lavender spray bouquet. Several sprigs
of lavender are tied together firmly
and covered with silk net or maline.

Novelty in Sachets for Christmas

SachetS are among the sweetest of
sweet gifts to send our friends at

continual popularity is that woman
cannot have too many. There are so
many things in bureau drawers and in
closets that are the nicer for having
the fragrant accessories of sweetness
kept with them. These need replenish-

sachetS at Christmas fill a need.

that Johns glance repeatedly swept
the room, the litter at the roulette
table reminiscent of the recent scene,
she saw, too, that Joanna, watching
John furtively, was conscious of his
inspections of the gambling rooms,
the gambling company, and of her.
On the terrace, free from the cease

rooms, the party stood for few
moments, by a common consent,
against the white balustrade.
Michael and Kenilworth plunged into
their polite appropriations of the

architect had drawn to his plan for

of that understanding.

declared; But we are not to stand

know. You, too, Roddy, if you will.

Prince Michael bowed deliberately.
and acknowledged that he was
dining tete a tete. Although it
should be with some one else" he
added, favoring Joanna with a
meaning glance that was a reminder
of the dash to the frontier the night
before. Kenilworth would have ac-
cepted promptly the welcome to
Annette, but Yvonne interfered.
"You can take me to the Metro,

to dress"
Joanna thanked her with her eyes.
Kenilwcrth was inclined to be stub,
born, but Yvonne managed the sit
uation. Presently Joanna and John
were speeding out the sea road, in
her luxurious foreign car toward
VIA Annette. The lights Of the
early evening were twinkling in the
bay. and the perfumes of orange and
lemon and geranium were ushering
in the mellow Riviera night.
Between the two people in the car
there was some subtle barrier. 1t

that's an original idea, and new,
wasn't it? And it's so splendid"
RI Ohm was silent moment.
Joanna kept her glance on
0 his face.
THAT is an odd circumstance" he
said, slowly. During that first in
terview with Mr.. Foreman, when he
brought up my secret idea, he made
the suggestion of symbolizing the ro-
nance behind the soldier with the
figure of a young girl, representing
the youth of all ages. He had
worked out that thought himself. or
it had been worked out for him.
Strangely, too, it seemed to me you
had said one time, when you did
bother your head by listening to me,

his lips. / remembered you said

After a time restraint settled be-

the moon lit grounds for a turn
among the gardens. They came
upon a litter of timber. I'm hav-

Johns Success


OHM, changed much, despite
his dislike of being expected
G2I to be different, put Joanna's
hands together and wrapped his own
about them.
Quite a few of the men who had
been spectators to the Golden Girls
reckless plays. and had marvelled
anew at the abandon with which
she tossed fortunes into the discard
when she pitted a stubborn will
against the implacable rules of
chance, gave John a deeply specu-
lative glance. Among the crowd
about the roulette table there had
been many women, smart women
from Rome, and Madrid, and Paris,
with sprinkling of Americans who
were distinguished by their shy won
der at the boldness with which the
others Haunted their banner of sex.
Some of these watched the girl
who greeted the stranger so intently
that their own stares seemed to
