Davenport was bard-headed, acute, industrious, did himself great credit, and was now laying the foundations of an extensive practice. Iam afraid Egerton was rather an example of the Idle Apprentice. Languid, ele- gant, handsome, be had not much appreciation of bard work. He dabbled a little in medicine, but only as he dabbled in masic, painting, and private theatricals. But he was a kind-hearted mau, highly intelligent, and of wide, generous eulture, but like the gorgeous lilies, he did not care to toil or spin. And his lucky stars seemed to be very much of the same opinion, for a rather ant relative, in quite a promiscuous way him a fertune of twenty tho asand pounds had now very handsome roo msin South Kensington. where he had as fine a collection o water-colot and the more expensive kinds of photograrhs as could be desired, and seme fine gems.

Itwas at the Opera that it came off: jots of this kind of vhing come off at the Upera. It was at the set of representations which Mapleson gave last autumn.

I started about, like the rest of the people, between the acts, andon my right in the box immediately above me, was one of the loveliest girls that I had ever It so happened that I presently came to her in the crash-room. Her party came tosit at a little table close to the sofa when I was doing Maraschino and soda. 1 as- sure you that to watch the girl move across the Foem was ‘try In itself.

It ought to have been a bit of opera itself instead of a mere affair in the crush-room. She noticed the loss almostas soon as I aid, but nothing can rob me of the consolation that I certainly banded it to her, and received one of the most gracious smiles that I ever beheld in my life. It did for me completely. I went down, bayoneted by a glance.

As Victor Hugo, who seems to know a deal about the subject, says, ‘You are altogether for a time surrendering to a stranger your liberty and your individuality.” To my great satisfac- tion the hansom proceeded in the South-Ken- singtongdirection. It would not have been pleasant to have been landed on the other side of Regent's Park. It passed my very door. ‘Then suddenly we came upon a whole lot of carriages coming or going froma curious old countess’s, who always give parties in the dead seasonotthe year. We must have lost the clue, for my bansom stopped when the brougham stopped, I was brought face to face with a mo jey-faced old gentleman with aknobby nose, who evidently regarded me as a member of the swell mob.” * And you haye never seen her again?” « Never; but ! quite fell in love with the little party at first sight; and if she felt inclined to marry me, that’s very much the sort of thing that I she el inclined to do with her.

In the tirst place there is the physiyuc. Look well at her teeth—a most important matter; good teeth are becoming quite scarce in the market.
