Ethel's eyes went back to the photo
rPh. How strons and alarming, all
ft, n. hnur. Amv's nlcturo had become.
i. .(,. innb,i it neemed to take on
lift, to be baylnc. "Money ' Money at

"Now they'll come In a perfect hordo !"
'Shall I tell Joe?4 Most certainly."
But f.he did not tell him all. that nlRht.
Bhe did not say, "One of Arny'B friends
was h,erc today, nnd she's coming again,
and more are coming and I hate them,
rv nno!" Sho slmnlv lcmarkcd:
"OhJoe. dear Fanny Carr was here
today."
"She was, eh?" He gave a slight
tart. "Where has sho been all this
time?" . . ,
"Abroad" And Ethel answered his
questions. "Sho'll bo heio a good deal,
I fancy," sho ended Joe looked, anneycu

evening, of the memories rising In hln
M mind. For on both tho old npell of sllcnco
V waa strong. Subtly Uio spirit of tho
first wife came stealing back Into the
I room, penaded It and made It her own.
But her name was still unspoken.

babj-'s cap with Fanny's card tucked in
tide. And in tho fortnight after that.
Fanny herself came several times. Sho
talk! In such a natural way, and her
tmlle and tho look In her clover gray
eies as to good-humored and friendly.
Mhe's doing it beautifully." Ethel
thought But fche pulled horself up.
"Dolnic what beautifully? What do I
mean? One would think we were mil
lionaires, and Joe a perfect Adonis! In
he trying to eat us? And aren't you
rather a nob, my love, to be sure you
hate the woman before you even know
her?"
At such moments Ethel would relax
ai4 grow pleasantly Interested In
Fanny's talk of Paris and Rome, or of
New York. In each t y Fanny seemed
to hae led very much the same ex
igence In each there had been Amcrt
ctns, and hotels, cafes and danccb, motor
trltn ana lunches, gosilp and scandal
i without end But sho told It all In a
) humorous way that made It quite arous
ing. And It was a good deal tho sarrtw
iwtn the two women. Amy s mends,
whom Fanny brought to tea a bit later.
Their gosblp and their laughter, their
voices breaking Into each other nnd
making a perfect hubbub at times, their
smart suits and hats and dainty boots,
their1 plump faces. llcly ees, nil were
quite exciting to Ethel, when sho threw

