She smiled at him engagingly.
She had no notion why her remark
about habits had pleased him, but
his sudden enthusiasm was COM
plimentary.
He was the best-looking man she
knew. He was positively better
looking than Gary Cooper, and so
distinguished. Shed bet he would
be grand with necking-those firm
lips under that handsome mus
tache
TELL me-" he said half teasingly,
what are you much for?"
Il don't get you" she said, and
went on to say quickly, do you
know you are just terribly good
Iooking?"
Thank YOU" he said. "It is very
kind Of you to say so. Do you know
that you are extremely pretty? Now,
then, you say that you aren't much
for habits; tell me, what are you
much for?"
His teasing brought the note of
intimacy that had been so stupidity
lacking until now. Her curioSities
were acute, and her impulses were
undisciplined.
Two scurrying, jerking movements
across the blanket brought her be-
side him, snuggled just under his
shoulder.
"This?" she questioned. How
about you"
Her lip paste was perfumed. Her
hair smelled, disappointingly, of

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

THREE more trilled alternatives
l. before Mary Frances turned
from the telephone to Ann. "Maynt
I please go over to Ermintrudes
for just half an hour? Ple-ase?"
mo-" said Ann firmly. you
were there last night I told you
that wanted you to help me this
evening"
But what in the world" asked
Resale, though indulgently, is this
notion of yours about cleaning the
hall tonight, Ann? Such an odd
time to choose"
May II" whined Mary Frances.
mo, dear said Ann. you may
not"
Darling" said Rosalie, the peace
maker perpetual, ask your little
friend to come here and visit you
this evening"
NO" said Ann. Mary Frances
must help me this evening"
Mary Frances at the telephone
wilted and dropped; desire for liv-
ing went from her; she was abused,
martyred, and this she gave to
Rosalie, along with a quiyering
lower lip and a knuckle close to
her eye ready to wipe away the
tears that even her courage could
not long forestan
Rosalie, sorrowful, too, with SYM
pathy, said, Dearest, tell your lit
tie friend that you will call her
again in a few minutes, and We'll
see"
And Mary Frances said, Listen,
Ermintrude, I'll call you back in a
sec-Ive got to hang up now" and
replaced the receiver on its hook
and looked Indignantly at Ann.
Ann, dear" Rosalie began, don't
you think it is just a bit selfish
that because you have no engage
ments for this evening, you should
insist that Mary-Frances make
none?"
NO" Ann said. The hall must
be cleaned and I think Mary Fran
ces should be willing to help. It
takes hours for one person to dust
the grille work on the stairs, and"
Rosalie inserted, But why to-
night? Isn't evening rather a
strange time to begin house clean
1ng?"
ut is the only time I have"
Now, now, Ami" Rosalie shook
a playful finger. Don't you recall
little story or-um-something
about the early bird?"
Arm did not answer that. She
spoke, instead to Mary Frances.
I'm tired tonight, honey, and the
ball must be cleaned. 1t has been
needing it for weeks now, you know.
IF you really don't wish to help
me, you needn't. Only-I sort of
thought you'd rather help me than
to have me do it alone"
Il guess I'd just as Soon," said
Mary Frances. "All right Ann,
angel. I'll tell Ermintrude I can't"
GRAND cleared his throat and
NJ gestured detainingly toward
Mary Frances. "One moment, my
DARING" he said. I fear that l
have fallen far behind in this dis
cussion and have, in consequence,
failed of its conclusion.
Il do not question your motives,
Ann-dear Ann-but 1 do question
your decision. To clean the front
hall at late hour on a spring eve
ming! The front hall Suppose
that guests should arrive in the
midst of this process of cleaning.
Suppose =" He went on and
on; but presently he asked a ques-
ton with Mary Frances name in
it and paused for an answer.
Ann had not been actually lis
tening for some time. She had
formed, forced, perhaps, a habit of
looking attentive and of paying no
more attention to him that she had
paid to other extraneous sounds.

 With wings?"
 You have wings, Juanita. May be not doves or angels, but I know you are plotting right now to use them"
 She shook her head, still in the circle of his arm. She looked down at his hand between both of hers. The rain was coming hard now.
 Juanita's voice was low
 Do you believe-the things they said about that girl?'
 What girl?" he asked.
 The one in Divitt's Parlors."
 Kirk laughed, tightening his arm. Do I believe? What difference does it make?"
 Do you?"
 Why, 1 never thought about it." Then suddenly. Was that what was the matter with you-what they said about the Moon?"
 The men did not deny-that they knew discriminatory"
 That was horrid of them
 She lifted her face not looking at him. You mean that, even though it was true, they should have denied. You believe it was true"
 But if it is, what does one ex- pect of a girl in that placer" Kirk said, not at all desirous of discus sing other women with Juanita.
 She may be there unwillingly,' , Juanita said.
 She may at that" he agreed, but she felt the smile that his words came through.
 You denied" she said hotly And now you are as bad as the rest"
 T denied because she has hardly looked at me, or at her" Kirk, forced into seriousness, replied. You aren't yourself, Juanita. If she lived there with that gang, is

