Lady By CN.6 A. M. WILLIAMSON O o o Chapter ft N the afternoon Mn. Gh Kay and I, In our thin nest muslins, went out In the motor. W whined up Fifth avenue for aer eral "blocks" (aa aba called them), turned Into an txpenalrt looking side atreet aud stopped before oe of the most enormous bulldtitf I rer saw In my life. It seemed only half finished, for the steel columns of fts skeleton were still visible around the ground floor aud the street before ft was still cluttered with bricks and boards and rubbish. In the hallway ten were working like active animals to an Immense cage. Suddenly from among them I saw emerge a beauti fully dressed little girl foaming with fcce frills, led by a trained uurM In a gray and white uniform. They were actually tein let out of the lift, which had swooped down with appalling wlftness by h man lu livery "Good beavers." I exclaimed, "what queer place for a child and its nurse o be In." "My dear girl, they live there," aald Irs. Ess Kay rather scornfully. "Tnat Sirs. Harvey Itichmouut Taylour'a Bttle Rosemary with her nurse." "People live ou top of tho.se poles Bke Jack In a toaustalk!" I exclaimed. "How appalling." As 1 looked through the hallway up prang the lift oace more, fierce and awlft as one of the rockets which I , ased as a child to be afraid might strike the angels. A minute of sus pense aud It swooped down again with J two girls lu it 1 felt as if It were thing I oughtn't to be seeiug some how; it was so much like spying on the digestive oppugn?. of a skeletou. "You see." epl:::ued Mrs. Ess Kay, "the Taylours uid other people were rightfv.l'y rnriji:s to get In.

"Over here, only aotnmou people live in flats; our sort Wave 'apartments.' " "It's just the other way round with met." I explained "Those who have fats would be furious if you said they ved lu apartments." "Tou English ore so quaint in some ways." remarked Mrs. Ess Kay, and Biougb I Uklu't answer, 1 was sur prised.

There were a good many people lu It wheu we got lu, which annoyed Mrs. Ess Kay so much that she wished she had borrowed a private car from a friend who would have loved lending It. But 1 was glad she uadu't, for lu people were part of the Tuu. Mrs. Ess Kay was sure they were uo- bodies because she didn't happeu to know uuy of their faces, but perhaps they were thinking the same thing about her.

We tore through such charming places with fascinating houses built of wood, among parks of feathery green trees, that 1 wus sure Newport could bo no prettier, but Mrs. Ess Kay spoiled the most picturesque oue for me by saying thut it wus practically settled by retired butchers and tailors.
