years. but once the patriotic onus was lifted,
she'd plunged. She was just shade uneasy
about this plungng In the old days she d
patronized the big houses in Paris when in
funds - that clever little dressmaker around
the corner when not. Her taste had been con-
sentative, and she'd always been able to get
exactly what she wanted. But now. times and
modes had changed. Her favorite shops all
seemed to be bent upon the glorifcation of
rather metallic looking creature whom they
hailed, one and all, as the New Woman.
Lily sighed family and looked again at the
hat. 1t had been designed to 60 with the new
couture, and certainly had chic, but -.
Of course it had not been conceived to top
the negligee she was wearing. She snatched
it off just as Jason tapped at the door,
Jason's face bore the unhappy expression
of one who approaches his beloved with dis
appointment heavy in his hands. Look, Lily,
would you mind frightfully if we postponed
our little dinner together? After all, - he FUN
bled, every day is an anniversary to me-
LILY let that one go by. The darndest
thing has happened" Jason went on. When
was kid, Grandfather Thorndyke used to
send me out West to a ranch for a month
every summer. This chap who owned it -
George Custer - was swell to me. was
always after him to come East and visit US.
And now after all these years, he s turned up.
He's on some awful thing he calls a Circle
Tour, and has only this one evening in New
York 1t just didn't occur to him that he
might not be welcome if he dropped in west
ern style"
Lily swallowed But of course he's well
come" she said heartily.
Jason relaxed I'm terribly sorry about it.
But we'll celebrate tomorrow night"
Magnanimously, Lily RETAINED from re-
minding him that he was leaving tomorrow
for publishers convention in Chicago,
Il gave Rosa the evening off," she said
but perhaps he'd enjoy meal in New
York restaurant just as much
We'll, you see - that is - we'll, the fact is
the poor old boy wants US to take him to
Coney Island"
Lily started bench and retrieved it -
neatest trick of the week. GO and give him a
drink; III dress for the fray" she said.
Gold mutton is sizzling dainty compared
to friendship that has received no warming
nourishment for thirty years. Jason struggled
manfully, but the old ties refused to knit. BY
the time they were seated in noisy restau-
rant, constraint fell heavily on them.
Lily noted increduously that it was only
nine O'Clock 1t seemed to her that she had
spent several aons trudging about in the dust
and glare, getting on and off fendish contrap-
tons that shot her into the air, swooped her
down, whirled her around. Friend Custer
hadn't wanted to miss trick.
She looked with distaste at the plate of
steaming CLAIMS before her and racked her
brain for some topic of conversation to
launch. Jason was obviously also racking.
Suddenly he frightened. His subconscious

I'll pick you out good pup. Like to have one
of Maudies descendants, wouldn't you?"
Jason, off guard, murmured his pleasure.
Lily, dulled with fatigue, scarcely listened.
JASON, returning from Chicago, had clearly
forgot all about the postponed anniversary
dinner. Lily had too much common sense to
be hurt or annoyed. After all, Jason was first
prize of all the men Lily had ever seen, in
life fairly replete with men.
And presently George Custer must have
completed his Circle Tour and returned to his
ranch. For one afternoon. when Lily and
Jason were enjoying an idle hour together,
Murphy. the butler, came in, look of dis
tress on his wrinkled face "A large crate has
just arrived, sir, containing some sort of ami
NAL. What do you want me to do with it,"
"Animal?" Jasons face was blank I'm
not expecting any animal"

They went into the hall. 1T s from George

Lily leaned against the crate and giggled.

She dove frantically into a closet. Surely
she hadn't pulled out every one. The shelves
were bare. Then, back in a corner, she spled
a battered cardboard box. Lily reached it

there was ring in her voice that meant

The puppy raised his foppy ears and
looked intently at the three human beings
confronting him. Then, with the guile of
dove, he abandoned the divan, loped across
the room and rubbed himself ingratiatmgly
against Murphy's striped trousers.
Murphy was not proof against such flat

ears. Good old Rover" he said. Then,
