speedily reaching the point where to
her a mans worth depended entirely
on the size of his pocketbook
She strolled along the opposite side
of the street from that on which the
hotel was located, and looked up cur
iously at the windows In her old
home, she reflected, she would have
thought this building large and impos-

avansaries she had seen in New York
it looked small, though handsome.
Had she known the price of small

shocked and amazed
She wondered if Somerdyke we're

out of the building and meet her how
easily she could express surprise at
learning that he lived right here in
the very hotel she CHANGED to be bass

girl went on, planning a letter she
would write to him. She must make
some excuse for communicating with
him, and needed leisure to plan it..
She might telephone to him; but, al
though she had small care for the
proprieties, she shrank from hearing
his voice ask coldly: What do you
want?" when she really did not know
just what reply to make to such a
question.
Suddenly a happy though occurred
to her. Why tell him just yet what
she had to say to him? Why not keep

her time to elaborate some story with
which she might account to him for
