was very greatly enjoyed by all those
present. The refreshments served
were weinies, red lemonade, popcorn
and stick candy. The evening proved
to be one of the most delightful OF
the affairs which have been given by
this association, which are always
very enjoyable. During the evening
group pictures were made, which will
be carried in the official publication
of the Bell company. Throughout the
evening many of the guests enjoyed
cards in the rooms which had been
set aside for that purpose.

was to stick to what she had said.

II he had ever had the impulse

at least punctiliously refrained from

reason to believe that her heart

Diana might throw her cap over the

explanation which he intended TO

rrRs. wINTERDICK spoke OF
M giving a dinner party.
AvA 1T should like our friends
to meet you, my dear" she said to
Eva. People who have known
Phil ever since he was a small boy;
they would be so interested
Eva remembered this as she
stood in her mothers room twisting
her engagement ring.
Perhaps something had happened
to chance the complexion Of things,
she thought. She made mp her
mind to ask Philip about Ii that
afternoon.
She had seen him very little since
the night he had asked her to mar
nv him, and when they met there
was generally somebody else pres
emit.
She did not guess that Philip
tried to arrange 1t so. She never
suspected what an unhappy man he
was in these days.
He avoided most of his friends
he took elaborate precautions not
to see Kitty Arlington. In burst
of good resolution he destroyed all
her photographs anr the few little
notes he had treasured of hers. He
meant to start again fair and
square; he was not going to give
Eva cause for single misgiving.
He knew that Mr.. Dennison had
been to the Highway House. and
that he and Mr.. Winterdick had
been shut up together for more
than an hour in the library; he
knew that the two men had con-
sumed bottle of champagne be-
tween them, and that his father
had looked years younger after the
visit. He had been to New York to
see his Sawyer. and though Philip
had not asked single question, ne
knew quite well what had hap
pened.
Ruin was averted and life was
to go on as 1t had been before that
fatefuI night when they had asked
this sacrifice of him.
The congratulations OF his friends
were perhaps harder to bear than
anything else.
But the trouble was that nobody
even suspected IT, least of all Eva
herself. and young Winterdick felt
that It was in her trust and igno-
rance that fettered him hand and
foot.
There wac nothing to do but go
on with 1T. to make the best of
rotten business. to try and keep her
blind to the truth until the end OF
the chapter
The only one who was getting
whoie-hearted enjoyment out of the
engagement seemed to be Mr.. Den
nison. ,.s
