I never was a particular friend of the Marcella girls, but I teal I ought to stand by her, in the instance." - The man broke into a harsh laugh. What a consummate "possur" wap this pert young female! And he'd done so much for her! This was his thanks! But she evidently wasn't to be 'sot around.' He must change his tack. "Look here, Leonie, we've always been good pals. Why not come right out in the open and state'your case? What on earth's gained by beating about the bush? It gets us nowhere." This was irrefutable. "You admit, then, that the tale is true?" She put an elbow on the plass-topped wicker table that di- vided them, and propped her chin thoughtfully upon her hand. "It lsat a principle of mine to admit anything. But, as a woman of Intelligence, you must see that it might go rather against me with { Marcella to have & yarn of this sort "Should I be wasting my time in » brought to her ears at the eleventh hour, when our marriage day ap- girl? pursued Miss Leonfe in lan-| proaches "Oh, is it as soon as that?

Bot over the infatuation for the sculptor fellow, when she could speak so lightly of another woman taking him away from her? He But then one never knew working of the female mind. "You think that Marcella would sngich at any excuse to get out of her engagement with you?" went on Leonie, watching her effect with shrewd, calculating eyes. "That at- titude of mind isn't very promising for married life, is itr" It was against her own Interest to point out this undeniable fact, but she couldn't at the moment re- sist the impulse to 'bait' him, know- ing #ull well his inflexible deter- mination to marry his reluctant bride. Besides, it was fun to tease and sanoy him, realising that her grip on him was so secure, now that this extraordinary knowledge had come accidentally into her, possession. Like the sword of Dumocles, she could bang it over his head. until the very nuptial day!

There seems to be no definite type of tweeds or cut. I suppose they'd think the 'plus fours' our men wear, ridiculously baggy." Some girls in gaily | coloured woolen sweaters' went by on the veranda, laughing and talking. They looked so carefree that Leonie-- adventuress by dint of ecireum- stances, and not from choice, .she told herself--quite envied them. Rich parents were undoubtedly be- hind them. - They hada"t to..soot for money in the unpalatable ways that fell to her! , .
