Venice has planted a rumor of adventures abroad, and is reported respon- sible for a marquls’ suicide. She especially hopes to. attract Drake Farrelly, and repay Roland Wainwright for an anmcient in- sult. Chapter 32 PENNY THRILLS “I simply can’t understand you these days, darling,” Lola said. “Do you remember how hard I used to work on your prospects?” “Yes,” said Venice. “The cocoon is metamorphosing.. Is that the| word?” “It’s a swell word, whether it's| the right one or not. Wait'll I tell Jerry. He informed me the other | day that your'e the most intriguing | looking of the batoh of females that came out our year.” Venice quite gravely reflected that her appearance had in no way changed. It was curious how a little notice in some directions gleaned you notice in many. Super- | ficial, really, and stupid. Like a flock of sheep, society. Where one | found the pastures green the others i . |followed to graze. She knew no! % {genuine satisfaction for the laurels | she was attaining, only a secrct) ; scorn for the donors of her favars. At dinner much to her discomfort Ernest Price voiced his hidden doubts and she felt it necessary to| defend what she didn't actually be- | lieve. “Venice is going to the Yale- 4 Princeton game with Roland Wain- | wright,” Nolly told him. “It ought to be a good game,” he remarked. “I didn't mean that,” protested Nolly. “1 was thinking of that handsome, dashing young man, picking Venice.” “She’s too good for him.” “Why?” asked Venice, defensi- vely. “He's a paper doll. Prettily drawn, cut from good expensive paper.” “Your'e always bitter about so- ciety’s Gods,” Venice could not re- sist suggesting. “And you're always bitter about your other self.” “What other self?” asked Nolly, intensely interested in this duel of words. “The grave, shy self Venice is doing her best to smother.” ‘Venice, gazing at his wide sol- &mn eyes behind their glasses, liked him but wondered how any one could be in love with him. Like consorting with a vivisectionist. This idea wavered as they rose from the table and he subtly yet belptully aided Nolly to find her stick and shove her back her Chair. She doesn't even realize her ashamed. Momentarily, she ad- mitted to herself that she battled against him when she actually ‘agreed with him perfectly. They wereé leaving the dining-room.

I met her at Lola’s.” “Do you think she’s attractive?” “She has that certain something. ‘You know that girl’s been through all sorts of harrowing experiences.” “Yes.” Venice smiled to herself. She and Ann Duryea were drawing benefit from the same oversrated fount. It was an exciting game. More than the actual football Venice en- joyed the human sea, wave on wave up the tiers of the bowl. All at once the whole ocean would rise and gesticulate and scream. Cries hung heavy as something tangible on the air. Down on the gridiron small figures made formations, scat- tered, stopped, huddled. Some one lay flat on the ground, limp and inert, and was carried out to cheers that raised his name on high. ‘They nad dined at Rollo’s club in an effort to escape the crowd driving back. Venice felt tired and /in some inexplicable way cheated. She had so eagerly hoped to see ‘Drake Farrelly. The envious eyes ‘of the girls she knew, taking her in on Rollo’s arm, were scant consola- tion for the genuine boredom she suffered with him. Back in New York about mid- night they stopped at the Wain- wrights' for a delicious supper awaiting them in the high-ceiling- ed, specious dining-room. Then Rollo took her home. Before her own front door he attempted to kiss her. She felt {cool and immaterial and not as if she was apart of the scene at all “Please,” she protested, drawing back against the door. “Don’t be silly, Venice. I think your's the most wonderful girl I've ever known.” “I hate penny thrills.” “Why should it be a penny thrill? It's worth mints to me.” “Oh, no,” she laughed and turned to unlock the door. He stopped her hand that turned the key. “Are yo uone of these prudes?” he demanded, irritably. “I don’t know what I am,” she answered quite honestly. She wasa bit bothered about what she should do. She must have him in attend- ance but she wasn't going to hold out imitation bait. She had suc- ceeded in wresting her hand loose from his and had opened the door. She stepped inside holding it wide. “It's been a perféct day, Rollo. Thank you ever so much. Next time come to dinner with me and we'll try to make me out.” He laughed suddenly. “Your's a damn sight to intri- cate for me” he said and took a quiet step towards her. She was in his arms and his mouth was against hers. She did not struggle, . |remained cool, and lmp and in- different. When he let her go his face was faintly chagrined. “It was hardly worth even a penny. I'm sorry you did that, Rollo.” “I'm sorry t00,” he said surpris- ingly enough. “No one enjoys a “And no one ‘enjoys bemg refer- “Never mind, Venice,” he said|red to as something to eat,” she retorted. his solicitude for a small boy who had fallen down and. because of his profile that she glimpsed. It was Drake Farrelly. She felt sure. She broke into a little run until she was near enough to fear that he would hear her hurried footsteps. Then she walked as quietly and as quickly as sHe could. Her heart was thumping. She felt a fool and' very excited. . Is it Drake? Venice has waited months to see him. She finds out, tomorrow. Fight Qver Moses Has | Now Ended!
