As aba had foreseen, a day or two after her arrival In town aha bad received a note from Mrs Rydar asking bar to do her the honor to call and aaa bar, and Shirley, after waiting another twe days, hud replied making an appointment for tha following day at oclock. This waa tha same day on which tha paras graph concerning tha In tha engagement appeared society chronicles of the metropolis.
