Great was her chargrin nivi afternoon when a telephone call from him informed her that business again delayed him. . . There would be whispering among the guests that night, Bhe knew. The gang lovea to seize on onvthinir like that and treat it as a grand joke to hint at martial infidelity. The house-warming went with a whiz-bang, none the less. The crowd turned out in force. June took command. One or two people nncnlv nrhisnered that Julie was de termined to reign as mistress here and probably woum get ner nnm wav in the end. . . .1 Champagne flowed like water. Julie's champagne and sidecars and mrHift were extremely potent. Dario was there.

An unusual and exciting incident occurred with the belated arrival of Lefty Glyn, just as Chotty was having one 'grand flirtation with Dario!

Whv shouldn't men go around with jewels and sapphaires if they want to? Why shouldn't" but Lefty, sickened bv thin h&A move! swav Dario came in from the terrace of the Van Tyles' penthouse and started dancinir the Rnnihn with Chotty to the music of a small or chestra in the next room. The party was very gay. Dario held .Chotty very tight cheek to cheek in this intoxicating rhythm, Lefty watched them at some distance from the open doorway, his look lowering. Finally he could stand it no longer. He went straight up to them, stopping them. Chotty flared up: "Mind your own business. Leftv! You're not 'driving colts here!" : "Let go of her," breathed Lefty, c-ivinc Dario a mitrhtv DUsh with the fiat of his hand which sent him spinning backward. Chotty, you ime with me!" Dario leaped forward like a steel spring, his eyes dangerous. His rieht hand made a curious move ment to his trouser pocket. "You !" he shouted. Lefty hit out at him, but he was agile as a cat, he sprang aside. Sud denly a mask seemed to drop over his blazing features. With a low ironic bow to Chotty and Lefty, he address the latter: "Very well, if you wish it. I will leave the lady to you." :: Tmmediatelv thereafter, taking a polite farewell of his hostess but letting her know at the same time that he had been insulted by a roughneck, Dario departed. "Now vou leave rieht awav with me, Chotty! Don't you argue! I've stood this long enougn, vveu s,ei out of this and settle things straight and square tonight, be tween us," Lefty told her rougniy. Lefty had his car below. Thrilled at his he-man action, his posses siveness, Chotty. though pretending extreme reluctance, suffered ner self to leave, with Lefty. The night air felt cool and clean. After all, fun or no fun, it had been rather a Bacchanalian scene from which they had just departed. . , . "dnnA henvens! Mv emerald pin! diamond bracelets they've gone!" suddenly shouted Julie Trevor at the top oi ner voice. Immediately there was an uproar at the party. The music ceaseo. " Jumping Jehosapnati i ve iosi my platinum and sapphire pen dant!" screamed Precious, feeling at her throat and bosom, her child ish face aghast. "My watch and chain!" screeched DaflFodill. He felt his left wrist. "Oh, and that dee-vine mdentinca tion bracelet Prince Pitoffsky gave me it's been stolen!" Virginia was shocked to tne core at this happening. "Where do you keep your money ?" someone asked her "Better go ana see u u a owu. there!" . With faltering steps lor sne xen very far from well she went to a small locked drawer in her bureau and found it open! One hundred and eighty dollars had disappeared and some antique jewelery she lj :u:to from her mother! : IlttU llJll ' ... , "Virginia! Your beautnui peari necklace! Where has it gone?" White as sheet, she felt her throat. The string had vanished! Julie was the first person at the phone to summon the police. "And no one leaves till they arrive," she snapped. She wasn't going to be a loser! , , It was almost dawn before the final guests departed. The police had gone away, after making co pious notes. They naa queauu.. Virginia closely about Dario.

An overturned glass had made a wretched stain right in the middle of an expensive Chinese rug, and cocktails had been spilled on deli cate sofa cushions and chair cover ings. ... Down the front of Virginia's chif fon gown, some reveler had ac cidentally jerked a glass of bacardi. Indeed, the anartment was in an awful mess those rows of empty bottles-those reeking glasses the stubs of cigars and cigarettes and ashes everywhere. . . . In a futile way she tried to straighten things, .But the stifling atmosiihere overcame her. She flung a window open and stood there, drawing deep breaths of the early morning air. A Church clock phimed the hour OI lour. Virginia felt ill. She crossed the floor to a larsre Venetian mirror and stared at herself. Her reflection looked like that of a stranger!
