But how absurd? It wasn’t as if she were a real im- ^ 'ineter pretending to be some one atee! They would see the same htce, the same bobbed hair, the same clothes she had been wear- tng. They might notice a differ ence in her manner, but they needn’t guess that she was now an entirely different personality! ‘Tve got to get over the feei ng that I’m breaking into this louse and that the first person who sees me can throw me out,” the decided. In the bedroom, Joyce found a chiffonier with drawers full of •he finest silk and batiste under wear. Getting dressed was a slow process, for she kept making new discoveries which she had •o stop and- admire. The clothes aloset was as great a thrill as •he bathroom. She stood, almost in awe, gazing into it, her •honghts a.gain involuntarily re turning to her room in West Philadelphia. “I think I’ve died and gone to a special heaven for working girls!” she gloated. "I could play around here all day looking at clothes. They tan t all be mine! Hut I realty must get dressed and hnrry up tnd find out what I can about mvself. That’.s more important than clothes.” Looking the dresses over hast- Hy, she found that the majority were not only very extreme in ttyle, blit also of vivid colors and patterns such as Joyce hart nevCT worn. She finally picke I aut a sport dress of white crep" 4e chine, and put on wliife .siocU- tngs and shoes.

"What a alxture! Frills must simply have Arlpped with Jewelry. All this Is worth a nice little‘sum, though. It would make me nervous to have It around. How queer te think that I . . . that'part of me . . . could choose things that are so absolutely different from what I really like. Oh, what a wonderful diamond! I never saw anything sparkle like that. It’s fascinating!’’"'She picked out a ring, a large square cut diamond in a delicate platinum setting, and slipped it on the linger which wore the wedding ring. “That must be the engagement ring. I ... I think I’ll wear It. for fun.” She held out her hand at arm’s length and surveyed it with mingled feelings of admir ation and uneasiness. The two rings gave her hand- an unfamil iar look and she felt as if she were borrowing some one else’s jewelry and ma.sqnerading as a married woman just for a joke. “Now for downstairs. I think at last I'll reall.v find out some thing . . . but I feel like Alice in Wonderland—” Joyce hesitated at the top of the steps, her heart beginning to beat violently a.eain and her courage rapidly oozing But in a few moments she ga thered up her courage again, urged on by a combination of curiosity and. to her surprise, a distinct sensation of hunger. She wanted some breakfast right away! .A cup of coffee would help to steady her nerves. .At the fool of the stairs she found a long living-room with Frencli windows. It was furnish ed witli new- and curious furni ture of a type that Joyce had never before .seen and that, un- eypectedly confrouting ti e r. caused her to gasp. The tallies, ciiairs. ami lamp.s were faiilas- fically colored and sliarped. and tliero were here and there, orna- iiieiils so comic that she hurst out laiigliiiig. Slie picked her way gingerly amid furniture tliat was vaguely reiiiiiiiseeiit of the New York .skyscrapers, and crossed the liv ing-room. thinking as siie glanc ed tlirough the glass doors, that she must get out into that heav enly gardeti immediately after lireakfast and pick at least one rose before some one told her to keep off the grass. The wonderful siinniness of all these rooms! The dining- mnin. though smaller than the living-room, wss light and cheer ful. with its long open windows framed in rose vines. What a pleasant place to eat breakfast! Siie heard sounds from lieyond the opiwsile door—low voices, the clink of cliina. a .sudden rush of water, and the rustle of paper. Just as she was wondering wheth er to go into the kitcl-eii and an- iiuonee her presenee or look aroiiiid for a tiell to ring, tile door oiieiied and a woman in a maiil's uniform of blue eham- hray ai'innircd. .She was prohahly utuiut forty Years old. a plump cornfortalile-looking sort of per son wilii a roand. rcil face, siiiooni liiack liair ami tilue evis. Seeing Joyce, site started in surprise getting hold of herself. 1’y tile itiil of ii she liad mad'- s .vral diseoveries. One was tiuil the maid was plainly nervous.

Frills had eviilenlly lieen of a lemperameiit- al disposition toward iioth mastor and maid! .loyee could not help liking the maid's looks. She liad an intiii- tioii that this woman would lie a friend worth having even if she were a servant. The maid iiiiiuired of tier how site felt. “Thank you,” smiled Joyce, ) wishing she ■ knew the inald^ I name, “I feel all right, ezeej^ for a headache and a little stlffneae. I But I’m hungry. I would JHte I some breakfast, please." s"' i The look- of relief in the wom an’s face was so strong as to I amount almost to gratitude. , There was something dog-like 'about It that touched Joyce and ; made her uncomfortable at the [ same time. ‘Til hare Marcia fix It right away, ma’am. What would you I like?” j “Oh, well, let me see. Some I coffee and toast and bacon a I eggs. And . . . and orange Juice. II think." As the maid turned I away, she added. “By the way, ; was there any mall this morn- i ing?” I “Why no, ma’am, there would- jn’t be any today.

Disappointed, she I strolled back to the living-room to wait for breakfast. She had , hoped there would he a letter; it was so peculiar not to know I your own last name. On a three-tier green table set ! close to the back of a strengely ! upholstered davenport lay a few I magazines. I At the bottom of the pile she I found a Saturday Evening Post, ' and on tile tiny yellow address ' laliel were printed the words, (“Neil Packard. Manzanita. Cal.” “N’eil Packard, Manzanita, Cal.!” exclaimed Joyce under her breath, “California! Well, ttiat's some jump from Pliiladel- I phia. .About as far away as I could get. And so his name is N’eil I’ackard. And me. Packard. Frills . I'm Pack- Mrs. Neil ^ ard.” I She looked out of the windows ; iat the wealth of flowers bloom-1 i ing in tlie garden. "No wonder itliere are oranges and roses! No j wonder the hills and nionntaiiis | are so different from any I ever I i-i” ?|;“Ye8? Yesr, tWs ta. Rorie t v moralnjf, lini.'’* Packard. ^!^y yes’, Mm.' Packard’s had 'imkfast hut she has a headache apd said she couldn't see anyone. ... N-no, she Just said 'anyooe.' Well, I’ll ask her. Just a minnte. . ; The next'moment the maid seeing Joyce, said apologetically, “Mrs.'^'Paul Packard, ma'am', on the phone and . wants to know how you are, She said' Mr. Neil has asked her to come o'ver to see you and she’s Jnst ready to start now.” “Oh? But . . . but—please tell her my head—I Just don’t feel I can talk or—or see anyone to day," stammered Joyce, “I think I’d better keep pretty quiet for a little while. I . . . I’m sorry.” She looked helplessly at the maid, who returned without com ment to the telephone and de livered the message. Joyce listen ed. worderlng worriedly wheth er she should hare tarken the plunge. Perhaps her refusal to see Mrs. Paul Packard would, cause trouble. She decided regretfully that she had best not go out into the garden where unexpected callers might find her. She would be safer lip in her room for this day at least. What she must find now were letters and other evidence to enlighten her further. In her bedroom again, she dis covered that one of the mirrors beside the dressing table formed the panel of a door. “This,” mur mured Joyce, turning the glass handle and looking into the next room, “must he my boudoir! Ah, there’s a desk at last. I was just beginning to wonder whether there was any place in this whole house where one could write a letter. Now I certainly ought to discover something more.” She sat down at the desk. “Now I feel like a real crook,” she thought unconitortably.
