which he doesn't exactly discour- age"
 Forests hair dressing schedule has been irregular because the Duke and Duchess have had moving wor- ries, not to mention affairs of state.
 Later on we will work out a daily routine. Why, any woman of real elegance must, of necessity, have changes of coiffure to suit all occas- ions and all clothes. It is unthink- able that she should wear the same coiffure to tea that she wears at lunch"
 Forrest also plans to introduce to the Duchess the new deep-toned red lip rouge and nail polish which his employer, Antoine, has created for her.
 The nail polish is unlikely to be used by the Duchess for ordinary occasions,
 "For a long time," Forrest said, "she has been using only colorless nail polish in the daytime, or none at all"
 Grows Rhapsodic
 Forrest grew rhapsodic when asked what he thought of the Windsors. He ran his fingers nerv- ously through his own gleaming, dark wavy hair.
 T really, I mean really, think she is beautiful. ..... q think she has such tremendous individuality, and the construction and formation of her face is ex- ouisite - but exquisite. Instead of minimizing its squareness, it should be emphasized for its distinction. And her skin - 1t is translucent, with undertones of coloring that blend in harmony"
 He paused, then with graceful gesture of his right hand. contin- ued:
 "You might add that whatever I do with the Duchess's hair, she won't have a pompadour. Antoine and I loathe ponpadours."

"When a woman has such lovely hairline as the Duchess has, 1t is a shame to cut it in half, don't you know" Forrest said, with a slicing gesture of his long, well-kept hands.

 He heSitated, his brow wrinklng. "Yes, in front I think perhaps an upswept effect from the temples in graceful indefiniteness. Dark hair shouldn't be too precise, you know, and I'll call the new coiffure the Roven's Wing. Sleek, smooth, chic like the Duchess herself"

"Why do you doubt it?"
"Oh, I've been SO worried-so un-

don't you see? II she came between

You promise Kit, you promise?"

her rising voice. Il promise, Ruby.

comes out and finds you here. Where
did you leave the carr"
Their footsteps went softly down
the stairs and soon after Mary heard
the car start up and drive away.
She sat up shivering with the warm
air flowing over her, and looked out
into the milky, star strung darkness.
80 that's that" she thought miser-
ably, although she had always known
it would be. Sentence of death
without hope Of reprieve. Kit was
man who thought before he made
a promise, for he never broke his
word. Probably he would never
speak of his love for her--Mary-
again.

promise isn't worth the breath you
used for it. You're playing your
own deep game. I haven't seen Kit
for four days."
Charles bent over them and put
the tray with glasses carefully in
the sand. Mary slipped a little and
put hers down. Mrs. Neville drank
hers as if she were intolerably
thirsty. After Charles had gone
again Mrs. Neville returned to the
attack. Kit has changed abso-

furiously. How dare you say such
things?" She started to get up.

I warn you if you don't keep your
hands off Kit you'll be sorry"
Mary glared back into the
smoldering black eyes on level
with her own. I'm not afraid OF

Mrs. Neville shrugged her slim
brown shoulders. "No? But per-

The woman's savage anger had
given way to dreary hopelessness.
Mary got up and walked slowly
and thoughtfully away from her.
At 8 o'clock Mary had dinner
alone, then went into the lofty green
and white drawing room and turned
on the radio. She did not think of
the night clubs, the bathrooms and
casinos strung like a necklace Of

making its elegance and luxury a
mockery, making the whole beau
tiful world, in fact, unbearably
lonely. She went up to bed early,
hoping to find ease for her aching
heart in sleep.
Kit Out Late.
Kit came in at midnight. Still
awake, Mary heard him in his room,
deliberately moving softly so as not
to disturb her. She lay listening,
feeling utterly different because he
was near her, feeling warm again
and drawn back from some outer
darkness.
Presently the cautious stirring in
the next room ceased and gave way
to the dreaming silence Tapped by
the murmuring water at the rocks.
1t must have been an hour after
ward that Mary heard the incom-
ing car. Many cars went by, but
this one seemed to turn in under the
pines and stop. She lay listening,
unable to sleep. and only vaguely
interested.
Then she heard voices in the next
room. Ruby Neville had discovered
the stairs leading up to the second
floor rooms from the beach, and

how easy it was to visit Kit in
secret in the night.
Mary drew the fragrant sheet over
her head and buried one ear in the
pillow to shut out the faint sounds,
but the heat conquered her. It was
breathlessly still, so still that every
sound was exaggerated tenfold, SO
warm that one gasped for air. Mary
threw the sheet off again and pushed
a book from her bedside table to the
floor to let them know she was
awake and could hear them talking.
It had no effect. Mrs. Neville was
speaking now, her husky voice rising
as it always did when she was angry
or excited.
II can't understand you, Kit. It's
unbelievable-"
But Ruby"
II know! I know! Don't tell me
again. I'm not deceived. You've
fallen for this common girl We
picked up from nowhere"
Kits voice was savagely angry.
Leave her out of it, Ruby. She's
the gamest girl ever knew-and
she Is not common"
There! I knew it. You love
her." Mrs. Neville's voice broke on

