S. DENLY extended tiny, exquis-
ely gloved hand.
You lazy gGod-for-nothlng, what
ave YOU h'sn ca.ng with yourself?
Ey Eav. ! you been around?"
4 an married now" drawled the
Dung man.
Poor little boy! And is she jeal-
Cvs?"
She has had no cause as yet"
The crowd fell away. Mrs. DENLY
had fashion of talking tete-a-tete to
her men while in the public gaze,
which perforce silenced all gossip, at
the same time giving her the oppor-
tunity to say what she liked.
Let's give her dance, then" she
challenged him.
Alertness flashed into the young
mans eyes. AS bachelor Mrs DENLY
! had passed him by
Are you trying to make somebody
jea-ous?" he demanded
What do you care?" Her smile was
provocative.
Are you prepared for scandal?
Mrs. Wind,er, good soul, does not be-
long TO US little Bit
She looks completely middle-class,"
unused Mrs. DENLY. Il think you can
trust ne not to go too far. Take me
over and introduce me now"
Lillian grew red-faced with delight at
meeting the Mrs. Daniel DENLY.
Il want you to dine with me some
night next week." said that lively lit.
tie matron. Make it Monday and we
will do the play afterwards. l shall
call tomorrow, Mrs. Windler. I've
been meaning to come for ever so
long, but you know how one gets
cat ght in the whirl of things at this
| season. What have you been doing to
Marsden, he is looking better than
ever? Don't forget Monday" and with
an imperceptible movement she
brought two other men to her side and

Lillian chartered like a maybe as
| they chugged home in their new, shin
ing great French motor.
How perfectly charming she is!
Such an air! So distinguished! I'm
sure shall like her immensely. 1 feel
that we are going to be huge friends"
Marsden, watching her glowing coun-
tenance, smiled sardonically.
Mrs. DENLY never has women
| friends" he retorted
We'll, she can be friends with you,
then, that will answer the same pur-
pose.'
Three months later Colorado
Springs society was agog with excite
ment. For the first time in her tri-
umphant career Mrs. Daniel DENLY
was INDUCING in serious affair.
Marsden Windler was thoroughly
awake. He had to be to keep up.
They went everywhere together, and
people said they spent all the time
there was left, alone.
Mr.. DENLY was reported to have fed
for foreign parts after delivering his
ultimatum, at which Mrs. DENLY had
snapped her thin little fingers.
Sympathy swerved towards Mrs.
Windler.
Poor little creature, she undoubted-
ly married him for love, and he is
cold -blooded brute" Thus spoke the
women.
Pretty little thing. Marsden ought
to be horsee Aipped. Think of the
money she bro 1t him, and how easy
he is living" said the men.
Meanwhile Lillian went everywhere.
She had penetrated to the innermost
by were a bit cool towards one an
other, but Mrs. Charley French was
her most intimate friend and villified
Marsden as cordially as any injured
wife could wish.
Then one day there came to the
Springs an easterner of note, the son
of financial earl, the hard-riding,
polo-playing Godfrey Dull.
Mrs. Daniel DENLY, restless, world
weary, ever seeking a new sensation,
found an interest in the newcomer.
Your clothes are truly remarkable,
and your accent is positively exciting"
she told the young man. Lets play
around together"
In the discussion of Mrs. Denby's
latest the Windlers were almost for
gotten.
people are not bit nice any
more" complained Lillian I've been
left out of ever SO many things lately
Why weren't you clever enough to
keep in with Mrs. Daniel?''
Il might make up to Mrs French"
Marsden suggested.
You might as WELL" returned Lillian,
coldly. Il am going to get divorce"
Good heavens! What do you want
of divorce when the crisis is past?'
you are only an impeachment in my
career. People do not approve of you,
and Taylor Lefferts wants to marry
me- He is so far in that people have
got to consider his wife,"
HE is no end hard up, too. 1t will
be a good thing for you both"
Mrs. Wilder stared at her husband
in surprise.
