Manifestly it was absurd of her to
become excited now over a matter
that up to this point she had been able
to handle so reasonably, It was
scarcely loyal to Monte., He had in
right to expect her to be more sensi-
ble•
He had put it well last night when
be had xetnarked that for her to go to
a chapel to be merriest was no more
serious than to go to an embassy for
a passport. Sho was merely to
share with him the freedom that was
his as a birthright of his sex, In
no other respect whatever was she
to be under any obligations te! him,
With ample means of her own, he was
simply giving her tin opportunity to
enjoy them unmolested—a 'privilege
which the world denied her as long as
she remained unmarried. . In no way
was he to be responsible for her . or
to her. He understood this fully and
it was exactly what he himself desk -
ed.

laTherefore it 'seemed scarcely decent
for Marie to speak of her as a bride.
Perhaps that accounted for the color.
No sentiment was involved inhere,
This was what made the arrange-
ment possible. Sentiment involved car-
ing; and, as Monte had once said, "It's
caringithat, seemrto make trouble."
Tltat was tete trouble with the'War
rens. How she cared=from morn-
ing till night, with her whole heart
and soul in a flutter—for Chic and

Marjory supposed, Teddy cared. This
was the one thing that made him so
impossible. In another 'tvay, -'Peter
