Bat Lady Adelaide was a woman tA deter- mination and plnok, and die had loog ago made np her mind that what ^was waatiog in nature dionld bo rapplied by art Without entering fnither intopartionlan. it may be enoogh to mg that her ladyihip's toilet was a very difficnlt and lengthy pro- cess, and ^t one of her jnoet eee onfrial re- qoirements was a perfectly discreet and con- fidential maid. Good aervaats, however are bard to find, and when Brown, who had been iu Lady Adelaide's service for nearly ten years, took it into her head to marry a prosperous yonng public u, Lidy Adelaide was at her wits' end to know how to re- place her. At last, after she had tried a doz- en maids in six months, and was on the verge of despair, a frieml recommended to her notice a certain Miss Prudence Burton, who seemed in every way fitted for the delicate position. Miss Burton was the daughter of a NonoonformiBt clergyman, who had left her practically penniless. She was, according to hf r inteoducer, quick, neat-handed, and clever, and what she wanted in experience she mcnre than made np for in discretion. 'I only hope she will suit," sighed Lady Adelaide's moteer, the coontees of Fixton "its perfectly dreadful to put up with the creatures you have had lately. That wret:h Jones, the other day, made your eye-brows quite different lensitiis, and I'm almost cer- toin Sir Thomas noticed it." Sir Thomas, it may be said, was an Aus- tralian millionaire who had come over to England to look after an aristocrat wife. He was a somewhat vulgar old gentleman, with a taste for jewellery and large-pattern- ed clothes, who talked very loud, and ate and drank somewhat mora than what was good f cr him. But Lady Adelaide could not afford to be particular, and Sir Thomas was at presf nt the idol of her dreams. After a lengthy interview with Lady Ade- laide, Miss Burton was dnly engaged, and she speedily jnstified the good character that ber new mistress had received with her. At first, indeed, it was a little trying to her ladyship's feelings to be obliged to point out the precise use of the various bottles and pots which were kept carefully locked np in a cupboard in her bedroom, but the new maid accepted every revelation with such a delightful matter-of-fact air that the task soon became a positive pleasure. "Poor thing," sighed Lady Adelaide sym- pathetically, "a little knowledge of this sort may be very useful to her some day. Her face might be made positively good-looking though heaven forbid that she should think so, and try to get married iike Biovn 1" Miss Barton never forgot anything she had once been told, and she Epeedily became an adept in the mysterious art ot making up ber mistress. Her ta^te in dress was, more- over, surprisingly coirect and such was the BQcceas of her efforts that people began to remark that in a subdued light, tempered by rose- colored hmp-globes, Lady Adelaide Dccasionalty looked quite yonng and pretty. When Miss Burton tad occupied her sit- uation about a month the object of Lady Adelaide's ambition va? accomplished. Sir Thomas Jenkins was so overcome by the combined effects, of the Fixton champagne, an unusual successful toilet, and the sentmient- al influences engendered in the conseivat- ory of the Fixton mansion, that he made an offer of his hand and heart to Laiy Adelaide, and, after a proper '4mount of maidenly hes- itation on ner part, was accepted. The course of true love promised, in their case, to run exceedingly smooth, and for a week or two all was harmoay in the mansioa in Grasvenor square. Sir Thomas Jenkins was quite as attentive as a gentleman of his age and habits could reasonably be expected to be, and hia presents were numeroas and costly. L%dy Adelaide's looks and temper both improved under the softening influencs and Mifis Burton found her situation much less diiagreeable than it had been. One day, however, when Lady Adelaide returned from a drive in the park she found her mother crying in a subdued and ladylike fashion over an open telegram. "Gosd gracious, mamma dear, what is the matter " cried Ltdy Adelaide. "Any- one dead " "No, my dear bat poor, dear Algernon â€" read this,' answered the oonntess. Lady Adelaide took the telegram and raad "From the deacon of Christ church to the connteas of Fxton I regret tt inform yon that Lord Algernon Montrover is serionsly ill with typhoid fever," "What are we to do " cried Lidy Ade- laide. "How nnfortnnate 1" "Do? why start for Oxford at once, of course," said the connteas. "We can't leave the poor boy to be looked after by aconta, and bedmaktrs, and anch like horrible peo- ple." "I suppose we must go," said her daugh- ter, "but it is really very inconvenient. Algy always had a knack of doing every- thing at the wrong time. I don't quite see why I need accompany you though. Manmia, do you " "Adelaide " said the oonntess, with much dignity, "I am really surprised at yonr want of feeling. Of course you must come too." "But what is to become of poor Sir Thom as " sighed Lady Adelaide, with an effort to look sentimaitsl, "Sir Thomas is not exactly a boy," an awered Lady Fixton, aomewhat spitefnlly "and I suppose he can take care of himself. Yon can't poasibly stay here alone and yonr sisters are all ao abominably aelfish that I don't believe eithw of them wonld come down to dbmpetaa yon.

