Sonia, distinctive always in dress,
dsliked the rose-colored negligee
Maxine bought to replace it. But
she did not like to express herself
to plainly, conscious that their
tastes in clothes frequently clashed.
In the package with the negligee
was a peach-colored crepe night
gown heavy with lace.
What is the idea?' asked Sonia.
You act like you were going on
your honeymoon"
Maxine smiled. "There Ylight he

Sonia said nothing, but decided
secretly that her white gown and old
gray negligee would have to do.
She had not seen so much of
Franklin as usual that week. There
had been a dinner dance in his
own set, and he explained to her
that if he was to he away over Sun.

mother Sonia agreed. serene in
the thought Of the approaching
weekend. He had not explained
which nights were to be spent at
home, but she had naturally as
sumed all that he was not with her,
with the exception OF the dinner.
Having had more sleep than she was
accustomed to, Sonia became rest
less by Thursday. She felt that she
could not endure another evening
alone in the apartment. For the
first time since she had dismissed
him, she wished for Henderson. 1t
would be nice to have him always
on hand to fill up a vacant evening,
although she realized she could not
expect that.
Then she thought of Don Still

as well as her vanity that he had not

had been days since she had even
thought of him. His attitude at the
office was coldly noncommittal. but
she decided instantly that it would
never be safe to rouse him. Better
to let sleeping dogs lie" At last,
in desperation, she telephoned Violet
and suggested a movie"
AS they waited in the line outside
the Warfield, Violet whispered,
who's that with Franklin Crane?"
He was in front of them, with
only four people between. A charm
ing, vivacious girl of his own age
was beside him. Sonia stared, sick
at heart. at the rich fur coat. the
blonde bobbed hair curling softly
under the plain little hat. Every.
thing about her suggested breeding
and luxury.
Like Sidney, only much more so,
thought Sonia
Her eyes were blue and gay. She
turned from time to time to watch
the line forming behind them, keep
ing close hold of Franklin's arm.
