the deserted salon a few min

His graceful walk was not wholly
steady, and there was a flush on the
handsome young face. The late ar
rival was Prince Danilo of Marsovia,
attache of the Marsovian legation at
Paris. AS a diplomat he had scarcely
scored a success, for he had a delight
fully normal aversion to work and a
simple, unfailing JOY in the amuse-
ments of Maxim's and his clubs.

"Including love?' he asked, his eyes
d%eyouring her fragile beauty.

Sonia. "All men are alike. Dozens of

love to me because they can't get 1t

"Men are not all fortune hunters"
he denied holly. 81 for one"-

"They doY" cried Danilo, in rage at
the strong insinuation. "Well, here's
one that doesn't. l for one shall never
say to you, 4 love your"
A strange smile stole across her face.
She came very close to where he stood;
so close that the faint perfume of her
hair was sweet In his nostrils; so close
that her breath was warm upon his
lips; so close that his bewildered soul
struggled In vain to hide from the glory
In her eyes. Her voice was a musical
whisper as she asked:
you'll neve say to me 7 love your"
There was an ininity Of allurement
In the tempting words. Danilo, with a
mighty effort, shook off the spell and
shouted:
"Neverl Never! Neverr
"That's a comfort!' she said coldly,
drawing away and seeking to veil her
keen disappointment. 'But," she added
more softly, "why not say it If you

II don't want to-" he declared sulki-
ly.
"And you promise faithfully you'll
never say to me, L love your"
Again she was p~erilously close to
him. Again his eyes tore themselves
free from the pleading seduetiveness of
hers as he reiterated:
II promised I'm not going to make a
fool of myself or be made a fool Of"
as that a declaration Of warp
queried Sonia.
"No-of friendship. Do you mean

Probably. All men are alike"
''They are not, and In time I'll prove

into the room. At first opportunity
Popof drew Danilo aside.

 Scenes in the parks during this month of flowers suggest the idea that the young people of today are reviS- ing customs of the oldcn time that not long since seemed i'll danger of being quite forgotten. Early May, which is the season when the buds begin to open and the flowers of the field and forest are fresh and of most delicate fra grance, has long been observed by fete% of some kind. The ancient Romans had their Florala. or floral games, Oil the 2Sth of April and several days fol- lowing In more modern. times the English have been famous for their Maying festivities.
