In that moment Serge felt a little sorry for her. “You’re mad, Serge!” She tried to I make her voice natural, but her It was the old throat ielt dry and uncomfortable She’d never have been fas though she were being choked by a tight collar. .The response Serge got was con trary to his expectations. He only made the casual remark to anger Karen. A thought flashed through his mind; She’s fallen in love with the wrong man, that was a certainty Serge prided himself on an almost womanly intuition about such things It had stood him in good, stead, that intuition, in times past, Now, -per haps, all his worries were over. If he could get money without marry ing this “American wildcat” as he called her in (irivate, everything would be perfect. As Serge’s thoughts tucked like lightning over that interesting .pros pect of no more financial worry, Karen .fought for composure. Serge’s remark had come like a thundeibolt. Karen refused to ad mit he was right. But she wanted him to go. sight of him. “Go away.” ] was level and quiet. “I’m you.” Serge smiled discreetly bowed over her hand. He leave formally and without confus ion. “Certainly not!” “You don’t appreciate him!" “What about poor Bing?” Karen replied. “You’ll never marry him; mother won’t let you!” Karen stiffened, challenge, engaged to Ping in the first place if there had not been all that parental objection.

Member of The Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association Karen turned on the Prince. “Serge, let’s stop all this nonsense.” Ping interposed: “Karen, first let me ask you’ something, were you running away with Serge when that orack-up happened?” /He put his hand on Karen’s shoul ders and tried to make her face him “You lied to me, Karen, didn’t you? “Yes, Ping, I did. I lied, be cause I wanted to save your feelings. I’d done enough damage That’s all, Ping!” He turned away from denly and walked toward “I’m going,, Karen. I’m not making any rash statements now. But I wanted to think this other. You see it’s getting so I can’t trust you.” .Serge, watching, tried to hide his light of triumph in his eyes. It was all happening as he had planned. Karen tried to speak. The hurt in Ping’s eyes was deep and she was sorry. But there was so little she could say. Ping started for the door. Karen ran after him but he picked up his hat and coat and continued on his way. She caught him at the door. “Ping this is childish!' Serge is just a cad. He wants you to do just as you are doing.” Ping looked down at Karen, un convinced. “But you told me an out-and-out lie, Karen. What am 1 to believe?” already.

You are not. you go, I go! expect you to can’t?” Soon Lucy Karen scratched face, drawin, bath, generally coddling and petting her. So wrought up was the girl that she wept for an hour, and Lucy was busy putting cologne packs on her eyes.. The phone rang for Karen several times, but she refused to answer it. When her father came home, he came directly to her room. She looked up at him fearfully, then put both arms about his neck. “You are a darling,” she sobbed, “not to be too angry with me.” He held her off from him. “Karen this whole thing is serious. You realize that?” “Of course, Dad, but I want to do what is right. I’m through with all this sills* stuff, Father. I’m ser ious about that.” He looked down into his clear brown eyes and smoothed her hair back from .her face. “You don’t think I I do.” Mallory shook his driving, .proud, he had suffered much from Jay’s carryings-on, his divorces and from the Countess de ene’s matrimonial troubles. He loved his daughter so he had been determined to her. And he had failed completely. “Karen, I was foolish to be so severe with you,” he began. “But I’m so afraid for you.” “You needn’t be. That’s all over,” she said. .Mallory looked alarmed. “Answer me this, Stoddard’s at the bottom of all this ‘generous stuff’ isn’t he?” Mallory’s keen eyes bored into her brown ones, so like her “No, Father.” ‘That isn’t the “It is, Father, Judge.

Karen's 'cheeks flushed suddenly as her father mentioned Serge. For the memory of Serge’s accusation of the afternoon still upset her. Her father, misunderstanding, sighed. “I just want you to be happy Karen.” His voice “Do you want this “Heavens, no!” But Mallory did lieve her.
