 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER VIII
 ssWhy, it's Lottie" Steve exclaifn. ed, directing Mona's sase across the room.
 1t was indeed Lottie. She had not seen her friends, apparently, for she was not looking at them. LOttie sat at Q wall table on q plat form slightly raised above the rest of the fioor 50 that she could watch the fioor show (when 1t be9an) over the heads of the other diners. Just now she was eating busily and neEiecting her companion quite slferciiessIy.
 Her escort was a bored looking youth with sandy hair, dinnef.coat- ed, morose and rather distinguish ed. The evening was not pleasing him. But, looking him over. Mona observed that this young man be- lcnged to that group of society that never is-by tradition and percept
 -pleased. He lived to be bored and Lottie would serve for company as well as anyone else.
 "0reat Havens, the girl Is hav- ing breakfast!" Mona added, amused. But Mona was not really amused at finding Lottie here. ready at any moment to join them. Steve's interest in Lottie rather irritated Mona. Half an hour be- fore he had been making love to herl
 "Breakfast?" repeated Steve. his eyes on Lottie and humor reflected in his tone.
 Lottie had just finished a huge half grapefruit sunk in silver basin of ice and was about to at. tack an tmelet when she spied Mona and Steve.
 x She waved a fork gaily at their table and called--much to the cha grin of her escort--"Hello, Mona. darling. And Steve! Why, where --when in the world did you get in or oat?'
 Mena stiffened. her face flushing. How could Lottie behave so! The innuendo in the other girls voice meant that Lottie believed, or pre- tended to believe. that old story that Steve had been in prison. It way gossip that had died away three years ago. Perhaps Lottie thought it rather cute to pretend that she believed 1t. Privately Mona knew Lottie was as convinced as Mona herself that the gossip was not true.
 The evening, begun so pleasantly, Eas ruined. How could Lottie say such a thing? She was rarely thoughtless and never malicious! Why was she here at all. with so many other places in New York to 90?
 "Oh, I've been around for a week or O." Steve was replying cheer. fully, unperturbed by the implica- ton in Lottie,s greeting.
 ! "Yes? Mona didn't tell me-" ! Mona didn't know. I couldn't rnanase to get in touch with her until today"
 ,Lottie raised her coffee cup to Fer lips smiling. "Then that's all light" she remarked. Just so lbnS as she hasn't been holding out 6n me. Meet the boy friend" With q wave of her hand she indicated the young man opposite. Perhaps you can help cheer him. I'm mak- ing no headway at all and I'm keep fhg the bill very low"
 z Flushing, the young man rose sfiffly.
