"She's not what yon thought a chaperon was, Is she, little country mouser said Owen lightly. "Nothing at outworn as that, 1 hope," Phlna smiled, tupping an af fectionate arm through Iris's. "We're going to be companions, not old people and young peo; .'. aren't we, my dear?" "I hope so," Iris nld thyly. It teemed topsy-turvy. She'd tupposed Phlna would bavr approved of her staying away from the shouting strangers. Well, she was a country mouse. She laughed. "You'll have to let me work up to being a sophisticate by degrees." he said. "I've been living In the iztiet or nineties or something like that, you know." . ? "Good line," approved Owen. Then they were at tbe apartment house. A slender silver-gray terraced tower toward tbe upper end of Park Ave nue. Iris tUred around the foyer, aa they stood waiting for the eleva tor. It wat all sbarp-llBsu metal and livery velvet A tingle strange twisted picture, all red-and-sllver Unoa and planes, dominated a man tel and fireplace which gave the place a look of a deserted room, not a hall The smiling uniformed, 'operator awept them upward, a royal, proces sion, a door opened .n the rear of tbe dlevator and let them' directly Into Phlna i apartment. A maid In violet taffeta and lace apron took their outdoor things, another swept away tie baggago. Tbe hall where th'vy stood , was paneled In silvery wood, like the one downstairs: over ,i . console-table hung one dry-point of Phlna, signed by a famous etcher: a Lallque vase holding out-of-season- II. a of tbe valley stood below 11 on a tcrap of exquisite Chinese brocade; . Jade toys lay about "Don't dream dear come up to your room!" Phlna wat laughing. "But It't to lovely." . She could not help contraatlng Phlna with shabby, tense Aunt Kilt and ber Immutable toclal Unas. A woman who bad made herself a post tlon and could have a place like this wat still beyond the pale to Ella. Phlna, to Aunt Ella, wat a dress- maker. No matter bo-r successful. Poor Aunt Ella, suck Queer things nattered to her. Of course, Phila delphia bad always worried over uch things And little Persia, a province of Phlladelphli a back water, held to the old lines more than Philadelphia tttt.lt. And Aunt Ella wat an old lady. Irl't people had all been middle-aged when tbe wat born, and probably old-fashioned for that as provincial gentle folk wbo have been '-"pover" '-d are apt to be. "I'm Jumping fifty years," Iris told herself as she stepped across from the elevator to the gray-velvet rug of the foyer. Tbe excitement of It rushed over her again. A ND then, eomewuen In ber mind came the thoujr-t of what Mor gan would have said. "Be sure you don't alight on the wrrng square when you come down, like Alice In WrtndArlnnd.' He said clever, disturbing things like tbat Oh, dear. ss M.irgsn to haunt ber through evety'Mng she eald and did la this amatlng new world? The elder violet-taffeta nald and Owen followed Iris up a pair of dolls' stairs and a loud voice took ber mind from Morgan for the mo ment Somebody In tbe drawing room below was wslllng suddenly, "Ob.

She's more or less the fashion. "She helps people like this Rus sell woman out with tr-ir bills, or maybe puts an extra polish on some dud debutante's clothes" Owen frowned as If this thought had an noying connotations - "and she lunches with them, or runs down to keep them company wben they're alone In the great big oountry house with dear stupid Georgo away." "But" began Iris. Phlna's steps clicked up the dolls' 'airs before she could continue. She came In and spoke rather sharply to Owen. "SIgrld't downstairs. I told you she had to come ove. to work with tbe fall plans, but 1 certainly didn't mean you to ask ber to dine." "I can ask her out to dinner." said Owen, more quietly, hut as sharply. , "Nonsense. . Now she's here she may slay. I onlg tbougbt you might Ilka to have your slstor to yourself tbe first evening." "I wanted her to sej Slgrld," said Owen, flushing, and went down stairs. . "The wrong girl, at his age!" said Pblna, throwing out her red-nalled capable bands In a despairing ges ture.

Wear the rose-quarts with the frock on the bed. You're tbe most adorable Ingenji- But, dearest, go light on It or people won't think It's real." IRIS wat lying luxuriously In clear green water In a bathtub tinted rose like the rest oi the room before the meaning of Phlna's parting re mark struck ber. Phlna teemed to think that the way people acted waa a garment to put on and off aa they pleased. ' For a moment the excited en chantment slipped a little: all tbe delight of this fairytale apartment, ber beautiful clothed. Aunt Pblna with her power and her all of own ing the world, Owen -no, not Owen I That was real, no matter what else wavered. Well anyway, middle-aged people were queer.
