"Whoopeev' yelled Yates from the
dressing room. I've found Warry's
tablecloth. It's a dream!'
Warwick sat up and dropped his
cigarette Waiting dizzily, radiantly,
wickedly out from the dressing room
came Yates, arrayed in the pink silk
kimOno. There was a silence, then a
long drawn howl of delight from the
crowd They caught Yates in their
arms. and swept him up on the center
table They handed him a Samoan
fan of dyed plumes and a Mexican
peaked hat TrainOr at the piano
crashed into the San Toy overture.
And suddenly Warwick stood up,
white and mad, mad clear through
that they should dare even in jest to
touch anything that belonged to the
dear, unknown girl. the brunette with
the gray eyes.
"Take that off, he said.
The music stopped short, but not
from his words. Every face in the
crowd was turned toward the door Of
the hall, and Yates looked helpless and
miserable. Warwick turned, too, and
held his breath She stood in the
doorway, one hand lifting aside the
heavy drapery. Behind her was
George, the colored hall boy. Her
face looked startled, and yet there
was amusement, too, in the wide gray
eyes, as they glanced from face to
face and finally rested on Yates.
"There is some mistake, l think"
she said gently. George tells me a
parcel of mine was left here tonight.
1 have only moved here today, and
he made mistake. l think that
gentleman has on my kimono."
Wretched, limp and apologize, Yates
was assisted from the table, and di-
vested of the pink silk gown.

ment''- she stopped, and turned her
head toward Warwick as the host,
when all at once her eyes met STAN

"Marjorier' he gasped. Marjorie,

Silently and discreetly the crowd
averted its composite face while Stan
