For there was no doubt that she

went on fiddling with his pieces OF

Lily shivered at her cheerful.
coarse frankness. It seemed
to her, as she went away, beaten,
that it was just as bad to tell the
truth the way Sadye told it. as 1t
was to tell few polite lies once
in a while. "The way do" she
said to herself. 1t was the first
time in her life she ever had
confessed, even to herself, that
she did not always tell the truth.
That was something in her
favor, IL she'd only realized 1t.
Lily told Staley Drummond
about the flask and the cigaret
case the next day. when they
went for another whole day in
the country. The first picnic
had been such q success that
Staley wanted another one at
once.

But today's picnic was not the
success that the first one had
been. For one thing, there had
been no glitterinE present to start
off with. as there had been on the
first morning when Staley had
given his bride-to-be the sapphire
and-diamond bracelet. And so
Lily was not buhbling and gay
as she had been two days before.
For another thing. she was
worried, and she showed It.
What's wrong with 1ou?"
staley wanted to know before
they had covered the first mile,
and Lily told him.
"Sadye Jefferson has that
whisky flask you gave me-" she
explained to MIN, "and that
clgaret case. You remember they
both had your initials on them?
Well, she found them among
some things I'd left in the flat,
