He Celebrated the New Era With Q
 Twelve Dollar Dinner at the Plaza.

Europe. Bayard had not written, of course. since his marriage, except il brief note from the steamer the day he landed. But he had set six weeks as the limit of his absence.
 One evening Clay announced that he had reserved three seats for new comedy that had opened with success q few nights before. Mrs. Kip begged to be excused from going.
 Clay urged her to reconsider her re- fusal. sure you won't go? You ought at least te see the star. Sheila kemble. Some people say she looks Il little like Daphne. Of course she doesn't; she's not tenth as beautiful or young or attractive. but there is Il kind of Il resemblance. And they say she gets q thousand dollars week. Daphne could give her cards and spades and beat her. Sure you won't goF
 q wouldn't put my poor feet into those tight slippers tonight to see Daphne herself play Lady Macbeth"
 So Clay and Daphne went alone.
 After the last act he proposed Clare mont for supper. Daphne accepted with zest. They entered an open taxi cab and scudded up the long bias seam of Broadway to Seventy-seeond street and whisked across to Riverside drive and up it's meandering splendor.

CHAPTER V.

He taXicabbed them down to the Knielerbocker and luncEed them so lavishly that Daphne and her mother felt thoroughly treasured as to his means. Then he left them and de scended to the subway.
 Clay had insisted on their dining and theatering with him. They ate at the Astor and he fed them hand somely again. Mrs. Kip managed 10 catch glimpse of the bill for the meal. It made her heart ache till she noted that Clay gave the waiter a dollar bill for the tip, without visible excitement on either side. She re solved that Mir. Wimburn must be very rich or very rash.
 Next morning the attack on the shops began in earnest. Clay did not lunch with them, and so Daphne and her mother ate in .he restaurant of q department store and paid for their own meal. It made difference. Even the bargain prices for food to- tailed up unpleasantly, and Mrs. Kip missed Clay's shining presence.
 The chaos of the styles was so com plcte that the two women decided to retire and study out their campaign on the war maps. They began to

WAITER TOOK NO CHANGES
Simply Removed Objects of Tempta- ton From the immediate Vicinity
 of Fair Hotel Guests.

Two Indianapolis women were eat ing lunch in hotel in a city not 100 miles from the Hoosier capital.
 My, what a pretty silver sugar and cream set," exclaimed one. They would fit nicely on my dining-room table at home"
 Yes said the other. 'I can read fly understand how an irresistible impulse often strikes the hotel diner at the expense of the management" And she picked up the dainty sugar bowl and examined it carefully.
 The lunch proceeded. The waiter meanwhile had been fitting back and forth. Presently both diners looked Tt each other simultaneously. With almost n single voice they exclaimed: Did you take that sugar bowl?" For the sugar bowl had mysteriously dis appeared. Both denied the accusa- ton.
 But as they wended their way out of the dining room they noticed that their waiter had removed temptation by placing the sugar bowl on an ad- joining table.

| tipping the porter like freshly baked millionaire. Clay taXtcabhed them 10 Mir and Mrs. Bayurd's apartment house, q towering habitable chimney on Ftfty-ninth street, overlooking Cen tral park and Columbus circle.
 The convenience and ingenuity of the apartment enchanted Daphne. It seemed impossible that all this luxury. this ozone of wealth. could be secured in so small d space. on part of one floor, the twelfth of g building. Every thing came up in baskets by pulley people, food, everything; it was like monastery in the mountains-with some differences.
 She was grateful beyond words to the young man who embraced her and stared over her shoulder-over her left shoulder-at the tiny commerce of the streets and the toy park. She said to him:
 "Oh. Clay, this is heaven! What do you say to our having fn apartment just like ths2 Let's!'
 She felt in the afm about her sud den slackenng The chin on her shoul- der seemed to weigh heavier.
 "Er-it-would be nice" said Clay
 She turned out of his embrace and looked at him.
 He explained: Do you know how much Bayard pays for these seven rooms and two baths?"
 "No'
 Well, I've been looking about for little nest for Us, and l priced one like this. They charge twenty-five 1 hundred dollars year! !"
 She asked, shyly And that's more than We can afford?" She had no idea what salaries were paid to fairy princes in this city of fabulous wealths. She had merely d glamorous impression that her lover was there to get what she wanted.
 Well. we could afford 1t. all right, he laughed, meekty, If we could eat the view and wear the altitude. But we've never talked about money, honey, have we? I suppose we ought to. I don't want to give you any false | now?"
 No! please :"
 Daphne sat suddenly. She felt as q stranger to tall buildings feels when an express elevator starts downward
 She had rejoiced to think that she was escaping from her fathers nag ging dollarocracy to a region of love and light. She sorrowed a moment then she gazed 1t her lover and saw how anxious he was. Her love came back to her. The express elevator was shooting upward now.
 What does 1t matter where We live so long as we have each other?h
 "You're d little saint" he said as he took her in a very secular embrace
 And then she began to laugh.
 The whimsy struck her that she was like a bird gaining its freedom from Il cage only to find itself in trap It was q good joke on her. She en- joyed the jokes fate played on her | sometimeS-more 0f less.

 'I guess I'll go home and be m old maid, said Daphne. Dads money wouldn't buy me enough to get mar. ried in Sandusky."
 But when Clay arrived to take them out to dinner lie brought romance with him. He had had good day at the office. There had been Il furry of hope in Wall street. and everybody said that the business world had reached the rock bottom of depression and started up again
 He celebrated the new era with q twelve-dolaf dinner at the Plaza and another theater, and after that he made Mrs. Kip accompany then to d roof garden. where Daphne and he danced with other laity in the inter vals between professional dances on the floor and vaudeville turns on the stage.

The two old Kips sat breeding over their mystery. The fruit of their al- : most forgotten romance, the little, squalling, helpless baby that had come to them and strangely evolved into a great, grown man, was now in the tolls of romance in his turn. He had found, in far city. somebody there that he loved better than his family or his friends or his freedom

 Daphne wrote this new decision to | Clay. He sent back letter that fairly howled with protest
 When Daphne told her parents of Gays anguish they made light of it. It was long, long while since they had been young. They had learned i that marriages contain surprises that may sometimes be postponed without misfortune.
 Bayard did not write again for sev- eral days. This time he wrote to Daphne:
