All softer parts of an insect are In

A most oppOrtune lull followed,
when Harriet Field had time to collect
her thoughts. and get a true perspec-

was quiet, the domestic .machinery

She dined as usual alone, that eve

o'clock, to receive the demure nOtifica
ton from Rosa that Mrs. Carter would
like to see her. With hardly an in
stant's delay she went downstairs.

herself, as she reached Madame Car

was whisked upstairs. She was To
meet Nina here. and she glanced about
for the big limousine at the curb, as an
indication that the old lady might be
ready to accompany them back to
Crownlands. But there was no car in
sight. The maids first statement was
that Miss Carter had gone home with
her brother. and then Madame Carter
came magnificently into the room.

old lady. Harriet could see that she
was pleased about something.
"Gone home with Ward?" Harriet
asked. Madame Carter never shook
hands with her; there was conscious
superiority In the little omission. She
sank into a chair, and Harriet sat
down.
