Lorraine took a hanson and, driving along Pic

companied with suggestions that. like this one
grated OH Loraincs finer sense Of dclicacv and dis
erection.
The hanson stopped suddenly. and Lorraine
looking up perceived that the crush had brought
him almost face to face WITH and quite within
speaking distance. Of lady seated In victoria
and dressed In the extreme Of fashion In the
slender. ELEGANT figure. and the face which by art
had been almost made pretty. Lorraine recognized
tween himself and Holden. Lorraine admired her
greatly for qualities he always highly esteemed in

maid, and nothing was ever permitted 10 rullc the

TO these merits. aroused her Of frivolty. insin-
rerity and a total incapacity partly mental,
partly moral, to repeat or relate ANYTHING correct
": faults which Lorraine viewed lenently in a
nice looking woman.
She turned upon him now her revcr-failing
smile. ard called out:
