A quiet littie wedding, in the office of Mr. Harvey Higginbottom, an attorney who is also justice of the peace. Ashtoreth wore a black crepe satin, six months old, a small vei- vet hat, and a pointed fox scarf. The scartf was a gift from the groom (he hasn't had time yet to buy a real gift. Only a few pearls —earrings, a necklace, and enorm- ous ring. Mr. Hart is a multi-millionaire, and deeply in love with his beau- tiful wife, Before their marriage, she was a stenographer in his em- ploy, who played her cards well, and couldn’t help being exquisite. They are sailing for, Paris on the Itle de France, leaving Maizie, Ashtoreth’s adoring mother, in the flat in Boston, with Sadie Morton to keep her company. Sadie, a little ex-filing clerk, brittle but not so dumb, had contemplated blackmail- ing Mr. Hart. Sadie isn't really bad, Just scheming. Maizie can manage her all right, though, Maizie, with her heart of gold, and her big jovial soul. Ashtoreth, by fhie way, is 23. And her worshiping husband must be nearly 50—old enough, at any rate, to be Ler father. Before she met him, Ashtoreth was more or less in love with Monty English, a young radio salesman, poor as a church mouse, but engaging. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLI il “Star bright, star light—first star I've seen tonight; I wish I may, I wish T might — have the wish that I wish to- night.” g Ashtoreth had thrown about her head a chiffon scarf spangled with silver stars. And over her velvet dinner gown (slashed to the waist in back) &« wrap that was studded with semi-precious stones, like the best brocaded gown of an arch- bighop. She felt like a princess in a fairy tale, who had been rather drab once upon a time. But, by virtua of being beautiful, had come at last into her own. . . . She considered the firmament . . . and touched the silver star on her low, white forehead. A trifle bizarre. But none could deny that it suited her un- usual beauty. Hollis had accounts in New York at all the smartest shops. That struck Ashtoreth as a bit strange. But then it was very convenient— and, after all, she wasn't marrying the man's past. She bought French lingerie, and a squirrel coat. Ten pairs of shoes, and five of colored pumps, With rhinestone heels and buckles. Six hats. Seven dinner gowns (one for every night of the voyage), two cvening wraps (the other was of feathers, and too fragile to wear on deck), five dozen pairs of chifon hose. And a few sport things. “Not too much,” cautioned Hollls, “because we don't want to travel with a lot 'of trunks. You can do your serious shopping in Paris." So Ashtoreth had chosen her beautiful clothes with a little new air. . . . “A dozen nightgowns will be enough, I think. And only two regligees—the scarlet one, and e green velvet. I'm going to Paris, you sce, and I don’t want to be burdened with luggage. It's so silly, don’t you think—when one can pick up such exquisite lingerie over there? o » " It had been hot and close in the ballroom tonight. Too much smoke, and too much champagne. Resides, Lady Mary Somebodyorother, = re- turning from London, via Paris, had appropriatred Hollls. They were old friends, it seemed. Ashtoreth wasn't exactly piqued. Still, it did seem that Lady Mary might have been a little more con- siderate. The way she was always talking of things and people of which Ashtoreth knew nothing! And there was another dreadful woman. Mrs. Humbert Worring- rd, who lived Tn one of those aces you read about in the Gibbs' novels, and wanted them to g0 shooting. Hollis had lots of friends aboard. They drank innumerable aperitifs. ond played incessant bridge. And chatted of books and travel, and the stock market. So that Ashto reth had, sometimes, a suffocating feeling of being completely swamped. Cocktails made her ill, hecause the passage was a little rough. She couldn't play bridge . . . nor deck games. And she'd Jiad so little time to read! As for xtocks, and bulls and bears, and Jhuying on margin, and selling short well, a girl can’t know every- thing. Ashtoreth was glad Mary had buck feeth. She knew if the truth were told, Lady Mary would hatve heen glad to exchange all her erudition, and her high-hat ways, for a good set of even, white teeth, to sparkle every time she opened her mouth. . . . And Mrs. Tiumbert Worringford had the Diggest feet! Ashforeth