She smiled at Persis with Spanish
coquetry, and offered her aid in, tht
appalling details Of announcing the en-
gagement. II was the new mode tc
use the telephone for the more init
mate friends. For others there were
letters, calls, advertisements, luncheons,
and dinners. in all the exquisite degrees
of familiarity.
She and Persis were going into busi-
ness for a while on a large scale-a
business for which Persis was peculiar
ly fitted and in which she developed
an extraordinary energy.
When Persis had returned to New
York from the Enslee country place
to fihd her father helpless and detected,
the offer of Willie's aid had acted like
magic elixir. II had meant the pay
ment of old bills, or their enlarge
ment, and the opening of new credits.
Dealers whom the mercantile agencies
had secretly filed with alarm for the
Cabot accounts had been subtly reas-
StIred.
In place of letters of pathetic appeal
for little something to meet a pay
roll there came letters announcing pri-
vate views of new importations. Per-
sis own father called her his loan
broker, and said that she had earneo
the usual commission; he ordered her
to buy new things. He complained of
the shabbiness of her hats. Why hadn't
she bought the lot she had spoken u
him about some time ago? She did at
Once-and more.
Persis was like a child waking from
a bad dream to find that it is Christmas
and that its stockings are
like cornucopias spilling over with gilt
tering toys.
The Washington herald., 1914-11-22

His own outcry seemed to awaken
him. His eyes flew open, and he
stared about him as if searching for
some one whose absence bewildered
him.
His mother peered into his eyes, ano
he clutched her by the arms, staring
at her. Then he mumbled:
"Oh, it's you," and smiled foolishly,
and laughed as with a great relief
What is il, my boy?" said Mrs En-
slee.
81 must have dropped off to sleep.
1t was only a dream"
What was it," Mrs. Enslee repeat
ed but he spoke with a sickly cheer:
That's the one consolation about
nightmares, when you wake up-thank
God, they're not trueT
But what did you dreamS Mrs.
Enslee demanded till he explained:

then, when she said that, he gave her
one look and-er-walked out of the
church. And the-er-ceremony went
on. But PerSis shivered all the time

hand across the table and wrung the
Senator's fat old fingers till they
ached.
Willie Enslee was as little masculine
as a man could be without being in the
least effeminate. Ten Eyck, whose
French was more fluent than exact,
called him petite" His head was
small and childish, and the more in
fantile for a great rearward overhang
that would have looked better on a
yacht His voice was high and trebling
in its sound His costumes were al
ways of next season or the season after
next. Yet, carefully as he dressed, his
clothes never dignihed him nor he
them. Rich as he was, he attracted
few parasites.
So little jealousy he had-or, rather,
so slow a jealousy-that the silly the
ory of Forbes Irritation with Mrs. Neff
sufficed to prevent him from paying the
slightest attention to Forbes conversa-
tion with Persis. Lack of jealousy is
sometimes a form of conceit. Perhaps
it was this feeling that no woman
could prefer no other man to an Enslee
that led him to ignore the ordinary
caution Ol d IONCI- GIHdpS IL was just
his idolatry of Persis, his inability to
believe >her capable of the infamy of
duplicity.
But somewhere in his soul there
must have been latent spark of sus-
picion which might some day burst into
a consuming fame, for into his dreams
came now and then little glints of un-
easiness. He dismissed them as the
results of indigestion, but they per-
sisted.
One day, shortly after his return
from his Winchester estate, he sat
down in the living-room of his town
house to read the evening papers All
of them published the announcement of |
his engagement to Persis, under the
general heading of June brides"
There were portraits of PerSis in vari-
Gus poses and costumes. Willie saw no |
picture of himself, and the illusions to
him were mainly concerned with will
lam Enslee, Esq, son of the famous
William Enslee." ..a.
Willie took so much pride in the
fame of his betrothed that he was not
jealous even of her monopoly of the
attention. He felt only a
great pride in being the future owner
of all that beauty. ]
The Washington herald., 1914-11-22

! And what woman lives that does no,
hnd more rapture in shopping with q
tull purse or an elastic charge account
than in any other earthly or spiritual
pleasure?
And so when Willie Enslee arrived
at the Cabot house with all his weapons
ready to force PerSis to an early mar.
, riage, he was astounded-he was even
dismayed-to find that she offered nc
resistance, but greeted his proposal
with delight. 1t was like making ready
, to beslege and storm a castle and being
met halfway there by flower girls in
stead OF troops. Persis was so instant
with acceptance that he took credit TO
himself. He cherished a pitiful delu-
sion that she wanted to marry him
was actually in a hurry to marry him !
PerSIS was running amuck among
the shops She was in torment of de,
ilght-a cat in a cosmos Of catnip. The
equipment of the humblest bride is a
matter OF supreme effort. To make a
PerSiS Cabot ready to enter the dy-
nasty OF the EnSleeS was a Xerxic in
vasion
If Forbes had called he might have
seen that Persis was a great general,
or at least great quartermaSter, equip
ping not an army with one uniform
but one poor little frantic body with an
army OF uniforms. And Forbes would
have been glad to take that body with
out shift to its back and wrap it in
one of his own overcoats and ride
away with it. But for Willie she must
loot Paris.
Still it was her career. Forbes would
not give up his for her; why. should
she give up hers for him?
She had not forgotten Forbes. The
thought of him hovered about hei
heart. She paused now and then, with
hand on. cheek and eyes far away,
thinking of him so ihtently that the
saleswoman had to speak twice to her,
or the dressmaker to lift her arms into
the position he wanted for the 'try-on.
A president could hardly have given
more thought to selecting his cabineti
than Persis gave to the choice of her
bridesmaids, those lieutenants who
must stand by in the same uniform
like moving caryatides. There was the
enormously important subject of their
costume to debate Since the livery
that suited one style of beauty was
loathsome on another, there was no lit
tie politics to play.

