Showas nlwaya doing out-of-the-way
things. Therefore , her frlomte were seldom
surprlseil at nny blzarro action attrlbulcJ to
her. Still , It must bo confessed that her
most Intimate was jiiot a trlflo nonpulsrJ
when she remarked :
"I am engaged to be married. "
"Dut you are married , my dear , " protested
her friend , mildly , knowing from experience
that a gcntlo protest was all that such a
human cyclone yclept Allco Vane would
tolerate. "
"Oh , that doesn't matter at all. "
"Oh , doesn't It7" voiced the protestor , who ,
had aho been questioned prior to this Inter
view , would have thought the marital tie
Quito an otistncio In the way of the engage
ment of ono of the parties so bound to an
other not In the contract , but as proof of
Alice's strangely hypnotic Influence over the
circle In which uho moved It must bo ad
mitted that the frlond was quite willing to
be convinced that a married woman could
with ease and no divorce- announce hep en
gagement with the sang frold of a widow
who has burled her fifth ,
"I know It Is unusual , " continued Allco ,
as she rocked slowly back and forth In the
moat comfortable chair In her friend's not
over comfortable drawing room , "but I never
did go In for routine , you know , and that Is
why I am afraid my marriage has been not
altogether a failure , but sort of disappoint
ing. "
"What did you expect , honeymooning all
the tlmo ? "
"Of course , I didn't. Don't ba ollly , Elsa ,
but I Hnd It horribly tiresome sitting oppo
site the same face 3C5 days In a year and
writing to the same man whenever the mo
notony of table is varied by my husband's
absence. "
"That Is , I presume , the reason why you
have taken to writing to other men , and to
sitting at luncheons and dinners opposite
other faces , " put In the candid friend with
a lingo of sarcasm In her voice.
"Exactly , and that Is why I am engaged
to be married to Jock Mills. "
"Engaged to be married ! Why , you arc
silly ! How can you bo ? "
"It Is all very simple and you needn't
pooh-pooh an Idea just because It comes as
a perfectly new factor In your old-fash
ioned curriculum. I have told Charlie that
I am tired of him and that I want to marry
Jack , and Charllo very sensibly accepted his
medicine , only stipulating that he and I
should live together during the period of
my engagement with the oth-er , so that In
case I got tired before the day set for our
marriage I could fall back on him and thus
avoid these embarrassing consequences that
often attend broken engagementa. "
"Ho said that , did he ? " queried Elsa.
"Well , my dear girl , ho Is guying you. "
"Guying me , I guess not. You ought to
have seen how serious he looked when I
came straight out wltn the bald truth. "
"One would hardly expect him to bo Joy
ous , would they ? "
"No , It wouldn't have been complimentary ,
yet I hardly looked for him to bo qulto so
passive In the matter. Well , good-bye , dear ;
remember It Isn't announced formally yet ,
so don't tell more than just the old girls until
I give you permission to go ahead. " And
with a llttlo butterfly kiss , a swish of silken
skirts and a faint , subtle fragrance of violets
lets In her wake , Alice passed out of the
avenue , there to bo Joined a few moments
later by handsome Jack Mills , who would
have ordered his man to pack up for the
Antipodes had ha known what the Infatuated
little woman at his side had told her husband
and"frlend as her Interpretation of the mur
mured compliments and empty words of
flattery which she had accepted as the true
offerings of affection from a manly , upright
and honest heart.
Whllo they strolled up the fashionable
promenade Elsa sat In the cramped quarters
for which she paid half her salary and which
by courtesy were called "Tho Orosvenor
Apartments , " and thought of the willful ,
foolish girl who had Just left her. "Silly ,
silly , " she murmured ! "Something must be
done and at once to set matters right or
there will bo such a tangle that even Alice's
proverbial good luck will desert her , " and
for fully a half hour she rocked slowly back
and forth In the chair but Just deserted by
her guest , her smooth , white brow wrinkled
Into llttlo lines of doubt and a troubled look
In the deep , serene eyes. Elsa was a real
friend a rare atom of womanhood who put
herself by In order to benefit those she loved.
Her workaday life as newspaper hack had
not warped her sunny nature , though It had
taught her the world , and this lesson , hard
as It had been , now showed her the awful
abyss Into which her dainty change-loving
friend was about to plunge. The twilight
deepened as she still Bat there In a brown
study and it was not until her one llttlo maid
of all work came In with the lamp that she
roused herself and began her preparations
for the evening with the subdued vigor
which the managing editor had learned by
experience presaged a good "story. "
"Well , llttlo girl , have you missed mo ? "
queried Jack Mills , as ho looked down at the
trim figure beside him.
