At last she would have something interesting to write home. Her brother Tom's wife should see that she was making good socially in Berg- mont. The invitation informally requested an answer by telephone, and Lilla ran out to the corner drug store and drop- ped a nickel into the slot for that pur- pose. Her acceptance was marked by restraint; she needn't let Mrs. Wales think she was not used to such things. But her volce bearing the carefully selected words fairly boomed over the wire. The rather emotionless woman who recelved this joyous voice in her ear smiled faintly, recognizing youth and spontaneity. The wife of her hus- band’'s young secretary was a dear, it seemed. Home Ldlla flew, taking peeps at her wrist watch along the way and com- puting time. The luncheon was today at 1 o'clock; it was now 9:30. Burt did not come home to lunch, so she was entirely free in that respect. She met Mrs. Potter, who lived in the apartment above. Mrs. Potter had a market basket. She scrimped dread- fully, although her husband earned quite as good a salary as did Burt. Lilla, pretty and chic, looked at the other young woman'’s morning shabbi- h amusement. e got t® hurry home and get ready to go to a luncheon at Mrs. Wales', she boasted. “How nice!” Helen Potter looked wistful. Then she laughed. *“And I've got to hurry and get my soup greens on or 1 won't have any lunch for my hubby.” ‘‘He comes home to lunch, doesn't he? What a bore!” “It's better for him and then he's only out carfare, which is cheaper than paying for inferior food down- town.” Helen replied and walked on with dignity. “Always prating economy! T hate it,” Lilla told herself as she unlocked her own door. ‘Let's see! I'll wear my dark blue velvet. But I ought to have a new hat. The Spring styles are all in. I saw them yesterday at Marcy’s. There was a love of a black lacy thing—I wish I had it this min- ute. I wonder—I wonder if I could have them send it round in time for the luncheon! Oh, what a bother not to have a telephone! I've got to go back to the corner drug store.” It was only a step and she was there in five minutes.

Of course you do—Mrs. William Hudson Wales has asked me to her luncehon today at 1 and L'd like to see that hat I was looking at yesterday—the black lace one with the glycerined plume—could you send it up?—right away?—Oh, on approval of course!—Thank you, Miss Serge.” Triumphantly flushed her face was again as she sped homeward. The hat arrived within an hour. As she took it out of the box she re- cetved a shock of surprise. For this was not the modest reproduction at a reasonable price—this was the French model itself, a charming thing \pro- for $65. Lilla struggled with temptation. It was too late to make a change now. Why shouldn’t she wear 1t? It would only be for an hour, anyway. Women often did such things and no harm came of it. Oh, the hat was adorable! And she looked lovely in it! The brim had just the right slant for her plquant face. She wished to make a good impression, indeed, it was nec- essary that she do so, and this hat could not fall her. “I'll wear it!” Lilla decided. “It isn't wicked at all. Besides, it isn't as if T weren't perfectly responsible.” At 12:30 she came out of the house and began walking rapidly in the di- rection of Mrs. Wales' house. It was a brilliant day and many people were out. Glances of admiration were flashed at Lilla in her charming ap- parel. By the time she reached the heavily respectable Wales door she was quite in love with herself and as- sured of a good time, The luncheon was informal and quite gay. Half a dozen women who gathered about the tahle were all older |than Lilla with the exception of one —Mrs. Chambers, whose husband was also in Mr. Wales' employ. Lilla, stimulated by her appearance, was | more than ordinarily pleasing and she could see that she won the approval of her hostess. As they came out Mrs. Chambers linked arms in the friendllest fashion with Lilla. “You are not going right home?” she said. “Let's step into the mati- nee. I've two tickets. The friend who was going with me backed out. Please come.” This was an added pleasure, Lilla, putting aside all thoughts of her hat, went.
