Her eyes lifted to Dudley Page
but he was looking away from her.
Another guest had arrived and, ex-
cusing himself, he jumped up and
went into the hall.

Mrs. Hall put her hand u to her

The Moore girl was head taller
than Dudley Page. ST had a dark.

showed its every curve in the gun

Mr.. Hall drew up a chair and the
Moore girl sat down. crossing her
knees and spilling ashes from her
cigarette down over her dress and
on Mrs. Smiths oriental rug.

An Odd Accident Causes
A Miserable EVENING

Mr.. Hall cleared his throat and be-
gan to discuss Academy affairs with
Mrs. Blake. Grace's grandfather
had built and endowed Riverdale
Academy and Mrs. Blake, who was
on the board of trustees. spent SUBJ
Stantial sums on Improvements. This
year her money was being used t.
repair the stadium.
At that moment, portieres, drawn
between the living and dining rooms,
parted and the stocky figure of Ed
ma, the maid. appeared. Her cheeks
were fiery red.
May see you in the dining
room ninute?" she mumbled to
Mrs. Smith.
Edna disliked summer entertain
ing. If it had to be, she felt that six
were sufficient at table. Tonight
there were ten and, as a conse-
quence, Mrs. Smith had engaged a
helper. Edna disliked having people
under foot" She was further In
censed when the helper brought
along her gawky, inquisitive twelve
year old daughter. The child insist
ed upon tasting everything and to
save dissertation of the orange sauce
which she had made to serve with
the roast duck, Edna had sent Vic
toria, the child, into the dining room
with pitcher of ice water and in
structionS to fill the drinking glass
es. Victoria had carelessly spilled
water on six embroidered mats. Aft
er frenzied search, Edna had found
sufficient clean, dry linen but in
replacing the wet mats with the dry,
the name cards had become hope
lessly disarranged.
Edna could moi. recall the original
seating arrangement.
Remembering that Mrs. Smith had
changed the cards around half a
dozen times before she had seemed
satisfied, Edna did the logical thing.
She spoke to Mrs. Smith with the
intention Of reporting the accident.
AS it happened, Effie did not wish
to leave the living room for even
one minute. In her desire to help
Kate, Effie had impulsively done
something which now seemed to
her the most unwise act Of her en-
tire life. Late that afternoon, In
great secrecy, she had telephoned
Scott Kenyon's house. The doctor
was not present but through his
sister, Edith, Mrs. Smith had issued
a dinner invitation to Scott. Edith
had at once accepted for her broth
er and Effie had hung up in glow
of dissatisfaction. deluding herself
into the belief that any two people
meaning Kate and Scott-who
broke bread together could not pos
-'N'-- --'~~ain enemies.

Harry and Grace Blake
Quarrel at Dinner Party

Its a mans world" she re-
minded. I'VE women ought to stick
together"
Count me in on that" Kate said,
smiling.
She was relieved, however, when
Elizabeth Moore rose and moved
restlessly off. She went across the
room, refilled her wine glass, drank
from it, then wandered to a grand
piano. She sat down and played a
few chords, humming beneath her
breath. Dudley Page went over and
leaned against the piano. The two
conversed in low tones. Kate felt
instinctively they had some sort
of understanding.
A car door slammed.
THAT must be Grace and Harry"
said Mrs. Smith.
In the hall, Grace Blake greeted
Effie with a wan smile. Grace was
large, plain, over-dressed woman
with henna-dyed hair and a wrin-
killed. neck partly concealed beneath
the folds Of black chiffon scarf.
She was tired and depressed but she
had been glad to accept Mr..
Smiths dinner invitation. Harry
maintained the Smiths were snobs,
but Grace knew the importance Of
having Harry's name linked social
ly with that Of the Smiths.
Grace had married against the ad-
vice Of her friends. She had told
them that May and November mar
riages seldom worked out but hers
would be different. Lately, however.
doubt had began 70 creep into
Grace's mind. She spent most of

She felt his eyes covertly study

"Oh, hear things" teased KATE.
She paused while Dudley Page &C.
cepted glass of port from DR..

to be a memorable evening as far
as Virginia was concerned. Virginia
had not known that her bud was to
be dinner guest of the Smiths. She
said, "At the moment I'm rooming
with Virginia Perry"
"Oh, see."
He looked unimpressed, almost
uninterested.