Giles camo In with a long box of roses.
Ethel thought they were for .herself.
' "No." said Emily, "they're for your
husband."
"For. me?" Joo laughed. "There's
some mistake."
"No there'B no mistake." said Ethel.
In a low unnatural voice. In art In
stant sho had grown cold. What a fool
to havo forgotten that this waa Amy's
mnnaayi insiao ine dox was iranny a
card ami on it she had wrlttnt "In
memory of the many times I helped you
buv a blrthdav Blft."
Ethel went aulcklv nut nf Ihn room.
It was an awkward evening,
Fanny gavo a. dinner soon after that
to celebrate Ethel's recovery. It was lit
a hotel grill room, and It waq large ana
noisy and noisier and noisier till even
above the boisterous hubbub at the
tables all about the noise of their party
could bo heard. At least so it seemed
to Ethel's cars. And what were they
snylng7 Anything really witty,
sparkling? No Just chatter, peals ot
laughter! They were Just plain cheap
and tough! How red wero their faces,
warm and moist their llp3 and eyes!
"You'ro nof vivid enough, that's the
trouble with you I You've got to be
vivlder!" she thought. "You ought to
have taken that cocktail!" She drank
wlno now, a whole glass of It, and tried
to be very boistorous with tho man on
her right, who was smiling back ns
though ho could barely hear her voice.
"Jle has had too much!" shd told her
self. "Oh, how I loathe you loathb
you alH"
nut later, when they began to dance,
sho found with a little glow of relief
that she could do this rather welh
Thank Heaven she had taken those
dancing lessons a year ngb : and she
was younger than most of these crea
tures, and moro lithe and supple. The
men wero fiotlclng, crowding ' around
her. Sho caught a glare from one ot
their wives. And that glare helpco
tremendously ; It came, like a gleam of
light In the dark. She cauiriit .inn'x
admiring glances. She danced with him,
then turned him down for somebody
elso, kept turning him down. She threw
Into her dancing an angry vim; but Joy
was coming into it too. This was not
so bad, aftor all. "You may even grow
to like all this!" But most of hor
ininKing was a wniri,
She went homo In a taxi, In Joe's
arms. Sho thought, "This Is how ho and
Amy camo home. Never mind, I'm not
half so weak as I thought. 1 can play
thin game "
And play it sho did.
Tho next morning they slept very late.
They had breakfast In bed, and when
Joo had gono sho lay thinking. Her
mind was marvolously clear, it went
swiftly over tho night before. Yes, most
of it had been simply disgusting, the eat
ing and drinking, those warm moist
oyca. "The way the men looked at you,
held you I This Is no life for you, Ethol
Lanier 1" The dancing was all she cared
about. She wanted lhat, but with other
men whom she liked to De friends with
"men who would treat you as something
more than a, than a I don't know
what!" Yes, she must got away from
these creatures, and get Joo away, too,
but to do It she must show him flrbt
that sho was really willing to do her
best to like them all. The next thing
was to ask them here. "It's the only
way. to break tholr hold. Show him
you're no Jealous cat. And how do I
know that among them nil. as I co
about, I won't find a few that aren't -o
tough7 And through them 111 And '
others "
But she put off entertaining Joe's
friends, for she had her hands full now
In managing JU3t Joe alone. Amy's
husband was coming to life In him. Of
that thero could be no mlstnke. Undei
the snelt of his success, and still more
perhaps through his prldo and delight In
his handsome young wife, Joe was show
ing his love for her as Amy had taught
him long ago. He showered gifts unon
her. Ho delighted in surprises. One
'was a smart little town car, and this
was a very pleasant surprise. But in It
he Insisted upon her shopping busily.
No moro wearing last year's clothes!
And when fcho was a bit slow to move,
to ber dismay he went himself with
Fanny Carr, and bought for Ethel'H
birthday a costly set of furs and a
brooch. He nearly bought pearl ear
rings, too. but Ethel took them back at
once. "Fanny knows ns well as I do
myself that I can't wear pearls!" sho
thought angrily. Sho exchanged them
for opal pendants. And then, in older
to put a stop to Fanny's detestable at
tempts "to make me look llko a perfect
fright," Ethel did start In and shop.
And as soon ns she got well Into It.
what a fever It became! Sternly eye
ing horself In tho mirrors of shops, one
studied nnd made mistakes by tho score
and corrected and went on and on. "I'll
look right If It kills me!"
Ohe night she learned what Fanny
Carr had had In mind when she came
"poking Into our lives!"
For Farmy was poor she had long
guessed that; and Fannv had a house
orr Long Island, and only by a hairs
breadth now did Ethel keep her from
selling It to Joo ns a surprise for his
w Ife.
"Well. Fanny, what next 7" thought
Ethel that night. She had been awnle
for hours, perfectly still hnd motionless,
not to disturb her hubband. "For jou
ore not thiough yet. Mrs. Carr. So
long as we'ro i Ich and you aro poor and
have no Immediate husband, jou'ro
going to act like a raienlng wolf
nron't jou, my own precious. You mean
to break my hold on him by keeping him
thinking of her, of her! Now what am
I to do about it?" Sho frowned She
know that she ought to talk frankly to
Joe, and get over thli slllv habit of
never mentioning Amy's name! She
grow determined, but their weak. For
what could she say to hint about Amy?
What did she really wsnt to say? "Do
I know poor Amy was anything bad?
Wasn't shn good to me? Would I care
to try to talk against hor? No And
oven If I did, you see. It would only
hurt mo with Joe as It should."
So sho went on In different moods
And now she saw hor sister's face smil
ing out of clear violet eyes, and again
she felt a small gloved hand on her
husband drawing him gently back back
and back Into the past. Why was Amy
so much stronger now? "Because
Fanny Carr has been clever enough to
tuko me out of the life I was making
and pitch me Into Amy's llfo whero her
hold on Joe was strongest I'm in hci
setting. That's the trouble'"
But she had Amy's friends to dine one
night, as In her calmer moods she knew
was the only sensible course. And as
they began arriving, by swift degrees
amid the burs of talk which rose Etncl
could feel the room each moment change
and become Amy's home. And It was
Amy B dinner. too. No cnnklnir of
i-mnys mat night, for Joo had sug
gested a caterer. "The one we've al
ways used," he had said. And so the
cocktails and tho wines and tho food
ur many courses, the two waiters in
evening clothes, and the talk and the
shrieks of mirth, wero Just as they
must have been beforo so many, muny
times In this room. Ethel aat affably
rigid thero.
And later at the piano Joo was not
Ethels husband. Nor was It her room
when they stripped up the rues and
began to dance, nor her photograph their
fea kept seeking from time to time'
Slio even thought she could hear them
viHB cr uuoui mo nosteas who vyis
dead!
And when very late they had departed,
and last of all Joo had zone with
Fanny downstnlrs to put her in her
mxi, binei, left alone in the room,
turned to her sisters photogaph

back plcturo "mlled good naturedly
''All right," it teemed to answer,
then what do you expect to do?"
Uy the next day she had made up her
mu ,0 lo0,c '0' another apartment,
rno move had several points In its favor,
'twould not only take her away from
this place wnere she felt the spell bo
strong; u would also give her something
to do. "And I need It, heaven knofe r
she thought And besides It would pro.
vide un excuse for not seeing Amy's
friends. "I'll be worn out every eve
ning," she decided with grim satisfaction.
She found Joe moro than ready for the
change. He himself had suggested It,
some weekH beforo, nnd Ethel made the
most of that "I've been thinking over
your (doa of moving," sho began one
night. And In the talk which fol
lowed the Intent little glances she threw
ut him made her sure that In her hus
band's mind was a half conscious deep
relief at the Idea of getting away from
