gave her instructions."Very good. Madam." rejoined

Lewis. like the excellent servantthat he was. though he held hisown opinions as to the change ofdirection.The gardens of the beautiful

country inn were full of fashion¬able people when they arrivedLorraine nodded right and leftand said aiiilv to the head waiteias she slipped him a five-doilaibill unseen by Jimmy: Put an¬

other table on the edge of thedance floor, please."A young sickle ot moon hung in

the dark blue sky. and fountainswith colored floodlights playing onthem splashed rhythmically. ;

kaleidoscope of beauty.There were fairy lamps upoi

the trees, and a great splash olught beat down cn the orchestra.

Flowers bloomed everywhere, inbeds upon the lawn, in silver vases

cn the little tables that gleamedwith the sheen cf silver and chinaand cutlery an dglass-ware.

"Let's dance." said Lorrainequickly, "that glorious music sim¬ply demands that we dance. Jim¬my!"He put an arm about her on the

polushed platform, under the sickhmccn. and they moved rhythmi¬cally together in the strains of :

waltz by Strauss.A bare five minutes later, h

aughmg up at her partner, a

tnndsome. dissipated-looking mar.n evening clothes . .

The girl was Luana Waters!? * ?

Luana and "Handsome" had>cen at the Inn a couple cf hours>efore Jimmy arrived. They hadined end wined there and. be-ause siic was miserable about jfimmy. the usually abstemious Lu¬na had had a good deal of cham-jagne. hoping to drive her blackncod off.What was the boy to her? Why

oust she think cf him? Yvonne'.1amonition came back to her. that..hen one was young and bcauti-ul. it was foolish to waste one's:me on a penniless youth.Besides, not once had Jimmy at-

empted to make love to her. nor

>ecausc of her unfortunate con-

lection with the man who .vas

tow in prison and from whom ^he.vas soon to get an annulment.But as the gorgeous days of

Spring slipped by. memory of Ger-.ld Bruton faded. In new scenes

11 a wonderful town where she was

?pt inordinately busy all day longnci at nights, when her job de¬manded that she step out to smar;unctions and amusing night clubsnd shows, one had no t'-ic forireoding on the past.Which was fortunate.But Youth clamored in the

Springtime. Against her own voli-icn. Lu.,na knew she was fallingn love . . .

Did he love her in return?He gave no sign.Wasn't it likely that he had r

rirl down South where he cam?

rom? That he might even be priately engaged to her, for all shi.new about him?Or was beautiful Mrs. Joel Van

lavecr beginning to fill his hori¬zon with her alluring knowledge o!he world. her sophisticated se¬

ductiveness?As she stepped out cf the shoi

hat evening and across the side-'n!k cf Fifth Avenue to "Hand-ome" and his waiting car. thelirery was slid upon her. thoughhe did not show it."Handscinc" sprang forward,

lis white teeth gieamed in hi:unburned face. Everything r.bou!'.im shone, from his snowy shirlrent with the gleaming pearl irhe center, to his hair that lookedike poiishcd lacquer and the glos-iy shine cf his tall silk hat."I'm in luck. Beautiful. Now

¦/hither away?""To the Spearhead Inn. please

It's the Spring opening or some-

hing. It'll be nice and cool there,anyway."He tucked Luana into his long

ow-slung machine as though shevere a bit of Dresden china, and

night break. He was a past mas¬

ter at "attentions". He tucked her

diver brocaded wrap about her

shoulders, drew a fur robe to hersnces. and set upon them a big.vhite card-board box from theflorist's."What are they. 'Handsome'?""Orchids. A'most as luscious-

ooking as the gill that's going to

//ear them."She said, smiling her thanks:

.My gown's orchid.""I'm a magician," grinnedHandsome", "I chose right." (

He pressed the starter of the car,

,ct in the clutch and they shot upthe Avenue to Central Park.The lights of the great slcy-

;crapers blinked starrily at themas thoy sped through the trees.The soft airs of Spring fanned hercheeks and blew back a featheryitt'e curl or two. "Handsome" fit-ted his big back lower in the seatso that his shoulder came closeagainst Luana's as he drove."A night for love. Luana. You.

tnd the moon, and the night.""Hew unoriginal, .Handsome'!" jThey couldn't get round her

now, these men with their blur-ley and shallow compliments!They sped across the Park to

/Vest 7Jnd Street, and over to the,Hudson River. Cars were stream-ng up the Drive. To the left ofthem, ships rede at anchor, fas-1cinating in the dusk, and lightsgleamed across the water from the?a dsnties cn the Jersey side.A feeling cf case and luxury

crept over the girl at "Hand-!some's" side.He didn't have to think of men-

ey. He exuded money. How picas-ant it must be to be able lo buyalmost anything one fancied! This

long. low-slung car with its!chromium fittings and silver gad-1gels was symbolic of the man.She stole r. quick side look at

him.He had been well nicknamed

"Handsome", though to her mindhis face was not nearly so attrac-tivc as Jimmy Randolph's.Where Jimmy was clean-cut,

there was a certain hint of pul'fi-ness in Ilandsome's good looks. Hewas groomed to the last degree, it's jtrue, but already there was a slightsagging under the chin that wasico full, and signs of dissipationaround his sleepy black eyes.To seine girls, this evidence of |

loo gay a life might have been at¬tractive but, after her experiencewith Gerald Brutcn, it put Luanaon her guard."Eewarc the fleshpots cf

Egypt!" she said to herself, halfhumorously, half serious.But there was no reason why

she shouldn't tonight luxuriate in j"Handsome's" car, and orchids,and the gcod time he was willingand anxious to supply.
