They drove toward the Strand. John
looked around him with interest as
they entered the restaurant. Luigi,
who came forward TO welcome Sophy,
escorted them to one of the best tables
"You must be very nice to this gen.
tleman. Luigi" she said. "He is very
great friend of mine, just arrived in
London. He has come up on purpose
10 see me, and we shall probably de-
eide to make this our favorite restau-
rant"

clared, with bow.

Strangewey, that ever introduced you

sank back into her chair. "You won't
believe that all my friends are as
frivolous as this, will your"
"They aren't" Sophy proclaimed con-

She leaned toward him across the
'ose-shaded table. For those few sec

INTO wonderfully intimate communion

;ouched his forehead. His hand boldly
rested upon her fingers.
"You talk" she whispered, "as If we

orchestra, which was playing low and
