The short shoulder capes of fur
have been displaced, among the women in

of the collarette-not boa, but standing

fur boas have given way to the lighter and

of the latter can be had very cheaply, and

'T don't care one jot for kim," she re-

she said it.
Edmund did not come in for his tea, and
we walked very sobsrly to the theater to-
gether. He was there, of course, and went
through his work as usual; but never saw
him once at the wings, nor did be raise his
mask while in my sight.
Lord Freeland was more to the fore than
ever, and made himself unpleasantly OBJ
trusive, monopolizing all Cissie's attention
when of the stage; while she, as if to prove
her power and independence, firted with
him more openly than ever He had
bought her bouquet-the most magnificent
bouquet have ever seen. The young fool
must have paid pounds for it. Cissie
seemed childishly delighted.

"Oh, you catl you're Jealous" she cried,

At that moment we had to move aside for

last attempt to turn her from her purpose.

But Cissie Stanley did not forget
She continued to play her part in ''The
Butterhy's Ball." but from the day that
Edmund died she used to walk straight off
the stage to her dressing-room, and never
spoke to anyone. Lord Philip Freeland
complained bitterly to me Of the alteration
in her behavior; but 1 told him she had lost
dear friend, and wished to be left as much
alone as possible.
After awhile he disappeared and went
home to his friends But Cissie grew thin
ner and paler every day. She did not con-
tide in me, but guessed how deeply she
was suffering-now, when alas it was too
late. When the pantomime had run its
course, and our engagements were over, we
parted to different ways - she to her
mothers house, to my husband.
\"Cissie, dear" 1 whispered, as 1 kissed
her and said goodby, 81 hope you have
ceased to fret about that unfortunate
affair."
She shook her head
ST shall never cease to fret, Mary"

Cissie raised her big blue eyes to my face,
and I noticed for the first time how sunken
and haggard they had become.

And yet she had goaded him to self-de-

Edmund Grey's unhappy death, and the

her breast that will make itself felt until
