It haa been announced In aeWal of tbc boat-read aociety papers that Sir Archibald and l^idy Crowley would entertain a house party on Saturday, the Otb. till the following Thursday at Crowley hall. Berkshire. Anions the guests would be Lord and Lady de Rigger, the bishop of Barleyshlr*. Mlae Harbeton of the Poplars. Hampttoad, and other distinguished people. Mlss Harbeton liked th&e pdragraphs. She had been undistinguished all her life until six months ago. when she had gained celebrity by Inheriting a largo fortune and a Quantity of famously valuable Jewelry from an uncle. But she was of an aspiring turn of mind, and when she heard from her friend.

The little platform, was very much crowded and as he walked along In search of an empty first class carriage Miss Harbeton soon lost sight of him.