"Missed you ? Of course I have. " smiled
Alice , "but. I am not going to spoil you by
tolling yovi how much , "
"And what have you been doing since I
went away ? "
"Oh , a lot of things , " and Allco smiled to
herself as aho thought of how among the
"lot of things" was the telling her husband
that she cured for the man In whoso com
pany she now was.
"Does Charlie suspect that you care for
mo ? "
"Ho doctn't suspect. He knona. "
"The devil ho does ! "
"Oh , yeJ , you needn't get excited about It.
I told him myself and ho took It quite
calmly. " Allco didn't explain In detail that
she had Informed her husband she meant to
marry Jack. "Some things are best kept
secret , " she added to herself.
"Well , all I can say Is that you have made
It Impossible for mo to sco you again and I
think It the silliest move I ever heard of , "
"Impossible to see me ? Not at all. Charllo
Insisted at once on Inviting you to dinner
next Thursday , and If you don't come ho will
think It very queer while I well , I will be
gin to bcllovo you haven't meant a word you
said all along , "
"Of course , Allco , I meant that you are
the dearest woman In the world , but hang
It all. It makes it douccdly awkward for
me to shako your husband's hand , sit at
his tnbln nnil talk to him as man to man
knowlnc that ho knows that I have been
maklnc love to his wife. Why couldn't
vou have let matters go on as they were ?
Lots of people In society similarly situated
have affairs running on for years and they
don't consider It necessary to blazon the
fact abroad In words they let actions do
the talking. " i
"Dut you know I never do as others do.
You said unconvcutlonallty was my great
charm In your eyes. If I were to receive
vour attentions Just as Mrs. Tom , Dick and
Harry do : our relations would degenerate
Into thn commonplace and I wouldn't like
you at all. I want my life In the future to
bo based on a different plane and I can't
sco what earthly difference It can make to
you If I honestly tell my husband that I
love some ono else , thus getting him ac
customed to the situation Instead of his
being consumed and annoyed by rumors and
suspicions that are the thorns In too many
married men's souls. "
"Ja she very wise or absolutely Idiotic ? "
thought Jack , at ) ho looked down at tier dur
ing tlila flow of to her convincing argument.
Hu had never meant his attentions to as
sume a serious attitude. Ho liked Charlie
Vans too well to run the risk of being cut off
from the many "good things" It was In hl
power to bestow upon his frlenda. Ho ad
mitted ho hadn't had any particular scruples
about making love to Vane's wlfo eo long
as the eplaode were kept Just between the
two most Interested parties ; but Alice , with
that careless disregard for consequences typ
ical of the way she hud encouraged him up
to the limit , had now made a pretty kettle of
( It'll by a sort of anti-climax. He couldn't
back out now. She had put It so plainly to
him that such a course would etamp him
cowardly In both her eyes and Van'e as well ,
.th t with a little cUlvery pull together , he
turned to her and said like ono about to take
some bitter medicine !
"Well , what do you expect mo to do ? "
"Do ? Why , nothing but fro on just as you
have been doing all thcso months only no
wo can act more openly sort of with the un
dorstnndlng that exists between engaged pee
pie , and that always makes others leave tlioi
alone together , and all that sort of tiling. "
"A very unique plan , " smiled Jack , wit
quiet cynicism. "I have never before bean
of Its being applied to any couple In our : | x >
slllon ; but I suppose If you nay so , It Is n'
right. " To himself ho thought , "There won
bo a bit of fun In making love to her when
Is all clear sailing. Hang It all , why did
over get Into such a mesa ! These unconvcn
tlonol women arc always doing some deuccdl :
awkward thing , and the trouble of It all I
they never slop to consider that they art
dragging someone else Into It , too. " Alouf
however , he wont on apparently unmoveil
"Will I see you tonight at the Cravens
dance ? "
"No , I am not going , but will expect yo1
tomorrow at dinner. It will bo qulto
family party Charllo , Elsa , you and I. A
revolt1. " And with a coquettish glance fron
under her long lashes she ran up the steps
of her pretty homo nnd her conventlona'
cavalier went on his way attended by semi
very gloomy thoughts.
