ednes5 as best she could. How dread
| full to have to listen to such things of
Macdonald from her friend! How was
| it possible the secretary could believe
them! But he evidently did.
Mr. Van Pedigree communicated the
decision of Miss Rhodes to her Mon
golian lover in writing. 1t would have
been difficult to guess, however, from
any alteration in his behavior. that he
had received the intimation. He came
as usual. He was neither more OF less
attentive to Miss Rhodes. A dinner
party according to Chinese methods had
been planned some time ago, and this
entertainment neared. 1t had been
postponed until certain viands that had
been ordered for the occasion should ar
rive from China. Dndleigh had ex-
pressed desire to taste certain Chinese
delicacies, and Mrs. Van Pedigree had
agreed to matronize a feast given in
honor of and for the enlightenment of
this young lady. There had been a
time when Dudleigh had looked forward
| to this, as to various other events in her
career, with Joy. Now everything
palled upon her. Macdonald's visits
ceased abruptly. She was given to un-
derstand by Mrs. Van Pedigree that her
doors had been closed to him. Dud-
leigh instantly wrote to her sister that
she wished to come home; but for
family reasons this was not convenient
-possible-for week or so, during
which Dudleigh must possess her soul
in patience.
The Chinese dinner party came off,
and was complete affair. The birds
nest soup had the true Pekin flavor
about it, as indeed it should have had
once it was q direct Importation. The
ragout of jelly-fsh was marvel of
Orientalism, and of mushiness. But
then everything about the meal was
mushy; that was its distinguishing
characteristic. There was an extra
ordinary dish of chicken stewed with
mushrooms, the chicken having been
| first pounded until the bones were of
the consistency of paste. There was
yet another variety of stewed chicken.
At intervals watermelon seeds were
handed around, it may be as digester.
1t goes without saying that there were
clop-sticks. Instead of plates there
were odd little bowls, in which the
diluted delicacies of the unfamiliar menu
were eaten. Viands and table furniture
were all as full of wonder and interest
