back. Come along and be introduced to
my wife. Dearest-my best pal"
The hand dropped. The hat moved The
head turned. 1t was Dollie. The little cat
smiled up at me as II butter wouldn't melt
in her wicked little mouth.
Half an hour later I stood in my aunt's
hall with Reggie waiting for Dol. I
mean. waiting for Reggie's wife Reggie
was boring me terrifically about the sacred
duties of a man who has married a wife.
Suddenly he stopped and said. I'm worry

Reggie said: Thank God you chucked
her."
1 said: Thank God she chucked me,'
Reggie said: Bless me-. why did she do
that?"
/ said: II suppose she found a richer ass"
At this interesting moment Reggie's wife
came down the stairs. followed by about
fifteen men. I thought of my Aunt Maria's
rage upstairs. and / was glad.
II was difficult. but 1 meant to say my
say. and ! said 1t.

Dollie said: Il told you you'd give II me

Then she looked over her shoulder and
smiled up into Reggie's lace. and I saw
Reggie's lips turn white. I knew what Reg
gle was thinking. For two pins I'd have
slapped Dollie's enchanting little face.
Then the carriage came up and Dollie got
in.
Reggie said with enthusiasm: did I say
too much?'

you didn't say half enough"
Then. like the gentlemen on the stage.
We shook hands again.
As they drove away in the sunshine. Dol

For the second time that day 1t seemed to
me that the diamonds winked.
