I was particularly anxious that Mrs. Dixon should accept that Henley invitation, so I said. gently, "It was a regrettable affair and it has led to most uncharitable remarks, but after all sho was the daughter of a bishop, and martied to a baronet, and altogether a woman of singularly blameless life."
"Who on earth are you talking about ?" said Mrs. Dixon.
"Why, the lady who was the innocent cause of the ill-natured rumour about hair dye on houseboats, I explained.".

THERAPION
This succesful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rostan, Jobert, Velpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind, and surpasses everything hitherto employed.
THERAPION No. 1, in a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, effectually superseding injections, the use of which does irreparable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious dis eases. In dysentery, piles, irritation of the lowes bowel, cough, bronchitis, asthma, and. some of the more trying complaints of this kind, it will be found astonishingly efficacious,
remedies have been powerless.`

"I acknowledge that the story was most un- exaggerated," I replied calmly, but it was all owing to the indiscriminate greediness of swan. The royal bird swallowed the whole thing, you know, bottle and all. It was the cork that killed him without doubt, but a post- mortem was held upon him by the Thames Conservancy, and some vague report of poisonous hair-dye was allowed to get into the papers. This report was so wickedly magnified that at the end of a week the regular newspaper reader was convinced that dyed hair was ab solutely 'de rigueur on houseboats at Henley," "Well, but," said Mrs. Dixon, helplessly, #what really did happen then ?"
Why, I explained, when the Henley ap petite of a swan is in full swing he gobbles up anything, and you know what long necks Swans have?"

Ar 1 seated myself beside her who indulged in a great deal of wondering speculation as to who ever on earth various ladies in passing boats: could be, and as to however on earth they had ventured to appear in public in the guise they had. She was obviously highly feverish, and she mounted guard over her own daughters in the most exasporating fashion.
At the best of times Mrs. Dixon is apt to take herself and her duiles as chaperon a little toe seriously, but at Henley' she was 'ovidently de- termined to show an irresponsible crowd that at least one British matron survived, who, not only knew what was required of her, but was actually prepared to do le. She utterly bafffed one or two little efforts of mine to detach her daughter Dara from her sheltering wing, under pretence of pointing out objects of interest visible only at the other end of the deck; then an idea occurred to me. On much the same principle as a careful trainer has a fretful borge led gently up and down the saddling paddock, I resolved to accustom Mrs.Dixon to the crowd

In an almost tearful voice the minstrel besought Mrs. Dixon to allow him to have the pleasure of remembering that, setting aside her ladyship's rank, he had had the honour of singing to one appreciative listener that day, without a thought of any pecuniary recompense, while on her side Mr. Dixon continued to mutely press a coin upon his acceptance.
In the midst of this little comedy, the coin slipped from Mrs. Dixon's gloved hand and rolled upon the floor of the pont, and there it lay, a golden sovereign. Call it a thick 'un or a jangling james, or call it by any term of endearment that you will, there it lay, mutely eloquent of Mrs. Dixon's weakmindedness.