Mweover, Lily Adelaide deteated hotola, and waa bored to death by the few umver- â- ity perEonagea who oaUad upon her mother. She called the place itself abommably dreary, and dedarod that it was impoaaible to buy the slightest article at any of the shops m fact, she divided her time between writing lettera to Sir Thomas and in thinking of aU sorts of odda and enda which were abaolntely easentiid to her oomforta, and which most be proonred on the ahorteat notice from some London tradeaman. Many of these axfaolea were things that could not be properly de- scribed in a letter, and ao it came about that Miss Barton, who was the only person ahe could trnat in such delicate matters, was frtqaentiy despatched to London in quest of a pair of gloves of a particular shade, a scent of some complicated natnre, or an entirely new and nneqaalled toilet requisite.. Mus Burton lather liked 'these expeditions, for her days at Oxford, owing to Lady Fix- ton's depression and Lady Adelaides bad temper, were the reverse of cheerful. On mostf-of her trips she was intrusted with an afft'ctionate note for Sir Thomas, which she wa) strictiy enjoined to deliver into his own hands. It therefore became necessary for her t3 call frequently at Sir Thomas' club or chambers, and wait for an answer to the dainty missive. One day Miss Burtou was sent to London with quite a sheaf of notes t deliver. Lady Adelaide had been somewhat more bored than nsaal, and had written to corietmakera dressmakers, perfumers, and jewellers or- dering indiscriminately all sorts of myster- ious articles. Miss Burton also had the us- ual note for Sir Thomas, and happening in the midst of her commissions to pass through Pall Mall, she stopped her hansom at bis club to deliver it. Five minutes after the note had been handed to the hall porter Sir Thomas rushed out in a remarkable state of excitement. "What on earth is that you have given me " he cried, regardless of appearances. "I don't understand you, sir," said Mies Barton. "Why, look at this " continued the agit- ated knight. "It's an order for a palpitat- ingâ€" palpitating what " he screamed. "D:ar me 1" said Miss Burton. "I'm afraid there must be a mistake â€" your letter must have been put into the wrong envel- ope." And opening the rest of her undelivered notes, she speedily found the missive which had been intended for Sir Thomas. This is yours. Sir Thomas," she siaid, hand- ing it to him. Bnt the worthy knight was still absorbed in the coatemplation oi the paper in his hand. "And she wears a " he muttered slowly. and be turned on his heel and walked ba^ int the club. Mies Burton did not wait for an answer, hue drove off to finish her commissioas; bursting into .uncontrollable laughter as soon as her cab had gone a safe distance from the club. Naturally enough, she did not dare to tell Lady Adelaide of this exceedingly untoward incident, and was obliged to ac- count for Sir Thomas' remisEness in not an- swering his lady-love's note by saying that he was out of town for the day. Lady Ade- laide was much annoyed trifles had a sing- ular potent effect in rufflicg her, so a day or t« o later she was again despatehed to Lin- den, pi ovided as usual with the inevitable biiiet-doux. This time Sir Thomas was not at his club, so, as she had strict orders not to return without an answer. Mis Barton went round to his chambers on Jermyn street. She gave the note to the portsr and wait- for an answer in the hall. "S|r Thomas will oe glad if you will walk up stairs, miss," said the man reap- pearing. Miss Barton obeyed, and was shown int) a well. furnished room, where Sir Thomassat at a writing table, twirling Lkly Adelaide's note around his fingers. "Sit down, my dear," said the knight in a fatherly manner. "I want to apeak to you." He pauaed a moment and then reaumed "Lwly Adelaide seema rather a high-apiiited yonog lady, eh?" Miss Barton did not feel at all well to- ward her mistress, who, two days before, had so far forgotten herself as to box her ears, so she replied "Well, she u rather. Sir Thomaa." •â- Ezaotly ao leads you the very duoe and all of a life, I anppose f aaid Sir Thomaa, familiarly. "She has been a littie put out at not hear- ing from you this laat day or two," replied the lady's maid, demurelv. "Oh, indeed 1" said the knight, with a distinct approach to a wink. "She's very fond of me, yon think " "Very," answered Miss Barton with a scarcely perceptible smile. "Yon'dlike me to answer this note, would- n't vou ?•• "Yes, I certainly should," replied the lady's mud. "Very well I will I should be sorry to get yoa into any more scrapss.*' And Sir Tbomaa Ecdfableid a brief answer and handed it to hu taix visitor. ' Gsod-bye my dear," said Sir Thcnnas, staring very liard at her, and extending a substantial fist. Miss Barton was soaaowhat embamMsed by the nnnsnal honor, but she took the pn^- fcrad hand and was rewarded by a tqaeeze wfaioh vearly elieiWl a aaream.

