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

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.
