Tony was very busy just then, hay

by the first train in the morning. But
he secretly commissioned an under
study to be at AleXander's when the
red restaurant should open it's doors
to order breakfast and while seeming
to eat to sketch the new English
waiter. The understudy was not to

A persistent ringing of the telephone
in Fanny Millions bedroom walked her
out Of a delightful dream.
She was on shipboard again. 1t was
moonlight, and Lord Loveland was
telling her that he really cared a great
deal more for her than for Lesley
Dearmer. She confessed that she
liked him, too. and he was just asking
her to come and reign over Loveland
castle as we'll as his heart when the
distant though disturbing notes of an
amateur concert in the music room Of
the Mauretania turned definitely into
the shrill burr of that wretched tele-
phone. The dream broke like a rain
bow bubble. and Fanny sat up in bed.
disappointed with life.
She seated herself by the telephone
and snatched up the receiver as if she
were going to shake it. But she soon
settled down to an absorbing interest
in the give and take of conversation
with the instrument.
"Helio!" she said. 'Who are you?
Oh, Elmer Coolidge what? Why,
Elinor Coolidge. you don't mean it

"Oh. Elinor, l think it would be hor-

martyrs eaten up by lions. 1 believe
you were a Roman woman in another
state of existence. / won't talk about
it any more. You can ring up nam.

Down went the receiver, and back
scrambled little Fanny Milton into her
lavender scented bed, shivering, not
with cold, but with emotion. Her tel
ephone vas silent at last. but she could
not find her way into the dream again.
The door Of that dream was shut for
ever, and Fanny was not jealous even
Of Lesley Dearmer now.
Elinor Coolidge's first thought after
reading Tony Kids very entertaining
story in the New York Light went no
further than the fun of paying a visit
to Alexander the Greats and being
