 It was not with any faith in my ability to persuade her that 1 took the receiver from Manville.
 This is Susan, Aunt Cynthia. Won't you change your mind and come over? If you and Mrs. Cranston re main. away it will spoil table and all the people you know and like are here. ''

 When I accepted I fully intended to come. But 1 have been thinking mat ters over. 1 cannot be a guest in the house l had been allowed to consider was to be my home the rest of my life. That is all. Good night"
 I repeated what she had said to Man vile, softening it not q bit. was furious. I did not believe her, but thought she had waited until the last moment purposely to embarass me.
 I called June out and asked her what we could do.
 That's easy :! she said, in her bright way. "Of course you cant play. will not, either. You will have seven tables instead of eight, that is all. It's too bad. but it might have been worse" :"
 "It is q deliberate insult" l could not help but believe it.
 Don't let it spoil Xour good time or make your guests uncomfortable" she warned-a warning I needed and which I needed as far as it was in my power to do so. But-I had no opportunity to show my game and my admittance to the club receded.

CHAPTER 173

There was no doubt of the, sin- cerity back of the words. Marian stretched out her hands to the man. He took them in his and kissed them.
 Dear girl!7 he murmered. "I wish to heaven you were as happy as l am ]"
 Don't bother about me ]" she said. Everything will come out all right in the long run. Now tell me about your Helen"
 He did not need a second bidding, but talked long and rapturously of the girl he loved. He had known her only for a few weeks, and had fallen in love with her the first time he had seen her.
 She's got lots of sense, too," he said. T don't understand why she took 2 fancy to me. But she says she did
 "Of course, she did," Marian smiled.
 He and Helen were not to be mar ried until spring. Her people lived in New York.
 As he made this statement a sudden idea came to George.
 q say!" he exclaimed, "she will keep an eye on you when you go down there! You must meet her first"
 Marian checked him by a gesture. "Now she protested sharply. "She must not know me yet. Please not, George! Later, if I am ever like other people, mean if ever get something to do besides dancing in a cabaret-I would love to meet her. As it is, her family would not want her to know a public dancer if, as is probable, they are conventional people-such as my own father and mother were"
 When she and I are married she will know my friends-and you are one of them" Dixon declared.
 Marian tried to smile. Wait until you are married before she meets me-" she urged. T would rather, really"
 All right! :" he agreed. Your word goes. But you can't keep me from tell ing her you are a star-and all about you."
 Tell her all you like" Marian re- piled But do not force upon her public performer just as soon as you are engaged to her. It would not be fair"
 When George had gone Marian did not regret her prohibition. Unless she could meet people socially on their own level, she would meet none of them.
 She said nothing of all this to Lois. The child had been very reticent since last Sunday. Marian would try to profit by her sisters example.

 I spent hours and hours planning that supper, then more hours providing materials for cook to prepare it. bought the prettiest prizes l could find, yet used a great deal of time and thought in finding something odd or at least different from the usual stereO- typed article.
 I also bought new dress. And I did not consult Manville. It was a lovely, soft yellow, with more vivid trimmings of the same color. It was lovely, and June, who was with me when I selected it, said 1t was dis gracefully becoming" I only hoped Manville would like it and not be cross because had not asked his advice.
 When it came home, day or two be- fore the party, tried it on after dinner and then went into the library where he was smoking.
 Aunt Cynthia is coming, Manville. She accepted today. And how do you like my dress? Isn't it pretty! You know this is my first big affair in a long time. I do want to look nicely" I think my announcement that his aunt had accepted rather softened him to- ward the second. He looked at me critically, then said:
 'Yes, it looks very we'll. Why didn't you ask me to go with you?"
 Because, Manville, want to stand on my own feet. Please do not dis parage the dress because of that. Tell me if you consider it becoming and if you like it.'
 "Yes, to both questions. How are you getting on with your supper? If you need my help do not be too stub born to ask for it. It would be un- forgivable to have things go wrong with the set you have invited" His remark showed me he had been anxious over my ability to cater. At first I was tempted to show him my menu, then de- cided not to. would surprise him.

 Their vacations merely consist in do- ing their usual labor under conditions that make it 10 times harder than 1t was at home, and it is about as much rest to them as it would be to man if he spent his holiday running vil- lage store, or practicing law or medicine without his office assistants.
 Therefore,I believe that every

 leave her husband and her home,