"Too deuced much of a family party , " hi
murmured tu hlmsnlf. "I'll look like a nlc
chump sitting opposite her husband an
knowing that every word I say to her he wll
have a right to think Is ono of love me
have let women make asses of them bcfor
this , but for consummate donkeylsm , I Ink
the cake , " and he turned Into his club , from
whence , several hours later , ho emerged , n
his man aptly put It , when he was endeavor
ing to get off his boots , "In a beastly stati
of hlnebrlcty. " <
"My dear , I really think your cngngcmcn
dinner will bo n tremendous success , " said
Charllo Vane , as ho peeped Into his wlfo'i
dressing room the next evening prior to going
down to the drawing room , where lilsa wa
already awaiting her hostess , her position ol
family friend allowing her to arrive quit
early and naturally ahead of Jack , who , you
may bd sure , was not going to run the risk
of a mauvalse quart d'hcuro en tcto-a-tot
with his host. "The flowers ore particularly
lovely ; I chose them myself , and I ordered
Tompklns to bring out of the cellar those
special bottles of Margot wo were going t <
keep for our tenth anniversary. Of course
they will not be needed then , and I thoushi
as there would probably never again occur
a more festive occasion In our Joint career ,
that they might as well bo used up In bump
era to the health of the future Mrs. Jack
Mills. "
"How Bucet of you , " smiled Alice over her
shoulder , from her position In front of the
cheval glass , whore she was adjusting a
cluster of lilies of the valley amid the fluffy
chiffon of her decollotage , but somehow the
words lacked enthusiasm. "I honestly be
Hove he Is glad to get rid of me , " she thought
after ho had closed the door and the fioft
tread of his footsteps on tne polished stair
case announced that he had gone below
stairs. "How handsome ho looked , tonight
It Is funny I never noticed how really dis
tinguished ho Is In appearance. To be down
right honest. If ho weren't my husband , I
would think ho were handsomer than Jack ,
Oh , pshaw ! What a silly Idea. Dear Jack ,
how sweet of him to send me these lilies ,
Charlla has forgotten all about doing those
nice little things. I wonder when Jack and
I are married 1C he will forget , too. It will
bo rather amusing to compare the two ,
Charlie will bo lonely without me. I suppose ,
but then ho may marry again. Nonsense ,
Who would he marry ? Poor old chap , he
Isn't a marrying man. He ought uover to
have married mo. He Is too conventionally
prosaic , " and with this Jumble of thoughts
in her pretty brown head she tripped down
stairs to receive a sudden and unexpected
shock in the confusion of the couple upon
whom she burst unceremoniously. Elsa and
her husband with heads dangerously near
together were bending over a great mnlle."I
violets , which at a glance Alice could ECO
were the proper accompaniment for Elsa's
dead white gown. "How lovely of you to re
member that violets were my favorite
flower , " Elsa was saying , as Allco noiselessly
pushed the velvet portiere aside.
"How could I over forget anything that
concerned you ? " came Uie ardent response
from Charlie , as he looked Into her eyes In a
way men have when they mean more than
they say. This unusually gallant speech ,
coupled with the evident confusion her en
trance occasioned , caused Alice for a mo
ment to lost her own self-possession , and , if
the 'truth must be told , brought Into her
heart a sort of uncomfortable feeling that she
would have Indignantly repudiated as Jeal
ousy , yet which was more dangerously akin
to that sentiment than any she had ever ex
perienced heretofore. The lilies that Jack
had sent her somehow did not appear to be
ea fragrantly lovely ns the violets El a was
wearing , and the ompresso manner with
which He greeted her a moment afterword
affected her in a peculiarly unpleasant fashIon -
Ion , The quarter of an hour before dinner
was not altogether a cheery Interval. It
never Is. Dut on this occasion one member
of the quartet was undoubtedly distrait ,
and all Jack's whispered compliments which
formerly made her heart beat high were
quito lost on Allco , who , while appearing to
enjoy the unusual fesUflty , was listening
with stralnod cars to the low conversation
Indulged in by her husband and frlond.
Later at dinner '
Charlie's gayofy , his un
doubted llght-hcarteducss , his attention to
Elsa and his natural allusions to the "happy
pair , " mot with no enthusiastic response
from the pretty white-robed fiancee , who
toyed Idly with one course after another nnd
was so absolutely rude to Jack by the time
the rare old Margot was served , that for the
rest of the dinner "ho " paid Us attention to It
instead of to her , with the to-be-expected ic-
sult that when coffee and cordials appeared
ho was not altogether the debonair lover
whom she had thought It so lovely to ex
change for the prosaic husband , The latter ,
on the contrary , hud never been so brilliant
without being hilarious. Ho jested , he paid
courtly compliments to Elsa , ho rattled over
gay llttlo anecdotes In a fetching fashion.
Elsa and Jack repaying him by appreciative
laughter and repartee , the while Allro sat
glum and silent , a veritable little sad-eyed
ghost at the banquet. In fact he was a
model host , whose demeanor was In strong
contrast to that of the guest who had been
Invited to .tho engagement dinner with hla
wife , and Allcu llttlo by little , moment hy
moment , realized the mistake her own false .
