To 6e seen publicly witn I nmiara matiui acjii, uric a U stock soaring. itlr it the door, heralded Mrs. kin's arrival. Wherever she appeared, there was always a commotion. Her dress, her man ncr and her voice, commanded at tention. "My dear Mrs. Donovan," she cried, bearing down under full sail on Katie. She was dressed today in heavy black satin with a great deal of jet gleaming at the throat and her mink coat and a mink hat made her look like a Russian general. Those waiting in the lounge looked pleasantly self-conscious as she passed, glad to be at the Colony on tne aay sne was luncmng there. "We have your same table, Mrs. Martin, jean nodded, then sig naled to a waiter. "Madame is sitting in the front, the one marked reserved." He directed the small cavalcade of waiters, busboys and attendants to draw the chairs back, fill the glasses with Ice and put a special bouquet oi spring llowers on the table. "We'll order and then talk," Mrs. Martin said, accepting the homage. She sat opposite Katie, nodding to this and that person, holding up her lorgnette the better to identify those about her. "There's Mrs. Morgan," she murmured, bowing to an extra ordinarily thin old lady whose wrinkled parchment throat Was held in place by a black velvet band. "I'm expecting you at my party tonight," she called. Mrs. Morgan nodded, the plumes swaying on her Queen Mary tur ban. '.'I'm looking forward to it with great pleasure. I hear your beautiful niece is the inspiration." By tne time Mrs. Martin had spoken to the different people around her, it developed that prac tically everybody in the restaurant would be at the party. The Robil lards, the Jameses, the Kissans and the Leonard Finches were all com ing. Mrs. Martin fixed her lorgnette on Mrs. Donovan. ' I hope you like smoked salmon and filet of sole," she said. "I al ways order them in England. This is the only place in New York where they're half decent." Katie murmured that she liked them very much. She was going to be a lady if it killed her. "And now, said Mrs. Martin, sweeping aside the knives and forks which the waiters had so carefully laid in front of them, "we can get down to business." She was not one to tide-step the issue. "James Martin and Will, my husband, need your husband's UPPER FANNY BySy.vi. .. .. - ... . I 'Wu it Fan, swell! We didn't hafta play games or anything." SIDE GLANCES help and co-operation in a hml. ness way" She eyed Katie ben evolently, paused a moment, theu spoke slovly and deliberately. fc-.-ui, kj uui umun would be a marriage between your ion and James" daughter. What could be more all-powerful than the merging of these two families?" Katie nodded. Discussion o( business of any sort was beyond her depth, but she had sense enough to keep quiet' Mr. Mar tin mistook her silence for scep ticism. "There's no reason in the world why you shouldn't be the first lady in society," she said, gently pat ting Katie's hand. Before Mrs. Donovan had a chance to reply, Mrs. Tom Sher wood interrupted. "You must have raced us back," she exclaimed. "I pictured you still cruising north on the Kath erine and here you are looking i if you'd already readjusted your self to this frightful rush." Katie smiled and explained she'd only arrived yesterday. It gave her great satisfaction to In troduce Mrs. Sherwood to Mrs. Martin, for she still recalled that the former had been a bit patron izing on the boat that day she and her husband came aboard with the Murrays for luncheon. Mrs. Sherwood had hardly left when Lynda came up to the table. "Oh, Auntie," she cried to Mrs. Martin. "Think of finding you and Mrs. Donovan here. May I join you?" "Of course, my darling." But there was a tinge of regret in Mrs. Martin's tone. She had not yet finished her conversation with Katie. A waiter hurried forward with a chair for Lynda. Another took her mink coat. From the service she got, the other guests, whether they recognized her or not, knew she was somebody. "You and I don't need any in troduction, do we, Mrs. Donovan?" Lynda smiled sweetly. "You're a very important person in my life." A jostling behind her caused her to turn, frowning. "This place Is entirely too crowded," she began. But a petu lant grimace followed the frown as she saw who was doing the pushing, "Why, Dan Donovan " she said. The welcoming note in her voice gave way to disapproval. Dan was followed by a girl. That forward girl, Lynda thought, who modeled her gown at Varnet's. Dan grinned, but he stared questioningly at his mother. "See you later?" he asked. Mrs. Donovan did not answer.
