wedding!t said Chef, looking al
Byrd %curiously. His eyes were say
ing that he couldn't believe it OF
her. Of all people!
"Not so slow, en-, papa?" said
Tiny, winking at Fred. Come on,
let's see what you've been hanging
on Larry" continued Tiny, delight
eddy. Il hope it's a plenty!"
"Oh, I'd rather not" said Byrd,
embarrassed.
Larry sent her a sharp glance,
which carried a word OF dIsapproval.
India had already opened the box
Is, and vas holding out the dresse5
for e~verybody's inspection. Some
thing like a tiny smile swept her
face. One glance 1t them, as she
held them high above her head,
turned Larry's face purple.
They're real sweet" warbied
Tiny, in her most conventional
voice.
Byrd could see by their express
sions that there was something ter
ribly wrong with them. India had
turned her back to Byrd, and was
laying them out on the bed. Byrd
felt her ridicule through her shout
der blades.
Byrd hurried over 10 the bed and,
sweeping UP the garments, carried
them in one armtul TO the closet,
and dumped them ANONYMOUSLY on
the floor. Tears Of chagrin smarted
in her eyes.
She knew if she had spent several
hundred dollars on them. they would
have been extravagantly admired.
OF course the price marks were
plainly visible as the tags dangled
from them. Twenty-Five dollars
apiece. She wouldn't give them the
satisfaction of knowing that they
had been higher priced.

night, didn't you, Ladybird ?" asked
Fred. laughing. "Come on, tell US
where YOU put in the rest OF the
night. Ii you don't, someone else
will"

admitted. innocently. II got awfully
tired and went TO bed. / don't know
where Larry was. He stayed some

There vas a simultaneous shrek.

chair with his fists. Tiny held her
sides and looked around the room,
challenging anybody TO tell a better

catch her breath for five minutes.

hours and thought I'd better see If
she was sick or somethin'. | asked
everybody II they had seen her. No

vators." said Larry.
Nope, Sitting on the floor in the
corner Of a clothes closet with all
the clothes pulled down around her
head. She thought she was in bed
and trying 10 pull up the covers.
Fred continued to laugh uproar-
iously. No matter what perfectly
ridiculous thing Tiny did, il always
amused him. In his eyes, she was
the cleverest oma in the world.
"Oh. Fred. now what did you 20

Tiny pouted for a minute and then
suddenly frightened at the thought
that she actually had done IN orig

next time we have a party, let's

tired easily of Tiny.

dance an intricate step toward
Larry. making a graceful and sinu-
Gus figure as she pretended to be
dancing before the occupant Of a
throne from whom she was begging
favors. In n low voice she chanted,

IAN hour after Byrd had gone TO

wobbly Larry to his room and push

Then she turned TO Byrd with
a penitent expression.

night" she said. going toward her
in a friendly fashion. I'm sorry.

Byrd took a tiny swallow and de-
eided 1t was the last time she'd con-
sent TO be dictated to about what
she should do or not do.
Byrd learned that picking up"
after a party had Just as much lure
rs the party itself. There was a
hilarious relating and recounting of
every incident that had occurred to
night before and a particular relish
in telling anything that had the
flavor Of being risque. Each one
was bursting to tell just what had
struck him MS the most amusing in
cident Of the whole evening.

READ THIS FIRST:
Several disturbing elements had
already entered the life Of Byrd
Hamilton, who had just married the
arrogant, irresistible Larry Brown
ing. They were spending the night
at the Blackstone, at Cincinnati
where Larry's friends. who had come
TO attend their wedding, were CIV
ing a party in their honor. When
the party had reached a high pitch
in the crowded rooms, Byrd found
that this fast-moving crowd had no
interest for her. When she discov-
cred India Campbell, a former
sweetheart Of Larry's and Larry sit
ting dangerously on a window sill
before an open window, they misin-
~terpreted her anxiety as jealousy.
Humiliated, she left the party and
returned to their rooms. She drop
ped off to sleep. The next morn
ing she awoke TO find that Larry
had not yet returned.
A few hours later, Larry, dishelv-
ed and weary. arrived, supported by
Chef. His penitenee and promises
moved her TO forgiveness, for e
relief at having him safely back o.
liberated every other feeling. In
onterast TO Larry's elaborate ward
robe. Byrd's wedding finery looked
shabby and homemade. and while
he was sleeping. she decided to 20
70 the nearby department store and
buy some clothes. She returned a
few hours later, to find L-other
party in progress in their suite.
(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
CHAPTER VII
AS she opened the door. she took
one hasty look around the room
the same faces that had danced
through her head all night long
the same faces whic Sc had left
early that morning. in an aura of
smoke. dull-eyed and drained OF all
expression-thst flat wash which
too much gin imparts.
But, strangely enough, everyone
looked refreshed. even with the few
hours sleep they had had. Byrd
decided il was because they were
accustomed to this constant round
and covered up the signs 81 wear
mess with good clothes and immac-
ulate grooming.
Here's the early hird'.' someone
called as she entered. "She's been
picking up worms at Hearst's de-
partment store"
India Cambell and Tiny Oberman
came toward her as Byrd stood
there. uncertain what to do. as If
she had known her a lifetime.
She drew her to the table. where
Larry's bottles presided. A huge
bowl Of cracked ice and many bot
ties of charged waters had been add
ed TO the litter.
She pulled away from India 70 tell
her that Larry was quite i'll. when
she saw Larry himself. sketchily

At the last moment, the crowd
compromised on the matter of &C
companying the bridal couple to
White Sulphur Springs By going to
the train. There were hilarious
good-bys.
Byrd leaned against the window
waving her hand amid the profu-
sion Of roses that filled the room,
throwing kisses as the train started
% move. Suddenly she noted Larry :
absence and decided to join him IN
the v~estibule.
But he was nowhere in sight.
"A hand seemed 10 hold her throat
in a vice-like griup. what in the
world will I do IL he's missed the
train" she thought wildly.
