eoukln't help wondering w'a. :. was
the roof of that club where m.. hand
some Jim Brett was employed, though
af course it wns Impossible to speak
f hint to any one except Vivace.
We lunched one day at nil enormous
ud very fashionable red brick hotel
called the Waldorf-Astoria and went
feito a Turkish room and had delicious
filings to eat iu a beautiful restaurant
which h:;d not at ail an out of season
air, though Mrs. Ess Kay said that
tost of the well groomed looking peo
ple whom 1 suspected of being leaders
f the Tour Hundred were only "trip
pers." 1 l'o wonder, by the way, why
ne always ha an innate sense of con
tempt for trippers and Inn;; to be
sniffy and show one's own superiority?
We must ail be trippers somewhere
nd sometimes, or we would never see
anything of the world indeed. I sup
pose I am by way of being a tripper I
low. But one never seems to regard
eiieself iu such a light or luia.,-i:ie that
anybody else could be so unui-u ernlng.
I hadn't kuown that a hotel could be as
big as the Waldorf-Astoria, though Mrs.
Ess Kay says there are several just
bout as lar:e iu New York, and she
las heard there are one or two In Chi
ago. but she thanKS heaven she doesn't
know anything personally rUhm that
IVhen she made this remark I remem

it-ally wonderful and most Interesting,
as 1 shall Sad out if I see it. I wish
f rould. but I suppose I shan't as I
sme over to visit Mrs. Ess Kay, not
to do sightseeing.
The second day after we came back
from West Point, ns I went downstairs
&e first thing In the morning. I beard
Mrs, Ess Kay at the telephone, which

She was having n long conversation
with, some one, laughing and chatting
fust as If she were talking to a vl.

With that bhe begui n '.hat into the
ISIug again In a chummy oit of way'
which seemed quite uncanny, as li
hare always looked upon a telephone
aoi omclal kind of machine which
you prepared for with fasting and
jpsyer and only had recourse to when
aaxictiy necessary for Important bual

P Kay. "I'm goicg to Introduce you.

way. If we didn't there'd be niorw
rases of tenons prostration than there
are, atid goodness knows there are
enough now even since blue rays
have come in. Many love affairs are
carried ou practU ally entirely by
phono, and I've heard that in case of
necessity marriage ceremonies can be
performed by It."
"How about divorces':" 1 asked. And
1 was ijnite serious, but Mrs. Ess Kay
didn't seem to thiuk the question
worth an answer. So she switched
oiT her friend and rang up two or
three tradespeople of whom she order
ed seeut and chocoiatcs and some u'w
books aud told a mau'eure to call.
Then we weut in to breakfast.
I1 iipiiears tl.at the manicure person
is a great catch, and you are lucky to
vret hi. n without making an appoint
ment lo:ig I el'orch ;nd. lie does things i
to your feet, too, though I dared not ;
ask what, aud Mrs. Ess Kay Inteuded
to stop lil for him all the morning.
While she was talking about this ,
Sally was glancing over letters, and
there was oue Iu which she seemed ;
particularly interested. She looked up
from it suddenly wheu Mrs. Ess Kay i
said she was not goin?; out and ex
claimed: "Oh, thou 1 may have Betty.
How nice.' I do so want to show her
the park."
"I'll go with you." Potter broke in
quickly, but Sally shook her head.
"No, I want her to myself, thank
you just for this once."
Potter looked crcj, but said no
more, and ft was arranged that Sally
uud I should start in about an hour.
Mrs. Ess Kay thought we ought to
get off at once, as it would be cooler.
But for some reason Sally did not like
that Idea. Meanwhile she ran out her
self on an errand, but did not offer to
take me.
Even people who have absolutely
nothing to do except to amuse them
selves appear to like waking up and
having breakfast much earlier than
we do. This morning, as usual, we
had finished breakfast by half past 9,
and by a quarter past 10 Sally had
come back to fetch Vivace and me for
our walk.
I hadn't yet been shown Central
park. Mrs. Ess Kay said It was hor
rid out of season. But Sally didn't
agree with ber. And I thought It j
lovely, more like the Bols de Bou
logne than our park, and yet with au
extraordinary Individuality of its own
There were only a few people of our
sort, riding or driving, but lots of
children were playing about and It
was wonderful that the trees and
grass and flowers could have kept so
fresh through such tremendous heat
I'm sure If we had weather like that
In England tbe whole vegetable king- j
dom would go on strike.
Whether it was the beauty of the
park or whether It was something in
herself I don't know, but Sally Wood-
burn was in a seutimental mood. She
Is generally full of fun, in her soft.
quiet little way, but this morning she
was all poetry and romance. She
quoted Tennyson and several modern
American poets whose names I was
ashamed to say I didn't even know, as
their verses seemed charming, and
when she had found a certain narrow.
Bhndy path which she had been looking
for suddenly she said: "Let's talk about
love. What do you think about lore.
Betty?"
"I don't know anything about It yet
except from books," said 1. "Mother

