 plcated skirt which made her look larger than she was. She was a sight and a fright.
 Beside her. in her silvery gray clothes. Lily was slender and lovely as 2 silver birch tree.
 Funny" thought Lily. as she vanished into the house. Funny that a. comic strip woman like Sadye can hold a good looking man like Roy"
 For there was no doubt that she another woman. He never glanced at Lily. for all her good looks. but went on fiddling with his pieces of steel wire and whistling under his breath while Sadye was gone.
 She was gone fully five minutes and when shc came back her face was scarlet. She looked angry.
 Did you find my things?" Lily asked her, and she nodded her head ] jerkily.
 | aren't yours.' she said. her nostrls | dilating. They evidently belong to that Drummond man. His initials are on them--and I've just been | wondering" narrowed her little | sharp whether l ought tC give you those things. Seems 10 me l hat if you are accusing Pat of being | in love with somebody else in your ! divorce suit, hc ought 10 know that prummond gave you those things. They're proof that you used to sec him while you were living with Pat No. you cant have them. I'm sorr:.,. T
 Lily stared 1t her helplessly, with her big, grc7nish- gray eyes.
 T just knew yo,I'd do that if you got your hands on those things" she cried. "J just knew it.'
 Sadye laughed unplCasantly. And that's why you came here, soft 1 soaping around Roy, isn't it?" she asked. Isn't it? 1ou think you'rc quite vamp. don't you? But don't waste your time iryin. to vamp Roy. IL cant be done"
 Lily shiNercd at her cheerful, coars" franllnrSS. It Sccllod to her, as she went away, beaten, that it was just as bad 10 tcll the truth the way Sadye told it, as it was to tell q few polite lies once in ThIl' The way l do,' she sail 10 herself. It was the first time in ! her life she ever had confessed. even 10 herself. that she did not always trlI the truth.
 That was something in her favor, if shed only r"alized if. Lily told Staloy Dlu,uuond about the flask and the cigarct case the next day whom they went for an other whole day in he country. The | first picnic had been such a success | once.
 "only this time well take our own | lunch" h. said. We can eat il in | the car. l hate taN"rns and places 1 where they stand around and look at us. | don't like to sec people look ! iig at Nou. .. cr."
 l'ut today'S picnic WAS not tht. l SurCoSS that the first on" had been. For on" thing, ;hn1c bad hron no | gitt"riug present 10 start il off with. 1 as ih"re had been ou tho first 1 morning when Staloy had given his [ brld"-to-h be th" app',ir.-and ,lla - moud bracelet.
