FOR LOVE By Ruby Ruby M.

/. was the night of the dinner party,
and Eva was a little flushed with
nervousness and excitement already.
II do hope Mr.. Cailigan will like
me" she said suddenly.
She knew that Calligan was Phil
ip's greatest friend.
"Of course he WILL" Philip as
sured her. And you'll like him, too
he's a fine fellow. I've known him
all my life"
He looked at her. and a sudden
thrill of pride swept through him.
She was so soon--to be his wife, and
she looked prettier this afternoon
than he had ever seen her before.
Her eyes were like stars and her
face radiant with happiness.
He took a step toward her impul-
sively.
shall come over and fetch you
this evening" he asked, with a
curious note in his voice. II shan't
see you by myself all the evening
with all those people here. can
drive over In the car. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dennison won't mind" He was a
little agitated and embarrassed.
, Would you like me tor" he asked,
rather breathlessly.
But there was no need for her to
answer. Her eyes were answer
enough. Philip caught her hand and
held IL hard for q moment; then he
turned away.
81 shall come at half-past six" he
said. M
She gave little cry. "Half-past
six--but dinner isn't till eight"
81 know-but / want to talk to
you"
He drove OFF feeling happier than
he had done for weeks. Things were
going to be all right, after all
He had slowed the car little to
turn out OF the gate. and as he did

avoid being knocked over. 1t was

freak of fortune, stopped at that
moment he would just have raised
his hat and driven on; but as II was
the car came to standstill just
outside the gate. bringing it's driver
exactly abreast with the girl on the
path.
She was looking very cool and
dainty, as she always did, in a pale
blue frock and a shady hat. and her
little feet shod in the trimest of
high-heeled shoes.
Young winterdick's heart gave a
traitorous thump as he looked at
her. 1t was impossible to avoid
speech as he clambered out OF his
seat to restart the engine.
lawfully hot, isn't it7" he said
nervously.
ct like the heat" The blue eyes
met his rather wistfully. There was
a little silence. Philip had twice
tried to start the car and failed to
accomplish his object. He laughed
in embarrassment: he was rather
red In the face. Kitty watched him
silently,
In her mind she was comparing
him with Peter Dennison, and Peter
suffered by the contrast.
He was only a STRIPPING stiIl, slim
and boyish1y built. whereas Philip
was muscular and broad-shouldered
IA man every inch OF him.

time" she said presently. Not since
that night you"--
He broke in hurriedly.

slowly.
She looked away from him down
the hot dusty road with a little
feeling OF Jealousy.

busy with the shirtwaist which she
had begun that morning, SO that
their expression was hidden from
her husband.
II think you might put that thing
down and talk to me-" he said.
1t will be remembered that Diana
had gone to sleep with her mind
filled with good resolutions. She
put down her work obediently, and
with real sweetness of expression
looked up to meet her husbands
eyes: This time. cost what it might

resolutions. every one of them.
He should perhaps have kissed
her, told her not to be late for
lunch, and left her. But this is
doubtful. Her nerves were on edge,
too. Perhaps 1t did not matter
much what he said or did.
II want to know what's wrong,
Diana"
Her expression lost it's sweetness
instantly.

loaded Eva with presents. He had
given her most expensive

that she still wore the one he had

protested.