eyes. "Then what did it mean
just now?"
Mary averted her eyes. "Just
that I'm human I suppose-and
you're very attractive. But it isn't
love. Love is thing OF the soul
infinite and deep"
Il see. And you couldn't feel
that way about me?"
Mary felt the fight going out of
her. In minute she would throw
herself in his arms and weep out
her long sufferings on his breast.
She said, I'm sorry Kit, but I'm
terribly tired and nervous. I want
to rest. Won't you please leave
me?"
Kit Leaves Mary.
He went without another word
through the communicating door
into his own room. Mary rang her
bell and told Elsie that she was
going to bed early and would have
her dinner sent up. She remained
alon all evening with her new bit
ter-sweet happiness.
Kit did not refer again to the
episode in Mary's room. Nor
did he show any signs that he was
consumed with love for her. He
was morose and distant, formal in
his conversation with her and me-
ticulouSly polite. Every morning he
drove off after early breakfast with
the roadster laden with golf clubs.
He said to Mary, ''I can't stand
those chattering people down on the
beach all day. There isn't a place
where a man can call his soul his
own"
He returned from his expeditions
moody and silent, but no longer ir-
ritable. Mary surmised that he
spent his days in remote places off
the beaten track with Ruby. Charles
came to the same conclusion. He
came down, and finding Mary SUM-
bathing on the sand. sat down be-
side her. He said, you look very
beautiful lady of my heart, but by
no means happy
I'm perfectly happy. Dent be
silly Charles"
You're not hiding the truth from
me. Mary. Your marriage to Kit is
failure. Let me make it up to

"Once and for all Charles, I tell
you it isn't"
But it is. Here you are strand
ed with all these hangers-on, and
where's Kit? Hidden in some for

lief, Look for yourself then

Neville was at that moment de-
scending the steps in the rock, a
gorgeously colorful figure in huge
green hat and f1owered Tahitian

Mrs. Neville stood moment
looking around, then saw Charles
and Mary and walked purposefully
to them across the sand. She sat
down and began to talk to them
inconsequentially, her dark eyes in
tent on the swimmers coming out

CHAPTER x.
Kit seized Mary by the wrists and
forced her to meet the inquisition
of his eyes. "Why did Charles
think he could make love to you?
You didn't tell him anything?"
"Of course not. 1t was the silliest
summer day Irritation that might
happen to any one. Don't you know
you can trust me?"
He looked deep in her steady
eyes, let 60 of her wrists as If he
tossed them away. "Yes-I know.
I'm sorry Mary. You're quite right.
I did spend the day with Ruby,
and it did make me irritable and
uncouth. Forgive me for being so
unfair"
He threw himself down on Mary's
chaise Tongue and ran his fingers
through his hair. She stood looking
at him racked with her longing to
comfort him. "Why does she make
you so irritable Kit? Is she still
worried about me? What does she
say to you?"
He looked at her then with his
eyes full Of light and Mary knew
what he was going to say before
he said it. Her rapidly pounding
heart seemed to shake her body and
her knees felt as If they would
give way under her. Don't you
know why she makes me so irrita-
ble?" he said angrily. Cant you
guess?"
Mary shook her head. He got
up and caught her by the shoul-
ders. Because I'm in love with you
Mary"
"Oh Kit" she gasped.
"Yes, darling, like one possessed.
I see it all now. The other was
nothing but an insane infatua-
ton"
"Oh dear-but you can't leave her
now"

Besides what?"
IT didn't say I was In love with

He laughed at that, and at once
his arms were round her and his
mouth pressing down on her lips
Mary felt every ounce of resistance
60 out of her body. Her arms went
up round Kits neck and for a long
minute. they clung together in mu-
tual ecstasy. You see," said Kit
breathlessly. But Mary had re-
membered Ruby Neville's hoarse
voice whispering frantically across

But I don't love you Kit" she
said equally breathlessly. IT don't

Ruby dear-please-"
"You do love me Kit? You do

"Of course. Don't you believe in
me any more?"
Mrs. Neville laughed 50 loud ahd
Historically that Mary was afraid
the whole house would hear her.
Evidently Kit thought so, too, for
he said, Hush, dear, hush. Every
thing Is all right. Please believe
me"
She stopped laughing. "Is that
