gave his order.

Brunette Roth burst unceremonious-
ly into her friends room.
MARY" she cried, lis 1t possible

Mary Vane, a tall, pretty girl, who
was adjusting her fur collarette be-
fore the mirror, turned quickly, her
soft cheeks flushing scarlet
Why, Brunetta.' she exclaimed,
how can you expect me to answer
such a question:"
Brunette, who was small and stout,
and attired in the height OF the pre-
vailing mode, sank down in a chair
and laughed.
II didn't expect you to answer 1t.
There is no necessity you should do so.
Mr.. Patton told Tom last night that
you had thrown him over. l don't see
how your conscience allowed you to
act so. He is such a catch-young and
sood-looking. Best of all, he is enor-
mously wealthy"
Mary smiled as she speared crown
Of her demure little turban with long
pin. She was thinking of man who
was no longer young-near forty, per-
haps-who was handsomer in her eyes
thar all other men, and who was by no
means wealthy.

Mary's smile became quiZzical.

"Oh, l have no patience with you!"
declared Brunetta, wrathfully. you've
known Charlie Everett three or four
gears. All this time he has been most
devoted to you, but not one of your
friends knows to this day whether you
are engaged or not"
The smile faded from Mary's lips.
We are not" she answered, and the
gay little cousin fancied her tone was
sad.
and yet you have been more gra-
cious to him than to any Of the others"
pursued Miss Roth, relentlessly.
Mary, are you in love with him?"
Isn't that" counter-questioned

feel you can afford to marry whom you

The conversation again turned on
Charlie Everett as the girls rode down
town together on the Metropolitan Ele-
