 BeWildered, Mrs. Cameron heard Dana's voice . moment later, T want you to come, Ronnie. Let's go pIaccg and do things. I want to be amused"
 FAtc summer driftcd into early fall. Leaves turned from green to gold, and brisk wind, rustling tall branches, tossed coi0rful little patches at Dana's feet,
 She was walking swiftly, a 1aunty little hat tipped slightly at tho side of her head. The hat was brown, like her dress. Strands of chestnut hair were whipped loose and blew against her cheek.
 Sine heard stelps behind her and q deep masculine voice called, Are you practicing for sprinting n,ara- thOn?"

 There was something significant 1n his voice. Something significant, too, in the way he was looking nt her, smiling.
 She said quickly. "urace and Bill are having party out at their lodge on the lake. She heard you were coming today--I don't know fsOw-and asked me if I could in- yeigle you to come along"
 I'm inyeilged." ROnnic smiled. ssT'hat is, if you're going. I suppose Grace heard from Paula that I was back. Paula was on the same steam sE, and we came from New York on the same train"
 "pauialv Dana's face whitened. She walked on, saying nothing.
 "Yee. It wouldn't surprise me if Paula and that Britisher who's been trailing after her wouldn't be at the party. You remember how thick Paula and Grace were before she went away?"
 "Yes," Dana said.
 "ff you'd rather not go" Ron nie began.
 Dana shook her head. "N0, we'll ao, How could it matter To me now7" She turned and looked at nonnie with . queer, detached ex- UfessioF.
