when Suwanee came back in. He
did not look at Elanda. He didn't
dare. SO he sat with his head down,
as though he were IN a deep study.
AS a matter Of fact he was. He was
trying to remember where he had
seen the Englishman before. Elanda
had told him Lord Dusenberry had
only been in America a few DAYS.
Perhaps. therefore, it was a case of
resemblance. But now and then he
stole a glance at him-and the
oftener he looked the more certain
he was he had seen him. IL was an
annoyin mi puzzle.
IL seemed hours 70 Elanda before

And now, Miss Elanda Lee, meg

Home Sweet Home.
Elanda stood slim End rirlish

and sang. She never had looked so
lovely TO Suwanee before. Her semi
evening gown of lemon georgette
fell in graceful folds around her
slender ankles and her auburn head
darted fire from the light suspend
ed above her. A fit of u-nreasoning
jealousy swept over Suwanee.
But what was the use? Elanda
would do as she pleased. She was
not the type YOU could sit down
and reason with. Too stubborn and
sure Of herself. Perhaps she would
burn her fingers severely some Of
these days. Then she would realize.
like a stubborn little child, that one
could not play with fire without
suffering the consequences.
Suwanee looked at the gangly
Englishman-Sitting, devoted and
foppish, not taking his eyes off
Elanda-and was seized with a
desire to knock The look off his
face with a doubled fist. Surely
Elanda could not 50 completely lose
common sense in her determination
10 find position and wealth Is 10
take seriously a man with a "gootey
maD like that" Those were
5uwanee's thoughts put into words.
When Elanda finished she picked
Ip her yellow Spanish shawl from

Ousenberry to follow her quietly.

away gently.
I'm not very hungry. but y IS

house for a little while. I'd like
you 70 meet my girl friend and

She knew the English were
formal about girls being properly
chaperoned and thought II would
make a better impression II she
showed him She wanted him 70
meet her chaperones before his suit
progressed too far.

She grabbed Bang and pushed him
toward the door:
Here comes the dookl You 80.

mot in my house, you don't.
You're queen here"
Elanda was trembling with nerv-
BUSINESS when she introduced him.
Would Dixie behave for a change
and not embarrass her and ruin her
chances? Lord Dusenberry beamed
on Dixie and Bang and kissed
Dixie's hand.
