Natalie de Santos breathes freely. A few days of preparation makes Madame "au fait" in the newest fashions. Her notes, cartes de visite, dazzling "batterie de toilette," and every belonging bear crest, monogram, and initial of the new-born Senora Natalie.

'No, thank you. 'Now you're here, you'd better, said Lady Monogram. 'No, thank you. I'm sorry that I have not been able to make you understand me. I could not allow our very long friendship to be dropped without a word. 'Don't say dropped, exclaimed the baronet. 'I do say dropped, Sir Damask. I thought we should have understood each other; your wife and I. But we haven't.

It instantly became evident, however, that his remark was casual and not serious, for he gathered up his mail and departed. Her hand trembled a little as she opened the letter, and for a moment the large gold monogram of its sender danced before her eyes.

Inness' best linen sheets, embroidered in her initials, the monogram so thick that it scratches your nose; and a beautiful light blue silk coverlet, all just out from Paris. I saw them when she first had them." "What," said Geoffrey, addressing the other male intellect present, "do you make of the young woman who disposed of some of the Marheim silver in Boston?"

Uncle Steve had brought her a bureau set of ivory, with her monogram on the brushes, and the children gave her various trinkets.
