King Features Syndicate, Inc.) "How gorgeous'." tried a voice •ttat seeped through the empty apartment like honey and gardenias. "How perfectly goreously gorgeous. May I just touch it once?" I looked up and beheld standing in the open hallway door a girl i who might have been sixteen as far as the thick cream of her smooth skin and the cool softness of her pouting mouth were con cerned. But she had amber eyes ; beneath plucked brows penciled in*o the wide sweep of swallow's wings. Lacquer-black hair undu- ; lated back from a low forehead and scooped out into two panniers over pink ear-lobes from which long jet pendants dangled against a vividly white throat. There were pinkish pears nest ling against that throat, and black chiffons swirled away to join the satin of a tight-skirted, transparent waisted little gown. The fragrance of sandalwood and geranium lioated in waves from this strange young creature. She was young, yet t seemed as old as woman's love of i jewels and ornament and beauty— as old as the world. "I'm so sleepy I've gone and dreamed her right out of seeing this robe and all that Egyptian and In dian stuff at the studio," I told my self. And then the voice that was as slow and sweet as honey and as smooth and creamy as a gardenia spoke again: "You're Mrs. Jim Harrison, aren't you?" she asked, and at my nod went op: "I'm Mrs. Cosby." "Mrs. Cosby!" I gasped. "Wel come! But you weren't expected till to-morrow." "I never do what's expected of me." she explained with her slow j sweetness, smiling engagingly across i two rows of very small, short white ; teeth. "How did you find me?" I asked, so puzzled that I couldn't help being categoric. Nothing seemed *>o much for the slow, sweet calmness of the other woman. Perhaps I was almost rude, but either she was very patient or that creamy skin of hers was thick and she didn't know it. "I decided to come to-day. I al- . ways do whatever I decide," she! explained simply. "And when I got to the station I phoned Lane's office BETTER TIN Mttl Thousands Have Discovered Dr, Edwards' Olive Tablets are aHarmlessSubstitute Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets—the sub stitute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the re sult of Dr. Edwards's determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. The pleasant little tablets dothe good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy"and "heavy."

Lane took our place furnished, iyou know." "1 didn't know," I said, wonder ing if this were a pretty spoiled ; child, or a sophisticated, selfish woman. i "Well, now you know that I'm a perfectly trustworthy person, do let me have that gorgeous brocade in ;my own hands. Oh. it's so lovely! What is it? A negligee? Do you wear it often?" ; "I've never worn it." I said, giv ing it over to the hands held out to I clutch it. As she took the robe my eyes focused upon her hands. They were dead white and they moved ; slowly and lingertngly. Not all j Valerie Cosby's beauty could ever ! make me forget her hands —that I knew at once. 1 hope I'd never have to touch them. And yet I knew that their whiteness and the pink ness of the shining nails that tipped the long. full, slightly curved fingers might appeal to some per . sons. Suddenly, vathout a word of ex planation or apology. Valerie Cosby slipped nonchalantly out of her satins and chiffons, stood revealed ! for a moment in a flimsy undergar j ment of blue chiffon and lace and i rose buds, and then slid into the i clinging sheath of the blue and : green robe. Stretched stark against her body, the peacock's eye pattern j revealed itself again mistily. "Where's a mirror I must see!" : she laughed. "Oh, yes; the bed \ room, of course." Without a by-vour-leave, she glided across my living-room and | disappeared beyond the doorway— ! the blue robe making her look like a magnificent reincarnation of some I queen of old Egypt. Idly across my 'mind fluttered the recollection that Tom Mason had said I would look ' like a lady of Florence. Then Mrs. Cosby came back, her eyes a-glitter. her fruity lips pout ing more than ever. She lifted her arms slowly and began unfastening the robe. Half-thoughts wrote themselves on my mind and erased themselves so others might take their place. The Saturday night— i this was just the costume. 1 had expected to leave it behind in the old apartment—Jim had brought it. Mrs. Cosby adored it—Jim had told me to be decent for once in my life about the ball—Cosby meant money to him. I'd always wanted to get rid of the robe—Mrs. Cosby adored it. Then the memory of Jim's efforts to force friendship on me. And distaste. At last pained and hurt at Jim for bringing the robe in spite of all he knew. Mrs. Cosby was back in her chif fons now. and handing the lustrous mass of blue and green to me again. "I wish you'd keep it," I said suddenly. "As a sort of welcome to-our-city gift. It's so—just right for you. I wish you'd keep it." "Oh—l couldn't," she began in dolently. But her amber eyes danced, and she said suddenly, "You dear! I really believe you want me to have it. . . . Im going to like you. Do you really want me to have this >eautiful thing?" "I want you to have it." What fun!" cried Valerie Cosby. People are giving me things. I lont know why. Have you heaps .1 pretty things t&at you part with his so graciously?" "It's —just something—l have no tse for—no possible use." I replied tumblingly. "And it's so lovely on vou." Then she studied me with sud len keenness, like steel under vel vet. I thought of the fancy dress dance again. . . .

