Jean was trapped. She had no al

she did have, subsequently, was a dis
agreeable lecture from Rupert on the
evils of gambling.
Ironical that games of chance had
never appealed! Also, innately hon

this cooked-up story of having lost

last night. What right had you to
countermand my order? What right
had you to go up to the drawing

The big black eyes widened, dis

in Gaby's voice as she replied: "But

there because I feel lonely-sad-
and I wish to practise my singing

But no one heard her, for Gaby

thought: Simple, my foot!
"And that dress she's wearing"
Walter proceeded unsuspectingly. It's

"Whoever, indeed" 1t was on the

He didn't fall for it. He said:

She has a beautiful complexion"
Jean strove for a mask of gayety.
But it hurt to see his newborn adj

Later, when the coast was clear of

from the clerk as to where the money
had been sent. But all she got for
her sleuthing was a shocked snub!
The day of the party that was to
introduce Gaby to society" arrived.
Gaby wore dream of black taffeta
gown that flattered each luscious

for that one!" She laughed shakily.
ooh, you have your nice points,
youngster. You'll come down to
earth one of these days!" he grimm
ed.
Thanks, Grampa."
"And she can teach you things,
fancy. You must like her a lot or
you wouldn't have asked her to come
across an ocean to visit you. 1t was
mighty plucky of her to take chance
on the submarines"
Her heart twisted at this entirely
unmerited praise. Gaby hadn't come
from France in time of war. Her
trip from Martinique on an American
cargo boat had been pretty darn safe!
The journey on the de luxe liner
across the dangerous Atlantic had
been Gaby's own invention, and it
was now, ironically, adding to her
prestige.
Next morning, while Jean was
breakfasting in bed. Gaby came to
her room. She wore red robe of
transparent velvet. Bought, effec-
lively, at one of the cheaper stores
out of money given by her halfsis-
ter.
"Cherie, you do not mind if come
in your bed? We have nice talk,
like good sisters?"
Gaby said, "It was so generous
that you include poor me in the leetle
dinner with the so nice Meester NAL
lory last night"
Now Jean could only stand so much
of this finesse! She'd played the
game last night-hadn't let Gaby
down. But she wasn't to be bluffed
in private. Gaby mustn't be allowed
to think she'd really got agay with
anything. Or she'd become insuffer-
able.
So, she said firmly, but not I'M
kindly, now: Don't thank me, for
you manoeuvred it yourself, Gaby.
