The Way It Began.

IL mdheS me angry every JiulS
think how ! tried to make that
dinner a success. / cancelled a
theater engagement, and l took
the Mercer girls in the electric
brougham father had given me
for Christmas Their chauffeur
had been gone for hours with
their machine. and they had tele-
phoned all the police stations
without success. They were afraid
that there had been an awful
smash: they could easily have re-
placed Bartlett, as Lollie said, but
it takes so long to get new parts
for those foreign cars.
Jim had a house we'll uptown,
and 1t stood just enough apart
from the other houses to be en-
tirely maddening later. 1t was a
three-story affair, with base
ment kitchen and servants din
ing-room. Then, OF course, there
were cellars, as we found out aft
erward. On the first floor there
was a large square hall, a formal
reoeption-room, behind 1t a big
|living-room that was also a IL
brary, then den, and back of
all Georgian dining-room, with
windows high above the ground.
I0n the top floor Jim had a stu
dio, like every other one I ever
saw-perf1ps a little mussier.
Jim was really grind at his
painting, and there were cigarette
ashes and palette knives and buff
falo rugs and shields everywhere.
1t is strange, but when I think of
that terrible house, I always see
the halls, enormous, covered with
heavy rugs, and stairs that would
have taken six housemaids to
keep in proper condition. 1 dream
about those stairs, stretching
above me In a Jacobs ladder of
shining wood and Persian carpets,
going up, up, clear to the roof.
The Dallas Browns walked;
they lived in the next block. And
they brought with them man
named HARRISON. that no one
knew. Anne said he would be
great sport, because he was terri
bly, serious, and had the most e&-
aggerated ideas of society, and
loathed extravaganza, and built
bridges or something. She had
put away her cigarettes since he
had been with them-he and Dali
las had been college friends-and
the only chance she had to smoke
was when she was getting her
hair done. And she had singed
off quite a 1ot-a burnt offering,
she called It.

telephone, when I invited her, al

crazy about you. That type of
man, big and deadly earnest, al
ways falls in love with your type
of girl. the appealing sort, you
know. And he has been too
busy, up to now, to know what
love is. But mind, don't hurt
him: he's dear boy. I'm half
in love with him myself, and
Dallas trots around at his heels
like a poodle"
But all Anne's geese are
swans, SO I thought little of the
HARRISON man except to hope that
he played respectable bridge, and
wouldn't mark the cards with a
steel spring under his finger nail,
as one of her "finds" had done.
We all arrived about the same
time, and Anne and / went up
stairs together to take off our
wraps in what had been Bella's
