But she was thinking of II all the
afternoon. She played badly. and
her partner got irritable.
Eva apologized in confusion, but
for almost the first time in her life
she did not care IL she played or
not.
And then q kindly shower came
down and soaked the courts, and
made further play impossible.
Eva was thankful: she gave a
little sigh of relief, as she ran to
the house with the others.
Philip took her racquet: I'm

She could not look at him as she

Philip did not answer for q mo-

The words sounded stilted. and
Eva felt as II a rough hand had

and in the choice of tho wall

taste had not been consulted. Nor
had Diana given free rein to her
own. Her taste ran to extremely
expensive simplicity.
And although the effect of the
apartment was simple enough, 1t
had been achieved at a very small
expense. Only the linen and the
toilet articles on Diana's dressing
table showed that she could be ex-
travagant.
