You're doing very well for yourself. And you're meeting the right peo ple. That's where I come in, if you don't mind. I know hardly anybody of importance in New York. Hardly any moneyed, influential people. In cty present financial position, I need to get in with the right crowd." She snapped: "So as to make an other rich marriage?" He took that humbly, rebukingly. I "Toni, you've grown so hard! I wouldn't know you for the same irll" "Fra not the same girl. Brock. Get .that straight" ; "And you're lovelier than ever.

For the thirty-two-year-old society girl had set her cap for the handsome bach elor from Kentucky. Time," thought Miss Brewster, 'for marriage." Not that she would ever ttle down." Oh, nol She was a restless product of the twentieth century. She was, utterly, of the smart, pleasure-seeking set. But now it was time for marriage, she had decided. Not that she hadn't had her chances. The society columns were constantly hinting of international alliances for her. But failing a titled nobleman, a handsome, wealthy man from home would do. Guy Halstead-Flagg was the man with whom she could fall in love I Things were going very nicely be tween them, except for his rather quaint interest in this girl of the night-club world. Not that that meant anything. even if she was a French marquise, of which Miss Brewster was not at all assured. But determined to find out. She'd trace her. Already she had set wheels moving. , As she stood at the head of the stairs in her smart town house on Park Avenue, awaiting ber guests; Miss.

She under stood their greed, to get a couple ox "stiff ones" downed before even bothering to greet their hostess, for she would have done the same thing as a guest When it came to her own comfort, her desires, she was a past mistress at rudeness! Practically all of them were. But not the pretty, rather shy marquise. With inimitable grace she was coming up the wide stairs. Behind her was a young man. The night before, at the club, she had diffi dently asked permission to bring him to the party. In view of her own Interest in Guy Halstead-Flagg, Harriet Brew ster had accepted. A nice titbit to tell Guy 1 How agreeable to say to him, cas ually: "The little singing girl of L Chateau as lajMarquu has brought her best beau to the party. Probably another French tmigri in disguise 1 Who knows?" That would serve two purposes. The hint of something phony, and the idea of the girj having a sweet heart Miss Brewster was shrewd. "My dear, I'm delighted to see you.. And your charming friend 1" Toni made the introduction. She hated bringing Brock Milbank to this party. Hated the thought of him meeting Miss Brewster, Guy Halstead-Flagg, and others who had been nice to ber and encouraged her at the club. ." .: But Brock bad insisted. In fact had demanded, that she bring him . to this party. If she -antagonized Brock in his present desperate mood, ' who knew what might happen? For it wasn't merely Jessica's di vorcing him, nor his father's losing a great deal of money, that was eat ing him. It was something be bad withheld from Toni a discreditable something- she had come upon that very morning in a back copy of san Francisco paper.' He had been let out of his firm be cause of a crooked business deal! That was the reason why ha did not show bis face in Wall Street, And sooner or later, if he lingered , here and contrived to wedge an en-: try into New York society, bis rec ord in an likelihood would leak out The fact that it was she who bad vouched for him among these people would be held against her.
