self-control her laugh rang out mer-

deepened, and /. watching her
closely, saw the fingers of the hand
hanging loosely against her skirt
clench swiftly, iiercely into the
palm.
Il hope you'll be properly appre-
ciative, Leila" she said lightly, then
mounted quickly 70 the tonneau,
scorning Dickys assisting hand.
Dicky Winks.
"I only hope well all get back

her next contribution TO the con-
versatlon after Edith Fairfax. Dicky

She had addressed her remark 70

Alfred Durkee a trifle as she spoke.
But he either didn't hear her or

long-winded dissertation upon the

THE WAY THE MOTOR PARTY
STARTED OFF.

l was watching Alfred Durkee
closely during his exchange of rail-
lery with Rita Brown.
1 saw him look at the girl Curl
ously as she made the coquettish
request 10 sit with him in the front
seat Of the new touring car and help
drive. Then as if involuntarily
drawn aside ] saw his eyes travel
quickly from her uplifted face TO
that of Leila Fairfax, who was
standing with her hand upon the
car gazing at il with shy admiration.
Dicky, who had come across the
lawn at a tearing pace, forestalled
whatever answer Alfred meant 10
make by a breathlesS announcement.