So Lady Adelaide wrote an nnusoal joy- ful and afeotionato note to her future bus- band, bidding him meet her at her brother- in-law's honse, near Epsom on the appoint- ed day, while her mothm sent word to her married daughter that she and Lady Ade- laide wonld stay the night with her, in ful- filment of a long standing promiao. St Thomas answered at once that he would be delighted to obey his betrothed's, orders^ and Lady Sophia intimated that she and her husband wonld be glad to see Lady Fixton and Lady Adelaide as suggested. Lady Adelaide felt that after so long an absence she must do her best to make a favorable impression upon her future lord and the choice of a suitable costame for tue eventful day caused her much anxious delib- eration, and the long-suffering Min Barton many extremely bad quarters of an hour. That young lady, thoaght somewhat pre- occupied and absent in her manner, seemed, however, perfeotiy satisfied with her lot and even lady Adelaide was forced to confess that it was almost impossible to roffle her singularly equable temper. Bnt as the day of the Derby approached. Miss Burton showed unmistakable signs of anxiety and nervousness, which somewhat surprised her mistress. Early on the morning they were going to leave Oxford, Miss Barton appeared with a very long face, "The gloves, my lady, don't match your dress by at least two shades." "Goodness me how provoking " said her mistress. "What an old idiot that must.be There's nothing for it but for you to go di- rect to London and get some more, and then join us at my sister's." "Very well, my lady," said Miss Barton meekly. So the maid departed, and Lady Adelaide wai left to superintend the arraDgemects for leaving Oxford with very inexperienced as- sistance. It was nearly dinner-time when Lady Fix- ton and her daughter arrived at Lady Sj- pbia's and Lady Adelaide at once retured to ner bedroom and aent for Mias Barton. To her great aatonishment and disgust, how- ever, she heard that the young person had not yet put in an appearance. Lady Ade- laide waa perfectly furious. Strange maids ahe alwaya found to be clumay and atapid, and ahe atrongly objected to revealing the aecreta of her dressing room to more people than she could help. There was, however, one consolatioaâ€" the party was small, and Sir Thomas was not expected until the tol- lowing morning. So she arrayed herself as best she could and went down to dinner, onacious of looking by no meana her best, and in an extremely bad temper. The evening passed and morning came, but still no Miss Barton, and not a word from Sir Thomas. Lady Sophia's villa wai about three or four miles from the conrsa, andher husband's drag had^been requisition- ed to convey the party thither. The hour for starting approached, and Lady Adelaide's feelings can only be imagined, not described. Everything went wrong with her exasper- ating strings gave way in unexpected places, glove-buttons came off, and shoe-laces broke at the most critical moment. The coontesj came into her daughter's room to hastan her movementa. "My dear, you really most come. Sir Thomas will be sure to meet us on the coarse and everybody is waiting." "Bother Sir Thomaa and everybody elsel" said Lady Adelaide, on the verge of hysterica. "Oh, that wretohed Barton I I bel eve I could atrangle her 1" Bat invectivea were naeleaa. and Lady Adelaide was obliged to finish draaaing as beat ahe coald, and to follow her motiier down ataira. "Jump up, Adelaide 1" growled her brother»u-law "we ahall miaa the firat race as it is." She mounted the drag with no little dif- ficulty, and at length they started. Her ladyship felt cross, miserable, and bored to the last dwrse. The Darby did not interest her in the least, except aa a meana of ahow- mg off he, attra^tiont to the beat advantage, and aa neither Mias Barton had appearedto adomhernor Sir Tnomaa "to a^ire her, she felt she would have been much bettor at borne. They arrived on the course at last, and the men grumbled deeply at being so late, espeoially as they were obliged to put "P,^*? • ^^" inferior position at the end ot the line of drags.
