ments and so Familiarity cordial that Kitty
almost took heart and hoped that the UNI
expected might happen. The party in the
little parlor, just off the private dining room,
was already sight to move older hands
than Kitty to enthusiasm. The Duke and
his cousin, Captain Montagu- Reeves were
in those ravishing little scarlet mess Jackets
and gold-braided black trousers; number
OF naval officers and couple Of army men
looked natty and natural in their plumage;
there was general of militia in plenitude
OF gold lace; and nice assortment Of cap
talns and lleutenants and things in various
distinctive uniforms from hussars to grena-
diers.
In the dressing room Kitty met Mrs.
lindale, rosily impressive in black satin
and Jet, with chaste assortment of proper
jewelry.
Dear Mrs Tindale," she exclaimed,
you look perfectly charming younger
than ever"
Sweet of you, DEAR" said the widow,
concealing her annoyance. One has to
look ones best in such distinguished COM
pany, you know. And then I'm on the
staff, as it were. I'm to go in with Major
Dillon, and he's the ranking militia officer
here, after General Talbot.
Kitty could not keep the color from rising
to her checks. "Indced!" she cried, rather
shrilly. I'm SO glad, Mrs. Tindale. Major
Dillon isn't the most brilliant sort of dinner
companion, of course, but one likes to be in
the van, doesn't one. l never really care
how or where 60 in, but know most
everyone is awfully keen about precedence.
Yet its frightfully un-American, isn't itp"
The widow noted the agitation of the girl
with amusement and smiled patronizingly.
When you've been out little longer,
dear" she said, you'll value precedence
more highly. fancy ! was pleased, at your
age, with just something to eat and some
one to talk to"
Kitty looked in the envelope the maid
had handed her. Mr. Wyeth is taking me
in" she said, affecting tone of pleased
surprise.
He's not here yet, /" said the widow.
Kitty shuddered with fear and the recol-
lection of her last scene with Billy. "Well, 1"
she said lightly, if he doesn't condescend
to come, suppose can have tea and toast
in the nursery"
Out in the parlor again it was yet gayer
and everyone seemed to have arrived except
Wyeth.

Billy Wyeth isn't here in five minutes, said
Kitty to her father.

Of mind, Kitty protested Mr.. Cowles.
Everybody is in splendid humor and you
mustn't do anything to mar the occasion.

deck. Il don't see how you people can
stand all this wind" she protested. Its
warm and pleasant in the cabin and can
see everything splendidly from the win
dows, but all the rest are up forward and
l haven't anyone to tell me about the ships
and things"
HIM, said the Major, it is a bit
breezy out here for an old chap Miss Kitty,
if you'll excuse me, I'll join Mrs. Tindale in
the cabin. "
Kitty flushed dangerously. ooh, don't
mind me, she cried. "Im awfully tired
really like to be alone for while"
So she sat alone for while and it was
rather new experience She marveled at
the thought of Kitty Cowles sitting on the
after deck of yacht alone, with party of
supposedly sane people on the same yacht.
After while Billy Wyeth came along the
deck
81 hope you are in a better humor now"
said Kitty. Where's the cushion sent
you for1"
ooh, pardon me, I forgot it, said Billy,
none too CALAMITY. Eve been talking with
Minnie Ryder. She's a jolly girl, isn't
she?"
"Oh, awfully," said Kitty. al don't see
why you left her."
Thought you might be lonely" he said,
dropping into the chair vacated by the
Major.
I've not been alone long, she said
Mrs Ilndale-dear old thing -mercifully
came along and took the Major away as I
was about to expire"
When looked out here few minutes
ago you were talking to the Major quite
animatedly for one about to expire,'' re-
marked Wyeth pointedly.
81 was defending you," said Kitty indig-
nantly. "The Major was expressing disgust
over your going to the Duke of Halbert-
stones military dinner without having any
decent military excuse"
She hoped to make him indignant, but he
laughed heartily. Sufficient unto the
day." he said. "The dinner hasn't come
off yet, and may astonish the Major"
Ktty's eyes frightened. "What are you
going to do, Billy2 she demanded hopefully.
He smiled mysteriously
You are always playing unexpected
tricks, Billy. You nearly broke the poor
old Majors heart the day you stole the
Duke from his party. Do tell me what you
are going to do this time? l can keep a
secret"
Promise not to tell?" asked Wyeth.
Gross my hearth" whispered Kitty, with
sparkling eyes.
"Well," said Wyeth portentously, at
am going to the dinner as gentleman,
and that's something they can't all do.''
Kitty was pink with anger instantly,
That's a pretty poor joke she said
scornfully. Perhaps you're hitting some

that can stand the strain" he said cts
wonderful what man can stand from an
awfully pretty girl. .
She almost smiled II wouldn't be
horrid, she said, yielding point, if you
were not such an absurdly inconsistent man.
We all thought you were a hammered
young nobody for a while and then you
turned out to be 'bloomin' aristocrat,
almost too swell for any use; and now you
condescend to go around with a lot of mill
tary men and titled foreigners, and they all
make fun of you because you think it's
smart to scorn a commission and tramp
along the street with gun on your Shout
der. You know that's the worst form of
snobbery. Your indifference to rank is an
affectation"
Wyeth still smiled maddeningly. II am
afraid, Kitty" he said that you are
chiefly concerned over your very real dan

Grace's party by mere man, trailing along
after all the highly decorated wax-works.
I'll stay away altogether if you wish it,"
"Please do just as you feel inclined.
know you will, anyway. It'll really make
no difference to me whether you're at the
dinner or not. | don't believe we like each
other as much as we did, anyway"
My dear Kitty" he said, II assure YOU
my feelings are quite unchanged You are
really very disagreeable and annoying, but
from. my slight knowledge of your sex
have some hope that you will recover from
this spell of tinsel hero-worship and return
to your more lovable moods. lust now I
think I'll go back to Minnie Ryder, who
treats me quite humanely."
"Oh do! by all MEANS" she cried.
I'm going in, anyway. Pm going to
find that nice old widow. / begin to
think she's the only really decent person
aboard"
Until late in the afternoon of the day of
the Duke of Halbertstone's dinner, Kitty
vowed that she was too ill to go; but as the
evening drew near, under the caustic taunts
of none too patient father, she made
wonderful recovery and an equally wonder
full toilet. She warned her maid, as the
latter put the finishing touch to a dainty
jeweled aigret in her hair, that the officers
who did not take her in to dinner must be
made to regret that they had not the priv
ilege.
AS Mr. Cowles and his radiant daughter
entered the Hotel Monaton, the first person
they encountered was Major Dillon, re-
splendent as a military tailor could make
him. He was in fine fettle and had appar-
emily quite forgotten the thorough snubbing
he had suffered at Halbertstone's hands at
the Thousand Islands, being one of those
fortunate mortals whom the gods have fur
nished with mysterious armor against the
penetration of snubs, enabling them to arise
serenely again and again to offer their
invulnerable breasts to the most merciless
snubbers.
The Major was SO lavish with compli-