found them absurdly reassuring. After all, sociely women usually are plain. Or they don’t know how to dress. Or they're awfully fat, or terribly scrawny. Against the solidarity of their manses and their titles, and their good old familles, of their assured ways and their cortain knowledge, Ashtoreth con- sidered the buck feeth of Lady Mary, the flat fect of Mrs. Humbert Worringford, and the triple chins of Miss Amy Morrill, the soclety poetess. They comforted her im- measurably. that Lady She would be glad when they reached Paris, and the passengers had gone their varied ways. 8till, even that would have its draw- backs. Hollis was a darling. and she certainly loved him. But it was so gilly, the way he idolized her. ‘When he called her “Orchid.” he kind of whispered it. Not really whispered, but he said it so sort of thrillingly. Quietly, with a little quiver in his voice. Almost as if e~ ey S=NEFSSS SRS |married. — he were calling on & saint, or the Mother of God. . . . And he was always talking about her “darling untouchedness,” and telling her how cool she was, and chaste, and lovely, like an orchid. Sometimes, in the pressing dark of her cabin, she fiou(ht of Monty. And all his rough, young ways. And his merry slang. And the way he used to tell her truths about herself. And she wondered if Monty would laugh, if he could Lear Hollis saying such beautiful things. Monty had told her something once, about getting married: “You'll get married for one of two things, Ash,” he saild. “Love or money. You won't be like all the rest of the women, Half the girls I know got a bug on getting Not because they love a man! But because they'd like a lit- tle place of their own. Or they're fed up on working. Or they're lonesome, and they want company. Maybe it's just a meal ticket they're grabbing. Or they don’t want to be old maids. Some of them do it so's they can have kids. There's reasons enough, decent and respectable, and all that. But it's not love—and it's not just money. “Now, you're different, Ash. It'll be love or money with you. And nothing else but.” “But money doesn't make a hap- py marriage, Monty!" she had pro- tested. “No, but it makes up for an un- happy one,” he told her wisely. “If you don't love a man more than God himself, be sure he's got money, Ash. If you love him cnough, it don't count. I got a feel- ing in my bones. , . ." “What sort of & feeling?” she had demanded, when he hesitated. But Meonty shrugged his shoul- ders then, and whistled. That was all, he declared, that he had to say. Love or Money. . . . Well, I did, didn't I? thought Ashtoreth to her- self. . . . Marry for love, I mean, she added hastily. She had left Hollis in the ball- room, and slipped out during a brief moment when nobody was paying any particular attention to her. Now she leaned over the rail, and drew her glittering cloak about her. There was somcbody standing in a little corner that was full of shad- ows. Ashtoreth had not seen him, but she felt him, standing there. He had seen her, of course, in the light of the open door, clothed in black and silver, with a star on her forchead, and a gleaming wrap' to warm her, Probably he was lonely, and would like to talk to somebedy. + + « Why not? Hollis was dancing with Lady Mary, wasn't he? And not caring & bit what became of her. She leaned over the ralling, and addressed herself to the heavens. “Star bright, star light—first star T've seen tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might—have the wish that I wish tonight.”* She turned her profile toward the dark corner, and clasped her hands against her throat, shivering slight- ly, and drawing her cloak closer, Hollis said that her hands made him think -of calla lilies. As for her profile—she knew that was per- fect. . . . She sighed softly. Then out of the shadows stepped a familiar figure. . . . And that moment the door opened, framing Hollis, his hands thrust in the pockets of his dinner coat. Ashtoreth knew he was looking for her, but she pretended, for a moment, to be lost in contempla- tion of the wintry sea. The stranger stepped back, filling the corner filled already with darkness. “Orchid!” cricd Hollis, and joined her at the rail,. “My dear, you'll catch cold!" He covered her hands with his, chafing them warmly. . . . “Silly little girl — it's frigid as Gredn- land’s icy mountains out here.” “I didn't know you'd miss me,” she pouted prettily. “You were so interested in Lady Mary."” “Darling!” he cried, and put his arms about her. *“You know better than that, don’t you Sweetheart?" She lct him hold her for a mo- ment, looking over his shoulder, peering into the shadows. That man had given her a dreadful start. He looked so exactly like Monty. It couldn’t be, of course. 