CHAPTER xxi.

C1AI IEh AA1l.
A huge ballroom had been erected on
the lawn, with light, wooden walls, and
one cone shaped roof !; the floor was par
quet, and as smooth as ice; smart mill
tary band was to provide music; supper
was served in another temporary room,
and the drawing room, hall and conserva-
tory were turned into lounge and prom
enade.
Audrey felt quite bewildered as she
found herself in this throng of variously
colored forms. all with the black lace
or silk covering over their faces. She
wished vaguely she had not come, then
that she had Jack with her, or Willie
Fullerton. Suddenly Audrey became
aware that two people were talking close
to her and that they were speaking Of
her.
''They call her beauty !" one woman's
voice said. Audrey could recognize Meth
er of the two. "a small, insignificant
thing like that, with her black hair and
staring white face! Jack Glendurwood
did the worst days work he will ever
do when he married her! What can a
low born and bred girl like that know
about social duties?"
"And yet they say she was great
success in town."
"They say-of course they say So
Well, ask Gladys Daleswater and you
will hear the truth"
"Ah, it was a sad mistake! Such a

Sheila."

Audrey's limbs seemed frozen, her heart
a lump of ice. What was this she had
heard! What horrible nightmare had
come over her! So this was what was
said
"Sheila and Jack I" Again and again
the phrase rang in her ears. "Sheila and
Jack" They had always loved; they
loved now; and she-she, Audrey, the
low-born, low-bred charity girl-she stood
between them.

The student of esthetics testifies to
the trials and delights of her problem.
Her early question was, why do
enjoy poetry or music?" There was
no one who could answer her query

has the students excuse for doing a

Government DISSEMINATING School.
Vienna has always been famed for
it's dressmakers Some women prefer
a gown from Vienna to one from Paris
even. And now the Austrian authori-
ties are taking steps to put the capital
on a higher pedestal in the world of
fashion. The head of the principal
school Of dressmaking there has re-
ceived instructions from the Ministry
of Education to open a special course
for the higher education in the art of
making gowns and all things that ap-
pertain to the clothing of women.
The tuition will be quite free, the
cost being borne by the Ministry of Ed
ucation The course will embrace not
only measuring, cutting out, the draw
ing of patterns and those other subtler
matters which are the essence Of really
high-class dressmaking, but bookkeep-
ing, knowledge Of the trades, acts and
everything, in fact, that is nee
essary to the management Of a large
establishment. And all that Is required
to secure this training il that the ap-
plicant shall have served three years
apprenticeship. The lessons will be
given In the evening.

After Jack had driven away, the two

a few moments.

Audrey was silent for a moment.

in her eyes, why is it that they-they
are so cruel? What have l ever done to
Sheila Fraser or Lady Daleswater that
they should hate me so?'
"You have offended Lady Daleswater
by your beauty and aristocratic bearing
you have made an enemy of Sheila Fraser

Audrey smiled at Jeans grave mimicry
Of Murrays voice.

at the door, and Mr.. Fullerton will be

She followed the black and silver dom
inc down the stairs, and then gave a
great start as Willie sauntered out Of the
smoking room in his ordinary evening
dress.
"Why are you so late? Have you been
sleeping" Jean demanded severely.
Willie colored and stammered out an
excuse.

a headache, T."
"1ou want to stay at home? Certain

so, laughing, Audrey drove away.
Jean stood gazing out after the car

Willie had never seen her look like that
before, and it puzzled him.

most decided success in every
particular. About fifty couples

evening. The decorations of
the hall never showed to more
advantage than they did Mon
Fday evening, the color scheme
of pink, green and white being
carried out in all details. The
stage was transformed into a
scene of beauty, several col

palms making the effect.
Twisted streamers of pink and
white paper were hung from
the corners OF the hall to the
center and each electric light
was strung with the same paper.
The grand march, led by Frank
Ralney and Mrs. Ned Wood, te-

The music, which was excep-

A programme of twenty-four
dances was given, after which
the tired but merry crowd de-
parted for their homes, declar-
