RAY WEST'S rather vapid Dame
of "Ddbutanle II" tor bit private
:ar had been a polite, nose-thutntilnit
gesture or hit own toward his wife,
It waa no secret tbat be bad named
the car after her '
Eleanor West had been a princess
among debutantes In Washington
gay social and diplomatic circle. Bli
had been possessed of a cultivated
beauty and a finishing school vi
vacity, and when sbe reclaimed tbe
position tbat bad been bera before
she married Raybrrne West, sbe was
older in years, not In values.
She still cultivated ner beauty as
siduously and the effervescent and
Innocuous vivacity bred of French
governesses, exclusive finishing
schools, and bachelor cotillions was
still the foundation of ber charm.
She blended tbe mode of life of
two generations. She patronized the
arts, gave elaborate balls, and led
fashionable drives to provide starv-
lng Zulus with collar butons.
On the other hand, she held gay
youthful cocktail soirees, skirmished
provocatively with handsome young
men, and followed occasional affairs
to tbelr logical conclusion.
"You won't enjoy it at all," Puff
told Terry darkly as they had a bite
of supper In a smart little restaurant
near DuPont Circle. "You can have
a lot more fun stringing along with
mo tonight I have a swell party on
Lots of fun."
"This Is just a stopover. Puff. I
have business In New York, and all
my luggage la In a hotel up there."
"What hotel?"
Wlllett didn't see wbat difference
that made, but he told her.
"Well, we can tave a lot of fun In
New York, too. I know that town like
the palm of my hand."
"I'm not looking for fun oiactly."
"You never have, 1 think," said
the glrL "High time you were get
ting on to yourself."
They went out on the sidewalk
and called taxis. In the door of hers
Puff paused.
"If you don't find Allaire," she
said, "1 lire at the Mayflower, big
boy." She smiled at him. "Call, come
In person, or send out thought waves.
We can have a lot of fun."
She was gone. Terry looked after
nor a moment. Pretty girl with dark
hair seeming to endow ber eyes with
that violet color and so what? Good
luck to the lieutenant from Fort
Myer whose saber had been Junked
by Congress. Then he climbed Into
his taxi and gave tbe address Puff
bad furnished bim.
Tbe West home was a stone man
alon on Massachusetts Avenue with
a courtyard guarded by a wall and
two large black drawbridge-like
doors, one labeled "In" and the
other "Out."
Terry got out before tbe lighted
portico and regarded the place curi
ously a moment. He never would
have thought tbat girl had so much
money. Funny world. Some people
sweat all tbelr lives and stayed
broke, and others bought a grosa of
ea nreeics and a deck chair every
time the tun got too hot.
"pHE butler who answered tbe door
1 looked a little surprised. It was

Ice It Miss West was at home.
Wlllett came Into a broad hall lit
by great crystal chandeliers shining
down on a parquet floor. He sal down
In a chair and twirled his hat around
ilmlessly In his bands.
Then the butler returned and utn
ired him Into a small reception room
a strange room for that cold man
lion of stone and crystal.
There was a warm lomugjr air about
It the kind of place tbat reminded
one of a corner of a stnok lng room on
I luxurious ocean liner tbe small
tailing ship model on the mantel
piece, the dark rug. and an Imper
septlble feeling of vibration that
imauatcd from tbe solid nrmness of
the furniture, the slow-tlcklng brain
bound clock, and the regularly
paced dimmed lights tunported by
little rods of grilled Iron from oaken
walls.
".Miss Went ulll receive you here,
sir." said tbe butler.
"Thank you very much," (aid Wll

.urlously. and decided this' "being:
received' oualnest was quite evl
dently an ornate function.
It seemed a long time before Al
.aire anally appeared. It waa qultt
a time. Wlllett bad started his tblni
iliareL But suddenly sbe waa tbere!
She made him tblnk of a ellra tbafl
of tllver as sbe stood on tbe thresh
old, an evening gown of something
ahimmeilng clinging closely about
her. For a moment neither spoke,
l'bey looked at each other almost as
If searching for something.
Sllvtr la a cold color and to was
an Intangible current In tbe air
like a draught coming from tome
unknown place. Terry tensed that
Immediately. He bad a crazy Idea
tbat be was being Inspected like a
prize oull. Tbe girl made no move.
"Hello," he said, and grinned
"Surprised to see me7"
The girl nodded ber head grace
ful. "1 didn't believe It at flrst," tbe
talc calmly. "Of all people the en
glueor. What are you doing In a
civilized part ol the world? Why.
I'd rather Imagined you'd be In dark
est Africa by now."
"That's quite a distance from
South America."
"Pretty far," she agieed. "to run."
SHE came Into the room and ex
tended a hand. A French diplo
mat would undoubtedly have kissed
It; there was something of that In
her manner. Wlllett held It, unre
sponsive, in his. Her dark eyes, ca
pable of saying so much, seemed only
politely expectant
"Yes," sbe said, withdrawing her
hand, "I bad thought of you In dark
est Africa In a pith helmet, slugging
whiskey from a demijohn over your
shoulder and romantically defying
the Jungle to put up a thirty-story
grass hut for the Tlmbuctu Walsi
Garment Company, Incorporated.
Do sit down."
Willet sat down. He felt vaguely
disappointed there was something
vibrant and lively missing here. Sur
prise, he could have understood, bul
not this total lack of spontaneity.
1 ran across your trail today,"
he said Anally. "Met your father on
the Washington train."
He often uses the 'Old Domln
Ion,' " she acceded.
There waa another silence. Well.
that was that Her father often used
the "Old Dominion." Good thing that
was settled.
I thought I'd follow you up," he
resumed.
"Did you? I'm very gratified, but
why?"
Why? Perfectly natural question
of course, but this barrier of coolness
was beginning to annoy blm. She
seemed a part of the cold reserved
beauty of her home.
1 wanted to see you again. After
all," be pointed out, with a brief-
appearing smile, "you saved my life."
He d bad his life saved and saved
lives himself live or six times In the
course of his hectic racing existence.
It hadnt been anything particular
notoworthy until this girl had cov
ered blm.
She flushed slightly, but said noth
ing. Again he was disappointed.
Did you get off all right?" be
asked abrutply.
"Very well, thanks, Mr. Fox saw
to It admirably."
George Is good at that kind of
thing."
1 don't know what I would have
done without him. He stood by won
dorfully." She waved a hand to dis
miss the subject "Well. Mr. Wlllett,
what lies bofore you now?"
II J didn't answer Immediately. He
was trying to figure out this strongs
bohavlor.
"You know," he snld slowly, "you
act as though you'd seen me once
In your llfo."
Allaire gave a surprised little
laugh.
"How uany times, exactly, have 1
soon you?"
Once." said Wlllett. "It didn't
make much Impression on you."

nlng."she corrected.
Entertaining evening! It bad been
a vital evening in his life, that'i
what It bad been. And she called II

Strange as It seems, the badge or
style In metropolitan areas has also
been the badge of poverty In cer
taiu rural European districts. Peas
ant girls In Holland, Germany, and
some parts of France, have their
hair bobbed so they can sell It to
wJg-mnkers. This practice, much
more prevalent a tew years ago than
now, paid them well when women
In style had to have additional
strands of hair to supplement their
natural hair. Today the theater and
movies are the cnlef users of human
hair wigs.
Tomorrow: "The Outlaw Hero."
