Clay grinned foolishly and was,
mannishiy. slightly pleased. 'Men
like their wives to think they .were

Eve got the idea then and there
that there were many tbinjts Clay
ought to tell her. She decided to
askjilm about them sometime. .

with n-roar as they walked out ot
the Northwestern station into Mad

clutched at her husband. , ' ;
' Clay looked around as If unde

that he wanted" to go to the Great
house, the hotel suggested by John

Ing at him . expectantly. : VThe

feeling that the chauffeur had air

To their -surprise,; there- was a
telegram (or them, at the hotel,, .
"Ooh, who's it from?". ; . ,
- Clay, didn't want his wife to see
.it; he was. afraid it was bad news.
His mother. . . . - . . . -'
But he breathed easier when he
saw the signature:, John Ingate'.

"Oh, ; isn't . that . splendid ot

him. Why should. John Ingate -do
all this for them? - He regarded
his wife darkly. "I haven't any

; "Oh, yoO buy. sports clothes, and

Oh, I know It's nice out there.- He
has told me about it." Eve didn't
realise the. effect on her husband
of her frequent references 'to John
Ingate." " W ' f
J "WelVJiave. plenty to do,". Clay.
answered; throwing' off his coat
and plunging into a bag for tooth
paste and rush. For nearly half
an hour he left her alone while he
doused himself He took after his
mother in that he was fanatical
about, cleanliness.. Many times
daily he washed his hands, the
hands that had such a strange
fascination for Eye.. -. .
When he emerged it was to say:
"Well, what she we do now? Go
for -a, bhs ride?! t- .
: - "I wish yon would go out for a
while and let me have the room to
myself." ;
Clay smiled tolerantly. Blowing
a kiss at her, he departed, hatless.
n the lobby he bought the morn
ing papers. , The balcony looked
attractive; he could see many per
son sitting. ' np there, and he
Joined them.' The crowd of goers
and comers below him drew his at
tention away. from:, the papers.
That portly individual over by the
door must he a man of import
ance; possibly even one . of the
great rich men of the city. (It
was, as a matter of fact, the. house
detective.) There were many oth
er iren about and each represent
ed to Clay . Wales wealth and im
portance. .Why shouldn't ; he be
rich, too? '" He looked as well In
his clothes as they did.' He knew
a thing or two. -
: The women who passed in and
out of the lobbv interested him
too. At first he didn't think them
any prettier or any better dressed
than the women in Central City.
Yet, he felt, there was something
different about them certain
sophistication.
I It was halt an hour before he re
turned to the room to knock soft
ly upon the door: Eve had changed
her dress, and her ivory skin was
mellow velvet from her attentions.
i "Oh. I've never seen you so
pretty ? he exclaimed. He was in
& romantic mood.
Her eyes sparkled .with pleas
ure. "Do you like it?".
!. "Oh. you're, too marvekmsly
beautiful to be true! Anythinr
you wear you - make beautiful
: His eyes scintillated in the
bleam of sunlight upon her hair;
the seductiveness ot her skin; the
cherry redness of her Hps.
I They did! not go out until late
in the afternoon. It was "cocktail
hour!' on Michigan avenue; dusk
was playing its pretty tricks with
the shadows on the-row of giants;
Invigorating breezes - wafted in
from. the lake; the west sidewalk
was jammed with casually stroll
