with Quotations Alice rose after the
salad and repeated at least page OF
Maiory, and the Knights Of. the
Round Table having thus been intro
|duced. Mrs. sFarnsworth recited sever
al sonorous passages from "The 1dyls
Of the King" They flung lines from
Browning's I'm q Balcony" at each
other as though they were ipprovis-
ing. The befuddlement Of Antoine and
the waiter who assisted him added to
the general JOY. They were undoubt-
edly thought the two women quite out
Of their heads. and It was plain that
I suffered greatly in Antoines estima-
ti0n by my encouragement OF this frt-
volity. Mrs. Farnsworth walked majes-
tically round the table and addressed
to me the lines from Macbeth begin
ming:
CLAIMS thou art. and Cawdor: and
What thou art promised,
while Antoine chung to the sideboard

Later, in the living room, Alice sang
some old ballads. She was more ad0r-
able than ever at the plano. 1t was
q happiness beyond any in my expert
ence Of women to watch her, to note
the play of light upon her golden
head. to yield to the spell Of her voice.
Ballads had never been sung before

into them; and after ending with

'God knows we ought to be glad
when grownups have the heart to play
at being children and can get away
with it as beautifully as those women
do! What else is on your mindr
Its about Elsie, sir" I groaned at
the mention Of Flynn's German wife.
I'm Sorry, sir; but thought should
report 1t. It was a man who came to
see her this afternoon. You was out
for your walk, and Flynn had taken
the ladies for drive, so Elsie was
alone at the garage. This person rode
in on the grocer's truck from the vii
lage, which Is how he got by the gate.
As it happened, Pierre-he was a
waiter at the Tyringham, Swiss, who
understands German-had gone into
the garage for nap; he's quite old,
sir, and has his snooze every after
noon."
Hes entitled to It," remarked;
"he must be thousand years DID,"
"From what he heard Pierre thought
the man q spy, sir. He wanted Elsie
to steal something from the house, it
was fan he wanted her to take most
particular, and it was to be done soon,
today If she could manage. It was
for the love Of the Fatherland that he
wanted her to do it. Did you notice,
sir, that Mrs. Bashford didn't have
the fan tonight? Not that one she
carried last night"
