"@plendid! Keep it up, Could you: get on to Corrie next time? .Bgrt’he oo cb ie iess ts hang on to itâ€"it‘s all>right!" At the end of the secondâ€"act. they drifted together again. Peggy attached herself to Corrie. It was more difficult than she had imagined it would be. ground. _A cloud of ~â€" surneâ€"JOones melancholy surrounded the ‘handsome black nhead.. Peggy was wondering how to get at her, and talking desultorily about the modernist decorative scheme of the theatre, when Corrie asked sudâ€" denly : "Where are you staying?" , "At the Malbro, Ross Place," . said Here there seemed less molipo',t}gn to vâ€"â€" badt sA 6 d eyes. “Lucky you! There‘s a most exâ€" clusive exhibition of modern miniatures on there one day next weekâ€"Tuesday,. I believe." "Come and see them," invited Peggy promptly. "Have tea with â€" me and we‘l have a look at them together. Maybe you‘re well up in mmiatureS' iund I‘m afraid I‘m not, I think they‘re cute, but I know nothing whout them." "Thanks,‘ said Corrle with a slight animation lighting her very still face. "I‘d like to. They‘re one of the things t.erest alert and sudden, lit the umbke » _ onl y lt o ie I‘m really keen on.

You‘ll want my numberâ€"â€"" _"I have your grandmother‘s card:. I guess that‘s all right?" Corrie, smiling, guessed it was. It had been, after all, very eAéy,â€" 88 why should it not? She was consigered a highly desirable acquaintance by most people, and why should these see any vvv"-â€" Ee e o more in her than what she seemed? One courted, not avoided, rich American womenâ€"even if"one was widely courted oneself. It was going to be all right. The most gracefully casual friendship would serve their purpose, no more than a woman like Corrie gave to hundreds LA 1. Eo Oe O Et e Peggy was satisfied with her evening, and more than satisfied with its proâ€" mises for the future. Ghe was only anxious now to get away from the Cowles, and have a few words in privacy with Peter. She was glad when the third act began and they took leave of each other with mutual and cool: comâ€" pliments, and went back to: their seats. 4 t o e o hy D. ’l.o“.w.vâ€", t CC Sm t She did: not, however, introduce the subject on which both im tnbughts and hers were busy, unti‘ they had..with7 drawn themselves Anally from. the midâ€" night crowd in the exclusive littleâ€"resâ€" taurant he found for her, and were sit« ting shoulder to shoulder in taxi on the way home. Then she said casually for even taxiâ€"drivers have ears: "Will you come in and have a drink before S 0A "xils you go ‘heme, Peter? I‘ve got thing I want to discuss with you." Peter came.

"It "isn‘t a doubt, by chance?" _ "No, I‘m more certain than ever I was. No, it‘s just an idea. She curled her painted fingerâ€"tips round the stem of her glass, and looked at him with the straight look she kept for him, since it went so badly with the rest of the personality of Eleanor Vandeleur.

