meet"
When Eginton was dressing for din
ner it occurred to him that this morn
ing he had never expected to see her
again, and that now he would probably
see her within the hour. And he looked
forward with lively anticipation to the
meeting Mrs. Bostwick had found occa-
sion to detail her essential desirabllity,
and Eginton himself was satisfied as to
her attractiveness, and her youth, and
her engaging disposition.
Recalling his judgment of the first mo-
ment of their acquaintance, he confirmed
tin normal moments she would be in
spirational. Eginton liked vivacity; he
preferred dash and animation to placid
ity of nature, and he wasn't at all offended
by her exit speech. She had inferred that
he wasn't gentleman, and he thought
he could prove to her that she was in
error. Besides, it was refreshing to find
person so entirely ingenious and SIN
cere. He decided that if she ever resolved
to like man she would like him very
much indeed, and not be afraid to let
him know it.
A LTHOUGH he was fully prepared
for the second encounter, it arrived
with the suddenness of the first. He was
= talking with one or two of the earlier
guests when Mrs. Bostwick, just behind
him, spoke his name; and, turning, he
beheld the girl of the garden frock.
So far he hadn't visualized her in eve
ming dress, and his amazement might have
been fattering to less prejudiced object
of it. Hers was the simplest gown lmag-
nable-a dainty creation of soft apple
green, with little sleeves of white chiffon
She appeared to be not more than
nineteen or twenty; but her poise was
disconcerting, and her beauty was stag
gering.
Eginton said something conventional;
she replied in kind; the hostess smiled in
diligently, and went on, leaving them to-
gether.
"Ever since found out who you are, "
said Eginton abruptly, "Ive been waiting
for night to come"
"You found out?" she inquired indif-
ferently.
"Yes-Mrs. Bostwick told me. You
wouldn't believe how anxious I've been
to see you again"
"Yes?"
"You see-I don't particularly care to
as there any good reason why you
shouldn't want to be misunderstood
especially by me?"
He realized that she was Intentionally
complicating his reparation. "Why, you re
a friend of Mrs. Bostwick's," he blum.
dered. "And-"
She laughed infectiousy. "My deal
Mr.. Eginton," she said, al don't misun
derstand you in the least. On the con
trary, if I'd happened to be homely ane
freckled and not friend of the Bost
wicks, you wouldn't be half so eager tt
keep on apologzing."
"There's an untenanted corner-l wisl
you'd sit down and let me persuade you.
"Of what?"
"My character and attanments. Will

al know them already"
"Only from this morning" he argued
