Instead of spending the remainder of the day with Erie, she went to her room and would not see anyone, until it was just about time for him to leave. Then she begged Bob to ask him to. telenhone your place to apologize to him. You‘re a perfect .fool summing up the works snapped, “I’m through!" “You’re through, are you? And I’m an ape? No woman can call me names and get away with it. You'll be good Bob sat down on the edge of the bed. “You shouldn’t have been so rude to him. Bill told me that Eric was “What time is it?” “It’s eight o’clock. Come on; snap out of it. Get up and get dressed. See- ing that you have on several occasions helped Doreen and I iron out a few arguments, I’ll see what I can do} about this mess that you have gotten yourself into.” ‘ “Oh Bob, you’re a prince,” Marilyn ireplied, jumping out of bed. “Now run 'along. Bill's a good sport, so ask him to do his darndest too.” f‘All right; but hurry and dress.” It ,ivas no use. Bob begged Eric to let Marilyn apologize and even couldn’t persuade him to change mind. When Marilyn arrived in the lounge,‘ after making herself look her prettiest, Eric had just gone. The young girl was heartbroken, and remained secluded for several days, not seeingany of. her friends. In the young girl’s capacious room, which f‘iwas beautifully furnished in mauve and green chintz, with three large windows facing the ocean, Mrs. Grainger was having afternoon tea with her daughter, and looking very much worried, remarked, “Really, Mar- ilyn, I do not understand you. Eric makes the third man within the last month whom you have rejected. Col- onel Coxwell was one of the finest men I have met in a long time. Major Bradshaw comes from a very fine old English family, and Ericâ€"” “Now what about Eric?” the young girl interrupted, “Need we go into all that again?” “Ym; were terribly’rude to him, and he was so much in love with you.” “But, be misunderstood me,” “Listen here, 518,” Bob said, “It’s “Mother, I’m mad about Eric. I didn’t give him the air. He wanted me to marry him this October, and I simply told him that I cOuldn’t possibly be ready by then. No use rushing me to death. When I told him I hoped he wasn't effe'mlnate like some actors are nowadays, well, that just clinched it.” “Now why did you have to go and say a thing like that for?” her other asked wearily, “I’m so upset, if were not for your father I would leave to- morrow. Everybody has been asking for you. Marie Winters wanted to know if MR. 61 1 (Continued from page 6.) you would be downstairs today, and Eveline Chandler is giving a party to- night for some world fliers who have just arrived, and of course, she is most anxious to have you meet them. Now what am I to say?” “Not a darn thing!” her daughter ex- claimed, jumping out of bed, “I’m go- ing to have a. shower, doll up and go downstairs. I’m sick of staying up here.” i. human 'being. Your father and Bob will be pleased when I tell them you are coming downstairs.” Marilyn, slipping an elaborate satin gown over her pyjamas, remarked casJ ually that she would, telephone Eve- line Chandler and tell her she would be glad to attend the party. Mrs. Grainger’s worried eXpression disappeared, 'and she seemed quite pleased. Putting her arms around her daughter, she suggested that she wear her new green chiffon dress. “That’s a good girl. Look your very best, and for once, we’ll surprise everybody by all going into the diningroom together.” Directly dinner was over, Mhrflyn feelimr/ the need of some fresh air. “Wen!” her mother approved, “So you’ve deeided to get up and act like feeling! the need strolled down the bridalâ€"path leading to the summer house. On arriving there, she noticed to her great astonishment, that Miss Kimberley was lounging in one of the easy chairs. Silent Partner with $3,000.00 to in- vest in Manufacturing Concern in Grey County. Modest estimate is 10 per cent annual interest. Might consider two or more W with ’9 fl Marilyn, being very much‘ surprised at her appearance on the scene again, threw herself into one of the wicker tired Marilyn looked, asked her to come ovi- and sit on the arm of her chalr. “Now my dear, I want you to tell'me, what you have been doing since. I last saw you. Give me all the new .” Marilyn related everythlng, omitting none of the details. “As the Mounties would say, you got your man." “Yes. But, unlike themfunfortunate- 1y I lost him,” the girl sobbed. “We had an awful row and I haven’t seen him since. Bill tried to persuade him to cbme back, buthe