She has decided that their play-acting may as well end now as later. At a dance with Brynmor, her sweetheart cf last summer, she is ill at case. Thoughts of Tony still haunt her. Brynmor, delighted that Mary Lou's romance with Tony is ended, asks her to marry him. She almost laughs at him at first, but on sccond theugh it appeals to her as a sengible solution ¢o her un- happiness. She accepts his pro- posal in desperation. Tony appears at the dance alone, and sits down with them. When Brynmor announces his engage- ment to Mary Lou, Tony ac- cepts the mew airily, and asks Mary Lou to dance with him again. Sceretly he regrets that che has slipped from him.

Hadn't he said that he intended to marry no one? Why should he object if she chose to marry scme one else, even though che wasn't particularly enthusiastic about it? “Well, this is what I hoped would happen,” he continued sarcastically. “I hope you'll be happy with this chap. Come along back to the table. I'm going to drink champagne to your health.” “I—I can't,” she stammered. “Oh, please—please cxcuse me & mo- ment. Tell Brynmor T'll be back.” She fled from his arms and 4nto the cloak room. “My coat, quick,” she commanded the woman. “And have you a pencil and paper?” The woman brought them. “So sorry, Brynmor,” she course.” Mary Lou’s “That was only serib- bled feverishly. “T feel ill.

When Mary Lou did not reappeat after a few minutes, as she had promised, both Brynmor and Tony | became concerned with her unex- | plained absence. Later, when the bell boy delivered Mary Lou's note to Brynmor, he was completely up- “I can’i understand ii,” he told | Tony, who gave a nonchalant shrug and muttered something about the futility of trying to find reasons for a girl's conduct.

Tony was shaken rudely from his lumbers about nine o'clock the next | morning. He strongly despised any | suggestion of rising before noon. | “Look here, Wallis, this is a bit | thick,” he muttered from his pil- |low. “You're discharged, do you | hear?” “This is not Wallis,” said a gruff volice in his car. “This is your Aunt Ethelberta.” “Jumping Jehosaphat!” Tony tellect.

Tony shook a finger at her and winked. “Tact, dear aunt, tact.

That's why I've come to try to knock some sense into your brainless young head. |Thts is utter nonsense. You'll see Mary Lou at once, apologize for whatever you've done to her, and {make up.” | Tony sighed. “It’s no use, aunt. There's anoth- jer man.

His name is Brynmor Whit- tamore. He's handsome, Welsh and —the most utter ass I've ever met in my life,” he ended with a trace of malice. “That's more like it,” Miss Tith- to say youre going to sit there calmly . . .

Tony clapped his hands together enthusiastically. “Splendid, aunt! That's the stuff which brings down the curtain with a final wallop. Why don't you try your hand at writing for the talk- les?” Miss Titherington was non-pluss- |ed. “I refuse to stay here and argue with you.” “I wasn't arguing” Tony said meekly. “I was only advising you how to make the best use of your undeniable talents.” “Well,” she remarked, “I have something to say on that subject. From now on you don't get a penny from me, so it'll be a good oppor- |tunity for you to make good use of your undeniable talents and find yourself a job!" Heedless of Tony's protests, she stalked out of the room and left him staring after her. “Well, that cooked it,” he re- marked philosophically to himself. That absolutely cooked it.

His man’s well bred astonishment was allayed with the news that he had business at hand. Half an hecur later this same busi- ness brought him to Jay's shop. Outside the window he hesitated. Now that he was here what could he say to her? Rather abruptly he turned toward the door . 3 Once more he paused. There, on the side of the entrance, he saw a neat printed card: “Smart Delivery {Boy Wanted." Theughtfully he detached the card from the wall, pocketed it and went into the shop.
