At last. when she was absolutely desper-

Curling was her civilian rival and had
fought scores of social battles with Mrs.
Madame. Lady Curling had in her day
been a famous beauty. Mrs Madame, on
the contrary, often thanked heaven pub
licly that she had ont been born with
a dolls mind. The men, at first. drawn as
usual by a pretty face, became attached
of Lady Curling, but when they found
that the beauty bored them. they sid

skirmishes.'' said Mrs. Mahane of her
rival. but the pitched battles and the
booty fall TO me-
The rivalry was sood-natured enough
on Mrs. Mahanes part; it is easy for the
victor to feel kindly toward the van
with all the dull malice of stupid wom-
an. Their last encounter-for the devotion
of a subaltern who also CHANGED to be a
peer-had resulted in a striking victory
for the colonel's wife. Lady Curling had

Colonel Mahame walked across from his

a chair 'on the veranda. and sighed. OF

him: Ii was true that rumors said that 4

but then intrigueS seem TO be quite the
