They stood in groups and for quite
a while no one knew just what to
do. Barbara's face had grown very
pale-her eyes shone.
Lee Whitman came Up to CEickie.
He said: after this fool rehearsal

She said. "All risilt-but will you
honestly keep the word?'
II will.
They began the rehearsal-walk-
ing down f. path that on either side
massed the pink and white of little
Sankssia ruses. N[yra kept up a
nervous, suppressed whisper, I'm

PERHAPS" A subtle agitation
orept into Chickie's nerves. Myras
squirting eyes shot little glances at
her. Her forehead wrinkled as
though she were puzzled.
A maid brought out basket and
one of the great picture hats be-
cause the girls were uncertain how
they should hold their flowers. Myra
thrust it at Chickie. you do it
you're that clever.
Luis Lamarck filled the basket
with the roses and Chickie put it on
her arm, the wondrous picture hat
framing the gold hair. They made
her walk with it. She laughed.
Al last it was over. Barbara run

Myra Kings eyes focused narrow

Chiclzies face. She said slowly, "Ie

Myra repeated, "Chickie Bryce"
The puzzlement gave place to a look
of blank establishment. "Did you
happen to know Bess Abbott? You
did. didn't your"
'Yes-why, yes
Myra King stared until the color
swept Chickies face. She said
coolly, Eyes; and you used to go to
the philosophy lectures, didn't you?
I saw you there. You came with
Barry Dunno"
Chiclxie felt fire running up from
her throat, licking in tongues at
her ears.
Myra Kings face was sharp as
knife. She said: IT know that name!
I remember you perfectly. = Miss
Miss Bryce-perfectly!'
She turned and walked over to
bench where Edith Potter was sit
ting.

Chickie saw this. Her breath
smothered. She stood with the
basket of roses on her arm. She
touched the petals. There seemed a
rushing about her; a loud running
of feet.
Suddenly Edith's head flung up
ward and her eyes came flashing to
the trees where Chickie stood.
1t was as though a stain spread
cruelty upon her. She noticed her
hands. They shook.
She walked down the path; with
mighty effort held her head erect
smiling. She wanted to run
wanted wildly to run; wanted to
glance backward and see if Edith
followed.
She reached her room, closed the
door, pressing a moment against it..
Half fainting, she whispered:
Now" and waited.
Feet came with a snap down the
hall-a hand on the knob. Q Chickie
tried to say: "Well-who is it?" Not
sound came to her lips.
The door opened. Edith faced her.
Her ewes were hard and burning.
She stood perfectly still and looked
at Chickie. Then she walked up and
stripped the basket from Chickie's
arm. You're to leave. The chauf-
feur will he here In ten minutes"
Chickie had a mad, flaming sensa-
ton as of fire breaking upon her.
Yet she tried to stand nobly; tried to
speak. Aware Of a strained, unnat-
ural dignity, she repeated: Leave?
You wish me to leave?'
Edith glanced about the room-a
swift, sharp glance. Then she went
up and locked the door. Get your
things. You're going at once. Take
