(lit had often told Beau II "actually mad her own heart ten to see bar Irving tuch a lonely life. She. therefor, considered It a delight ful coincidence that the widow and (he widower should appear at her llttla after noon "at home" at the tame time.

Utrtlm he had dona eo only very od raalonally with her, and alwaya. under vigorous and strongly ezpreeeed protest wrfcili fiMMmM ha hraueht tear to her ayes. While ha looked tat Beatrice aha aeted especially hi flashing trail aad fine, regular teeth, and remembered that . Toea'a amata had always bn homely, aad that his teeth had been dull Irregular. That waa why she had urged feln to wear a mustache, which, of course, be declined to do. But It was only her unconscious mind that recalled these facta, tor she waa chatting meanwhile with her new acquaintance and with her hostess. " , . . . v .. . Then severe! other people cams In and the pair drifted to different parts of the room. Nor did they meet again inttll Robert sought out Beatrice to bid her good-bye.' " ' j' " It had beea pleasure ta swat you." he said. "I have been very lonely, and I feel grateful to our dear hostess for Inviting me to dine' here with you nest week.

In fact, ha contlderad It omewhat of aa Imperti nence. Of coarse. Mr. Marry could not know this, bat she would tell Helta what ho thought of It- Mt wad not delicate, (he thought, and she wondered if the man In question did not suspect what Helen was about, and If ha thought that ska. a wktow at entr ' two years, was party to the plan. Even though aha had decided la her inward aoul that If she over met a man who was worth while she might marry again, that Waa her sera affair; km for soot her woman to think such a thing of her, and to go so far as to show that ehs was thiaklng It. waa most Indelicate. She was roused from her reflection by the voice of her hostess, saying: yl course, yoa know that poor Boh Mercy ta a widower, and baa gone no where for months. That Is why you have at heard ma speak of hint-a he has kept hlhwelf shut away from an his former aeseelatea. I was very glad to sea him Hera today aad o notice how bright and cheerful ho was when ha was talking to yoa. Tea, he hac beea sad ad lonely, for he waa ewe or the aiea Who lovo their wives devotedly. 1 al amy say such men make the boat feiav bands to their second wives." "What has all this to da wtth wis, Helen." she asked with saperfiy. '1 did wet haoir that Robert Mercy was a widower, nor do I cere whether be ta or tot. only I should tfeiak - he might be silo wed to taut ' ta a aromaa without anybody thinking that ho la planning to marry again. Perhaps bo may find same gul.wtrh so tittle eeeee that aha stay ha satisfied with him. I, for my part, caaaot comprehend how any one who has beea happily wedded oooe would ever nuke a second attempt. But wid owers are different from widows motet the pity! But I do net consider It In good sate for Mr. Mercy's acquaintances to plan for hie second marriage. Toa were his wife's friend, weren't yes?" Helea widened her pretty hi us eye la unaffected astonishment at her guest' wobemenca. "Why. dear." she said, "what la the utter?
