He mispronounced "frustra-

adorable to her.
Everything will come out all
right, Ramon"
How can everything come
out all right, when I am not
even to be with you tonight,
but must sit with that tiresome
little Clabby person at a table
that is far from yours?"
"You are going to drive home
with me afterward. Around the
park three times"
"Darling-how"
Never mind how. There is an
other new chauffeur. I could
not bear to live through the
day, dear, if it didn't mean that
much time alone with you"
'I am looking at you, Jenni-
fer's Jenny, across this ugly
tabletop, but in reality I am
kissing you one thousand
times"
"And me you, Ramon" Across
the table their glances poured.

Damn four!"

In the Show Room
At 4 o'clock the unmounted
body of a specially designed
French car was submitted to
Jenny in the Fifty-seventh
Street showrooms Of a firm Of
automobile importers.
At 5 o'clock Jenny picked up
Madame Tarafa at her apart
ment-hotel and took her to Per-
roquet's for tea, where Ramon
danced. He did not come over;
but again, from across the room,
their glances poured.
At 6 o'clock, by appointment.
a chinchilla coat, which had
arrived by way of Moscow, was
delivered to Jenny. In the
beauty of twilit snow, it hung
from her narrow shoulders as
she stood before triple mirrors
in her boudoir. She proposed
tn wear it that night. Ramon
had admired one worn by Mrs.
Stanley Grimes.
Jenny happened to know that
the Grimes garment had cost
forty-five thousand dollars in
Paris, plus so per cent duty.
Her own, with the duty, came
to $4,000. Rarick. who was
completely easy-going about her
expenditures for finery, paid
such bills as these with puzzle

Thoughts came jamming to the
fore of his mind. but he choked
them back. Well-those were
the qualifications for which men
beat out their lives in the
market-placeS.
At 7 o'clock the maid in the
Breton cap helped Jenny into
a black-satin gown that rose to
a. high neck in front and to a
bare and daring v at the back.
AS she was looping herself in
graduated ropes of graduated
pearls the door of her dressing
room burst open without the
