There was lreart-break in Viola's
voice that touched Stellas sympathy.

Alvin peered eagerly into the older
womans face, waiting her slow reply.
When 1t came the two young things
hung breathlessly on each word, their
faces growing dull with despair as
the fateful sentence fell.

hand and her voice trembled.
Viola looked up suddenly, wonder,

eyes. She was accustomed to her
mothers fiery sympathy for others;
but this was the first time she had
ever heard her plead for herself. A

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Little Woman in Blue.

Sally B. s ready skill soon had the an
kle rubbed to comparative ease. She
prescribed bed; but Miss Hamilton de-
claged for the banquet even If she
must be carried there, and gladly ac-
cepted Stellas offer of help with the
dressing.
Miss Hamilton's lingerie was hardly
less costly and dainty than my lady's
OF to-day, White silk hose and satin
slippers; multiplied skirts more lace
than cambric; the combination Of lace
and blue silk tissue that was the filmy
little gown--with careful hands Stella
unpacked and laid them, a snowy
heap, on the bed.
The toilet went slowly. Stella had
been taught a decent respect for the
human body; and her innate love of
beauty and order had blossomed into
an honest personal neatness. But
such complicated hair-dressing, such
caressing OF eyebrow and lash; such
critical attention to hands and nails;
the bathing hot and cold; the rub
hing and patting of cheek and arm, be-
fore lotion, powder and a wee touch of
rouge went on; the examinations at
each stage with hand glass and mir

word. 1t might not be the right one,
but her meaning carried, as the
message of the master in spite of poor
instrument and laundering fingers.
The band was playing as they en-.
tered
Stella's quick eye noted with sudden
aversion the three reserved chairs,
and the absence of Alfred and Miss
Hamilton. Let me sit on this side
with you and Viola, won't you, Miss
Sally?" she asked softly.
But there's no seat on this side,

audible.
A gentleman rose at once and of
fered his arm, which Stella accepted
to save further confusion. She was
rosy with embarrassment, though no
other hint of it showed in her stately

walk around the long table. And
Sally B. watched delightedly the fol
lowing of admiring eyes.
Stella was hardly seated when Miss
Hamilton entered, leaning on Alfred's
arm in the dependent style of the
time.
Miss Hamilton had timed her COM
ing to that awkward instant common
to banquets, when all await some in
comprehensive delay, and when any
diversion is welcome. The two walked
slowly down the long room Miss Ham

fectly artful that they seemed artless

A hum of admiration went round,
Stella had not before seen Alfred in
evening dress The night he wore
RomeO's velvet and laces he was
more splendid; but this conventional
dress, finely displaying his slim figure,
belonged TO a world she knew not.
She noticed proudly that he wore his
clothes with an accustomed ease, saw
also that he was the only man in the
room who could fifty escort the dainty
woman who floated by his side, sum
mer cloud in her filmy white draper
les.
Miss Hamilton seated herself de-
murely and exchanged salutations with
the gentleman at her right. Alfred
seized that moment for a word with
Stella.
why didn't you wait for us?
haven't your permission to mention
our engagement, but | wish Miss Anna
possible, Stella"
She thought of herself entering be-
side that perfect pair and was deeply
grateful to the chance that prevented
1t. She noticed Alfred's use of Miss
Hamilton's given name, and the omis-
sion of his usual endearment to her.

dared not be serious. do let her
think the coast clear; it will be such a
fine test of your constancy" she said
with fiippancy astonishing to him.
He was too thoroughly masculine to
fathom the art woman uses to hide
her wound. Neither could he reply
for Miss Hamilton turned to him with
some laughing remark

partitions, blared the popular airs of the
day; sentiment, frolic, pathos; when