taking Ledbetter to her room any, thing to start war over? Unwil- lingly-maybe-at the start. All o1 them have fantastic tales about how they began. But why should she stay, if she's unwilling? The place has doors. I won't say I have not thought about her"
 You've thought about her?'
 Not as you suppose quickly She has no attraction for me. But I've wondered rather curiously whether it's Divitt's clever adver- Using of her or her own gifts as a seductress that fill Divitt's Par lors."
 And you didn't like her?' Jua- nita's voice was grave.
 Not at all" Now he knew the reason for her questioning. Bless her heart T never liked anything but you. I never loved anyone but you.
 That's it-smile. But it's true"
 You never had a sweetheart?"
 Then you nave been in love-"
 Probably"
 q said had never loved any one but you. It's true"
 I'd rather you were in love with me"
 T am. If you love a girl you're in love with her. But if you're merely in love with her you don't always love her" se
 She was smiling still. Kirk held her close and kissed her until he knew she had forgotten all the jealous doubt.
 At last he said, "Tell me what you had to tell me-in the library"
 She answered in low voice. Not now. I can never tell you, now"
 All right. You don't need to. I know it already"
 What do you know?"
 Everything. The marquesa told Madame Fouche."

WHAT DOES KIRK KNOW?

Juanita's eyes were on the mar quesa and the crowd g at h e r d around her in the gay atmosphere of Steve's place. Moon of Delight Divltt's-she could not put the thoughts aside.
 But someone was breaking into them. It was Emmy Jean, who had come to Adrian's party with young Berry She was leaning toward Jua- nita, her earrings swinging each side of her small, pale face.
 She had light, limpid eyes that shone a clear green like aquama- rines. Juanita found herself won dering what the world must look like through such clear eyes.
 Isn't Phyllis Carver awful" said Emmy Jean, cringling her lashes, bringing up the Moon before Nail da Preston and Dick? Naida is jealous as the devil of the Moon, and Dick Preston is jealous of Eric Ledbetter. Dicks been drinking himself crazy ever since Naida got back He'd already had too much when he came here tonight
 Everybody knows how Eric feels about Naida. And Naida Well, no woman could resist Eric. The way he spends money. you know. And then he's been every where, and speaks all sorts of lan- guages, and had a harem in Fur key, and throws such gay parties.
 You see,' settling down to her job of enlightening Juanita-"You see, Eric left one day and Naida the next. Naida's been in New York, and nobody knows where Eric is. But now that Dick knows Fries away, nothing will convince him they weren't together. I think Eric was with the Moon. You must see her when you go back. It's interesting to see women like that. Phyllis is awful to Naida. Be- cause Dick was engaged to her-to Phyllis-before Naida broke it up. Phyllis would ram that big poker into Naida if she dared I think myself
 Dance with you, Barry? Sure. iScuse me, Juanita."

| nita, Dance once with Adrian so that you can dance with me. I've something to tell you
 She obeyed almost automatically. I'll dance with you now, she said to Adrian on his return.
 Bobby Cranshaw cut in on Ad- rian and Kirk cut in on Bobby. Kirk danced with Juanita to the door, opened it. A voice called, Look out, Lochinvar! You'll both get wet!" It was Dick Preston danc- ing with the marquesa. The mar quesa did not even look at them. Kirk saw her draw from Dicks arm and begin to dance alone. In her vivid orange dress flinging arms above her head, catching at l her skirts, she looked like some brightly painted automaton.
 Kirk guided Juanita to the yer andah rail He drew her against him. Now breathe little" he said. Was the party threatening to get too wild?"
 She did not answer, but her eyes moved to him with half-frig cd half questioning look. You are not used to wild parties, are you, Juanita? I wonder why that makes me want to fight somebody for you. This ones not going to be any, thing. I know what they've got in therein the way of bottles, l mean"
 Let's take a car and ride away somewhere" Juanita begged.

 They took Dick Preston's coupe. Dick won't care" said Kirk. There was riding crop in the car, and a green cape.

You be- lieve in people having dates with folks beside their husband? l. makes me nervous to think about it. You won't treat me that way, will you Juanita?" Huskily mur- mured banter, as they took the road between the angry black woods and the sea. Kirk laid his hand over Juanita's, smiling into her face.
 Will you, Juanita?"
 Big drops suddenly pelted the glass about them. Through the dark they could see the black waves splitting forth. Kirk stopped the car, drew Juanita against his side.
 Quit watching the lightning" he said You ought to be afraid"
 T love storms" she whispered, as the thunder crashed above the boom of the sea. All at once to Kirk she seemed a part of it. He realized that he had indeed a small bit of storm in the car with him, crushed against his side. Or was she-he smiled at the fancy thing bred of the storm, driven by it, sheltered here for moment, presently to fly on?
 'sPaloma," he said softly, La paloma."
 She laid her other hand oyer his. Why do you call me that? Do you know what it means?"
 Do you doubt my Spanish?" he .enquired. "Paloma means dove. For me it means anything beautiful
