WHY RAY TURNS YELLOW

La Jolla Bay, near San Diego,
Calf, had this summer a visitation
of "yellow water" unique in that re
gion both because of the prominence
of yellow and the extremely small size
of the causative organism, says the

tories. No satisfactory Identification
of this organism has been obtained
individuals had a length of only
about six-thousandths of MILNE

the wings Of a butterfly as they
brushed the back Of Vernon's
hand.
She blinked. trying to pull her
self together. Terry's divine kisses
like molten fire-and then this
anticlimax!
How do you do? This is Mr..
Shannon-Mrs. de Bray" she
found herself saying mechanically.
Mrs. de Bray gave Terry a swift
upward glance. Vernon saw some
thing spring into her eyes. Like
cat after a luscious canary" she
thought afterwards, trying TO ana
lyze that predatory expression.

Of this dance?" asked the Prince,

She was flustered. What TO say?

She didn't see the fleeting,
crooked little quirk to Mrs. de
Bray's beautifully rouged lips at
that moment. She took the

down the staircase with him.

but he did dance beautifully.
He moved with q SinuouS grace,
with a sort Of fluid motion. A
personable-looking man, with an
artistocratic profile. More guests
had arrived in the interim of
the upstairs session-and lots of
people were watching them.
There's Prince Karinoff, men,
ber Of one Of the oldest families Of
Russia. Who's the glittering
girl with hin?" she heard some
one inquire.
Haven't the foggiest notion!"
Vernon's heart rose. Terry
Shannon loved her. She was
dancing with a real prince. Peo-
pie were talking about her. This
was life indeed! Wasn't New
York wonderful?
At the end of the dance, the
prince took her to a corner table
in the bar and brought cham
payne to her. He had quiet
manners, but he conveyed his ad-
miration in a dozen subtle ways
seeming to hang on everything
she said-charmingly deferential.
The prince had a flattering
way of leaning toward her as
they talked. He was immacu-
lately groomed. He looked as
though he had been poured into
his evening clothes, they fitted
so perfectly. She could see him
in the mirror when she turned
her head. That elegant dip at
the waistline-awfully foreign
and fascinating - his square

they were padded) the sleek,

"You made a long stay in New

eagerly. His voice was low and
throaty. 1t caresSed her. There
was a curious vibrance in it.

Then wouldn't it be rather
clever to flaunt Terry Shannon
before their naughty, critical
eyes? But before she started any
thing in that quarter, she'd in
vestigate Terry's financial status,
for her kisses in the future
must be paid for.

She thrilled to the warm
pressure of his hand as he
helped her out of the car. but

hadn't a chance to say much.

But"
Nonsense! I'll rig you out

Nan went away. Vernon went
up to the tower suite in the
elevator. Everything was quiet.
Her parents were asleep. She was
glad of that. There was much
to think over.

During Sunday morning service

She laughed. Her laugh was

Prince Karinoff bent his head

Why do you ask me that,

She thought happily: That's
true! And his name Is Terry

She rose, Better check the
Prince before he went too far
with his predictions. Where was
Terry? Was Mrs. de Bray flat
tering him similarly?
All! there they were, entering
the bar. How handsome Terry
looked! He would come right
over and claim her now?
But Nan Washington inter

my dear? Is that SOP" Mrs. de
Bray arranged her chic black
gown with its turquoiSe-blue
godets and tiny puff sleeves, so
that it fell around her in graceful
folds as she leaned back in her
chair. She smiled on Vernon in
friendly fashion.
Il think so. hope so. The

that we hardly know anybody in
this town yet. OF course Nan has
shoals of friends and acquaint-
ances. Yeti might look funny
as If we were running after people
Il mean, 1t would really be Mans

But I do assure you it would
be perfectly in order to give a

you heaps and heaps of invita-

You think SOP"

in Mrs. de Bray'S near,Set eyes.
I'D love to help you. You must

"Oh, can arrange that for you.

Vernon said uneaSily. She didn't
quite like that crafty look in Mrs.
de Bray's eyes.
Nonsense! At your age! With
your looks" here Mrs. de Bray
repeated the Princes words
you'd be q sensation, Miss
Tyson!"
II think I'd rather get to know
