A marquis com- mits suicide, reputedly bccause of her. She hepes this report will intrigue Reland Wainwright, who ence snubbed her. Chapter 31 INSULTS AND ENVY Venice sat in the beautiful wainscoated dining room as she had some months earlier, but this time Roland Wainwright was on her left and Philip Manning onher right. She felt too shy of Roland Wainwright to devote herself to him and her pleasantness towards the host piqued that dazzling young man as no clever badinag: could have done. “You and Bettina were at South- ampton all summer, weren't you?" smiled Venice. “Yes,” said Philip Manning. “Jol- 1y hole.” ‘“Comfortable,” Venice managed. She was conclous of Roland Wain- wright's serutiny and words eluded her. She would never give him another chance to feel that she was unduly interested in him. "“You had a gorgeous summer,” “l didn’t know You could tease,” Rollosaid, 5 “No?" Philip said. “Paris and the South and young men in love with you all over the place.” “You exaggerate, kind sir.” “Methinks not. Lola came back with glowing accounts of you and your Marquis and a devoted Amer- ican she heard about.” “Lola is a human Town Topics on two feet.” Here a sombre girl on Philip Manning's right said something to him and Venice was forced to. turn her gaze to meet the sparkling sapphire eyes of Roland Wain- wright. “You purposely avoid me,” he complained with mock grief. “Why should I?” “That's what I'd like to know.” “Let’s analyze it” Venice had meant this seriously. She felt gravely towards that insolent kiss it with a laugh. “I didn’t know you could tease,” he said. “No?” Her stupid monosyllables from rumors. “Your's deep, Venice Muir.” “Not really,” she said. More || simplicity that was misunderstood. At this party of the Mannings ‘| Venice was not one of those who gratefully slid into a game of con- . |tract after dinner.

You think quite a lot, don't you?” “Yes.” “Why?"” “There’s so much to think about.” “Waste of time, Venice. It never gets you anywhere.” | “Did you ever try it?” | He was beginning to be fascin- ated by the frank little insults she shot forth. He laughed and sud- denly took hold of her hand. Venice was just about to draw hers away when she remembered that hand-holding was probably an hors d'oeuvre in the meal of in- trigue. She let it remain.
