toward him, and rose.

important" He hesitated and glanced
toward the door. you'll excuse me
Just half a minute, won't you, Gail?"
She had noticed that assumption Of
intimate understanding in him before
and she had secretly admired 1t. Now
1t was comfort and Joy.
Surely" she granted, and passed
on in to the library alcove, sheltered
nook where she was glad to be alone,
to rescue herself from the whirl of
anger, and indignation, and humDia-
tion-above all, humiliation-which
had swept around her. Her face was
hot and cold by turns, and she was al
most on the point Of crying, in spite
of her constantly reiterated self-ad
monishment that she must control her
self here, when Allison came to the
door of the alcove.
"All right, Gail" he said laconically
She felt suddenly weary, but she
rose and joined him. When she
slipped her hand in his arm, strong
and warm, and pulsing, she was aware
of a thrill from it, but the thrill was
just restfulness.

practical Allison, as they strolled, side
by side, into the hall, and he patted
the slender hand which lay on his
arm.
Not very she lightly replied, and
unconsciously she snuggled her hand
more comfortably into its resting
place. A little sigh escaped her lips
deep-drawn and huttering. II was a
sigh Of content.

The spire of the minister is a mas
terpiece, excelled by no mother steeple
and equaled by but few. 1t ends more
than 500 feet above the town, and 1t
is a wonder-compelllng structure OF
delicate open stonework, rich in an
endless complexity of forms.
After finishing the one spire, build
ers never attempted to construct the
proposed companion to It.
Strassburg differs from other Ger
man cathedrals in that it possesses a
greater width in proportion to its
height. 1t is one OF the most harmo-
nious Of Europe's sacred structures.
The doors are very beautiful and the
rose window. more than forty feet in
diameter, is an artistic achievement
that wins the admiration Of every Wis
itor.

lnterlocutor Ted Teasdale roved his
eye over the assemblage, Of fifty or
more, In his own ballroom, and smiled
in a superior fashion. The ebony
faced semicircle Of impromptu min
strels, banded together that morning,
leaned forward with anticipatory grins.
They had heard the joke in rehearsal.
Il was corker!
when it's Gail" he replied.
whereat Gail Sargent, at whom every
body looked and laughed, flushed pret-
tily. and the bones and tambos made
a flourish and the interlocutor an
nounced that the Self Help Glee club
would now sing that enhancing ditty,
entitled Mary Had a Little Calf"
II was only in the blossom Of the
evening at Ted Teasdales country
house, the same being about eleven
o'clock, and the dance was still to be-
gin. Lucille Teasdale's vivid idea for
making her house party notable was
to induce their guests to amuse them
selves; and their set had depended
upon hired entertainers for so long
that the idea had all the charm Of dis

Teasdale and Arly Fosland Gerald
Fosland was at this party. Fine chap,
Gerald, and beautifully decent In his
attentions to Arly Pity they were SO
rotten bored with each other; but

Gail Sargent fairly scintillated with
enjoyment She had never attended
so brilliant a house party Her own
set back home had a lot Of fun, but
this was in some way different The
people we're no more clever but there
were more clever people among them;
that was It. There had been a wider
range from which to pick, which was
why, in New York, there were so
many circles, and circles within
circles.
The men whom Lucille and Arly had
collected were an especial Joy. They
had all the accomplished outward SYM
bols of fervor without any Of its op-
pressive insistence. Gail, as an agree
able duty 70 her new found self, ex-
perimented with several Of them, and
found them most amusing and pleas

excellent humor in these days of build
ing, and planning, and clearing ground
for an entirely new superstructure OF
life, circled around to the dining room,
where he performed savage feats at
the buffet. Soon he was out again,
standing quietly at the edge of things,
and watching Gail with keen pleasure,
both when she danced and when, in
the intermissions, the gallants of the
party gravitated to her like needles
to a magnet. Her popularity pleased
him, and hattered him. Suddenly he
caught sight of ,Eldridge Babbitt,
middle-aged man who was watching
young woman with the same pleasure
Allison vas experiencing in the con
temptation of Gail.
Just the man ! wanted to see" an
nounced Allison, making his way to
Babbitt. Il have a new freightage
proposition for the National Dairy
Products consolidation.
Babbitt frightened visibly. He had
been missing something keenly these
past two days, and now all at once he
realized what it was: business.
Il can't see any possible new angle"
returned Babbitt cautiously, and with
a backward glance at the dashing
young Mrs. Babbitt. He headed in
stinctively for the library.
Laughingly Gail finished her third
dance down She had enjoyed several
sparkling encounters in passing with
Dick Rodley, and she was buoyantly
exhilarated as she started to stroll
from the floor with her partner. She
had wanted to find cherub-cheeked
Marion Kenneth, and together they
walked through the conservatory, and
the dining room, and the deserted bill
lizard room, with its bright light on the
green cloth and all the rest of the
rooms in dimness. There was a mar
row space at one point between the
chairs and the table, and it unexpect-
edly wedged them into close contact.
With a sharp intake of his breath, the
fellow, a ruddy-faced, thiok-necked,
fullllpped young man who had fol-
lowed her with his eyes all evening,
suddenly turned, and caught her in his
embrace.
Gail, turning, hurried out Of the side
door to the veranda. Her knees were
Trembling, but the fresh, cold air
steadied her, and she walked the full
length of the wide porch, trying ir.
stinctively to forget the sickening hui
initiation. She was near window,
and, advancing a step, she looked in.
It was the library, and Allison sat
there, so clean and wholesome look
ing, with his pink shaven face and his
white evening waistcoat, and his dark
hair beginning to sprinkle with gray
at the temples. He was so sturdy and
so strong and so dependable looking,
as he sat earnestly talking with Bah
bitt. Gail hurried to the front door
and rang the bell
