of course, I saw the necessity for
the thing. 1t is very difficult some
times to adjust myself"
Il know. I find it difficult my
self sometimes. I mean to remem-
Der what people are talking about
from their own perfectly under
standable point of view. Heaven
knows what they'll say when it's

They'll probably say your fam

Mary bluntly.
Kit smiled and folded his long
length up in flreside chair
There's the good old sense of hu-

Mary smiled back. Kit had some
rare quality of spontaneous friend

instantly at ease. Il certainly need

That's it. She was advising me
how to deal with your family. She
wants me to win them over. She
likes me"
Kits Hands Tied.
Mary was laughing now, but Kit
did not laugh. Good old Virginia.
What did she tell you to do?"
She said it would ease the sit
uation considerably If you've left
your home"
Kit took a tobacco pouch from
his pocket and began to pack his
pipe slowly. When he had got the
pipe going he said somberly, Shes
right at that. 1t would be pleas
anter for you If I took you right
away from here"
1T would. of course" said Mary
frankly, "but that's no reason why
you should do it."
It's a very good reason. But the
truth is, my hands are tied"
oh"
Il intended to do 1t in the first
place, Mary. I never meant to
bring you here. had almost leased
an apartment on the East River,
but Ruby didn't wish it. I
don't know what she had in her
mind, but it upset her so much it
didn't seem worth arguing about. I
was talking to her about it again
this afternoon, telling her how diff
ficult it was for you, but she was
more set against the idea than
ever
Il see. Well, after all, why worry
about it? l didn't expect the situa-
ton to be bed of roses for me.

moment debating whether to go in
or not. Kit had strange moods in
which his spirit seemed to move in
some disturbing world Of its own.
Kit, however, rose from the piano,
came out and saw her standing
there
For an instant she saw torment
In his face and the effort he made

coat. Come along in and tell me

Mary's maid appeared silently

the wood fire in the music room.

Mary, y was worried about it. but.

ly, he was very emphatic about
those"
Mary looked at the list in Kits
vigorous handwriting. "One mink
for days, something light and young
for evening, silver foxes-or red
if they don't kill the color of her
hair"
Mary began to say she didn't
think the fox was necessary. but
she remembered that after all the
things would only be loaned She
said, Il think the silver" Miss
Paul rose and she rose with her
After all, we can tell best when
we see them on you in the shop"
Mary insisted on trying on the
coats herself. They bought two
tailless ermine as soft and pliable
as ivory velvet and a supple mink
with rich dark lights in it. The
silver fox proved more becoming
than the red They chose a scarf of
two magnificent skins.
Miss Paul said to her as another
taxi sped them to Hattie Carnegies: &:
Il heard your father was dead
Has he been dead very long
time?"
Since was 13," said Mary. add
ing frankly, He was very lovable
but impractical person. A uni

ventor of thousand things that

going through college and learn

Learns of Mary's Family.
Miss Paul was intensely curious
about Mary's family. There must
be some reason why Mrs. Kit
should look as much Bardsley as
the Bardsleys. I've often won
dered why girls choose that par
tlcular kind of work. What made
you do it?"
In my case it came naturally. I
wanted to be an artist-a dress de-
signer. I'm clever with my hands
and love beauty. My grandfather
was Bernard Tree, the sculptor.
Perhaps you've heard of him?"
Bernard Tree! Of course I have.
I've seen his bronzes in the Met
ropolitan Museum"
They forgot about Bernard Tree
as they looked at the chic and orig
lnal Carnegie gowns. They chose II
models, each more dashing and
glamorous than the last one. .
Mary knew Kit was in as she
stood in the paneled hall putting
her latch key in the door. She Slip
ped in and shut the door quietly and
stood inside, making no sound. Kit
was improvising on the piano some
thing melancholy that tore at the
heart. AS she listened his hands

CHAPTER w.

Mary woke early in the morning
hearing Kit getting up. Her break
fast was brought in to her with the
morning papers. She ate it in bed
slowly. glancing from the glow of
the electric heater to the windows
streaming with cold February rain.
A luxurious sensation.
Miss Paul came in later in the
morning. Virginia Paul was Mrs
Bardsley's secretary, an overworked,
but astringently practical and
cheerful middle-aged woman. She
said, Good morning, Mrs. Kit. Mrs.
Bardsley's out of town for day or
two, so I've got time to 60 ahead
with your shopping"
My shopping?"
why, don't you know? Your
husband asked me to help you to
order raft of new clothes"
Mary said proudly without think
Ing, But I don't want any new
clothes. I got plenty in Florida"
Miss Paul's eloquent eyebrows
lifted slightly. Il know how you
feel about the way the family
treated you, but you certainly will
need some Even in the present
state of affairs your position will
make certain social demands on
you"
Yes, of course. Yes, need some
evening things. But I can shop for
those myself. There isn't any rea-
son why should waste your time"
Miss Paul smiled, and her rather
austere face looked warm and
agreeable. I'm a friend, not a foe,
Mrs. Kit. In my private opinion
the hope of the Bardsleys has done
very we'll for himself.
Thank you, Miss Paul, that's
very nice of you"
Virginia Paul lit a cigarette. I
think you would conquer the family
quicker if you wouldn't mind TAX
Ing my advice. Mrs Kit"
What then would you advice me
to do?"
Miss PauFs Advice.
In the first place, I'd move out
OF the house here into an apartment
as FAR away as possible. Miss Bards-
ley Will come round in time and
give a wonderful reception to pre-
sent you to her friends and then
you'll be launched into society. I
know her. But the time is not vet,
She has taken the secrecy of your
marriage as a personal grievance
and she'll get over it very slowly.
In the meantime" Miss Paul
hesitated. DO you mind if I'm
quite frank with you?"
No. l appreciate it."
We'll, It's clear to all concerned
that you have plenty of spirit, but
you mustn't be independent with
Mrs. Bardsley. If you are she will
take one of her implacable dislikes
to you and make it her life work to
get you separated after the moneys
paid over. But Kits been my idol,
too, for a good many years-Ive
been with the BardsleyS since he
was a schoolboy-and that's why I
want him to be happy and you to
stay with him"
Mary had been keeping tight her
hold OF her control, but now she
turned and tried to hide her tears.
Miss Paul put her arm round her
shoulders. Poor kid, it's been kill
Ing you, hasn't it?"
Mary nodded.
We'll, run away and get ready.
Well have lunch at Pierre's before
we start work. You've no idea how
I'm going to enjoy wasting my
time"
At Pierre's Mary had little taste
OF one Of the lesser assets of being

or from news pictures at least a

dozen persons recognized her. Whis-
pers ran about like bush fire, heads
were surreptitiously turned in her

calm and splendid Virginia Paul,

She produced Kits list while

You don't seem very thrilled
with his devotion"
Mary shrugged her shoulders. "A
girl who can be trusted gets very
tired Of being nagged at"
Kit nodded in sympathetic agree

Mary?"
For some things-yes. For others
Il don't know. In a way it's a
great experience-an insight into
another world"
Kit said impulsively, as If he had
