Stella could not see anything in- spiring about bolting In early pickup supper and then hurrying downtown, with a middle-aged man who was as good as married already, to crowd in a department, store window for three hours and WMCI1 thirty thousand persons march past. She felt better, how- ever, when she had escaped from her cramped position at the win- dow and walked across Canal Street and down Royal and then lhmlllh St. Louis to Antoine's.
The place cards had already been lput around the table, and Stella surveyed these surreptitiously as she and the other girls took off iiheir wraps. Raoul. Patty. Drew, lstella, Gail. Amelina. Richard, '.Clarinda. she read, going from right to left. Well. naturally. Raoul would give Patty the sent of honor, .under the circumstances. and also ipince Drew beside her. Certainly fthere was no reason why he 'shnuld proclaim so insolently that
liter by putting Clarinds at his left. rand giving her. Stella, the most meaningless place at the table. Be- tween Drew. whose courtesy to her would not for one moment hide his :eal absorption in Patty. and Gail. who had never meant anything in any girl's life. and probably never would.
Stella jerked out her chair and sat down, taking no part in the gay chatter that was going on around her. The door at the rear of the room was flung open by a beaming waiter of rubicund count- enance, and Raoul. still in uniform. came into the room, followed by Drew. Gail and Richard. Raoul went first to Patty, greeting her with the affection which he would show a valued friend. Then he went gaily from Clarinds. to Am- ellna. thanking them for coming. Reaching Stella last of all, he re- marked that they were all im- mensely honored by having a prima donna at their little guber-

By the time the poulet en co- cotta came on, everyone at the table. with the exception of Stella. had taken a lively part in the con- versation. And now Raoul turned to her pointedly. "This is all mighty interesting. but haven't we had enough of this local talk now? Are the lights on Broadway as bright as ever, Stella?”
She accepted the remark as it challenge. "Brighter and brighter all the time." she answered gaily.
"And what about the local girl who made good-the Story of Stel- la the Star?"
"Don't be silly. You know I'm not a star," she answered. "I'm slated to understudy several of the top liners in the good roles I sang

"Why. it's sure to be!" exclaimed confidently, "And isn't there a chance that you might come to New Orleans in the spring. when we have our three-day seas- on here?”
"Th9Fe might be. But I haven't thought that far ahead yet. or course I've been busy getting set- Ive found the cunningest

While he was speaking. the rub- icund waiter brought in an omel- ette souflee, delicately browned and encircled with the words, "Hail to You, Fat and Drew." executed in snowy meringue. It was put down in. front of Patty for her to ad- mire. Ind afterward it was served and eaten to the accompaniment of running chatter about wedding mans. It was understood, wasn't it. that the rehearsal was to be the next evening at nine? They were all to come to supper at the raised cottage beforehand. Very informal. Not a feast like this. It had been wonderful. She didn't know hoiv to half express her thanks for such a lovely party. But she was afraid she would have to tear herself away from it now.
She was gone. with Drew's arm around her shoulder. confident. joyous, composed. Raoul was bend- ing over Clarinda. saying some- thing almost inaudible to her. But it sounded as if they were making arrangements to go dancing some. where. after the wedding rehear- sal-"It won't last long. Why, that's Just the edge of the evening." "All right. let's ask Amelina. and Rich- ard to come along. too.
"The party seems to be over, Stella. Shall I take you home?” It was Gail who spoke. The pai't:.' was indeed over. And Gail was taking her home.
