And when she saw the circlet of dia- monds on her wedding finger and when a man who called her Frills Caine to bid her an affectionate good- bye before leaving home for a hurried business trip, warning her to be cereal after her fell f+'m her horse the day before, she was even more' ,puzzled. The jecrgeous home that was ev.'dent'y her home, the faint brown stains on her fingers—she had never emoked :and the initials on her toilet orti••les, F T..P.. added to her 1'cwilderment.

In her bedroom again, she discov- ered that one of the mirrors beside the dressing table formed the panel of a door. "This," murmured Joyce, turning the glass handle and looking into the next room, "must be my boudoir! Ah, there's a desk at last.
