She felt that she had been unbearably affronted, and she rose and stood pale with anger. Mr. Pastano rose and stood before her, and met with approval the blaze of her eyes. A waiter appeared fastantly with her coat, and he took it and wrapped it about her with Im- mense dignity. “80, go, princess |” he exclaimed, and bowed a little, and looked at her again, his own eyes alight. “You have only my good wishes.

She looked about her uncer- tainly, then laughed and answered Will with composure. “I don't believe I'll have to depend on Tommy. Here are Lillian and Lor- ing. They'll take me home.” Will swung about in astonishment, and there, indeed, coming through the room uneasily, were Lillian and her lover. Ernestine stood, smiling malig- nantly, as they came forward, “Ernestine,” exclaimed Lillian, When she was near enough, “I wanted to see you, We went to Mrs. Bennett's, but the maid said you were here, 80 we followed you, Can you come with us?” “1 was just going,” answered Ernes- tine, “But wait and meet our friends, This 1s my sister, Miss Driceland, Mrs. Wiston, and Mr. Poole, Lillian, and Monsieur Mostane, and Mr. Wiston of the Sun, and Mr. Underwood, and Mr, Heyward—and this is Mr. Pastano, who owns this charming place.

Down the wooden stairs they passed in complete silence. A new sedan stood at the curb, and Loring in ma- Jestic silence opened the car door for the girls who got in the back seat. He closed the door and in the driver's seat and started engine, Lillian and Ernestine sat to. gother in warmth and comf of the heated upholstered, glass-enclosed interior. Ernestine felt for the first time a poignant homesickness for com fort and convenience, “Why didn’t Will come with us?” asked Loring from the front seat. Ernestine decided to be frank. “You could see that Mr. Poole had been drinking too much, couldn't you? Well, Will felt that he ought to take him home and see that he got there safely. He often does that, They're good friends, you know. And you mustn't think badly of Mr, Poole.

Will you have lunch with mamma morrow and let me tell plans?" “I'Ill see,” I'l have to tired.” “Of course you are.
