THE MASQUERADE OF
- • HATE. •
'[Conclusion.]
There was Mrs. Morris Borrowe, whom
I had rro . tl to know, and who frequently
tool; me to drive. She Wa4 charmingly
natural, bright, and even, witty when we
were alone, having a renitarkable insight
into character; but when we returned to
the circle of our. hotel, :she became almost
vapid; a well-bred langitor overspread her
features. She said nothing but'common=
places; no emotion betrayed, itself on her
trained features.

cannot we follow your sprightly footsteps
still further, and dare to be witty and

A silvery laugh echoed ...throigh the;
rooms: , . We allLdared to be amuied, and:
this gigantic achievmerit of wit passed in
to one of thelegends of Newpert intel
leetuality. • .
s One of the ladies of New as I
had always supposed, a very enviable rep
utation fOr her wit, learning and 'Clever
ness ; but I fehitd this was p.,:positiVe
advantage to her, •for. on- "biking 'Mr...
Semple about her, he seemed rather dis•
gusted, and. answered me
"Very good house; nice position, rich,
but too chatty; oh ! decidedly too chatty l"
The second week d our stay still found
. Rose the reigning belle of the house.—
Neither Miss Chase who sang, nor 'Miss
Brown who played, -nor Miss Robinson
whose mamma manoeuvred, had anything
to compare with Rose in point of success.
And then caine theunmasking
I went down to dress one day for din
ner quite late, and had not time to read a
dirty note which I found. on my table,
and which I supposed was some begging
letter; and seeing it lie there still unread,
as I was going to take my afternoon drive
with Mrs. Borrow, I put it hastily in
my pocket to read on the way.
The' afternoon was beautiful, and, as
Mr's. Borrowe looked out on the sea, ale
quoted Horace Smith's fine lines :
"To that cathedral, boundless as our won
• der, •
Whose shining lamps the sun and moon
supply : t •
Its elatrit, the winds and waves; its organ,
thunder,
is-douse, the sky." •
The "choir of winds and waves" was
chanting its majestic anthem. Nature
was grand, calm and beneficent. I could
not help asking Nrs. Borrowe if she did
not sometimes: find society , tediOus and
unsatisfactory.
"Yes, but it has .its attractions.
know I am born for something better :
but I love it; I cannot escape from it;
believe we should all live with each oth
er; and if the mass is stupid, let us do
our individual mite to make it brighter."
"But do we ? do we not all take a low
er tone when we mingle with. society ?
Would you now, dear Mrs. Borrowe, have
dared to quote that splendid simile, which
you have just spoken so appropriately, if
you had been in the parlor at the hotel ?"
"No, because, as Cecil says, (that
worldy-wise Cecil!) "We m+t, to suc
ceed in society,. consent to We ourAidi
viduality, and' float along with the mass,
distinguished only for our extreme resem
blance to ail the rest." And we must
all remember that hate, envy, detraction,
are always lying in wait for the success
ful person ; and if I am so unfortunate as
to command any excessive admiration, I
suffer for it. The most successful per
sons I know in society, are women who
have neither beauty nor wit, who dress
well,: and while they alarm and wound no
one's vanity, are still sought for their po
sition, tact and 'knowledge of the world,'
which means, never showing any other
kind of :knowledge."
At this moment I remembered my let-,
ter, and. drew it from my pocket.
It was a badly. spelled, badly' written
letter; saying that the-writer felt bound;
to tell me that he had seen Mr.' Suther
land kissing my handsome .sister, Miss'
Bose, in the dusk of the evening before,
as they were walking on the piazza; and
that he (the writer) had some other facts
to' communicate, which he would do for
five dollars, if I would write him a note,
and leave it on the table, when I went to
dinner, in my own parlor. -
I supposed it was some waiter who
wished to - get money from me, and show
ed k i te Mrs. Bonnie. She loeked it
over isittentiv . ely. •
glhis is-from no waiter. It is a lady's
hand disguised. It is done to create a
talk, The person who wrote it imagines
that:ou will be frightened r and will men
tion it to- the landlord, or some person
about the house: you will complain of
I your parlor being entered, by some wait
er or servant, and the story will leak -out;
and having thus screal foundation for half
the story, a; number of false ones will be
erected on that: It - is simply a plot, die
tated by hate; to injure Rose."

