I had arranged a pretty little scene between Croisenois and Van Klopen, by which the Viscountess would be securely trapped.
"You are right," returned the Viscountess, gravely; "he brought my bill into my very drawing-room, and handed it in before a stranger.

Its color is a soft pink, shaded with cream, with reflexed petals. It has a rich, June-Rose fragrance. Maman Cochet is, all things considered, one of the best of its class. It blooms in wonderful profusion.
"My aunt, I shall be a viscountess," replied Miss Merlin. And preparations for the great party were immediately commenced. More than two hundred invitations were sent out.
