ly and obediently by Miss Kitty Nor
rell. In the door Of her own rooms
the princess paused and put her arm
the girl.
I'm perfectly serious when I tell you
Jacks a terror, my dear" she said.
Hes forty-five II he's a day, but you'd
be astonished to know the number of
young things who lose their heads over
him. I'd like you to realize that he's
an old friend and doesn't really mean
anything he says. You're $3.50 mex
perienced, and so pretty, and so-for-
give me for saying it, but it's true-so
damned rich. Although the n thing
I can say for Jack, after all, is that he's
never been mercenary."
II reckon I can take care of myself,
all right, princess" Kitty said. But
what puzzles me is why the major Is
Ia terror. What's so awful about him?"
She had a soft and very southern
voice, in which major became majah
and terror terrah.
"Just that he'll marry you If you're
not careful" said the princess, slipping
Into her dress. He's done it to others.
marrying Jack Titherton would not in
itself be such a calamity-he's an
agreeable idiot, but the trouble is that
it doesn't last. The truth is, my dear,
that the man was genuinely in love
with his first wife and since that broke
up he's simply %galloping around max
ing love to everything in sight. Half
of the insane things he does are due to
the fact that he's recovered from
Mary Titherton."
Kitty stood by the square window of
the princess stateroom, looking on a
tiny balcony over the Adriatic.
"what became of the first Mrs. Tith-
ton?" she asked without turning
round.
"She couldn't stand being married tc
a mailman, I suppose" said the prin-
cess, pulling on her stockings. ANY
way, she divorced Jack and refused tc
take any money to speak of. They say
she opened a small school on the Isle
of Wight, OF somewhere. Nobody's seer
or heard of her for ten years. She
was really very pretty-it's a shame
The Isle of Wight! But English peopi,
are very odd, anyway. If you dom
pick yourself out a really nice Italian
or Frenchman with a good name ant
mo money and you'll be all right. Blu
, not an Englishman. They're all mad
that is, the nice ones are, n Tn
others are crashing bores."
But I don't aim to marry anybod.
