LADY LEDYARD'S
LIoUEUR SET

girl on earth.
The wedding was one of the smartest
functions that ST. Georges, Hanover
sighed with envy as they read the list
of splendid wedding presents and the
names of the distinguished guests But
the good natured friends, who are always
to the fore on these occasions, shook
their heads, and limited that it was toe
good to last; while their feminine coun-
terparts murmured to one another, that
Sir Fulton Ledyard was "far too good
looking to be trusted very far, my dear"
But Doriel Ledyard tossed her head
and went smiling on her way, secure in
the fact that she possessed a husband
who adored her, and without bothering
herself over the remote possibility of
his ever showing signs of faltering in
his allegiance. She had a lovely house
in Mayfair, and after four years of ex-
ceptionally happy married life, she
| found herself the possessor of two beau
tiful children--a boy and girl.
One evening Lady Ledyard had box
at the Carlton theater, where Miss Ag-
meta Vandeleur was appearing in the
title role of the highly popular musical
comedy, THE Golden Goddess.
| Miss Agneta Vandeleur was the foot
| light favorite of the moment Her tooth
some grin smirked at one from the win
dow of every photographers and pic
re-postcard shops. Men smoked the
Agneta Vandeleur cigarette, and women
wore the Agneta Vandeleur corset.
Neither Sir Fulton Ledyard nor his
wife had seen her before, and they were
| both quite charmed with the beauty of
her face and figure, and the dainty grace
of her acting.
| Doriel Ledyard was far too clever to
indulge in the usual feminine game of
trying to belittle the charm of girl
whose beauty might possibly be regard
ed as rival to her own.
a fortnight later she was Just little
bit surprised when he mentioned his in
tention of going to the next fancy dress
bali at Covent garden. But it was part
of her scheme of matrimonial life never
to interfere with her husbands plans,
nor to cross examine him for condolences
that We're not volunteered and it GER
tainly did not occur to her to trace any
connection between this incident and his
openly expressed admiration of the
golden goddess.
It was, nevertheless. the case that
| Fulton Ledyard's motive for going to
Covent garden was a hope of meeting
Miss Agneta Nandeleur there; and as
the hope was ba sed ON extremely good
information, elected by liberal appli-
cation OF palm oil in the right quarter
he was not doomed to disappointment.
As usually happens, however, the lady
in question was the last to hear of her
husbands infatuation. She heard a few
vague rumors. and she noticed that Full
ton was favoring her with rather less
of his company than usual: but she had
never attached any importance to any
thing Of this kind before, and it did not
occur 30 her to begin then
A mere chance, however. quite acct
ldentally revealed to her the fact that
something was going on. She was do
ing little shopping in Regent street
one afternoon, when, without any par
ticular design in her head. she turned
into the Goldsmiths company's estab-
hshment to look at some of the pretty
PARTICLES of jewelry that are always on
view there.
While she was looking at some very
dainty bracelets, one of the managers
of the establishment approached. and
remarked, with a smile, 81 hope vour
ladyship was pleased with the liqueur set
that we sent home for you last week"
THE liqueur set?" she said, interro-
gatively.
"Yes, my lady. The set in gold and
crysta! that Sir Fulton ordered for you
last week.
"Of COURSE" said Lady Ledyard,
brightly. 81 was perfectly delighted
with it. In fact, / like it so much that
| want you to get me another set exact
ly like it for a friend of mine who is
going out to india"
Certainly, my lady; certainly" purred
the manager. booking the order in a
notebook. 1T shall he ready for Won
without fail at the beginning of next
week. You would like it booked. of
course, to Sir Fulton Ledyard's account -
Nes. please assented Lady Ledyard.
And kindly let me know when it is
ready, as | should like to call for it NV

The next night she took the oppor-
/, tunlty of paying another visit to the
Carlton theater. Just to have another
look at Miss Agneta Nandeleur; but She
never limited to her husband by word or
look that she had even an inkling of his
Irritation with the golden goddess.
"Oughtnt We to think about GIVING
another big dinner party" she remarked
r casually. to her husband, the next dav
t and. as usual. he at once agreed entbp-
: siasticaly with her suggestion.
All right, then, will get the invita-
tons sent out for this day fortnight"
That will suit me perfectly, DARLING +"
