IV.—-SHOWING WIAT PROGRESS TOM GORING MADE IN HIS SUIT.

The season whirled on till whitebait dinners and water parties brought it near its close. The sweet odours of the Thames were beginning to penetrate into the senatorial halls of St. Stephen’s, and its benches were fondly yearning to- wards their preserves and moors, grouse and blackcock, the Pytehelay and the Two Thousand. ‘Tired belles began to think of winding up their town campaign, and commencing fresh manoeuvres in Spanish hats and country simplicity, or, en Amazone, leading the field over staken-bound fences. Very’s and Epitaux’s began to look for a respite, the Ride and the Hing to thin by degrees, fewer carriages to block the way before Howell and James’s, and senators and singers, belles aud ballet-girls, clubs and chaperones, to take breath from their incessant toils. The season was drawing/to a close, and Willie had an invitation to spend August with a ‘Fellow of John’s on his moor, but, for some reason or otber, put eff accepting it. In three weeks or so, the Lessingham girls would be off to their little Norfolk village, to vegetate again among misembryanthemums and Sunday schoojs, and Tom began®to get as hot in parsuitiof Vy, as in arday's pig-sticking. You're sure that, Jike all the rest.of us ig those affairs, De Rohan’s word of advice not to do it, was the surest method to make him want to do it ton times more. . Willie never opened his lips about it again to Goring or me, Sometiincs he’d spend whole evenings in) his chambers, smoking (and reading, I suppose), alone; sometimes he'd come up to St. John’s Wood, and be very kind to.
