nobility-among them the Sutherlands, the
Cromarties, the Montmorencys, the Devon
shires, Rutlands and the Newcastles--all
ducal families with which Lady Connie
was or was about to become related.
The grande danes and the honorable
misses, and the dukes and viscounts in the
audience, stand with their faces properly
turned to the altar. but surreptitious
glances are turned back-to the church
door whence will come the bride-to-be and
her newest bridegroom.

will she behave?" What a delight 1t will
be to see her, this once anyway, in the
conventional habiliments OF a sober.
minded, demure and proper ladyship!
Such are the thoughts that are In those
noble heads.
The door is opened by the ushers.
There is rustle-and then a gasp.
The bride and bridegroom are approach
ing the altar And Just look at Lady
Connie! Whatever she has done in the
past is outdone now.
Has she come to be married In the con-
ventional white-a dainty touch of color
in her gown to signify that this Is not her
first experience with honor and obey?
Heavens, no! That would not be Lady
Connie--every one now realizes.
Instead Of flowers, two great punches or
grapes are in her hands. Grapes-the
badge Of Bacchus and the symbol OF frui-
ton! She can mean but one thing-that
she wants the world to know that this oc-
casion is to usher in riotous, Intoxicating
love life with abandon leavened by ma
ternity.
What an amazing determination to faupt
in the faces of these peers and peeresses
of the realm-and into the very teeth OF
the imposing Bishop!
But-that is not all! Draped over her
head, flowing with a rakish sweep to the
floor, is-a bridal veil?-ah, no! A pea
cock scarf-to testify mutely that this
bride walks with no humility, but struts
. instead, with no shyness before the COM
ing ritual, but with defiant pride In her
submission to the programme those grapes
signify.
The brides wrap. of course, should be
softtoned gray-as, after all, she Is a
widow as we'll as bride. But not so for
Lady Connie! Hers is a vivid sage green
"a shimmering, startling green. AS its
modish folds fare back there peeps out
lemon yellow lining-green that calls to
mind the Springtime lawns upon the
heights Of Olympus, where Venus gam
boiled with Adonis; yellow that invoked
the apple that brought grief to Eve, but
glory to Aphrodite! And out Of the coat

LONDON, Aug. 80.


-HE surprising Lady Constance Stewart
Richardson, who has so often startled
u staid old London that some British
dowagers hold up their hands In horror at
the very mention of her name, and about
whom some gallant English wag once said
that she was to the British nobility what
an extra strong cocktail is to banquet,
has achieved another climax in her viva
cious career as a "shocker."
Those who thought this effervescent
noblewoman, who has so often declared
she'd rather have her legs taper beauti-
fully than have her head decorated with
queens crown, had exhausted her bag Of
tricks, have just come to realize they were
wrong.
This conclusion has been reached be-
cause of her recent marriage and the ex-
traordinary happenings which celebrated 1t.
Little more than dozen years ago Lady
Constance electrified society by announc-
ing she had come to the conclusion clothes
dc not make the woman, and that woman
would be far better off If she would discard
mere Idlment. VI COuIbCS 5hO ooAu IhOh'
women nowadays have atrocious figures,
caused by corsets and neglect. Conse-
quently. she said, every woman should
learn to dance, and-certainly. dance with
as few clothes on as the law would allow.
There followed a veritable panorama OF
shocks-that reverberated, some Of them,
around the world and reached their eli
makes in this country.
But her beloved husband died year or
two ago and Lady Connie properly went
into mourning-pretty mourning, OF course,
for everything about Lady Connie was
pretty, as every one admitted. People
thought she would remain subdued.
But-picture this!

one of the oldest churches in England, in

A dowager clutched at her smelling salts.
For a second glance left no doubt. Lady

knee, and Lady Comics leg, sheathed In
silken, transparent, quail brown stockings,
was plainly visible, even above the shapely

Robertson, then chief Of staff at the front,

When the ceremony was concluded the
Bishop formally bestowed his good wishes
upon the bride and bridegroom and turned
with stately dignity to leave the chancel.
The audience was too stupeffed to move
when the bride and groom turned about
and again walked down the aisle to the
car waiting outside to whirl them away to
honeymoon at the groom's country castle.

CHAPTER XIII.

Meanwhile Cherry, in the sick nut-
ter of spirits that had become familiar
to her of late, kept her dentist APP
poIntment, and at noon looked at
flushed and lovely vision in the den
lists mirror.
She went out into the blazing street;
1t was one of the hot noontides Of the
year. AT two O'Clock q Wild wind
would spring up and send papers and
dust flying, but just now the heat was
dry and clear and still.
She was carrying a parasol and she
opened if now and walked slowly to-
ward Geary street. She could not even
frame In her thoughts the utter blank
ness Of the feeling that swept over
her at missing an opportunity to see
Peter. She turned and went slowly
ND past the big shop windows that re-
dected the burning Plaza, and 50 came
to the cool. great doorway Of the St
Francis. Inside was tempered light
and much noiseless coming and going,
meeting and parting.
Cherry drifted into the big, deep
carpeted waiting room; there were
other women there. sunk into the big
leather chairs, watching the doors and
glancing at the clock. When a man
came hastily in the door, one woman
rose. there was a significant smile. q
murmured greeting. before the two
vanished.
In a luxurious chair Cherry waited.

Peter was quiet that evening, and
was gone the next morning when the
sisters came out to breakfast. He had
left q message to the effect that he
would not be at home that night, and
at four o'clock telephoned confirming
the message. Alix CHANGED to answer
the telephone, and Cherry, who was in
her room, heard Peters name, and
stood still, listening with a shock of
disappointment.
But at eight o'clock that evening,
when she and Alix were sitting on the
porch, when the last ebbing pink of
the sunset had faded and great spiders
had ventured forth into the dusk and
the dews, there was a sudden hail at
the gate, and Cherry knew that it was
hel A flood OF utter, irrational hap
piness rose in her heart; she had been
racked with hunger for the sound Of
that voice; she had been restless and
unsatisfed, almost feverish with long
ing and doubt; now peace came again,
and content.
He came up to them, his glance
resolutely averted from Cherry, ex-
planning that he was lonesome, assur-
ing them that everything went well
and making them laugh with an &C

Cherry retains the old feeling of dissatis-

while there comes to realization that
she loves Peter. Though she has never
known it. Cherry is the woman whom
Peter had in mind when he told her Of
his grand passion" He has never
ceased to love her, and the situation now
becomes tragic.
