In few minutes they passed a
out tiny caviar sandwiches and 9TH
er relishes.
I'm hungry. Davie." said Emily.
Then David remembered that he
had had no dinner, and while he
was filling plate with lobster sal
ad. stuffed celery. brown bread,
sandwiches cold chicken and olives,
Emily got one of the serving men
to place low table Just before the
clustering palms.
1--WE can see everyone and hear
some of them" she said, gaily,
while we eat. think it will amuse
you"
kenmore did not realize what
Emily's gay remark about their
having place where they could see
all that went on in the room meant,
until Emily asked:
well, Davie. how do you think
Lynda looks"
Lynda, Lynda" he answered in
surprise. Il have not seen her yet
IF you look through the palms
just in front of you, you will not
only be able to see Lynda, hut one
of the handsomest young men in
the city,
The chicken salad that was on
its way to David's mouth was sud-
denly arrested. Just on the other
side of the foliage was Lynda and
young Armitage. She was all in
white. There was no color about
her except the gorgeous purple blue
color of her eyes. the soft rose pink
of her cheeks, and the midnight
darkness of her sleek, black hair.
She was bending over Armltage
on the sofa, trying to make MN
more comfortable. At first David
did not see his face, but as she drew
UP, Ralph Armitage put out his
hands and clasped her beautiful,
bare arms.
mo, don't go back to that chair,
Lynda" he said. sit down here
beside me; not too far away. 1t
seems as though l was looking at
YOU for the first time. ! had no
idea that any girl could look SO
beautiful in white. ] think I shall
issue an order that all the girls in
my office shall wear white smocks
in the future"
will you pay for the laundry and
dry cleaning" asked Lynda, with
a grin.
"Of course I will. Why did you
not write me a note while l was In
that cursed hospital?'
Because your father told mo
that it was against the doctors or
ders to send you anything about
business"
who said anything about bust
ness, my dear? l am sure ! did
not"
David put down the fork and IN
consciously sat up straighter, He did
not want to listen. Shall We
dance" he said to Emily.
She did not answer for a moment.
The answer might prove compli-
cation. She sensed that if David
ever got her away from that table
on the excuse Of dancing, he would
never come back to the place again.
'In just a minute, David Emily
answered This parfait will be all
melted before We get back
But, Emily. now that l know
Lynda and Armitage are so near, ]
am afraid to stay here. / do not
want to listen. but-well, you know
| am human"
"Oh. what's the use Of being so
saueamish? You ought to know,
Dayie. that where Ralph Armitagc
is. always there will be love MAX
ing, especially when he is so ro-
| mantically stove up as he is to-
night. IT is Armi's big moment, and
can tell you. as well as the world
, in general. that he is not going tc
LET a bit of it get away from him
and I think it would be all the
more to the good If he thought his
/ little dramatics had an audience
David said no more about i. He
| tried his best not TO listen. but
