CHAPTER XVI

George took OF his dressing-gown
and put on a collar and tie, his fingers
shaking so that the tie was not his
usual success; then he picked up his
coat and waistcoat, and left the room
while still in process of DOMINIC them,
fastening the buttons as he ran down
the front stairs to the door. 1t was
not until he reached the middle Of the
street that he realized that he had for
gotten his hat; and he paused for an
irreSolute moment then he decided
that he needed no hat for the sort OF
call he intended to make, and went
forward hurriedly. Mrs. Johnson
was at home, the Irish girl who came
to the door informed him, and he was
left to await the lady, In room like
an elegant well-the JohnsOns' ''re-

Mrs. johnson came IN. breathing mo-
ticeably; and her round head, smooth
" but economically decorated with
the hair Of an honest woman, seemed
to be lingering far in the background
of the Alpine bosom which took pre-
cedence of the rest Of her everywhere
but when she was all In the room, II
was to be seen that her breathing was
the result Of hospitable haste to greet
the visitor. and her hand suggested
that she had paused for only the brief

often. You made me believe that

account, and now you say"

desolately. Il think he did come as

"You told me-" said George, fiercely
''that mother never saw him except
when she was chaperoning you"
'"They weren't much alone together
then" Fanny returned. Hardly ever
before Wilbur died. Everybody knew
that he'd been engaged to her"

'don't you know that's whit they say?
You must know that everybody in
town thinks they're going to be mar

George uttered an incoherent cry !;
and sections of him appeared to
writhe. He was upon the verge of
actual nausea.
''You know 1T" Fanny cried, getting
up. "You don't think I'd have spoken
of 1t to you unless / was sure you
knew it?" Her voice was wholly
genuine, as it had been throughout the
wretched interview. Somebody must

''Who told you?" he said.
"What?"
"Who told you there was talk?
Where is this talk? Where does it
0me from? Who does It'll"
"Why. I suppose pretty much every

OCALA SOCIAL AFFAIRS
Continued from Third Pagel
To Members of the Woman's Club


There will be no meeting of the
Woman's Club this week. Mrs. Full
Ter, state chairman, who was TO have
been here, finds it impossible to be
present, and because of sickness in
her family, the chairman of civics,
Mrs. r. B. Bullock, is not able to ar
range a suitable program. This pro-
gram was scheduled for November,
but was postponed on account of the
influenza conditions. Mrs. Osborne,
chairman of the social service COM
mittee, is planning for out of town
speakers of note and hopes to provide
a program of much interest at the
next meeting. Further announce
ment of this meeting will be made
later.
The civics committee wishes to an
nounce, however, that it is planning
for a colonial ball, which will take
place at the club house Feb. 22nd.
There will be a meeting of the club
Feb. Goth with the social service COM
mittee in charge of the program.
