After the hop at Barrancas, l! woke early next morning. The group! i of casement windows that faced roej f were changed into one great splotch! of blue like stained*"church-glass win- < dows. Slipping into my negligee Ij i ran over and looked out at the res- j \ urrection of the morning. It was the 4 _ t time of day when all things are stir? : t ring I could hear the first shy twit-j \ tersng of the birds in the tropical! oleander trees that reached up to I the window, their tops all ending in 1 # clusters of sbeli-pink blossoms. Lean- ? ing out I caught one in my fingers > and the tug at the stem aroused its \ companion flowers who sent up a 1 sea of fragrance and I drank in their j ? sweetness. 1 r ii was cimiy, my cmtlon negligee j < was too thin for the early morning. ( I looked about tor something with | ^ more warmth to put on my shoulders j < and seeing my evening cape on a j * chair where I had flung it a few hours earlier, I wrapped it around | me snugly and settling down in the ? silken pillows of the window seat j resumed my dreaming. Everything f out of doors was so fresh and lovely, the sparkling dewdrops making the , blades of grass and trees resplendent., \ Suddenly I was conscious of an intru- [ ding odor?that was not the dainty ? fragrance of the oleander?no, it was stale and heavy. It came from the v remains of several cigareets in a , nearby receiver. x They seemed to have no part in \ the picture and 1 flung them far out of the window. But somehow * the spell was broken and thoughts , of the dance came surging. I re- ? numbered Warren Fisher and felt c a wave of embarrassment. After his wife had treated me so cool 1 t lost interest in the party. It wasn't that 1 cared about his being married for 1 realised that the attraction I i h;. felt for him was superficial, but j j. I resented being placed in the posi-|s tion of having Mrrs. Fisher think I mad about her good looking hus-, j band. Well, 1 was r.ot mad about him! ? had not been mad about him, and' never would he, for that matter. I j Hight at that moment there wasi j only one person 1 wanted to see. i That was curtis Wright, and with the thought of him I became very | j lonely. He was so different from ' j the other men with their "hot-, line.-," as Eliie called them. If he | ever fell in love with a girl it would' be the big love of his life, the one i real. living, throbbing adventui (and he'd be true to her in thought and \ in deed?not a flirt like Warren Fisher. And yet?he hated fiappc vs. I wondered if I had been reared in ; a different Environment if l could ^ have been the dieam girl be wanted. , !f my mother had lived I would r not. have been a flapper. She was $ attractive and charming, and could be frivolous, and yet she bad a depth , of mind unlike most of my friends' t mothers and a yearning for mental ? attainment, one nan waiueu me iu i be accomplished and urged me to < study ait and go 011 with my music. > "With your mind full of interesting , and beautiful things you won't be ? caught in the maelstrom that's com- i ing."?I could hear her saying. I wondered if she meant jazz and cock < tail parties and petting. If she had not been taken away maybe 1 would have been Curtis Wright's first love And with his name on my breath?j I slipped down into the pillow and j in a few moments was dozing. j ( ? * Late that afternoon, still more or; less subdued from my thoughts of ] the morning, I wandered nway from the rest of the crowd and sat ' alone on the terrace overlooking the unruffled surface of the uzure water. Cato, one of the Japanese servants.; brought me a telegram and a square box from the florist's. I opened the j w uc. "When a woman has a man in for Sunday night's supper she's noth ing short of designing," Marjorie. It was just like Marj to do that. She didn't realize hov; I had begun to feei about the silly bet we had made in the beginning and I understood the spirit of fun in which she had sent it. I re-read the words; a dull, slow emotion surged over me and I realized that I hated Anne Cod dington For the first time in my life '1 was jealous.. So they had been to-, ^ gether Sunday night?Anne and Cur-1 tiss .... people would begin liuk-j ing their names together. 1 was pi-1 qued and my rage mounted higher' and higher.

Each chapter is complete in 'tself -lL.dit.or. 1 IS PIQUED" ~ ~ I tort* the string from the box ami t was fuli of orchids. The card was iippant: "Am cornpletely surrounded by the Germans. Otherwise 1 would be as lear these flowers which I beseech ou to wear this evening. Other days ;tretch^ forth with promise. The bought is distant, but it brings a '-arrr.th to a lonely heart. Warren." "The Germans"?-he meant his wife had been told that he had married ler for bet money and that she wathed him with suspicion. They were pending the winter at one of the iretty homes on the bay shore and lis escapades were the talk of Penacoia. "The Germans"?1 smiled md re-read the last part of the mesage. Since hearing about Anne and "urtis Wright I liked Warren Fisher. iVhat difference did it make if he lid flirt? He made love exquisitely. 'Curtis Wright couid take unpopular Vnnc- Coddington and go the devil!" murmured, and skipped hack into he living room where Ellie was movng about making light shine softly iom lovely lamps in far corners. " Where-ve you been Sallie? Not nooning. She called to me gaily; the >oys are in from the links and have icen ^creaming for the 'life of the >arty.' Here they are now." And with their arrival came Cato vith his magical tray of cocktails and n a few moments the room resounded vith good natured small talk and aughter. "It's a good thing mother and dad ire in Cuba," laughed Ellie as one >f the boys, who had been drinking a ot, began snapping the fragile stems f the glasses. "Hope they like the climate so well hcy'll stay forever/' responded the I est r oyer. "Here's hoping the\ won't come 3ack before morning?won't come ack before mornin'" another began inging. And still another: "Tell you whats ct's do, let's all stay up all night hoot craps, play poker and have a eg'lar all night party. We will go nto town for ham an' when the day s dawning." "I've a better idea than that," Julith McLean suggested. It's wilder, ludith couldn't drink very much and noticed her eyes were siary. (To he continued next week.)
