They were both in evening dress, as
Mrs. Lawrence was having a recep-
ton tonight in honor Of her cousin.
To say that she had been surprised
when she first beheld Daisy would be
putting It weakly. Meanwhile Victor
and Daisy had become great friends,
and al their friends were expecting
TO hear wedding bells soon. Daisy
was looking beautiful in a dress of
pure white, with a single white rose
in her curly hair.
She was fastening on her last
glove when Mrs. Lawrence said:
You should have heard the fuss
Victor made the day he went to meet
you. How did he picture you? Red
hands. red face. and perhaps red
hair, besides being oyerErOwn," and
Mrs. Lawrence laughed heartily as
she recalled the picture
Just at that moment and in time
to catch the last statement Victor
entered the room and turned pale
when he heard Daisy reply coldly. 1T

TWO hours later Victor was walk

look on his face. At last the train
came putting in, and with resigned
air he walked down towards the
train. Finally he saw alight a tall
young lady with a naughty but I'M