Iw like to be In lover
"Yes," I had to admit shamefacedly.
for, us she Is not n man, luckily It
wasn't necessary to tell a fib. "Have

"I know, once for all." said Sally In
a changed voice. "That is why I want

I'll tell you my little story. I don't

you this morning. We shall see."
"Is It ii sad story, dearV" I asked.
"Yes. It's sad."
"Perhaps It may end well yet.
though." I tried t comfort her.
Sally shook her lu:;;i. "It cnu't iu

nu Is that It was my owu fault But
I uidn't understand the relntlvo value

"Ami 1 should love to hear your
story If It won't make you too sad
thinking of It," I said.
"Oh. I tin i always thinking of It. lt'k
never really out of toy mind for r.

undertone. Just as when yon live near
the sea there's always the sound of l ho
waves underlying every other sound,
though you mayn't be listening fir it."
"Then tell me." 1 said.
"Not yet. 1 haven't asked you the
questions yet which will show me
when you answer them whether yob
need to hear the story or not. Could
you imagine yourself marryirg with
out first being In love?"
"No-o," I said thoughtfully. "Not
when It really came to It. But Vie
says that's all iiciiseii-v; that no wo
man, i:o matter how much she thinks
herself In love, ever stop In love with
her husband. The thing U t marry a
man who will let you do as you like,

about her advice aud not care whether

Is strong and clever enough to take

Tbe minute she said that the Image
of Jim Brett rose up before my eyes.

of bumble birth, that tbe girl he mar

Better Not Get
Dyspepsia
If you can help it Kodol prevent Dyipepsia, by
effectually helping Nature to Relieve Indigestion.
But don't trifle with Indigestion.
A great many people wbo have
trifled with Indigestion, have been
orry ' for It when nervous or
chronio dyspepsia resulted, and
they have not been able to cure It.
Use Kodol and prevent having
Dyspepsia.
Everyone Is subject to Indiges
tion. Stomach derangement follows
stomach abuse, just as naturally
and Just as surely as a sound and
healthy stomach results upon the
taking of KodoL
When you experience sourness
ot stomach, belching of gas and
nauseating fluid, bloated sensation,
gnawing pain In tbe pit of the
stomach, heart burn (so-called),
diarrhoea, headaches, dullness or
cbronlo tired feeling you need Ko
dol. And then the quicker you take
Kodol tbe better. Eat what you
want, let Kodol digest it.
Ordinary pepsin "dyspepsia tab
lets." physics, etc, are not likely
to be of much benefit to you, la
digestive ailments. Pepsin Is only
a partial digester nd physics are
not digesters at all.
Kodol Is a perfect digester. If
you could see Kodol digesting every
particle of food, of all kinds, In the
glass test-tubes In our laboratories,
you would know this Just as well
as we do.
Nature and Kodol will always
cure a sick stomach but la order
to be cured, the stomach must rest.
That Is what Kodol does rests the
stomach, while the stomach get
well. Just as simple as A, D, C.
