BY HARRIET HENRY Syncpeis: Strategy is the weapon that Venice Muir scizes in a lapse of determina- tion to win popularity for her- self. Unhappy experiences as a social faflure in New York have led her to Paris in the hope of learning the art of be- ing attractive. She knows that she has a reputation for dull- ness. But she intends fo man- ufacture abroad an imaginary and intriguing past, and go back heme on a wave of “disappro- val” and success. She meets Guy Bryson, a cultured Ameri- can who is in Paris without meney, and arranges with him to be an untechnical gigilo. Guy knows the places and per- sons in Paris that Venice needs for color in her future stories of a European tour of con- quest.

She also meets a Mrs. Coates, of social prominence, who invites her to dinner. Chapter 21 THE CHESHIRE CAT TALKS It was dining et Larue's before Mrs. Coates’ party that Venice tasted her first American triumph, Sitting at a neighboring table in a party of six was Donny Reede whom she had met at Lola’s. He was one of the young men who had been hopelessly encumbered with her for a long dance. She caught his eye and smiled, then turned with affected animation to Guy. “What, ho?” he queried. “One moment you're deep in thought, at the next you address me with most unaccustomed enthusiasm.” Venice laughed. There's a man over there I knew in New York, I wanted to show him what a gay creature I am nowadays.” Guy leaned across the table and patted her hand. “There,” he said. “That will give him food for thought.” “You are sweet, Guy. And I don't have to make an impression on you.” They didn't matier to each other. Two friendly allies trying to win a game together. If they never saw each other agaim it wouldn't make any difference to either, “Oh, he's coming over here. Hello, Donny. Do you remember me?” “Certainly. dy.” “How-do-you-do, Mr. Bryson. I didn't know you were in [Paris, ‘Venice.” “Yes. Drifting about. Won't you sit down.” “I can't, thanks. The crepes Suzette aré just about to appear |at my table.” “Can't I rival the crepes Bu- she managed and sum- | moned a bright smile to accom- pany her query. “You can,” said Donny. “But I'm afraid my host and hostess wouldn't eppreclate it.” Lola’s pal and bud- | 4 The Gift of Charming Sentiment We have an unusually fine supply of Christmas plants this year, including POINSETTIAS.

Mrs. Coates lived in @ handsome white stone house on the Champs Elysee. There were about a dozen people at her -party. Venice soon became separated from Guy and found herself shy and silent as of old. She sat on a formal Louis Quinze sofa san- wiched between a brittle, young English divorcee and an elderly American. The divorcee spoke crisply of her first husband one moment, her third the next and of Raymond, whoever and wherever he might be. Venice smiled ather sallier and wondered what she should interpolate. She could think of nothing suitable, so she contin- ued to smile. T must look like the Cheshire cat, she reflected uncom- fortably. “There’s someone I must speak to,” Venice said. She had decided to repair to the room where she had left her wrap. Starting to- wards the door she collided with a young man just entering. Tt was the Marquis Rene de Thenardier. “Ah, Miss Muir! But you are not leaving?” She smiled with genuine pleas- ure. “Of course mnot, Marquis.” “Come and sit with me.” He led her to an oriel window and they made themselves com- fortable on the wide velvet seaf. “Are you an old friend of Mrs. Coates?” he asked. “No. Guy and I met her that evening at Cirp's when we met you.” “You and Guy—you love him?” “Oh, no. . We—we're old friends.” “You Americans! I cannot ynder- stand it. A pretty gir], a handsome young man. They are inseparahble. ‘They do not love. They are old friends. How can it be natural?” “A man, a girl. They go about together. They must be in love,” Venice retorted. “Mais oui. Certainement.” “It's no use. Anglo-Saxon and Latin morals will never tally, Mar- quis.” “My name is Rene. And yours, Miss Muir?” “Venice.” \ “Venice! Ah, beautiful. That city of velvet canals and drifting gon- dolas.” “Will you and your Guy come to a little party of mine next Tues- day?” he asked. “He's not my Guy but we'd love to come. Here he is now.” “Hello, Rene. You #&nd Venice seem to be doing nicely together.” “What is ‘doing nicely'?” Guy squeezed in beside Venice on the window seat. “Progressing,” he suggested. “I am, ’'said Rene, “but Venice she is not.” “How do you kfow?” ‘Venice. “Ah, the heart tells.” “Oh, dear,” sighed Venice, 1 don’'t know how to play battledore | and shuttlecock with these French- asked “Tll tell you,” said Rene. “You bet he will,” laughed Guy. “You'll give me my first lesson Tuesday, Rene. He's asked us to a party, Guy.” ‘“Fine. Rene's parties are always excellent.” g “Thank you Guy. And now I suppose I must pay attention to| our hostess.” With his charming! bow he was gone. Venice gave a small, relieved “I've had an awful time,” she| confessed. “Even a new background | doesn’t seen to stimulate me. ‘I was | simply tongue-tied sittihg on that | sofa over there with an American and an English divorcee who kept talking about three different Hus- bands and some one named Ray- mond.” “Oh, Lita Chase. ymond’s to be the fourth. She's to tie any one’s tengue. Well, let's go.” In the gaps betwéen her engage- ments with Guy, Venice knew a gnawing boredom and lonliness. A letter from Nolly received the day before Rene de Thenardier’s party upset her miserably. ~ “June 1ith. “Dearest Venice: “I'm not going to say much about Aunt Trudy except thet I've cried until my eyes are red and am thinking of you. Words are so silly at such a time, but pretend I'm squeezing your hand with sym- pathy. “I'm going to be operated- on within next few weeks. Sup- pose T walk and gad about | like and have beatux and see| new places! I do hope poor Pongo won't be angry with me for trying to get rid of him. But, oh, Venice, suppose I should die? I haven't mentioned it to rhother or father or Ernest but I'm terrified. 1I've never been able to imagine what _ comes alierwards and I like it here g with the warm sunshine and new bodks coming out all the time and hurdy-gurdies ni the stréets and turkey at Christmas and Thanks- giving. “Your loving, “NOLLY.” Venice was frighténed too. “Cood luck. It will be splendid. Let ‘me know results as soon as possible. Love. Venice. Her telephone. “Hello, Veriice.” “Lolal Tt can't Be you?” “It certainly is, darling. Jerry and I are on our honeymoon.” “I. can't believe it.” Venice said. “It’s trie, old dear, But Venice, I'm so sorry about your mother. You poor thing. ” The tone held superficial sympathy of some one too happy to understand grief. “I'm enjoying myself,” Venice said, guardedly. “Mither didn’t want me to mourn and not go about.” “I am glad. Jerry’s an angel. Try matrimony, Venice. It's the most delicious vice.” This hurt. Lola knew very well that Venice had no one who want- ed to marry her. “We want you to have dinner with us,” Lola said, “I have an engagement,” Venice | “Won't you dine| said brightly. with us?” “Mon Dieu,” cried Lola, “you're losing all your old inhijbitions or whatever, they are. That'd be splendid. Where shall we meet?” “What about the Tour d'Argent?” “Fing. At eight.” “Yes, Until then. Bye, Lola.” Venioe put down . the receiver. She bit her lp nervously. Lola seemed suddenly the New York iffed that had pitled her.| M Iy’ she shook herself and called the number of ‘Guy's pension | on left bank. He | was not there, What should she do? How ap- palling. Venloe must establish her ney chafacter with Lola. How does she solve the problem, to- morrow? ——————— ATTENTION EASTERN STARS Jimeau Chapter No. 7, O.
