As Her World Wags.

10 a.m. —How dreadfully done up I am, to be sure. Let me see, where waß I yesterday? I paw those wretched Fitzfidgets Horrid people ! Three dances, and Smith eon brought me home from the last. Quel horreur! The idea of my having a husband of the name of Smithson ! But then one can't have everything. Oh ! it's you, Parker, is it ? Vee, I'll have my Pekoe and a dry biscuit before my bath. 11.30 am.— Wear Makarb greys and yellows. Yellow droll, isn't it ? I mean to hear that awful Balcarras affair in the Law Courts this afternoon. It's better than making calls, better than fny matinee. We're terrible creatures, of courbe. Everyone is, well— a leetle, eh? — outre. I'm sure it's no fault of mine. 12.30 p.m. — Dropped in at Faidaise's. Daren't even look at anything there, such a frightful bill against me. What that poor, unhappy Smitbson will say when ie comes to hie eara and they're long enough for any- i thing to come to, poor man !) I can't cay. Told cousin Gup, the other day, on the strict QT. He offered to, &b he called it, " give me a bit." I don't Bee why you shouldn't be able to take a cheque from your couein. What good friends we used to be. Poor' Gue, he hadn't come into anything then. I wish he wouldn't call mo little woman when he meets me Of course, I shouldn't think of tuking a cheque from Gus. His impertinence shocking ! 1.30 p m. — Lunched with Aunt. I ought not to take anything but claret at lunch, but I did. Only the girl?, Aunt, and Gus whore there ; quite petit comite, you know. At Faidaise's I had some red lavender Why should women take red lavender for their nerves ? It only makes you eilly and stupid. Of course Aunt U going with me to the Law Courts. I shouldn't dream of going without her. No, no, I know what I owe to myself and society better than that ! 5 pm. —Really the Balcarraa case wan too awfully awful Aunt quite crammed her handkerchief into her mouth, He ! he! I wonder bow it suited those new teeth of hers ! Bpm —Really it is too absurd. Smithaon absolutely putting on the indignant because I have been to hear ..the Balcavras. "Everyone goes," I said. He said, "The more »hame for them." Really the poor man is a perfect wild Indian. He knows nothing of the usages of ordinary people. The man is a perfect bear. He was really born to live at Clapham, or pome other awful place too dreadful to reflect upon. 3 a.m. Such fun. Danced cix times with poor Gus. Twice at the Fitzfidgets', twice at. the Mashvillecj', twice at Aunt's crush. When wo wero driving home, Smithaon began something about " Madam " Ac if I were going to be awed ! Dreadfully bleepy Vee, Parker, I'll have some coffee and curacoa. Good night — beg pardon, till morning— girl.— " Fun."
