before him. For q moment he
wished that he had fallen In love
with woman incapable Of To-

CONSPICUOUS as he hated poverty

People about them were litter

a guffaw. Madame Zattiany was
calmly eating her dinner. The
TRADE might have fallen on deaf
ears.
Clavering's skin had turned al
most black. His eyes looked muir
derous. But he did not raise his
voice. Go back to your table,"
he said peremptorily. You've

'"The scene could hardly be

He half rose. Even Madame
Zattiany glanced at him appre-

Miss Oglethorpe laughed un-

least we never furnish material
for your newspapers. That's
just one thing we think beneath

hand. Good night, Madame
Zattiany," she said with really
comical assumption of the grand
manner. "It has been great
pleasure to meet you."
Madame Zattainy took the prof

said sweetly, "Your little comedy
has been most amusing. Many
thanks"
Miss Oglethorpe jerhed her
shoulders. ''Well, console dear

She ran hack to her table, and
its hilarity was shortly aug

Madame Zattainy looked at
Clavering aghast. But it is
worse than I supposedv' she ex-
claimed. "It is really tragedy.
Poor Mrs. Oglethorpe." Then
she laughed silently but with in
tense amusement. "I wish she
had been here! After all!
Nevertheless, it is a tragedy.
An Oglethorpe! A mere child in
toxicated and truly afro
cious manners. Why don't her
people put her In a sanitarium?''
Parents count about as much
today as women counted in the
cave era. But 1t is abominab1e

"Oh, that! I have been con-

center of the stage! II any one
is to be commiserated, it is you.
But you really behaved admir-
ably: I could only admire your
restraint"
Clavering's ferment subsided,
and he returned her smile. ST

Murder would have been too
good for her. But you are an
angel. And for all her bravado
you must have made her feel
like the little vulgarian she is.
