wonderful what man can stand from an
awfully pretty girl
She almost smiled II wouldn't be
horrd," she said, yielding point, 'if you
were not such an absurdly inconsistent man.
We al thought you were nice-mannered
young nobody for while, and then you
turned out to be a 'bloomin' aristocrat,
almost too swell for any use; and now you

tary men and titled foreigners, and they all
make fun of you because you think it's
smart to scorn a commission and tramp

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, i 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. Just now |
think I'll go back to Minnie Ryder, who
treats me quite humanely."
''Oh, do by all MEANS" she cried.

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 i'll 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
ful toilet She warned her maid, as the
latter put the finishing touch to 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
iIege.
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-
entity quite forgotten the thorough snubbing
he had suffered al Halbertstones hands at
the Thousand Islands, being one of those
fortunate mortals whom the gods have fur
.lishcd with mysterious armor against the
penetration Of snubs, enabling them to arise
sorenely again and again to offer their
invulnerable breasts to the most merciless
snubhers

almost took heart and hoped that the un
expected might happen. The party in ths

was already sight to move older hand:

and gold braided black trousers; a number
OF naval officers and a couple of army men
looked natty and natural in their plumage;
there was general of militia in plenitude
OF gold lace; and a nice assortment of cap
tains and lieutenants and things in various
distinctive uniforms from hussars to grena-
diers.
In the dressing room Kitty met Mrs.
Tindale, 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. lone 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 cheeks. "Indeed!" she cried, rather
shrilly. "I'm so glad, Mrs Tindale. Major
Dillon isn't the most brilliant sort of dinner

Yet it's frightfully un-American, isn't it2"
I 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. -
"Hes not here yet" said the widow
Kitty shuddered with fear and the recol-
lection of her last scene with Billy. "Well,"
she said lightly, "if he doesn't condescend
to come, suppose can have tea and toast
in the nursery" ms
Out in the parlor again it was yet gayer
and everyone seemed to have arrived except
Wyeth.
Il shall have headache and 60 home, if
Billy Wyeth isn't here in five minutes, said
Kitty to her father.
Now don't get yourself into such state
of mind, Kitty" protested Mr.. Cowles
Everybody is in splendid humor and you
mustn't do anything to mar the occasion.
Wyeth is an irresponsible young dog, but
