Amy was afraid that her cousin
would take her answer from the en-
barrassment on her face, so she
hastened to say:
Eff, you are incorrigiblel I'm
terribly in luve-more than ever"
Fiji looked unconvinced.
Hurry up and dress. Andrews a
self-nlade man, isn't her How do
you like keeping housed Who's in
town."
"You're the first soul I've SEEN"
said Amy, avoiding the previous
questions.
"And the Old Guardi" said Fiji,
opening her eyes. "Just because
you're married, you're not going to
live in a convent, are your? She
glanced admiringly at her cousin,
who stood glowing with youth.
Really, Amy, you are too delicious
to be married. Oh, you needn't
blush, and you needn't say it. You
are like all the rest, never going to
look at another man. But you'll get
over that quick enough. You've got
a lot of hearts to break still. Mother
will never forgive you. She had
picked you out for duke at least.
Wei, want to see him. Telephone

touch of pride, ANDREW isn't loung-

Hes an important parsonage, Of
course" said Fiji, interrupting; yes,
yes"
Besides, we are running down to
the Dellabarre's this afternoon.
ITO Irma? That body-snatcherP
said Fiji, in surprise. Never mind;
l dote on Irma. She's the one really
clever woman / know. By the way,
just tell her for me that I've made
up my mind to play with Monte
Bracken this winter, and that she
can keep off the reservation"
"I'll be sure to tell her nothing OF
the kind"
Then I've a mind to throw the
complexion and run over and do it
myself" said Fiji, following her out
to the elevator. "I'm only 100 miles
away. By the way, you'll probably
find an old friend there"
"Who?"
"Tody Dawson" said Fiji, and
then, as she saw the dismay on
Amy's face, she added, with laugh:
"You innocent thingl Why, he's
consoled long ago. He's already
one Of Irma's crocodiles. You don't
know what that is? That's what
Trina calls the languishing type of
adorers-crocodile tears, you know.
I'm crazy about Irma. If were
sure Monte would be there, ! would
come over and grab him. He's quite
exciting-but too dangerous for you,
my dear. So don't lose your pretty
little head. Is this your car" she
said, examining magnificent green
which was waiting and,
without caring whether she was
heard or not, she added, "The
my dear, is very hand
some"
: Once inside the luxurious body,
dainty as a jewel box, she nodded in
"Good for Andrew"
''We have a runabout, too, said
Amy, with sigh.
Fiji noticed the sigh. Little es-
capped her, and thinking of all the
whirl of gaiety, Of fattery, and of
admiration that her beautiful cousin
had renounced at the end of one
season, she put out her hand and
patted. her shoulder.
"You poor dear" she said sympa-
thetically.
