it was hard to remember when to

In the ballroom that evening that
little son of Satan called malice afore'
thought took possession of Nora: and
there was havoc. If certain Amer.
lean countess had not patronized her;
If certain lorgnettes implements OF
torture used by said son of SATAN had
not been leveled in her direction; il
certain fans had not been suggestively
spread between pairs of feminine
heads, Mora would have been as
harmless as a playful kitten.
From door to door Of the ballroom
her mother fiuttered like hen with
duckling. Even Celeste was dis
turbed. for she saw that Nora's con-
duct was not due to any light-hearted
fun. There was something bitter and
ironic cloaked by those smiles, that
tinkle Of laughter In fact, Nora from
Tuscany fiirted outrageously. The
BarOne sulked and tore at his mus
tache. He committed any number
of murders, by eye and by wish. When
his time came to dance with the mis-
chief-maker, he whirled her around
savagely. and never said a word; and
once done with, he sternly returned
her to her mother, which he deemed
the wisest course to pursue.
Nora, you are behaving abomin-
ably!' whispered her, mother pale with
indignation.