We grote edveral (miles in silence.—
Mrs. BerrOe at ,length broke it:
"I wlshr nu; would do What I suggest

."Well _
- ' "Write an answer and leave it-on your
table, saying.you wish to know more."
"But you assure , me that-is what the
writer vants?" - .
"Yes; but I-propose to foil the•perpe
trator with her own tools. I think I.see
a well known-hand •in this."
After some conversation on this. point,
I consented to follow )Irs. Borrovie's•de
vice. • - •
When we reached home it !was quite
dusk, and I want to.find Rose.• She had
been driving with Mrs. Gibson,, whpm•l
met in the hall, and who said she had
been home an hour. • ' •
Rose was not in my own room or hers ;
and Matilde, my maid, said she had come
in very hurridly, taken a shawl and gone
out again.
. I waited an hour very uneasily. Then
I went out to see Mrs. Gibson again. She
knew nothing of her;'said she walked off,
talking with Sutherland and some young
ladies after the drive. •
At this moment one of the young la
dies came in, and said she had returned
with Rose and Sutherland just before -I
drove up, and thought Rose must be in
her cairn room, dressing for the hop. •
I went again.; there was the dress she
was to wear, but no Rose. I was getting
More and more alarmed. • •
I went to Mrs. Borrowe. She was
frightened too. She asked me if r'had
perfect, confidence in Rose, that she could
not be deceiving me.
"Perfect, perfect."
"Then, this is a plot to annoy you, like
all the rest." /
"Now, be calm, you must &esti and gO
to the hop to-night ; tell everybody that
Rose did not come because she had a
head-ache; be- perfecetly cool: about it;
and I will look for' Rose. She is safe,
depend upon it; but, if you wish to save
her and yourself a terrible scandal, do not
show' that you are anxious about. her."
There sas something so perfectly con
vincing in Mrs. Borrow manner that I
submitted. --
Matilde exclaimed at my pale cheeki
and haggard expression: •
. "If Madam would _but color :a leetle.
She has the..distinetiony the air, the ev
erything, but . she has not the complex
ion. Would Madame bp .brilliant, for the
ball, and permit me to color with dis
cretion ?"
So Matilda produced, from her own
Magazines, bottles and 1 boxes, and pro
ceeded to make me up: a drawing sensa
tion of the skin convinced me that a col
or "charming, natural, "'like that which
bloomed perpetually on the cheek of Ma
tilde, was blushing on 4 own. My eye
brows, my hair, were also touched with
various brushes , and other instruments.
After -receiving- : the treatment which is
generally bestowed on • the " portrait of a
lady," instead of the lady herself, I was
pronoduced finished, and looked at my
self.
1
I hardly knew the enamelled visage
which presented itself. This then was
one sort of " mask," which I had not re'
membered.. It was easier than I thought,
to hide.the, anxiety which gnawed at my
heart. -I could better ' appear unconcer r
ned behind this face. 1 .- -
- , " - Come, " said Mrs. Borrowe, knock

ing - at my door; "here s Warden Wood

well you look! . I. m on. the traCk,",
she whispered; . "be composed! There

I I was so matted anal diatreased, that

rapidly depriving me Tqf -In4, strength,
when I. caw_ Mrs.. liorrOwe enter with

As Sutherland paavid ILes,: she gave
him a look from which be quailed; and I
-have since :observed;, ;hat all the evil
which the Weirld' previonaly said of
Sutherland, was praise r compared' with
what blrai.Paston afterwards treated him

"I' have not foundlitose," 'whispered
Mrs. Borrowe ; rfound Sutherland,