3ut what if it was? . . . She drew a little away from her husband. “Come on in, Hollis. I'm frozen to death.” “But why did you come out, Or- chid ?” “T® wish on the first star,” she told him. “I always do.” “Baby he murmured. “Darling little baby," and forgot that there had been several first stars, rising over the Caribbean, that his bride had quite overlooked. They arrived in Parls on a Mon- day, and went directly to the Ritz. Because it was Monday, the shops were closed, and the museums and galleries, and even a number of the smal'e P restaurants. Hollis was quite content to stay in their suite. Ashtoreth was annoyed when he seemed to think there was nothing more exciting to do than just holq hands, and kiss, and things like that. He was stll talking about how exquisite she was, and con- summate, and she had begun to find it slightly nerve-wracking. Finally, they went to the Cafe de la Paix, and on the way Ashto. reth noticed that on the Avenue »f the Opera, therc were many un- remantic American things for sale —sew]ng machines, and shoes ani dress patterns. It was disenchant- ing, somehow. But the Cafe was very exciting. They sat out doer, on the sidewalk, in the middle of winter. And everybedy drank cock- tails, or cafe au lait, or checolate, to keep warm. And there were flower venders, selling violets and datfodils. Hollis talked to one of the wait- ers, and presently the man who owned the place, or maybe he only managed it) was there, bowing and shaking hands,” and calling her Madame. Hollis knew everybody, and everything. ‘They went from there to Place = Vendome, to see the crystals at Premet's. . And, as they strolled along the boulevard. Hollis spoke to a number of people. Several ef them stopped, and exchanged lengthy greetings. They made Ashtoreth feel ignorant and gauche, even when they spoke English. Be- cause she could think of nothing to say, except, “It's my first trip,” when they asked about her plans.

Bhe cried herself to sleep, between linen kheets, and shivered all night, because no French puff can cover anyone's feet and shoulders at the same time, and Ashtoreth liked to keep them both warm. To make things worse, she dreamed about Monty, and woke up shrieking, because he was standing in a dark corner, and someone was dropping anchors on him. Hollis was very sweet, and dried her eyes, and kissed her gently. But Ashtoreth had discovered that his two front teeth, the upper ones) were on little awivels, and he re- moved them at night, after the lights were out. In the morning she woke believ- ing that Monty was in Paris. Hollis had gone out so quietly that she did not hear him. There was & note from him on the pillow, telling her to ring for petit de Jjeuneur, and that he would have a little surprise when he returned.

NIDWEST TEMPERATURES HEAD FOR ZERO REGION Caating of Ice Over Chicago Streets Makes Sand and Ashes Neces- sary for Footing, Chicago, Jan. 28 (® — Two at- mospheric disturbances, one in east- ern Kansas and the other in the Rockv Mountain plateau region, to- day had pointed midwestern temper- atures toward zero, and below. Gales whipped Lake Michigan, ice covered avements and open roads, and in several states there was promise of more snow. ‘The renewed cold snap, which the weather bureau said would be severe, came as the trailer of rain and warming winds which had left streets, sidewalks and fields soaked. With the temperature drop, .the water froze, coating most of the middlewest with ice. Chicago, whose streets already were slippery with snow that fell during the Christmas holidays, was resorting to sand and ashes to make foot and motor traftic less dangerous. Btreets became skating rinks for children in many parts of the city. In the Black Hills of South Da- kota a record low of 14 below zero was reported with snow drifts piled high. Whistling winds, snow laden, swept over North Dakota and Min- nesota, Below zero temperature pre- vailed.
