No doubt some women would love such devotion, but she found it irritating. He ought to have married a woman like Pauline. Barbara spent the morning at her dressmaker’s. Madame Celeste had some new creations freshly arrived from Paris that morning, so she un­ truthfully said. 'S,he showed Bar­ bara all her most expensive and ex­ otic models, but Barbara would have none of them. “I am going to change my style,” she said coolly. “Show me some­ thing simple—black or white— nothing Oriental.” But, madame—” Celeste was the picture of grief-stricken amazement. Barbara cut her short. “You heard what I said—some­ thing simnle in black or white. If you haven’t got anything I can go elsewhere.” “I suppose I’m mad—utterly mad she told herself as she drove away. “But it’s nice to be different some­ times—it’s as good as a holiday,” and she thought again of Dennis. If they could have spent a holiday together! For a moment she let her imagination have full play. She and Dennis* down by the sea, walking hand in hand along golden sands with the fresh breeze blowing in their faces. They would be young together, with everything else in the world forgotten. -She wrenched her wandering thoughts back to sanity. Dennis did not. love her and, even if he did, how soon would they grow weary of each other? No, no, it was far better as it was. Pauline was the wife for him.
