For example we could not help sighing in sympathy with the governess when she relat ed how lonely. she was in the dining room, on the two occasions she graced the table with her presence. The ladies talked about nothing but dress and society-those moth eaten subjects which are rapidly going out of fashion, so we understand and if it had not been for the gallant co- lonel who chipped in now and then with a racy anecdote about Indja or a brief his torical sketch of the rise and fall of the Hindu Kush the poor governeas would have died of enout. No wonder that she became home-sick and weary of life. And the bardest part of it, all must have been the mecting of the parties on the staircase, when each wondered whether a mumble and a stolid stare at the ceiling would pass for a cordial "bos matin." It is all very ridiculous aud absurd. ladies who, we feel certain, could have arranged matters so that the daily round would pass harmoniously, and yet they must pick up the veriest trifles and odds and ends of short temper in order to create that strained, hold-me-at-arm's length leeting which invariably leads to an eruption, And then when matters have reached a crisis they are foolish enough to invoke the aid of the law to arbitrate between them, to the great glee of a number of old women of both sexes in the Colony.
