CHAPTER L
The Vanishing Mystery

MORA GILSEY stood on the TIRES
X hold OF her dining room She
had turned her back on it. She
swayed forward. Her bare arms
were lifted Her hands lightly caught
the molding on either side of the door.
She was looking intently into the mir
ror al the other end Of the hail. All
the lights in the dining room were lit,
and she saw herself rather keenly set
against their brilliance. The straight
held head. the lifted arms. the short.
slender waist. the long. long sweep Of
her skirts made her seem taller than
she actually was: and the strong.
bright growth Of her hair and the vi
vacity OF her face made her seem more
deeply colored.
She had poised there for the mere
survey OF a new gown. but after a mo-
ment Offdwelling on her own reflection
she found herself considering it only
as an object in the foreground Of a
picture. That picture. seen through an
open door. reflected in the glass. was
all OF a bright hard glitter. all in a
high, harsh tone OF newness. In its
paneled oak. IN its glare of cut glass
and silver. in the shining. vacant
faces Of its floors and walls, there
was not a color that filed the
eye, not a shadow where imagination
could ind play. AS a background for
herself It struck her as homogeneous.
Like child looking at the landscape
upside down. she felt herself in for
eign country. Yet 1t was hers. She
turned about to bring 1t into familiar
association There was nothing wrong
with IT. But its great capacity sug-
gested large parties rather than close
intimacies. In the high lift Of its cell
Sings, the ample openings Of its doors,
the swept, garnished, polished beauty
Of its cold surfaces. It proclaimed it
self conceived, created and decorated
for large. fine functions. She thought
whimsically that any one who knew
her, coming into her house. would re-
aIize that some one other than herself
had the ordering Of it
She glanced over the table. 1t was
set for three. It lacked nothing but
the serving OF dinner. She looked at
the clock. It wanted a few minutes
20 the hour. Shima. the japanese but
Ter. came in softly with the evening
papers. She took them from him. Moth
ing bored her so much as a paper, but
tonight she knew it contained some
thing she really wanted to see. She
opened one OF the damp sheets at the
page OF sales.
There it was at the head Of the col

he came back with Judge Butler. half
an hour after, it was gone"
Flora leaned forward on her elbows,
chin in hands. No two could have diff
fered more than these two women in
their blondness and their prettiness and
their wonder For Clara was sharp
and pale, with silvery lights in eyes
and hair. and confronted the facts with
an alert and calculating observation;
but Flora was tawny, toned from
brown to ivory through all the gamut
