Ellen ? insists upon living her own life, maintaining I her home in her small room, even though Tony is wealthy. . . . Jane, of Tony's wealthy l set. is disappointed in Tonv's sudden marriage I ; to I lien. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. I ' Ellen, reading Sandy's note, grit ted lift teeth and realized that she was indeed in a box. And so it came about that, with the advent of the weekend, Ellen found herself en route to the house parly ? and in a car with two men. ? On the way out KHen had bet n | picturing that home. She had seen i it. in her mind's eye, as a magni ' fic ut place of stone and stained gia.?s. I'ut in a way she had been wrong. l'or Jane's home, though it \v:.s large and stately and snaj, nilicent, v.as magnificent in the 1 early colonial manner.

And, "Jack, here, was in my c.ass in college." . Ellen heard her own voice mak ing polite responses; catching the double entente of a sentence here and tossing it back. She had drag ged off her small hate and was unning her slim, nervous fingers through the tousle of her curls ? Tane v.as still standing by the door 'way of the drawing room with one hand resting on a bell cord, with the other outspread over her heart. Ellen, through the veil of her own lashes, could see the hurt in Janes eyes as they followed Tony's broad twecd-covered back down the length of the room. . . All at once, for the first time since Jane had dawned upon her horizon, Ellen was being sorry for the other girl! lane's mother was saying some thing. and Ellen bent near to listen. "We're all . so fond " of Tony;' Jane's mother was saying gently "We've all beefi anxious to meet his wife. Jane's description of you hasn't been very clear. You're so pret'.y. my dear?" Jane's mother sighed, "and so young. Tony's a verv fortunate boy." All "at once, impulsively. Elan's haui! reaching out to touch *h? h-ir-1 of the sli''1 wnn -n tintH in si iv:"- -nd r -thy st. Here at 1-ast, in t'.i.~ mad room, vas one oa;:is ? one .cool, friT.d'y o^sis. + ? ? As Ellen -'-t4 .cl for dinner in the room to which she had been allotted, t=he felt that she was touching on a part of life so softly upholstered that it was unreal. Her suitcase had been opened by some unseen but deft maid. Her underwear had already been laid carcfully in bureau drawers. Ellen was glad that it was pretty! Her best evening frock was spread out upon the bed, and beneath it stood her satin slippers. Rather wearily Ellen clinibed out of the dress in which she had jour neyed from the city, but her weari ness vanished after a warm scented bath. ' ) She wondered what time dinner would be served, and whether she would be seated next to Tony at | dinner. While she was wondering, j She did not draw her hand away, even though it was held so loosely. there came a knock at the door which, with a fluttering at the pulse! ] ?she answered. It was a maid, cm- | rect in taffeta and white organdy. Ellen smiled involuntarily at sight of her, and the maid beamed back. Here again was friendliness. "Miss Jane," the maid told her, "is having the young ladies in her dressing room for a first cocktail. She said to come in negligee ? the others will be that way. Just ? ' the maid was quoting, "a breathing space before dinner. Iler negligee' As she wrapped it around her small, slender body, F.llen was conscious of its defi ciencies. But then she hadn't ex pected her negligee to be under ob -crvation. It was a plain little thing cf dark figured silk, cut along boy ish lines, and with pockets. As she knocked upon the door, the mirth died down suddenly, and then Jane's clear, crisp voice called, 'Come in!" ' Ellen pushed the door wide and' entered Ellen feared that she looked as anen, in her plain, little coat, as she felt ? for the other girls wlere dressed in cleverly rut satin, in wide ankled pajamas, in negligees that fell from gleaming shoulders to swish aroundi gleaming slippers. Frankly, as Ellen became one of thfe gijoup, they appraised her. Jane was shaking the cocktails ? Jane in the white satin that she so often wore; only this time the white satin was cut with trousers and a mandarin coat that had clever touches of peacock blue and silver in its embroidery. Nearby stood the girl Margie, draped against the mantle shelf like one of the loose-limbed debutante dolls that are so boneless and so decorative. "Hello, Ellen," said Margie, and there was more warmth in her voice than there had been in Jane's. "Say, I'm glad you brought your boy friend. He's amusing ? the one with the whiskers, I mean." Ellen laughed. She didn't dislike Margie. "He thinks you're amusing, too," she said. "He's mad to paint you." "Nude?" asked Margie. Her voice had a slightly rising note. "Isn't that the way artists usually paint their women?" Ellen felt her color rising, but she answered levelly. -'"Some do," she answered, "but not Sandy. He's a fashion man pri marily, although he does stunning illustrations." ? "Oh," said Margie. That was all. The other girls were bending for ward, frosted glasses in hand, cigar ettes held before carefully rouged lips. One of them, a dark young person, spoke languidly. "You're the first model I ever e;?c she Mid "Do you pose for (! e figure?" Again EUen answered as casualty a - she could. "Only for my mother, years ago ? " she told the dark girl. "She was an artist, you see. She was father ?in important artist. You probabl> wouldn't know ... I'm afraid ???