There is more in these remarks than meets the eye!" Marcella told kfowiig her father as Bo diplomat. "Warwiék has been hint- 8% of his feeling for me, and Daddy wonders if I care for him." Aloud she sald, with appirent non- dhalance je "Did you 589 much of him while I wis way?" "1 did, latterly. He came to 8 dotiple of megtings with me, and took the most intelligent interest in & paper that 1 read." ("Diplomatic Warwickt" thought y | Mateella. "Trying to get on Daddy's .good boks, so that the path of true love might fun easier when I re- turned!") "Heowtalls me~-that hs thinks very. highly of you, my child. Ne feenis a clever, honourable, upright man. Andon, I don't want these things for myself--<but he is so rich- ly endowsd with this world's goods thit surely you.would have all the things that girls like you enjoy--1 have beet & Dad father, Marcella, from the wordly point of view---and this man is in 8 great position, and he loves you a8 you deserve to be loved" His stammeriog ended at a look on his daughtet's face. "Youn'don't want me to marry without love, do you, Daddy?" "No, no, of course not. But he has everything. Qualities of mind, and companionableness----would you not soon learn to love him? I mean --"'whe floundered helplessly---is it right fo let this good man go out of your life, my dear? Men like that are Scares, theses days. Your poor mother---she loved me, yes--bdut I could never give her the setting, the background that hér beauty and ohatth demanded. I want everything for you, Marcella!" He broke off pathetically. "Dear, blind bat!" thought the young gil ruefully. "He can't read charactéf one jot. Warwick has 'buffed' him into believing he's the super<paragon." But it was terrible to see the harrassed look on the fine old face. It only she could care for Warwick, How easy would her father's life be- come! Dear, unworldly Daddy! What @ joy to help him, if she only could! There must be some way out. Miles Holden would advise her. Why, of course he loved her! She would trust him--absoliitely.

And Leonie was in Paris, while to-morrow night night she--Mar- colla--was dining with Miles, and everything would be cleared up. How 8illy she had been, how wrong, to doubt him for & moment! "Telegram for you, miss." A maid entered, with an envelope. "The boy - for an answer." Marcellas tore the flap open, and rend the message with a sickening sinking of the heart. She read it once, twice, thrice, and then sha spoke.

Paris! Paris of all places!, Paris and Leonie! In the lounges of the extlusive little French hotel, which was her "pled a terre" during buisness visits to the capital, sat Miss Leonie Day, toying with an after-luncheon cup of coffees, and 4t the same shrewdly examining éach and all of the other Buests, She was 4 smart young woman in more ways than one. "A graduate from the University of Hard Knocks!" she called her- self, with the dry humour she could occasfonally evince. That period of hér career was past, however. Prosperity had come knocking at her door. She had flung the door wide open to receive it, but its advent had not turned her head. For that clever, scheming, calcu- lating little head of hers was screw- ed firmly in the right\direction on her svélte young shoulders, Her reflections, as luxuriously she sat back in the contemplation of her 'Tellow-visitors, were of a pleasing kind. Paris from this angle was chanting. "Bién soighee," an "@éx- pensive marcelle in her hair, "the 'latest thing' in: hats drawn smartly down above sald marcélle, her sdil- low little face so artistically made- up that it bloomed as naturdlly is an English rose, and a gown that was "Just right" in' its quiet exelusive- ness setting off the lovely lines of hér figure, it was a vastly different Leonie from the Latin Quarter '"'gamine" of éight years ago! "And all due to my own bard work and cleverness!" thought she, complacently. Also --- though this thought did not shape itself so de- finitely--she was indebted for her "success fou' to a really subtle gif she had of flattering men. She could flattér women, too, adroitly. Becky Sharp; in "Vanity Fair" had a nearsival in Miss Leonie Day---in fact, the latter threptened to outstrip her. - where Thackeray's historic heroine aimed too high, her downfall being all the gréater, Miss Day's ambitions were ruled by commonsense. She had achieved, in a small way, & business triumph. The Maison Leonie in London was a little dream of a hat-shop, and her clientele both wealthy exclusive. Achilles and the rest ot Had one vulnerable spot, her passion for Miles Holden, if the fesling could be graced by such a term. It nearly got the better of her business instinct, almost com. pelling her to delay her buyingstrip, just for the pleasure of a talk with him. But the money-getting instinct had won out, and heroically she had gone to Parfs, leaving a little note behind to await his arrival in the English capital. Dear, handsome Miles! What a eredulous, charming boy he was! How gullible, and how quixotic! And totally without a business head! To borrow the three hundred from him wherewith to set herself up in her own little millinery establishment had been as essy as taking pennies out of a blind man's hat! And it wasn't that he'd suffered from 'embarrasts de riches.' He had en- & . comparatively poor. It flatiered Leonie to think he must have cared for her, although her natural acumen pointed to his carelessness in money-matters aad his generosity, as the root of the Transaction, Yes, she would marry him. And she would make him very happy. (To Be Continued.) VACATION SCHOGL AGAIN BEING HELD This Summer It Is at Syden=- ham School--Miss ©. Lovick Principal.
