CHAPTER XVI.
The Musicale Program.


The duchess ran Dan, made plans,
set the pace, and they were very much
in evidence during the season. The
young American, good-natured and
generous, the duchess beautiful and
knowing, we're The observed Of Lon
don, and those Of her friends who
would have tolerated Dan on account
of his money, ended by sincerely ik-
ing him. The wedding-day had not
been fixed as yet, and Dan was not so
violently carried away that he could
not wait to be married. Meanwhile
Gordon Galorey thanked God for the
delay and hoped for q miracle to
break the spell over his friends son
before it should be too late. In early
May the question came up regarding
the musicale. The duchess made her
list and arranged the Sunday after
noon and her performers to suit her
taste, and the week before lounged in
her boudoir when Dan and Galorey
appeared for a late morning call
There, Dam" she said, holding out
bit of paper, '1ook at the list and
the program, will your"

mented Dan handing it on to Galorey.
Besides being an artistic event, she
intended that the concert should serve
to present Dan to her special set. She
now lit a cigarette and gave one to
each of her friends, lighting the Eng
lishman's herself
"The best names I'll London" Lord
Galorey said you see, Dan, we shall
trot you out in a royal way. [ hope
you fully appreciate how swagger this
is to be-"
CHANGING at the list Blair remarked:
"But [ don't see MISC Lanes name?"
"Why should your" the duchess an
swered sharply.
"Why, we planned all along that
she was to sing" he returned
She gave a long punf to her cigar
cite.
eve did rather speak of it. But we
shall do very we'll as we are. The
program is full up and it's perfectly
ripping as it stands"
Yes, there's only just one thing the
matter with it," the boy smiled good
naturally, "and it's easy enough to
run her in. 1 guess Miss Lane could
be run in most anywhere on any pro-
gram and not clear the house"
Lord Galorey, who knew nothing
about the subject under discussion,
said tactfully: why, of course, Lefty
Lane is perfectly charming, but you
couldn't get her, my dear chap"
II think we will let the thing stand
as it is" said the duchess, going back
TO her desk and stirring her paper
about. TITS really too late now, you
know, Dan"
Unruffed, but with a determination
which I ord Calorey and the lady were
far from guessing, E.-,.G resumed tran

ooh, 1 5ue55 ell come in al right,

The duchess turr~d to him, annoy

you are not re lily serious"
Dan still smi,c1 at her sweetly

She rang a bell at the side of her
desk and when tn footman came in
gave him the sheet of paper. 'See
that this is taken at once to the sta
toner's"
Better wait, Lily"-her fiance ex
tended his hand-"until the program
is filed out the way it is going to
stand" And Blair fixed his handsome
eyes on his future wife. "Why, we got
this shindig up" he noted irreverent
ly, Gust so Miss Lane could sing al
It."
Nonsense" she cried, angry and
powerles, ''you ridiculous creature!
Fancy me getting up a musicale fol
Lefty Lane! Do tell Dan to stop both
ering and fussing, Gordon. He's toe
ridiculous!"
"And Lord Galorey said: what is
the row anyway"
why, want Miss Lane to sing here
on Sunday" Dan explained. =.
And don't want her." finished the
Duchess of B1eakwater, who was evi
