Juliet fingered the card in her hand
doubtfully. She was twenty. In he1

into the little red writing room.
There were silk curtains at the door.
She let them fall behind her softly.
AT the dinner hour this room was de.
serted, she knew, and only Halls fig

looking down on Fifth avenue.
She tiptoed up to him and slipped
her hands over his eyes.

He pulled them down to his lips
with grip that could not be shaken
off, and wheeled ab6nt- She caught
