally of an unhappy dispo-
sition, being deeply. passionately, and
nnjustifiahly jealous, and also painfully
incapable of taking things and people as
they were. ‘
All this gave me often much annoy,
once; but we were, all the some, some-
times very cheerful and happy together.

Later on, she, poor soul. was taken

death.
They were most trivulilies-little epi-
whom we had talked and laughed to-
gether. for she was gifted with a keen
sense of the ridiculous.
Among other things she said to me
one afternoon:
“This bazaar for which we. are work-
ing," (she had been helping me for a
good many weeks for a charity bazaar.

and say she buys it for 'poor Miss L—Js

I remember repeating. wmideringly.
