Gypsy was Just carrying the baby's luncheon upstairs. Clytie tiail nmA It nnt ti nra Mmalnnil Bow only the task of seeing that David tucked It away as his mother nainataklnelv snaoned It Into his small month. He was baring a few spoonsful of pureed carrots and tome beet Juice. Clytia came panting after, ber. There's a lady asking tor you. His' Gypsy. She says she'll come BP it you're busy." Clytie produced a thin. Ivory olored card. "Mrs. Derek Bliss." "Oh, bring her up, of course." rnXrvst frowned. How odd how extremely oddl Lila rushed in upon her a mo- ' snant later, filling the big, high celled room with scent and a feel sag of excitement. The shades In the guest room had been raised to the top to allow every bit of morning sun to stream in. It lent . the room a cheerful aspect but there was no disguising the ahab fciness of the tan carpet nor the ' fact that the wallpaper, with its roses and faded blue garlands, had long since been outmoded. David sat erect In his high chair, . beating at the tray with a mother of pearl rattle to which were at tached three silver bells. "Ify dear, I'm so ashamed, barging In on yon like this," Lila began. Gypsy silenced her. Lila was positively emaciated her eyes were like great pools in her face and not all the cosmetics am tha world could have hidden jthe telltale circles under her eyes. "Go ahead. I'll watch," Lila said. She settled herself in the old rocker as Gypsy alternately coaxed and bullied her son into Mm show of interest in his food. (The talk was necessarily desul tory. Meantime Gypsy's thought roved wildly to the state of the family larder. Common courtesy demanded that Ula be asked to ranch. But it was Saturday. There would be, of a certainty, tha usual homely meal of tomato soup and deviled ham sand wiches. Could one, Gypsy thought, caught between laughter and tears, invite Lila to sit down to that? ' CHE squared her shoulders. "Bes, ask Clytie to my another place, Llla's staying." . "No Indeed I'm not. I eouldnt eat a bite." Lila was feverishly twisting a lacy handkerchief. "I only wanted to see yoa tor a mo ment, Gypsy." "If touH wait until I tuck this young man away," Gypsy began doubtfully. Already David was nodding In his place. She mopped sticky little face and hands nd trundled him off into her sls- er's cnblcle where, in a paradise drawn shades, he collapsed nto that divine, untroubled sleep small babyhood. Gypsy, drop ping a light kiss on his downy mead, envied him. I "I wonder it you would do something for me," Lila began (hesitatingly. "I I'm in rather a Jam, Gypsy. The fact Is well, I can trust you; I'll tell you the (whole thing. Marko and I are going to be married as soon as can get a divorce." Gypsy simply looked at her and Ula had the grace to flush. "Oh, I know what you mean, I know what you're thinking," he said with some heat. "But Bt isn't true. Marko he's really the man for me, Gypsy. He under stands me. Derek never did. He doesn't Ilka our lite nor my friends nor anything r . ."' "It's really none of my busi ness," Gypsy said with distaste. "But, since you tell me about It, perhaps I may say I think you're making a great mlBtake." "Say anything you like, think anything you like," Lila urged in soft, wheedling voice. "But do something for me, darling. There's a good girl I I was driv ing in from Pompton Lakes and suddenly I thought ot you. I said te myself, Ton can trust Gypsy. She'll not give you away." "Well?" Gypsy was waiting. Che felt a little sick over the whole thing. "I want to get Marko at his office," Lila rushed on. "The thing is, I don't want to call my self. The operator knows my voice naturally. Marko advises me to be careful. We don't want any scandal. Ton call for me, darling; glva my message. That's all I ask. Then I will go straight away and not bother you any mora. But don't Judge me too harshly. Gyps. This thing Just happened. Yoa know how those thlags dot" a rpBB words recalled Gypsy's own problem and she frowned.' "I suppose I do." "Soma marriages Just natur ally turn out well," Lila observed smoothly. "Like yours, for In stance. People with the same In terests the same Ideas." She waved her band to HlUBtrate what he meant. . . "What do you want ma to say to Marko?" ,, Gypsy inquired, anxious to have tha task over and onewWv MABEL ' Lila lifted her beautiful eyes In a vague smile. "Tell him that I'll be at tha Kits, at Ore, the usual place," she said slowly. "Say I couldn't possibly get away before and that I wasn't able to wire. Too many people about Say I got the flowers and they were lovely. And, oh, ot course, I want to pay for that city call I" Gypsy demurred. The whole thing made her feel a party to some sordid affair. Why was she doing this for LllaT Why didn't she refuse! Ah, but when they had been little girls together LUa had done many charming and gracious things for hor. You didn't rofusa your friends favors Just because they behaved in a manner you considered unbecom ing. "I can't do it now. I'll have to watt until Mother takes her nap," Gypsy explained. Lila had to be satisfied with that She had, she said, an appointment at the hair dresser's In an hour and the chauffeur (a new ono) would Just be able to make It So aba went away, lovely and suave and Just a little smug. About this time Tom was rising from his desk in tha office and glancing at the clock to make aura he would be able to catch the tarry which connected with the 1:67 train at Jersey City. He was anxious not to miss it Gypsy would be waiting and aha had seemed oddly touchy recently about small things. When he waa lata she seemed suspicious and bitter, not like her old self at alt The telephone., rang as he reached tor his coat and one ot tha stenographers in the outer office answered it "For you, Mr. Weaver." She is a toothy girl in blue with a friendly air, and he smiled at her. For the thousandth time the stenographer reflected what an enviable position Mr. Tom Weav er's wife had. Some girls had all the luck. Tom held tha telephone, cradle close and said hello. His expres sion changed slightly, took on a grimmer aspect "Sorry," he sold. I can t make it I'm Just leaving." - . pVIDENTLY the person at the -1-J other end waa importunate, because he had to repeat his ex cuses over and over. When he put the Instrument down he looked very grim Indeed. The girl in blue wondered mildly what had happened to upset him. That woman for it was a woman's voice that had asked for him must have been a pest of some kind. It wasn't like Mr. . Weaver to go for the day without saying good-by. Tom's long legs cleared the dis tance between subway and ferry bouse quickly. He was panting aa the boat nosed its way out ot the slip. This commuting was no easy Job, be thought watching the water gUde past He would like, for Gypsy's sake, to have a honse somewhere near Blue Hills. She could see the family of tener then. Maybe she wouldn't be so lonely. She was cooped np in that apart ment all day with no one but the baby to talk to. It wasn't much fun. For all his haste, he missed the train he had tried to catch. It was moving out ot the station Just as he rushed through the stile. What rotten luck! There was a wait of halt an hour befora the next one and Gypsy would be meeting him with the car. She might think he was not coming at all. It was not his fault; a chain of circumstances had led up to the telephone call, but It would be difficult to ' explain all this to Gypsy. She would not understand. might not even listen. . He went into a telephone booth and gave the number ot the Mor- ell house. It would help matters if he caught Gypsy before' ahe left for the station. She would know he was on his way. As he waited he whistled softly. Surely he was making a mountain out ot a molehill. Gypsy was normally the sweetest and most reasonable being imaginable. Whatever he had done or had failed to do she would forgive and understand. He heard a buzzing, the opera tor's voice. Then Gypsy's clear tones came to him, He smiled, was Jnst about to speak, but real ized in time that he had broken into a connection. Gypsy said very .distinctly, 'Marko? I have a message for you. It's rather Important The flowers came, and they ware lovely . . .'" . Tom pnt the receiver on the hook. The man waiting for his turn at the booth stared curi ously. "Fellow looked mighty funny to me," be said later to his companion. - "Looked as it he'd had bad news."