w0uldn’t. I wrote him a note, but up until now, he has simply ignored me.” The older woman placed her arm around Marilyn’s shoulders and re- plied Optimistically, “Now, honey, don’t cry any more; everything will turn out all. right, I’m sure. He will come back after he has thought things over.” Marilyn dried her eyes. “Well, I ad- mit it was my fault, and I certainly would like to have the chance to try and make him understand.” ' Suddenly it dawned upon her why Miss Kimberley had left, and she asked eagerly, “What happened? Why don’t yorl give me an account of yourself? Gee, I’m glad you’re back. I’m so sorry you didn’t meet Eric. He was wonder-. ful.” “That‘s lovely of you to say that, my dear,” her friend replied sweetly, “The reason I missed Eric was that Mrs. Grainger gave me the air, but good so- cial hostesses are hard to find.” ' “Good social hostesses, did you say?” Marilyn echoed, her eyebrows lifting {with an exaggerated suggestion of in- .nocence. “Well, Mrs. Grier must have 1;epent'- ed being so hasty, because they sent for me to return.” “Gee, I’m glad. Let’s go for a spin in the car. It seems so terribly sultry.” “I’ll say it’s hot, and I would like to go for a drive,” Miss Kimberley ac- quiesced, politely, ' “But what about Eveline's party for those flyers?" “Oh, we’ll be back in lots of time,” the younger girl replied carelessly. The two friends made their way to the garage, where Marilyn’s roadster was backed out by the Graingers’ chaffeur. They jumped in. Marilyn. seated at the wheel, gave instructions to the man to phone the hotel and in- form her parents that' she would be back inside of an hour. They had only been out a short time, when it seemed to darken up suddenly as if a storm wasapproaching. In a short time the rain came down in torrents, and it was impossible to take any chances driv- ing. “Well, this is some storm. Hape is over. Here’s a cottage over here. Looks like one of Mr. Grier's. I think it would be a good idea to park this wagon of mine and make for some place where we can at least get some shelter,” Marilyn jerked out, trying at the same time to keep the car on the road. “Here is a rain coat for you. I’ll put this leather jacket on and see if I can get into this place. You stay' here until I call for you.” \ . Marilyn hastily jumped from the car, and made for the door of the cot- tage. Finding this locked, she broke one of the windows looking out onto the long porch, with a, golf club, which happened to be lying there. Climbing into the room, the young girl unlocked the door and called for her friend, who, like Marilyn, dashed madly for the cot- tage With the rain coat about her. “Welcome! Boy, this is some dump! Wonder’ if that oranmental fireplace really works. Lets’ try it, and perhaps we can dry out a bit," said Marilyn ex- citedly. - They finally succeeded in starting a fire with some cedar logs which they had discovered. The glow from the fire lent an air of warmth and cosiness about the spacious living room with its heavily beamed ceiling, and the gaily arranged summer furniture which adorned the interior of the cottage. Marilyn, at once conscious of the fact that she had ruined her dress, and that her shoes and stockings were very wet. began to take them off and dry them on the screen in front of the fire. “Well, I don’t know about you, but at least some of my things will be dry," Marilyn said quite contentediy, busily engaged 'in making herself look more presentable. The social hostess laughed. “Well, what, may I ask, is the joke?” inquired Marilyn, turning quickly. “Oh, I am just amused at watching a little mouse playing around your feet.” Myra set-earned and jumped upon .the table. When she had regained her Qfinfiésure. the young girl noticed that was Kimberley seemed to be enjoy- party him into Miss Kimberley. “My God. mic!” Marilyn almost fell from the table, and Mr. 611 was only in timetoclnspherinhisums.where he held her tightly, until she had con- sented to marry him in October. Complying with Murilyn's request for an explanation, Eric informed her that the Griers were old friends of his, and that they had consented to his being Miss Kimberwy for a week or so, in order to pull a fast one on Marilyn. The young girl’s only response was to nestle more comfortably in his arms. “Let’s hope,” Eric whispered, “that the car on the honeymoon express will be number 611.” North E gremont (Our Own Correspondent) Miss Armitage, q Toronto, is spend- ing a couple of weeks with Mr. and Mrs. Earl Mead.
