She led him to the nearest dance
space. At every vision of her, where
ever she went, orchestras burst into
their melodies. She stopped the band
that eSSayed a fox trot and ordered
Kenilworth. When the music died
she turned to another, waving her
hand as she was swept away.
Dorminster also captured her for
tleeting minute. He found her stand
ing at the side of one of the fairy
pools shut off from view by a cluster
OF columns which supported one of
the arcs that spread the imitation
moonlight. The little lake was one of
those that were permanently part of
The landscape scheme of the grounds,
and the home of a group of swans.
One of the ma jestic creatures, petu-
liant at the inroad upon accus-
toned hours of slumber, had APP
preached the slender figure at the
waters edge angrily, with a rasping
protest. When it saw that the single
form was that of its mistress it
Smoothed its wings and Craned its neck
toward her. She had offered it no
crumb, but it did not withdraw its
outstretching head. Its bead-like eyes
remained fixed upon her. The appear

her, drove the water bird away.

with earnest things, just as his lips
had spoken only inner anxieties.
When they were about to move out or
the shelter of the f1ower-hung pillars
he took her suddenly in his arms. she
did not resist, but yielded to him limp
ly. He felt no response In the slim
little body and released her. he was
conscious, though, that IN tnat EN-

potentate endowed his favorite COM

Annette grounds, with a marvellous
coat of emeralds. The guests OF
Joanna and Yyonne knew this time
had arrived when, shortly after 2
O'Clock, when the fragrance of mimosa
was heaviest, the moonlight arcs were
swung by invisible hands until their
mellow glow was concentrated upon
the long, low pavilion built behind
the Trianon house. There had been a
mystery about this pavilion that had
whetted curiosities. During the ear
lier portion of the night it had been
wrapped in darkness. Now it was
bathed in brilliance. and a hitherto
unheard orchestra was playing SYM
phonic strains that contrasted strange
" with the more accustomed jazz.
With shrill laughter and strident &C

upon the lighted pavilion and surged
between it's columns into the little sea
of seats provided for them before a
stage draped by a quivering curtain

pavilion the fOotmen and caterers be-
gan their task of gathering up the
various paraphernalia of the night,

Stragglers brushed by them. They
would have surrounded the two host
esses. but Joanna urged them all to
join the crowd under the mimosa roof.
When there was opportunity she took
both of Yvonnes hands in hers.

ly, "or whatever happens want you

She dropped the older girls hands,
then, and went toward the hidden
door that led from the outer lawn
onto the stage behind the flower cur
tain. Yvonne reached out to catch at
her, but was too late. She stood, I'M
determined, until Kenilworth ap-
preached her. She went with him to
their seats before the stage. AS if
their arrival were a signal the leader
of the orchestra raised his baton. The
lights were extinguished. The cur
tain of flower petals parted. There
was deathly stiffness, then, like the
breaking Of a great wave into surf, a
gasp swept up from the audience.

would be the breaking up of the Gold
en- Girls fete.
Kenilworth and Yvonne walked to-
gether to the cluster of seats that
had been reserved for Joanna and her
closest intimates. They saw that Ted
dy Dorminster and Betty Weymouth,
Prince Michael and others who would
naturally be of their party had found
their places. Brandon's absence from
the fete already had been commented
upon. But both kenilworth and
Yvonne were curious when they saw
that Joanna was not among her
guests.
