 :, Let's do something nice, Alan" said Chummy, when Steyne called for her, shortly before seven O'clock that evening.
 {. She had telephoned to him, meanwhile, that Judy had accepted nn Invitation to dine with them. i've arranged to go back to my niace," he answered. "Wen pick S,n Dumont, and I've asked Hylton 10 look in-he's my old school ahun. You'll like him. He's just back from Persia, where he's build fne A railway. You haven't seen my room since. the piano came in." "That will be perfectly lovely, Alan" the girl said. Judy has never seen your place at all. I'm sure it's the incest in New York! E And where shall we dine? You're looking awfully smart = what about that little res taurant you took me to lunch at inc other day?" she suggested.
 "The Rochemont? Yes, it's nice and quiet, and good food. We'll go there."
 .1NThey called for Judy. who ap- peared all in yellow, with prll- liant orange sash and stockings, and gold -tinsel shoes. She was Tn wild spirits, and the meal was desperately merry one.
 Nf Afterward they went 10 1etch Bastien at the Cafe Turc. The girls waited outside in the cab while Alan went in. He came back not only with Dumont, but with Michael Stone and Tony Leigh, whom Judy greeted with exuberant affection. She affirmed that the champagne had gone to her head, but Chummy declared that she had only drunk one glass. so 1t was tm- possible.

This nAcessitated two cabs. and as an- o&her was called, Chummy got out of the first one and said to Steyne: ""You go on with Judy and Tony. Michael and I will drive with Bas- tien to get his violin and we'll fol- low you"
 "a Steyne seemed to hesitate for a moment; then he got into the cab. The driver, mistaking the in eentions of the others, drove off at once before Tony Leigh had time 10 enter the vehicle. Alan leaned out of the window to stop the man, hut Leigh gesticulated to the effect that he would follow with the others, so Judy and Alan were n1one.
 When they reached his abode, he did not touch her hand to help her cut. In silence they mounted the stairs. Steyne was breathing heavi- 4y, as if with exertion. Judy stood like a little statue while he opened Ehe door.
 ."Here is my room." he said. .... She stepped in and looked around.
 4sIt was still very bare, but it had pleasing color, chiefly blue, in The curtains and the chair covers. There were heaps of books. The easels were at one end. From the pointed roof hung old brass lamps on chains. The floor was polished and waxed, and only few small rugs lay on 1t.
 It was still light, but Alan switched on the bulbs in the old lamps, which gave an effect of blue -and-yellow twilight. mingling with the rosy glow that still lin Rered over the river in the west. ', Would you like to see my little garden up on the roof?" he asked. sN~ Judy shook her head.
