"I would rather have you as you are." "May is generally ackuowledged es plain" - "I wasn't comparing you with her. It would be absurd." "Would it?" smiled Hermione. And I am not yet proof against Hermione'a smiles. 8o in sport 1 suggested some- tbiug to ber which had occurred to me - just a a joke; anf'totbiag more. Tbat she would act on it I never dreamed of for a moment. Yet Hermione still de- clares all that followed was entirely my fault, and that but for me she would not have to suffer the prolonged igno- miny of being the only girl out of seven married couaina unable to boast a disc, mond tiara among her possessions. We bad several engagements the week of the duchess' reception, but that was the first and era very gemattily ooneideeed the most important. I also happened to be very busy just then. I rather expected a bad quarter of an hour when I told Hermione how abso- lutely Ttnposeible it would be for me to do more than jnet look in at quite a late hour, but, as is often the case where she is concerned, my anticipations were Doi fulfilled. She smiled at me very sweetly, said she could find plenty of people to go with and that I need not worry on her account, and I fancied I detected signs of relief in ber ezpreeeion, whfob may hove been the reason why I made my way to the reoeptiodrather earlier than I originally intended. The duchess who was giving it had scattered her invitations broadcast, as is within the righta of a duchess. The. spacious rooms were extremely crowd ed. It was some time before I caught eight of my wife, but not long before 1 heard of her, for Mrs Jack Voyoe-- Voyoe is my name -appeared to be cre- ating quite au unusual .enation even for her. "And have you seen pretty Mre. Voyoe?" "And have you heard her tale of the tiara?" "What fun ehe is, isn't she?" teemed the principal topic of con- versation. More than one man patted me on the back and congratulated me anew. I felt myself, generally ',peaking, quite an lucky as they thought me, for I admire her, too, but 1 onold not help wonder- ing how they would have lihed partici- pating In my present anxiety on her be- half.
