The place is like a morgue} "Don’t tell me,” the young man said, handing her the mail, “that you have forgotten all about the masquerade at the Country Club? Now run upstairs and dig up a costume." “What am I to use for a partner?” “Oh, I forgot to tell you.

"I would rather you broke out in a costume,” the young man answered, rummaging through an old trunk con- taining fancy dress costumes. which he had sent to him from home. “Are you wearing that?" the young girl asked. pointing to a white wig. which Billie was examining very care- fully. “No. I am not. I am going as Mes- phistopholes. Wait till you see my cos- tume." "Why bother with a costume?” Billie made a grimace at her. “Any- thing there that you want?

Do you realize that when the big hand of that clock over there goes around the dial again everyone will be dressed and search- ing for you. if you don’t show up? Please do, Marilyn. The crowd will be frightfully disappointed if you don’t go. No kidding. Eric is a peach, and he’s taking his car, so if you're tagged before the party is over, he can bring you back.” “But that would spoil his fun. Say, Billie, what could I wear? I think I’ll go up and see what Marie Winters might suggest.” “Well, Er Heaven’s sake step on it, and if you see Marie, tell her that Mother has a wig for Doreen.” “Is your mother back?” the young girl called to him, just as she was about to step on the elevator. “Yes. you'll see her later. Don’t for- get, I haven't heard about the trip yet.” Marilyn, having changed her mind, decided to have a chat with the social hostess instead of Marie, regarding what to wear at the masquerade. Having asked the boy to let her off at the sec- ond floor, the young girl walked along the hall to Miss Kimberley’s r’oom, and to her surprise found the door slight- ly ajar. Marilyn knocked several times. Receiving no response, she walked in, presuming that her friend would be back at any moment. She felt fatigued, and, throwing herself on the bed, was By KATHRYN L.

Within a few moments the door op- ened,‘ and a young man entered the room, and having switched on the light: found to his amazement, a young girl lying on the bed, sound asleep. The disturbance awakened Marilyn. She opened her eyes, blinking stupidly, not realizing for the moment just where shewas, then it all dawned upon her that she was not dreaming, and that the man facing her was no other than Mr. 611. The young girl sat up and demanded angrily, “What are you doing in Miss Kimberley’s room?" “I’m afraid you are mistaken, This room was assigned to me, and I assure you that I am its only occupan Marilyn was surprised and wonder ed where the social hostess could be. “I beg your pardon I thought that Mr. Grier’s son might have told me that Miss Kimberley wasn't occupying this room any more. But, of course, he was ,busy, and forgot all about it. I sup- pose you don’t know where she is?” “I sure do,” the young man replied. “Mrs. Grier came back a couple of days ago. and the night before last, about 12.30, after she had played bridge with the Chandlers, caught her hus- band up here with Miss Kimberley. There was a scene, of Course, and the social hostess left yesterday. Now what do you think of that?” “Oh. I don't know what to think. Please don’t put your arm around me.

It’s tough, I know. driving so much, but I may as well tell you who I am. I'm Eric Stanford, and I know all about you. You are Marilyn Grainger, the dare-devil aviatrix." Marilyn interrupted him, “So! You are Eric Stanford, the man I’m sup- posed to be going to the dance with to- night?” “In person. Haven‘t you the same greeting for me now that you had on the train.

Needless to say, Marilyn and Eric were desperately in love. To the young glrl it seemed as if she were living in an age of miracles, for she had actual- “Please don't! Someone may H 0......... .0.
