been laughing that way all evening.
He didn't laugh that way the other
time. It's being with Andrea that
makes him feel gay" She wished
desperately that she could make
him feel that way. And, wishing
that, her thoughts went off on an
other tack and hewed to 1t all the
time that the Gypsy Chorus was
doing its turn.
The trend Of her thoughts was
such that she couldn't label II her
self. She only knew that she was
suffering a let-down feeling. She
wouldn't call II jealousy. Some of
pleasure, albeit a limited pleas
ure, was being denied her. She
didn't want Dennis for a beau, for
she was not likely to forget that
he was as much married as he had
been when she had admonished
Andrea back in the Pennington
days, but she had hoped there
might be an occasional evening like
the first one. Just one night once
in while to make her forget that
she was a beauless girl, dull girl,
dull company. Now she wouldn't
have those evenings to look for-
ward to. Andrea had taken Dennis
over again.
There was letter In Beths
purse from Vernon, and she tried
to think about that, about him. She
did miss him, but II was with no
sense OF personal loss. Thinking
about Vernon didn't help, so she
thought about Andrea and Jim.
And had TO admit that Andreas
fun was harmless. II wasn't that
because she was with Dennis that
she was very different girl from
the one who had crept, weeping,
into her bed. II was just that she
was young and full Of spirit, and
she was having fun. Andrea loved
the lights, the music, the good food.
Beth did, too, but she hardly
touched the supper Dennis offered
and when he was solicitous and
would have ordered something else.
Beth felt that she was selfishly
monopolizing their attention and
begged them not to bother about
her.
She insisted that Dennis dance
with Andrea rather than with her,
and had q lovely time watching
them and feeling like a maiden
aunt.
Andrea came back from the
dance floor. holding Dennis hand,
crying joyfully, Hes going to be
here lots. Beth. He's just told me.
Isn't that wonderful ?"
Dennis was looking at Beth. She
said. II hope you'll like 1t, Mr..
Archer"
1T was Dennis last time, Mis-,
Kinnan."
"Ot course he's Dennis and
we're going to see lots OF him.
Dennis, you'll have to get another
man for Beth. Wen have four
somes. This is the way I always
wanted it to be in Pennington An
drea said.

CHAPTER TNENTY.NTNE

ANDREA AND Dennis were
looking at the marionettes In the
little theater at the end OF the
room. but Beth was looking at An
drea and Dennis, and her thoughts
we're not the stuff Of which the per-
Torrance at the Balakaika was
made.
In the mirror back OF her, she
could see herself in her smart black
dress, her impudent hat. but she
saw nothing there that made her
feel elated, proud as she had been
that other night when. Dennis was
alone with her. Now she felt herself
a pale shadow beside the radiant
Andrea. For radiant was the only
word she could think OF. II wasn't
the scarlet dress or the sequin-
sparkling pill-boX that Andrea
wore far back on her cloudy dark
hair that made her glow; IL was
some inner front on which she
drew TO give herself the glow that
showed in her dancing eyes, in the
warm color that ebbed and flowed
under her olive skin There was a
vitality about her that Was mag
netic. A vitality that drained
Beth OF all she had.
She might, she thought, have
just as we'll stayed home, for she
felt she added nothing to the little
threesome that had been so COM
pletely Andrea's since she came
trailing down the stairs a moment
after Beth had greeted Dennis in
the hall at the rooming house.
Dennis, my old dear" Andrea
had put just the right blend Of
pleasure, affection, reproach and
delight into her voice. Andrea had
lifted her cheek for Dennis to kiss
(Which he did, with a look at Beth
which she failed to see), had given
both her hands to him and said,
"Beth's told you I'm practically a
widow? Jim has gone of and left
me, and I simply couldn't resist
seeing you, so when Beth suggest
ed that ! surprise you, well. here I
am. Are you glad?"
Delighted" Dennis had said,
and Beth wondered now, as she
watched the antics Of the marion
cites out Ct one eye, II she had ina
gined he wasn't as delighted as he
might have been.
Beth did insist, you know" An
drea had gone on. IL just sit around
here night after night doing abso-
lutely nothing. but tonight we're
all going to have fun. Will you take
me to that wonderful restaurant
Beth said you took her to-"
So they'd gone to the Sale du
Bots, but II wasn't the same to-
might. That other time, Beth had
felt gay and happy and rarely in
teresting. Tonight she was just the
third person.
The capers on the stage were
amusing, and Dennis laughed spon-
t7neously, crinkling up the corners
of his eyes. Beth thought. Hes

Andrea called after her.
They always met at 1 o'clock on
Saturday, but Beth said, IT don't

She was sorry as soon a. she'd
closed the door. There was no rea-
son to take her irritation and dis
appointment out on Andrea.
But she was not sorry when she
came out OF her Office building on
Saturday at three minutes past one
and found Dennis sitting at the
wheel Of a roadster, waiting for
her.
