I don't think one of the guests at Lillian Underwood's dinner in honor of Robert Savarin will ever forget an old monastery refectory. " "Perfect!" breathed Cousin Jack to me rl was his dinner. partner as his eyes traveled over the tables with Lillian's old silver and rare china and glass relieving their sombreness to the gracious hostess in her strik ing costume. "Old Lii's struck twelve this time," murmured Frank Lester at my other side. "Of course she'd want to d3 something special for Savarin he's the one best bet vocal ly just now. Think how many host esses would give their eyes to be in Lii's shoes tonight and she's cer tainly succeeded. "The old boy is pleased, too, you can see that. Just give him the once over. Mrs. Graham; he can't make his eyes behave when he looks at Lil. SayT What'll you bet he is n't getting sweet on her?" "Oh. hush!" I whispered in an ag ony of nervous fear that come one! would' hear his flippant chatter. "Ill shut up," Mr. Lester returned aggrieved, "but anyone that's got eyes can see how the old rent looks at her. Pity Harry Underwood couldn't get some fever dawn In South America. He's a good scout. Harry is. and 1 like him. but I don't think he's made Lii's lite particu larly blissful, and she deserves some thing good out of life if anybody does."

There was one part of his little pech. however, that worried me. I stole a cautious lok at Robert Sav arin and saw that Mr. lister's kords were only too true, "anyone with eyes." could see the tender admira tion with which the great artist re- earded his hostess. Kven thouch all the guests at Lillian's tahle were her tried and true friend. 1 didn't lilt the idea of having them realize the depth of Robert Savarin' feeling for her. I am not naturally tn'ci of thought and I rndgeled my brain wildly for some apropos question which I could put to Robot Savarin compelling his reply, and taking his eyes from Lillian' face. Hut btfort I could make my brain cells work Lillian herseH met the dirflculty. "Have vou told Mr. Savarin yet of your latest vrolege. Ella?" he asked of Mrs. Watrous. and a not of laughter ran beneath the words. - "Net yet. Lillian." Mrs. Watrous returned defiantly, "but give me chance to open my mouth and I (hall Jo so at once." We all laughed, for anyone who had ever known or heard of Mrs Watrous xraa acquainted with her p nchant for picking np all sorts of , Impossible persons in whom she thought sh? discerned the spark of artistic genius, and trying to develop the! r possibilities. That most of her I swans turned out sooner or later to be particularly stupid and often un grateful g?ese troubled her nt at ill. I always had a shrewd susHe lon that the pose of Lady Bountiful rather appealed to her vanity. How Lillian Managed. "Silenee on the side lines:" Lillian eommanded Rayly. "Go ahead, El la."