* even if I wanted to pose in the ai together I couldn't compete with some of the models who go m for figure work. My ownr figure? sh* laughed, apologetically and smoothed the dark silk t h a shrouded her knees. ! ' Jane stopped shaking the cock tails. She poured one for hersett, , with a steady hand. f> "I won't offer you a glass, EUen, she said at last. "I know you don t drink. You've none of the obvious vices. Is it?" she paused, and the dark girl, whose name Ellen dian t know, went on. "It is a pose?" drawled the dark girl. "Your Elsie Dinsinore attitude? If so, it's a good one." . Ellen stretched her feet out in front of her, and regarded the toes of her plain little black slippers. "Call it a pose, if you want to," she said, at last "I'm not the type to smoke and be catty and get tight. One has to be dark and dramatic lo get away with that, I fear ? " Margie, still draped against the mantel, chuckled. "Atta, kid," said Margie, almost iunudibly. Margie was blonde. Dinner was again a magnificent jumble ? all the way from the caviar in its little ice molds to the mag nificent birthday cake that was car ried in, blazing, by the butler. Ellen didn't sit next to Tony ? :hc sat next to Sandy, at the ex tieiuc end of the table. "Below the sail," Saudy whispered to her. Tony sat at Jane's right. Somebody was toasting Jane. It wasn't Tony ? that was all Ellen could tell. But it was somebody with a voice well bred and assured like Tony's. '"There's nothing we can wish her," said the voice, "she has every thing!" ^ "Yeah," said Sandy under his brcith, to Ellen, "not quite every thing. We know." Ellen wanted to slap him ? to do in- -re. to murder him! They danced after dinner, in the same drawing room. When the d incing began. Jane held out her hmd to Tony with an air so pro prietary that it trave EUen a little kicked- feeling- ? in \ the pit oi her stomach. But she scarcely had time fi>r any definite feeUpgs, for she was bring whirled off jjp the ; rm< of tnc stout bov who, like r.ftny Mout youths, was an exceptionally good dancer. rt ^ And then somebody was cutting in ? one of the Jacks or Jim# or Charleys who had been in Tony'# class in college. ? s It was the fourth dance before Ellen found h*r|?Ui' her husband's arms ? found hew^ff being steered, with a complete directness of pur pose, toward a conservatory that opened out of the room in Which they danced. "I've got to see you alone," To?y mi.rmured in her ear. "This is the queerest sitnatio.i I've ever been mixed up in." 'That, "> said Ellen, "goes doublel" "Gosh almighty!" said Tony. Just that. And ? "I wonder why I came-" Ellen asked of ' him, very seriously. Tony's hands were holding hers so tightly that her wedding ring bit into the two fingers next to it "Have they been giving you a buggy ride?" he asked Ellen. Ml heard that they looked you over before dinner. M:?rgie told me." "They tried to," Ellen told him, "but I can take care of myself." "Sometimes," said Tony, "I wish you couldn't!" ''What was the idea, anyway?" Ellen wanted to know. "This party, I mean. If it hadn't been for Sandy, and for the way he precipitated me into it, it would have all the ear marks of being an announcement for you and Jane of something or other. I feel like a guilty secret." "You may be guilty," said Tony, "but you're no secret ? not any more! To tell you the truth, Ellen." he admitted, I don't quite get the hang of this thing, myself. Believe It or not- ? when the party came up ithat night, it was just sheer devil ishness on Jane's part. I realized it at the time; it took me off my feet for a moment. She'd said nothing jabout any party to me, before. She just said it to get your goat. I'm not even sure It's her birthday, to night ? I never can remember date?. I wouldn't have told you this tf Sandy hadn't made her come through In a big way. When he did I was tickled to death. It gave me a chance to be with you again. I told a dozen lies ? white ones ? about how mv friends would feel ? and yours ? So that was that! Ellen all along had suspected, from Tonv's bewild erment on the night of the im promptu meeting, that there had been something odd in back of the birthday party arrangements.