' The evening paper contained the i statement that Thomas Chandler was j I out of danger from the bullet wound. I 1 He had been allowed to see his wife , * for a few minutes. When young j .Mrs. Chandler left the hospital she • acknowledged that all divorce pro - ! ceedings had been dropped. j "There was a foolish mistake ? I somewhere." she had declared. ' i Honora read this bit of news with ; ? mingled feelings of relief and dis- 1 c : gust. Apparently the whole scandal ''! had died a natural—or unnatural— ! i death. Perhaps the end had been ; hastened by some of Dr. Chandler's r | money. He had enough to be able - 1 to spare a goodly amount to save r 1 his son's reputation. | That page was turned down and sealed so far as Mildred was con- | s earned. Honora was devoutly thank s fill. I She had recently acquired too j much wisdom to mention the pain ' ful topics in chatting to Mildred ■ while she dressed for the Hilton i I dinner. Theretofore she was startl ed when the girl remarked casually: I "X see that Tom Chandler's going to get well. So there's been a great : deal of gossip over a trifling matter. ; i I am glad I was not foolish enough to let myself get excited over it." j Tet only forty-eight hours ago this 'voung creature had waited in the | Fairlands station for Tom Chandler, j I Now she looked as pretty as if she ; ! had never had a care. There was not a line nor a wrinkle in her face, j No wonder people thought her love , ly. She was almost beautiful at times. And this was one of the ; times. I "Good-by." she said airily, as, | after surveying herself in the mir- : ror. she threw her evening cloak about her. "Mrs. Hilton promised that her car would call for me at a quarter of seven, and it is Just that i s I now.

I say. Ho- i nora, some class to me —isn't 1 there?" She laughed merrily and ran I downstairs. j I Thoughtfully Honora took off her i own office dress and started to put ; 011 another gown. In the act of fastening this garment—a neat dress | of dark blue silk—she paused. Why; should she not look her prettiest | j to-night? Arthur was going away: , soon. She had a right to have him ' | carry with him a recollection of her ! j at her best. Milly Heart Whole Again When she appeared below-stairs' fifteen minutes later, she wore a | filmy creation of an exquisite shade , i pink. The gown was a favo rite one with Mrs. Higgins, who 1 smiled her approbation. "I am glad to see you wearing j that pretty thing," she remarked. | "I was thinking just now as I saw j Mildred looking so fine that I j ' wished you would be as much inter- j csted in dress as she is. Not but what you are always well groomed, i my dear," she added hastily, "for jyou always are. And you always j look stylish. But bright colors are. very becoming to you, and they do j lighten one up so in the evening, i And, after all, you are only a little ! older than Mildred. So why not , j dress as if you were as young as j I you are?" j "I don't always feel young," the j • girl replied, "But you must. Honey," Mrs. Hig- ' gins insisted. "You ought to en- j tertain more. 1 think we must j force you to do so. Now here you ! ; have a whole long evening before ; I you with nobody but me." "N'o," Honora corrected, flushing ' ' consciously, "Arthur Bruce is com- j ,ing." "Well, I am glad'. Do you sup pose he expects to find Mildred at home?" "No, he knows she is to be out," | Honora said quickly. She wished that Mrs. Higgins j could think of Arthur as uncon | nected with Mildred. The broken | J engagement had evidently made a ' deep impression. But the widow's next words were 1 soothing. "I have been thinking a lot about Arthur and Mildred," she | confessed, "and I have been remem bering back a ways. I can see that, after all, that affair was only a passing fancy of Arthur's. There ; was a time when you and he seemed to be much closer friends j than Mildred and he were." "We have always been good friends," Honora admitted. "Yes, I know, and you probably always will be. And that is worth much more than the fancy roused by a pretty face or such a coquet tish manner as Mildred has. I am fond of the child—very fond of her, as you know—but she is not stable like you. And you are sure of Ar thur's friendship." The words recurred to the girl several times during the evening while her caller and she talked ear i nestly and confidentially. Yes, she was sure of his friend ship, yet there was something in his manner that made her heart beat fast, something that did not seem to be mere friendship. A Thankful Arthur No mention was made of Mildred until just before Arthur was leav ing. "I wish I could stay longer," he said wistfully. "But it has been such a wonderful evening, here alone with you, that I do not want t to mar it by lingering until some i body comes in and interrupts us. IBy the way, where is Mildred?" Honora explained her sister's | whereabouts. To her surprise, Ar thur smiled amusedly. "It's good to be like Milly," j Honora said quickly. "For experi ences do not hurt her. I am not as j wise as she." "Thank goodness!" he exclaimed, j , | "Mildred has not the power of , making peopifc care long, either." i "Arthur!" Honora reproved. ! "That does not sound nice coming ' from you." "I can't help it! I confess I was i desperately in love with her. But ] |it was not the kind of love that i lasts." "How do you know?" "Because her dismissal of me i ; does not hurt me now a bit. If it I I had been you who had broken oft ! I our friendship, for instance, I do ' I not think I could bear it, dear. I j That's the difference. After which he said good-night j hastily and took his departure. It! j was almost as if he were afraid to j i let himself say more.