Idea of life had led her into making , nnd
with prldo battling with tears for the mas
tery , she drank her chartreuse at one gulp ,
thn staid butler gazing In amazement at an
exhibition which heretofore had never been
noted In conjunction with all the dining and
wining that had gene on under this roof ,
Again In the drawing room Charllo pro
posed a little music , but Alice , who had here
tofore always been most ready to oblige ,
either by singing .or with a gay llttlo jlnglo
on the banjo , now offered a headache aa
her excuse for not complying with her hus-
band'x ' request , and tbu party broke up at
en unusually early hour , Jack undeniably
somnolent , while Charlie and Elsa wore In
dulging In a protracted farewell Interview ,
which Alice Innardly declared to bo "In
horribly bad form. " Poor llttlo woman , her
new engagement didn't seem qulto eo ro '
mantic to her as she dragged herself wear
ily to the violet-scented boudoir from which
Bho had descended In joyful mood earlier In
the evening , Her maid , noticing tha ab
straction of her mistress , was unusually so-
llcltou , but received only the shortest and
curteit replies from the white-robed girlish
figure seated In despondent attitude before
the long cheval glass ,
"Go , Annette ; I won't need you any more
tonight , " she said , when at last she was
wrapped In the becoming pink negligee that
even unobservant , prosaic Charllo had de
clared "fetching. "
Perhaps It was because her husband had
noticed it that she had told the maid to
wrap her in It , In preference to the violet
mo lying on the catln-drupcd bod. Perhaps
jlio was thinking of him at that very mo
ment , for It was with a very guilty start
that ebo replied "Come In" to Xhu familiar
rat-a-tat-tat that announced his coming to
lay "Good night. "
"Oh , Charlie , U that you ? " she began
jorv0u ly.
"Of course It Is did you take me ( or a
burglar ? you look us white as a ghoit. "
"I don't feel well , " with a wau little mnlle.
"I think the dinner was too hcAvy , nnd th
scent of the flowers too much. It wasn't A
very gay dinner , was lit" ihe added pa
thetically.
"Oh , didn't you find It so ? I never enJoyed -
Joyed ono more. The novelty of It , you
know , and then t never know before whal
capital company Elsa can be but t am for
getting. Knowing that tonight wo' were for
mally to renounce each other I made up my
mind that the dinner should not bo the only
thing to mark your engagement , BO I Just
ran down to a lawyer's and secured this
llttlo paper that t think will act as the very
best sedative to your nerves. " And xvlth
careless air , \\lilch chilled poor Allco to the
heart , lie tossed Into her lap a very legal
looking document , on which one word , as It
appeared to her In blacker Ink than nil the
rest , stood forth In cold , uncompromising
distinctness "Divorce , "
"Oh , Charlie , what Is It ? "
"Our separation paper our decree of di
vorce , " smiled her spouse grimly aa ho wan
dered about us though absorbed tn the fur
nlshlngs of the room. "Pretty picture that ,
very Ktenchy , where did you got 117"
"Divorce , " gasped Alice.
"Divorce , yes why , wasn't that what you
wnntod ? Vou know you can't marry Jack
without It unless I am dead , and as much
as I would Ilko to oblige you I can't promlso
to commit suicide It Is against my ro-
llglous principles , and besides I may wish
to enter Into some new arrangement my
self. "
"You don't mean to marry , " grasped poor
Alice , and now for the first tlmo realized
that to glvo up Charlie would bo very much
harder than she had anticipated.
"Well , why not ? " a nil led her husband ;
"you know that old Dourgcols Raying ,
'fUuro for the KOOSC. etc. ' "
"Hut don't you care for mo any longer ? "
"Don'ti ask mo , Alice. You know I am a
man of honor , and you are another's af
fianced wife. Do not tempt mo to forget
that. "
"Dut I am not. " I
"Dut you are. "
"I am your wife ; I don't want to bo anyone
ono clso's. I have made a mistake and
oh Charlie , don't love Elsa. I will try so
hard to bo as bright an she Is. Try mo
again , won't you ? " and the wistful voice
broke as two pretty hands were held out
pleadingly to him.
"Allco. do you mean this It Is very con
ventional , you know , " said Charlie , In a
volco ho tried hard to keep serious.
"With all my heart ; try mo and you will
see. " sobbed Allco , and a moment after a
very everyday sort of a woman was en
sconced ou her husband's lap , happier In
that prossalc position that she had ever
been In any fancied romantic situation of
her butterfly existence.
It was not until the wedding cards of
Jack and Elsa were out that Allco dis
covered that divorces nro not bought like
bonbons , and that the paper , like Jack's
Inebriety , had nil been n part of a schema
concocted by her husband and friends to
bring her to her senses.
