drawn her close to his heart.

And 50, when Constance Fraser entered
the room a lieds while later, she found
the two sitting tsgethe-, and learned that
as soon as everything could be arranged
the young couple wero ready to start.
With smiles and deepest blessings. they
took their departure a few days later.
Audrey bought present for Jean in ev-
cry foreign town she visited, aad when
the season was ever Jack had promised
she should have her POOR little school
frieHI to stay with her for Ms le,g as she
liked.
They had not settled where they would
live permanently, but they were both in
clined to Craiglands. Lord Iverne was
going to be taken abroad by his mother to
some mineral waters. and tho poor fell

and his bride wouA make Craislapds
their home for a time

had said, and Jack hadanot told her taat
Mrs. Fraser would no longer inhabt Din
glewood House. He felt that it would
give her so much pain. and, besides, he
was so ashamed and angry with Sheila
for her cruel conduct, that he determined
not to discuss her just yet.
: There was 10 need to let Audrey
know how Sheila had behaved, for Mrs.
Fraser would go to Cronberg with the
Duchess Of Marlborough, and would in
all probability reside abroad for a few
months.
Audrey exclaimed with pleasure as
they drove into the pretty grounds at
Hurlinsham, and was 80 lost in gazing
at them that she wGs quite unconscious

the John Glendurwood marriage. and now
the sight OF the young mans handsome
and well-known face revived the curl

These and dozens Of quick questions and
remarks OF the like sort ran liSss wiafre
through the thronS.
Jack WIS very calm. He lifted his
t.a-t.h. down and gave a few dire tiOns
to the groom. while Audrey looked around
her, a picture of exquisite simplicity and
unsurpassable loveliness in her soft white
silk dress, with a little high white bon
net crowning her dark locks. She was
not only beautiful, she was that most
desired of all things. good form"
From head to foot her attire was per-

superintended this, and had chosen moth

dresses.

quite easily The strains of the band
sounded pleasantly in her cars, and she

waiting for her to come. The duchess
bent toward Constance Fraser.
My dear" she said, warmly and ten

She is perfect; look at her walk, at her
