On the contrary, Cunniff be- lieved that when the Drummonds did | anything they did it well. He was ! judging from their automobile and Mrs. Drummond’s gowns and their though he knew the family rather well, he had never been at their house. “Say,” Cunniff asked Brown, who likewise was to be a guest at the dinner, “where do the Drummonds live, anyway ?" “At Fiftieth and Timberwood ave- nue,” said Brown. “That big gray- stone affair. You know it?" “Oh, ves,” said Cunniff, grandly. However, as a matter of fact, he did not know it at all, Late on Thanksgiving day he looked up the Drummonds in the telephone ! directory between wrestling with his tie and brushing his hair. He found the name at once—1949 Timberwood [ avenue. Tlaving got the tie to suit him, Cunniff started off briskly at a | quarter to seven, for the house was only five blocks from his residence. He ascended the steps briskly and was a trifle annoyed at the delay in answering his ring. When the door was at last opened Cunniff took a for- ward step and murmured tentatively his host's name. The maid Swung the door open. “Yes, this is Mr. Drummond's house. ! Come in" she said. “Please wait in the library.” Then she vanished. Cunniff. in come hewilderment, di- vested himself of coat and hat in the large entrance hall and proceeded into the room indicated. It was) empty. There was neither host nor hostess Turking in the corners and no other i gnests had arrived “My wateh must be horribly fast!" | Cunniff said to himseif. uncomfortably. there was to do and looked abont The room wis indeed handsome and probablv oL appear gtill more attractive when i the artistieally shaded liehts were turned on At prosent only wall near an oaken re, A dead silence reirned grow accustomed to the Cunniff made out the din room tahle some distance off in the adjoin- ing room. Only the hare mahogany confronted him. Even a mere man knows that for a dinner party the set- ting of the table must come some minutes before the eating of the meal Cunniff crossed one foot over ths other and tried to he patient. \When twenty minutes had passed without another arrival or the appearance of his entertainers the unpleasant convic- tion that something was wrong broke upon him. Yet why had he been admitted if anybody had come down with a serl- ous fllness and the dinner had been abandoned? Just as Cunniff, in a cold perspira- tion, was miserably meditating seizing his hat and coat and sneaking out he heard footsteps on the stairs. The set soclety smile he at once donned for Mrs. Drummond's delectation froze on his face as a girl walked in whom he had never seen before. She was a | young woman with a most delicious | face and Cunnift observed attractive little quirks at the corners of her| rosy lips. “Good evening,” she said a little dublously, as she eyed Cunniff. She acted as though she had expected somebody else. “Father has just tele- phoned me from the railroad station.

Cunniff got out, glad of something tangible to dis- pute “My name's Cunniff and I am supposed to be at a dinner party at| the Drummonds’ at Fiftieth street and Timberwood avenue! And I want to know what has happened to the din- | ner!” The pretty girl bent over the chair | back and laughed. “Why, I'm so sor- ry!” she choked. “It's the Drum- monds two doors up! We always get each other’s mail and packages, but we never got one of their dinner guests before! And you've waited all this time!” “T don’t mind the wait—now,” said Cunnift, daringly. Then he fled. i “Now,” he ended fifteen minutes Iater, when he had completed the tale | ‘ of his wanderings at the dinner table | ‘ of the right Drummonds and had been | forgiven because he had helped out the conversation, “the only way you' can square yourself for distracting me by living in a block full of Drum- monds is to introduce me to the other ones.

For a long period, at least, bits of such materials will cndure, and when they are looked at in the years to come everybody will marvel at the magnificence of our time. For, of course, there must be a revulsion of feeling at last, and then we will come down to the most coun- tritied simplicities. The present gran- drurs are ascribed to the needs of the manufacturers, who, seeing no way of cetting women to use more material, lave happened upon the lucrative no- tion of making textures more splendid. One of the loveliest fabrics for both wvening and fine day coats is cut vel- vet, which is now shown with gauze background, the texture falling as «oftly as veiling, and yet looking warm and permitting rich fur edges.
