About this time-that is to say,

toward Norton-there arrived in New

lousy rich Polish Russian. She leased

This was not very difficult, for her

everybody knows, is the most brilliant

Parlova would give a masked ball to

and it was this notice that first

rose and started for the hallway.
Thus it was that when Norton went
10 the Office the next afternoon he
found a broad white envelope on his
desk. Indifferently he opened the

probably asked for the invitation and
he would have to write up the doings,
a phase of reportorial work eminently
distasteful to him. He went up to
the city desk.
Cant you find some one else to do
this STUFF" he growled to the city
editor.
The city editor glanced at the card
and crested envelope. Good Lord,
man! Nobody in this Office had any
thing to do with that. What luck!
Our Miss Hayes tried all manner Of
schemes, but was rebuffed on all
sides. How the deuce did you chance
to get one?"

editor sarcastically. "The princess

He would go out and see Florence.
On the way out to Riverdale he came
to the conclusion that the list of the
princess fell short and some friend Of
his who was helping the woman out
suggested his name. 1t was the only
way he could account for it.
But when he learned that Florence
had an invitation exactly like his own
and that she received it that morning
he became suspicious.
Jones, what do you think Of it?"
he questioned.

Countess Perigoff suggesting your

butler ~urbanely.
"Olga?" cried Florence, disappoint-

1T is the only logical deduction I

both practically Russians"
And what would you adviser"
asked Norton.
Why, go and enjoy yourselves.

Florence laughed, and even Jones
permitted a smile (which was not
grim this time) to stir his lips.
