"Yes, mademoiselle, your teeth will
chatter tonight-on the dresser"
To another, a portly lady who af-
fected the airs of a girl, he said in his
most silken tones:
"My dear madame. l must tell you
of a splendid remedy for getting thin
Il don't want to get thin!" the port
ly one replied Indignantly as she
fiounced away from him.
Olga waited impatiently for an OPP
p~ortunity TO withdraw with Mlllar
into a secluded place, where she
might listen to him while he told her
the things that she did not dare tell
herself. The evening had grown late,
however, and Karl had arrived before
she could get away from her guests.
Karl had tried to avoid a tete-a-tete
with Olga, and she took the first OPP
portunity of introducing him to Elsa.
She rebelled In her soul now at the
thought OF their marriage, but her
will drove her to the fulhllment of her
purpose, to that extent at least. But
it was with a heart torn with jealousy
that she watched Karl and Elsa move
off together and turned to meet Millar.

The others did not speak, but Elsa
turned boldly to Millar.
"Don't f1atter yourself that l am
afraid of you," she said. 81 would say

The others seemed tremendously in

impaired, and Elsa was embarrassed
She knew the design of her friend
Olga in bringing her and Karl togeth-
err, but she was not aware that 1t was
known to any one else. Millar smiled
as be replied:
"Of course. They would throw you
into his arms"
While the others who overheard
laughed at this sally and Elsa blushed
furiously, Millar went close to her and
said:
II must speak to you alone. l win
send these people away. Leave it to
me-"
Elsa drew away, and there was a 81,
lence in the room. The others began
to feel uncomfortable as Millar looked
slowly from one to the other of them.
One or two essayed conversation, and
his cutting, insolent replies sent them
scurrying from the room. In a few
moments only he and Elsa remained
In the apartment. From the adjoining
ballroom came the strains of music
and the sound of dancing and bright
laughter. Millar locked at Elsa.

Pooh. ! don't see why every one

NO, no; don't go near him." Kari
begged.
And why not? Has be such a sharr,
tongue or an evil mind? I can take
care of myself
II don't really think you ought to
meet him. Karl said. but he spoke
without conviction. He suddenly yield

come of a meeting between Elsa and

Il don't care; I'm going to hunt him

A number of the company had assem-

ensued that he had been the subject Of

that the ma was amused.
IL love him." she declared.
"And take this also" Mlllar said
handing her a little mirror. then a
powder puff and a tiny stick of rouge.
Elsa could not help smiling through
her tears at the absurdity oil it as she
dabbed and busted her tear stained
face, looking at herself In the LITTLE
mirror, until all traces of her weeping
were removed.
so this is the far famed Saucy
Elsa" Millar said as he watched her.
mo, 1t isn't" she said rebelliously.
when ! came here tonight | was a
young, saucy girl. Now | am a nerv-
GUS old woman. What shall | do?''
whatever you do you must not be
discouraged. You must fght-attack
the enemy. But first of all you must
be pretty"
Il shall try" Elsa said d%olefully.
"You must show that woman your
teeth. OF course it is hard for a young
girl to fight a woman" MiIIar went on.
You don't possess so many weapons
as a married woman who knows love
already-who-may / say something
improper
Please do she said, her sauciness
returning, as she held her hands before
her eyes and looked at him through her
fingers.
"A woman who knows all about love
that you have yet to learn"
Il understand" she said.
But don't mind that. Listen. There
is not much sentiment in me, but | am
a man, and | tell you, little girl, you
possess the weapon that will deal the
deathblow to the most attractive, the
most experienced woman in the world.
That weapon is purity"
"Should I listen to all this?" Elsa
asked.
You should not" Millar replied
promptly, but listen just the same. 1t
may help you. And now go dance with
Karl. You must conquer. But don't
try to be a woman. Be a girl. Don't
try to be saucy."
Il don't care to be saucy, but it is so
original" Elsa said contritely.
Don't try to be original" Millar said
earnestly. BE yourself. Be modest.
Be ashamed of your pure white shout
ders. Look at Karl as if you feared he
is trying to steal you away from girl
hood land and show you the way to
woman's land. And If any one ever
dares to call you saucy again tell him
you nee met a gentleman whom you
yanted to give a piece of your mind
and that you left him with a piece IF
his mind. feeling very small indeed
yourself and making him feel as If he
were the biggest rascal in the world"
Elsa turned and went toward the
other room, meeting Karl at the door
as Millar withdrew behind a curtain of
palms.
