young spring found Wilfrid firmly
seated in the society saddle; fairly
launched on his career as one of the
jeunesse doree; popular alike with
men and with women; invited every
where, and apparently as happy as
the day is long.
True, thus far he had not realized
any of his pet projects, except to lay
the keel of fine schooner-yacht-he
had been too busy socially-but there
was, as he told himself, plenty of
time.
Nor must it be inferred that the
glamour of these newer interests COM
pletely eclipsed the memory and
the influence of Eunice Trevecca.
Throughout that winter Wilfrid was a
constant and even regular visitor in
far-away old Greenwich.
To the girl he carried full accounts
Of his social progress, sketched for
her his constantly widening circle Of
friends and acquaintances, and spread
his daily life before her like an open
page. Thus far there had been no
subterfuges, no secrets between them.
And if. as was to be expected, he
| developed little of the exquisite in
dress, and became a trifle dandified in
manner, affecting or having acquired
the society drawl and a new style of
hand-shake, which he unsuccessfully
endeavored to transplant to the arid
and awkward soil of Macdougal street.
to Eunice and her stepfather he was
the same old unaffected, generous
Wilfrd of former days. In only one
thing had he failed in perfect faith;
he had never told Miss Passavant of
his conditional betrothal to Eunice
| Trevecca-never so much as men,
toned her name Somehow Eunice
OWNED this. True, there were ex-
cuses for him, and it was partly her
fault; by her own act Wilfrid had
been left foot-loose. Had it been
otherwise, the chances are that he
would have acquainted Clara Passa-
want with the true state of affairs
very early in their intimacy. Later it
became more difficult.
The faded old parlor and sitting
room ran riot in flowers, and many a
dainty keepsake found it's way to
Eunice. But with woman's inconsis-
! tency she wished with all her heart
that Wilfrid had shown himself more
masterful, refusing to let her put him
off, even for probationary year
At first Wifi honestly tried to main
tain the old lover-like relations, but
was so uniformly though good-natured-
ly repulSed that at length he gave up
trying. He little knew that poor
Eunice cried herself to sleep the first
time he omitted to kiss her good-by
Yet it was by her own wish and
mandate that matters between them
took this course. Then came the fire.

SOFT, White HANDS

For preserving the hands as we'll
is for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps
For those who work in corrosive
liquids. or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable.
Treatment-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in a strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment. and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or light ban
dage of old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands. dry, fis-
sured, itching. feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective.

the first time in her life Eunice was
horribly jealous. 1t was no longer
Cherchez la femme, she felt. but La
femme est trouvee!
And so you and this Miss Passa-
want are coming to be great friends?"
said Eunice one night as they sat to-
gether, though not in the old familiar
way.
81 wish you could meet her!" he ex-
claimed enthusiastically; Il feel sure
you would like each other"
What makes you imagine that"
inquired Eunice demurely, threading
an obstinate needle with ostentatious
care.
"Oh, because-well, partly because
you are so unlike each other"
Don't be too sure!" said Eunice
vindictively. For my part. believe
we should scratch each others eyes
cut!'
Wifi looked at the usually gentle
Eunice in polite astonishment. Then
he laughed, for his social training had
already taught him a thing or two.
oh, ho, scu ht
confidently. women don't do things
in that way. II you were introduced
you would both take little steps, bend.
ing forward in the latest mode: you
would approach each other smiling
sweetly; you'd dab her on one cheek.
| and she'd peck you on the other. and
you would both say: Delighted to
know you: Mr.. Stennis has often
spoken of you. What lovely weather
we are having!'-all in the key of
B-hat major with the tremolo stop
way out"
Eunice could not but laugh at this
clever little skit. but in her heart she
adhered to the belligerent part of the
program.
Tell me, what is she like?" she
said by way Of answer.
81 have Just told you," rejoined
wifi; you are complete opposites
For instance, she is very fair you are
dark; she is all artificial polish and
society veneer, you are as genuine
and simple as a wood-violet; she
thinks OF nothing but dress and
money and the social whirl. OF seeing
and being seen. you are a perfect
home-body."
THAT isn't what wanted to know. +"

Now, women can never comprehend
that a man may honestly eulogize or
admire another woman from a purely
impersonal standpoint, without being
in love with her or even markedly at
tracted by her; in talking of woman
to most women, therefore, 1t is always
safe for man to damn with faint
praise" Here was where wifi made
bad play.

ately II should say she was very
handsome woman. She has been per
fectly charming to me all winter, and
SO has her father In fact, don't

her pain.
"In a way-yes; she Is very good
pianist; she can talk Interestingly on
most subjects; she has been every
where and seen everything. She tells
me l must go abroad"
Isn't that what you always wanted
to do?" queried Eunice, her head bent
over her work to hide the tears that
would come.
Certainly. / am thinking of taking
the yacht across with a party this
summer; the Passavants have prom
ised to go. And that reminds me,
Eunice; the launching takes place
next week. Won't you and your
father run down to Bristol? How
would you like to christen her? You
may if you want to-"
mo thank you," said Eunice very
stifiy; you would better ask Miss
Passavant." And to Wilfrid's aston
ishment, John Trevecca coming in at
that instant, the girl pleaded head
ache and abruptly said goodnight.
In the seclusion of her own cham
ber she threw herself on the little
white bed, sobbing out the words:
He has never told her! He has
never told her!"
The launching took place as an
nounced. in the presence of gay as
semblage who went to Bristol on a
special train by invitation of the
young nabob. Moreover, Clara Passa-
want broke the bottle of champagne
and spoke the magic words, Il name
thee Kestrel." All of which reached
the eye of Eunice through the news
papers.
Wilfrid planned to sail as soon as
the yacht was fitted out, and he was
naturally very busy and thoroughly
in his element, for he had always
loved the water. He called but once
on Eunice in those few weeks. but
the woman-servant said she was out
which caused him to wonder If the
conventional tarradiddle was becom-
ing acclimated in Macdougal street.
He decided to write to her, but kept
putting it off, until at last he grew
little bit ashamed of his neglect,
and SO made bad worse by writing
not at all.
On the 10th day of May the Kes-
trel set sail for the Azores with her
owner and party of congenial
friends aboard. and for two years his
native land managed to get along
without Wilfrid Stennis, although far
away in the west men were toiling
and moiling. piling up more millions
to replenish those squandered or
spent in the gay quest of pleasure.
