Gaylord, who is doing second heavy at the Grand Goes tiiere every night, and moons at her from the parquet or gall lery or some other impossible place. We'll, Percy. happens to know Grant, the press agent of the Grand, and he tipped us a wink and suggested that a little supper might be arranged. Well, you. ought to have. seen that boy go to the ceiling. Percy got Grant on the phone and he said he would fix it tomorrow night. Mir. Hayseed can't believe it's true-it sounds so good. So were all going and I'm lay ing odds itll be a merry session. T think you're pack of wolves and just as mean as you can be, ," flashed Grace sweeping out of the room.
 Now, wouldn't that kill you" re- marked Tom, looking puzzled. What in sin Is the matter with herr"
 How did your little theatrical ban ouet come out2" asked Grace, Inno- gently, on the evening following the event.
 "Beastly, beastly-chop it," growled Tom. "The internal young cub thought it was all real and that this Gaylord woman was just the same off the stage as on. He wasn't looking for any lark or affair at all, by love, but was down
 
 supposed she was. Well, Ethel is about like all others-ready for good time, and she certainly had it last night--or this morning. The jay stood the general hilarity pretty well and the drinking and all that but when Percy boosted her on the table sne gathered up her skirts and gave us a l midway dance, he turned pale, and when she ended by sitting on Percy's s lap and hollering for mole wine. that finished him, and he grabbed his hat and made for the door. He got the | start of me and I lost him, put l knew ne was stopping at the Metropolitan, so l sauntered up there. by love. l | found him flat on the bed, crying like | a baby, l told him to forget 1t, there were more women than the Gaylord in | the world. He Hat up and glared at me like am maniac.
 Ut aiu't that he shouted. Tt ain't her. It's the utter destruction of faith in womankind as a whole. v such a creature as she can look and act and be the beautiful character she takes at the Grand. then where is any man safe with any woman in the world?"
 Well, 1t was too deep for me, so prescribed couple of brandies and adjourned. What in the thunder's the matter, sis. Have l said anything to make you cry?"
 In the following summer Grace decided that q quiet season in the country would be better for her than Newport or Saratoga. and after some | investigation announced demurely that she had found a quiet farm near Her | rickvIlle and would go there. Ana gc she did, together with her maid and | poodle and the inevitable Aunt Lucy What happened during that memora- ble summer is not q part of' recorded | history, but it is known that Grace did not go back to the city with Aunt Lucy and the maid, but staid as the mistress of the likeliest farm in the county. Aunt Lucy and society were shocked. Fitzroy and brother Tom were startled beyond belief and Papa Van Alster was furious. But Paul and Grace were and are fully satisfied Society and Aunt Lucy have forgot ten all about them. Fitzroy has found another heiress and Tom other sensa- tion And Papa Van Alster. finding that his son-in-law wanted none of his money, has changed his will back, so Grace will get her full share.
