sifer would not have objected to Mr..
Pulsifer's attentions to the woman who
had occasioned the divorce had there
been no enmity between the two wo-
men. Mr.. Pulsifer saw slight express
sion Of irritation In Mrs. Quimby's
eyes. He turned the subject.
BY this time the dining room had
filed with lunchers, among whom were
a number of friends and acquaintance
Of Mr.. Pulsifer and Mrs. Quimby. Pull
sifer being recent stranger to New
York, several persons welcomed him as
they passed him. All showed interest
in seeing these two persons together,
and many were the covert remarks
made on the subject.
do you expect Quimby2" asked Mr..
Pulsifer.
He said he would be here at l." was
the uninterested reply. But he has
probably been detained at the club. He
goes there every morning at II and dis
cusses the latest social freak and other
similar matters all day. He had Just
seen this MOrninglory scandal when he
left the house and has probably been
detained discussing It with some Of his
chums." 2s

mot at all"
Mrs. Quimby was not only pleased at
Mr.. Pulsifer's company, but this lunch
ing together in public, so many Of the
society swells being present, was quite
to her taste. 1t would give her more
eclat than the taking Of prize recent
ly won by her poodle at a dog show.
Suddenly the gaze Of the couples &C.
quaintances were conyerged to the
door. A fat little man with bald
head stood at the opening sweeping
the room with his eyes. 1t was Algy
Quimby. He was looking for his wife.
Great interest was manifested to see
what he would do when he discovered
her at the same table with her former
husband. Finally Quimby spotted the
couple. But he was not staggered.
Marching up to the table, he saluted
Mr.. Pulsifer with show Of cordiality.

said:
Pardon me for being late, dear"
Don't mention it.
And Mr. Quimby, turning away from
the couple for other company, espied
vacant seat at table at which
friends Of his were seated and Joined
them. A few minutes later Mr.. Pull
sifer and Mrs. QuinAby, having finish
ed their luncheon, arose from the table.
Mr.. Pulsifer handed ten dollar tip
to each Of the walters who had attend
ed them, and the couple left the dining
room, Mrs. Quimby hooking up adoring-
ly at her companion, observed, and
knowing that she was observed, by
numerous interested persons. On
reaching the sidewalk they entered
Mrs. Quimby's limousine and were
driven northward in the direction Of
the park.
This was Mrs. Quimby's announce
ment to New York society that in all
probability she would throw off the
shackles that bound her to her pres

one.
1t is the uncertain that interests peo-
pie. When fact is publicly announc-
cd 1t loses all charm. For this reason
Mrs. Quimby's acceptance Of Mr.. Pull
sifer's attentions during the following
months and her never being seen out
with Quimby did not occasion a ripple
in the social world, it being understood
that it was an accomplished fact. And
1t was. Long before Mrs Quimby got
her decree separating her from Quimby
and remarked Pulsifer society had
lost all interest in It, Mr. and Mrs.
Pulsifer were united In London.
On the whole, the period of separa-
ton between Mr.. and Mrs. Pulsifer
had not been an agreeable one to
either. Society was surprised at Mrs
Pulsifer throwing over an attractive
man for an inferior one and was not
surprised at her turning again to Pull
sifer. Some say that she made both
breaks to gain that eclat that divorce
brings to woman in high life. Be
this as 1t may, she seemed well salts
fed with the man to whom she had
been twice married, and there is no
especial probability Of her divorcing
him again.