You shall have them ready for Tuesday afternoon." WRONG CIGARETTE CASE Corrie Cowle came into the Malbro on the following Tuesday afterncoon in the region of halfâ€"past three, and found Miss Vandeleur waiting for her in a corner of the loynge. She looked round her with her usual slow, languid and graceful indifference, and found the pale blonde coils of hair, and advanced upon them with an unmoved face. Not an effusive woman. Even her smile was cool and alcof. And as for het thoughts, no one could be expected to make even a reasonably accurate guess at them. Actually, reflected Peggy, rising to meet her, her motives for coming there were probably as shallow and rational as the halfâ€"curlosity which moves idle women to draw from one another tales they do not believe, nor particularly want to hear. She had an afternoon to while away, without any particular spur, or any attractive programme. Fleanor was someone new and unexâ€" plored, and at any rate not distasteful and she rather wanted to see the miniâ€" "I gon‘t swear anything of the kind," never doubted it. ‘Corrie had an artisâ€" located differently; though by all acâ€" counts. Lady Cowle was the universal woman, as opposed to the Renaissance universal man. ° perhaps still more secure in Sylvia‘s smartest afternoon frock, a creation in luminous dark green which made her blondeness ceerie, met her with the brazen aplomb she had come to expect t herself. "Miss Cowle! ‘This is nice! Would you prefer tea in my rooms, or here? Or there‘s a quiet little lounge upstairs with a balcony over the parkâ€"â€"" "The park, please. Maybe we can get a little fresh air there; I‘ve been hunting for some all day. I don‘t believe there‘s any in London." But she looked cool as frozen silk. They had tea in the balcony, in a corner three sides open to what little breeze there was moving in the still, hot air. â€"It was beautifully private there; no one was within earshot, and no one even closely within sight, for the balâ€" cony ran a little way round the corner of the building and their table was m the quiet corner. They talked painting, and came to the modern miniatures by a procéss of elimination. Pegsy had already exâ€" amined them, and was more than willâ€" ing to admit that she awaited the judgâ€" ment of Corrie upon them. She had read up the subject with some anxiety, for it was not one of her strong points; but a little specialist jargon, learned up for the occasion, went a long way with some success. She had not had time to forget any of the catechâ€"words. e Peggy sat upon a wicker settee, with various possessions artfully scattered round her, gloves, handbag, a green chiffon scarf which Lilias had taught her to wind into a turban round her hair. It served the double purpose of looking picturesque and protecting the blonde wig from stray breezes. Now she hunted vaguely and languid= ly among all this litter of seented trifles fumbled in her bag, and produced cigaretteâ€"case. She was talking rapidâ€" ly as she opened it and held it out to Corrie. The tapered fingerâ€"tips. were a}most touching the cigarettes.: when . â€" Peggy glanced down as if by instinct, and her sentence snapped off in the midee, and her lovély mouth fell slack for one appelled and appalling second, as if she had found herself handling dynamite, She snatched back the case, but Corrie‘s fingers had already touched it, and the withdrawal sent the case clattering upon the tray between them, and the cigarettes flying among the cups. "I‘m sorry," said Peggy, her hand artistically shaking, her eyes wide and blank, and her voite stumbling. and sticking upon the cadence of the second word in a lilt more American than ever. \ "Iâ€"I picked up the wrong caseâ€"l meant to offer you Turkishâ€"â€"‘" She began to pick up the few. sca'oter- ed cigarettes; there were only six of them, but her fingers made such a busiâ€"< ness of it that Corrie had gathered up two of them, and was carefully levelling them side by side in the palm of her. hand, by the time Peggy had thfi Fres: maining four in the case. Peggy breathâ€" ed quickly and shallowly; she wished there could have been an infallible reâ€" cipe for going white on request, but it seemed possible to her, from the alter» nate chilling and burning of her cheeks, that she was, by sheer force of acting, doing something equally effective. She really did feel a little faint, for the‘ pinch came . If Corrie susâ€" pected a deliberate trick, her game was up. She hurried on: "I always carry two casesâ€"It was crazy of me! I can‘t think what made me pick up that case, They‘re nothing likeâ€"not in the leastâ€" Queer, the tricks your mind plays you when it‘s running on two things at a time, isn‘t it? Iâ€"have the Turkish hereeâ€"â€"*" "YOU HAVEN‘T ANY RESERVES?" She hovered, poising the one case,‘ waiting to receive the last contributiong: to the other. She was afraid she nad overdone it. Corrie was very quiet, looking placidly at the two cigarettes in her hand. Presently she said, her voice very low and soft in the silence: "But I should say these are excellent! Do you keep them for your own use?" And she lifted them deliberately, and inhaled the heavy scent of them, and her dark eyes lifted to Peggy‘s fece. Peggey took a hold on herself. Eleanor would beâ€"if she existedâ€"â€"a woman of some philosophy, and selfâ€"control; thai spurt of nerves would do no harm, conâ€" sidering that the idea was to convince Corrie that she had to do with a drugâ€" addict; but here began the case for a calm front. She sat back, and met and held the steady eyes, a slight smile in her own. mealldwithashmg her glance never wavering: "Not many people care for them, I find. Not in this country. : So I seldom offer them." _ "And what are they?" asked COrrle still in that intimate voice. They‘re Panish American tobaceo." Peggy, secure in her daily makeâ€"up at Jane! What am I going to do without her? How shall I ;get the sparkle, when these six little whifis are gone?" Corrie looked at her steadfastly. A new interest had come into her glance, and a new speculation. She looked like a clever and keen saleslady waiting her chance; even her thin but lovely feaâ€" tures had sharpened into a hungry look On Sunday afternoon, at two o‘clock, funeral services were held at the Church of Nativity for the late Mrs. Nellie Suslow, wife of Mr. Leon Ssuslow. The late Mrs. Suslow died at St. Mary‘s Hospital on Friday, September 15th. ['Service was conducted ‘by the Rev. Fr.
