DRAWER


DRAWER
My, it seems good to get home
again. I wonder if you have missed
me, dear little Marquise? I was so
glad to get back and find that
mother Prescott had not found your
secret drawer. that is so full Of my
condolences now instead Of yours.
The last day Of my stay in New
York was rather unhappy.
Alice acted like a petuIant child
/ 1t seems that when I elected to stay
at home and not so with the family
to the opera on the evening before
my departure. Karl was much ~disaP-
pointed. He seemed to think that as
| it was our last evening in New York
/ 1 should not stay away from his
[ party, which I found out aftcrward
he had planned on magnificent
scale, beginning with a box at the
Metropolitan Opera House, and end
| ing with a gorgeous supper and
dancing al the Little Club.
He acted as though you We're the
guest Of honor. Les. Alice said
We'll. wasn't She" asked mother
quietly, who was standing by. L
cannot Understand you, Alice. You
know you cannot always be the cen
ter OF attraction. I have felt often
since we have been staying here in
4 New York that had l been Karl i
would have boxed your ears"
Alice looked at mother disgustedly
Il am afraid we left Alice 700 long
in England alone. Leslie. Kari has
! evidently spoiled her She expects
HIM to be at her beck and call every
minute
II have found that she is put out
Z = Karl is even fually devoted to me-
/ LAST night at the opera she wore
new string Of peaTls. Kari put them
/ on Ter just before we left. 1t was a
magnificent gift anI any other girl
would have been wild with delight,
but what do you think she said?
She turned from the mirror
where she had been looking at them
/ around her throat and exclaimed
with a disappointed frown. u don't
think they are as pretty as Leshe's'.
What do you mean I asked.
You know Leslie's necklace is only
a string of imitation beads. You
gave it to her yourself.
she didn't deign to answer but
took Karls arm and preceded<us to
the motor"
Oh, little Marquise, I wish hadn't
promised Karl not to tell. If l had
not l ~oUid then and there have told
mother the whole story.
am going to put those pearls in
the little secret drawer here and
keep them out of my sight for a long
time.
1t is a strange thing that while I
have been perfectly innocent in this
matter those Inflated gems have
made me unhappy ever since my
marriage, and now because I foolish
ly told Karl I would keep them I
can't even tell Jack about them. AS
Ruth says, Jack might forgive me
the pearls because he would realize
that at first / did ~not know they
were real. but he would never for
give me for letting Karl pay SIS, 900
to keep the string intact
AS it is, 1 have just got to sit
tight and hope for the best.
