his endeavor was that many friends
who would not have thought Of remem-

pleasantly surprised on Christmas eve.
AS it turned out, he fared very we'll
in the matter of gifts, and for some
days much Of his time was spent in

Miss Drew had forgotten him, and
when they met after the holiday her
recognition was Of the coolest. He had

he could send her gift Of value, but
the beautiful pearls with which he ask

to advise him to try again, but his hap
piness was thing she had at heart.
It's beastly unfair, Peggy" he said.
"l've really been white to her. be-
lieve I'll chuck the whole business and
leave New York
You're going away?" And there was
just suggestion Of catch in her
breath.
I'm going to charter a yacht and
sail away from this place for three
or four months" Peggy fairly gasped.
what do you think Of the scheme?"
he added. noticing the alarm and in
credulity in her eyes.
Il think you'll end in the poorhouse.

q laugh.

"Oh, you know what I mean, and
you know quite as well as do that it
Is perfectly true. The dinners were a
beastly bore. which proves that they
were loud success. Your work was
not done in vain. But now l want
something else. We must push along
this ball we've been talking Of. And
the yachting cruis It can't walt
very much longer"
1.-The ball first" she decreed. "I'n
see to the cards at once. and in day
or two I'll have list ready for your
gracious approval And what have you
dOne?'
"Peitingill has some great ideas for
doing over Sherry's. Harrison is in
communication with the manager OF
thxt Hungarian orchestra you spoke
of, and he finds the men quite ready
for little jaunt across the water. We
have that military band-Ive forgotten
the number of it's regiment-for the
promenade music. and the new Paris
sensation, the contralto. Is coming over
with her primo tenore for some special
numbers"
You were certainly cut out for an
executive. Monty" said Mrs. Dan.
But with the music and the decora-
tons arranged you've only begun. The
favors are the real things, and if you
say the word we'll surprise them lit
tie. Don't worry about it. Monty. It's
a go already. Well pull it off togeth-
err"
"You are thoroughbred, Mrs. Dam"
he exclaimed. You do help a fellow
at a pinca.'
THAT'S all right, Monty" she an
swered. ':Give me until after Christ
mas and I'll have the finest favors
ever seen. Other people may have
their paper hats and pink ribbons. but
you can show them how the thing
ought to be DONE
Her reference to Christmas haunted
Brewster as he drove down Fifth ave
nue. with the dread Of hew disaster.
Never before had he looked upon pres
ents as a calamity. but this year 1t
was different. Immediately he began
to plan a bombardment of his friends
with costly trinkets, when he grew sud
denly doubtful of the opinion Of his
uncle's executor upon this move. But
in response to telegram Swearengen
Jones, with pleasing irascibility, in
formed him that 'any one with drop
of human kindness in his body would
consider it his duty to give Christmas
presents to those who deserved them"
Monty's way was now clear. II his
friends meant to handicap him with
gifts he knew a way to get even. For
two weeks his mornings were spent at
Tiffany's. and the afternoons brought
joy to the heart of every dealer in an
tiquities in Fourth and Fifth avenues.
He gave much thought to the matter
in the effort to secure many small ar
ticles which deliberately concealed their