amusement at finding the son lust as
desperate as the father had been. He
had laughed the elder Forbes out of
his gloom. He attempted to ridicule the
son Tree OF the same obsession. He
spoke in low tone surcharged with
an anxiety whose exaggeration was too
dolonous to catch.
You say that you can't stand the
loss of Miss Cabot, and YOU might as
well commit suicide?"
Il might as we'll"

Yes" TAFT murmured; "all good
Americans go to Paris when they die

= Now Forbes caught the twinkle in
his eye. 1t took him off his guard. II
was as if some one had made funny
face at funeral. A guffaw of laughter
escaped him. It shocked him and
shamed him, but it shattered his de-
preston.

: the moment any old friend appeared
he could decamp with her overnight
| And then he glowed with the
imagined scenes of the honeymoon.
| PerSis might not love him as he
wished. but he would have her for his
own. He would have as much of hei
as any man could be sure of in pos
sesslng woman. He knew he was not
handsome, but he knew handsome men
whose homely wives were notoriously
false to them. Did he not know OF wild
rOmances that had ended in mutual
contempt? Did he not know of un-
promising beginnings that had ended
in happiness? Monogamy was a gam
bic at best. And at worst he should
have Persis for his own for while
When Willie's mother left him in the
aftermath of his nightmare she went to
pay her duty call on Persis, to welcome
her formally into the family and prof
fer her the use of the family name.
1t was bitter for Willie's mother, stih
beautiful, feeling herself as young as
ever, to realize that henceforth she
must be the the elder" or, worse yet,
the "old Mrs Enslee." Perhaps in
year or two a grandmother 1t would
be Just like Persis to hasten that
ghastly day.
At present Persis was not thinking
of motherhood. She would have
called it quite ghastly day herself
one to be postponed by every ingenuity
and subtlety known to American wom-
anhood. She was thinking of her ne,.
name.
You'll be Mrs. ~Enslee, and sup
pose I'll be Mrs. William Enslee, or
Mrs. Little Willie, sha'n't /, mamma.
Do you want me to call you mamma, or
shall l stick to Mrs Enslee?"
"As you like. my DEAR" said Mrs.

rival. Persis ratified on in ill-managed
embarrassment

Mrs. Enslee was rather pleased than
at this. At least, it credited
her with the ability to create scandal. |

* The Flaw i'm the Diamond

He lolled on the divan and smoked
the. cigarettes of prosperity. The diyan
was so comfortable, and his satisfac-
tion so soothing, that he grew drowsy.
His jaws fell open as his eyes fell shut.
The newspapers dropped to the hoor,
and he was asleep
Into the room, which was now al.
most ready for the closing of the house
and the emigration to Newport or the
country. came his mother, a young ma
tron whose aristocratic face and figure
were markedly Spanish. Her black
hair was logged with gray at the tenn
piles, as if with careless powder puff.
She pushed back the covering of the
mirror over the nantel that she might
catch a glimpse of her hair.
As Mrs. Enslee stared at her image
in the looking-glass Willie's heavy
breathing caught her car, and she
feared that he was asleep even before
she saw him. And then she spoke
sharply:
But you mustn't sleep here. Go to
YOUR own room-or the club
LET me alone" Willie protested,
with querulous anger, still befuddled,
and relapsing at. once into sleep.
When / was young parents weren't
spoken to like that" said Mrs. Enslee,
forgetting how she used TO speak to
her parents. She paused to muse upon
her man-child She felt sorry for him,
but sorrier for herself for having him.
As she watched him he began to mum
bic a gibberish. She bent closer to
hear. Then his hand, hanging Imply
near the floor, began to clench and
twitch.
Suddenly from his lips broke a half
strangled gurgle, then a wild shrek OF

If you are, perhaps Just say perhaps

Mrs. Enslee suggested.
Not for mel!
His mother shrugged his troubles
from her shoulders and left him to fer
ment In his own vinegar. But Willie
was not happy. He was getting what
he asked for, and il was not what he
wanted.
When he found a rapture he always
found something the matter with it
there was worm in the apple, a slug
in the salad, a fly in the ointment, a
flaw in the diamond. And so it was
with his one big ambition-Persis. He
had won his choice of all the worlds
women. And he was dreaming dreams
that somebody else had a priority in
her heart.
He resolved that the one safe step
was to get Persis safely married at
once and take her away from all of her
acquaintances. Aboard his yacht would
be one secure asylum. When they tired
Of that they could travel Europe, and
