before she had been picture of bri-

had thought, that she had ever seen.
Now Harriet's face was drenched
Of color-whiter than the gown she
wore or the filmy veil about her
shoulders. Her eyes, bleakly be-
wildered, stared at Toby's.
What is it?" Toby demanded
again. Harriet, what's happened?"
Instead of answering, Harriet
looked at the letter she still was
clutching in her hand. Read it,
she said, holding it out to Toby.
1t was the letter Clyde Sabin
had written. Toby took it, hastily
read the brief paragraphs.
Dear Harriet: When you get
this L will be on my way to Cali
fornia. This morning I was mar
ried to Mrs. Lynchfield. You prob
ably remember that her husband
who died last winter, was an officer
of the company.
Il hope you will not take this too
hard, Harriet. My only excuse for
not telling you sooner is that ]
couldn't bear to hurt you. But I
am sure it is really for the best: I
will always think of you as one of
the sweetest girls have ever known
and some day I know you will meet
some one who will make you as
happy as you deserve to be.-Clyde. "
TOBY said, ooh, darling, I'm SO

There was no sign of tears in her
eyes, no sign of emotion at all in
her face except that she pressed
her lips together, trying to steady
them.
"You ought to sit down." Toby
said, putting an arm around her.
"Here-I'll send the maid to get
something for you"
But there was no time. Miss
Wylie, the director of the style show,
appeared and said crisply, ''Is every

they had gained ground by bringing
