Ellen announced luncheon and we wsnt into the dining room. In its way it was as lovely es my liv- ing room. u room done In restful blues and grays, against which the dsrk mahogany shone and the sil- ver gleamod.

"What. happened?" My aunt set- tled down to the demI-tasse Ellen brought. her, and in spite of the fact that she claimed to have near- ly died of anxiety. she took some fruit from the centre-piece and bé- gan a second luncheon.

“Nothing. We quarreied again and I cams away.’

her firm sweet mouth was growing hard. Ncdda became h-andsomer every day, ‘but she no longer radi- ated a warm personality. She gilt tered with the herd cold radiance of a diamond. - Others hsd trials too.’ I looked out over the terraces to the sparkle of sun on the blue water. Neddu had done very well for herself.

"If one marries for Iovo—-" I be- gan. Her lip curled.

I'm going to be the social leader of the coun- try before I'm dead. As for him- well, I like him as well as I evsr d“... .

I smiled to myself. I fancied sf- ter all that Nedda cared more for her husband than she pretended. The very zeal with which she kept him Interested in her to the exclu- sion of everyone, proved that It was more than a desire to be everything to him. She was too leay u; work so hard for just that. The first carload of guests ep- peared. in time for luncheon, Nad- de moved away to greet them, s slender figure that walked with careful grace, In a gown of cream chiilfon and heavy filer. lacs, a fig- ure that suited exactly her terr- aced garden and white peacocks and her private strip of ocean.

It was the sort of week-end party Winthrop would have adored. scarcely saw Nsdds after the talk on the terrace. and was 8Iad I hsd_ been asked down the evening be fore the other guests came.

There were motor trips In the tennis and swim- ming for the younger guests who were still not afraid of a little sun- burn, and golf for the less active. We wore correct sports costumes In the morning, and dressed for the garden party that every afternoon became. We met. for tea. and scattered to put on new and ox- enslve gowns for dinner. and in the evening some of us danced and The men gam- bled in tbs enormous oak panelled smoking room, with the women gradually drifting in and joining ‘.110 games as the night want on_ We played until far in the morn- Ing, and met next day or rather that very day before luncheon, all of us nervously keyed up to the new program and only a few of us pale from the over-exertion of hav- ing a good time. But Nedda. and Nedda’; new place. were consider- ed a very great success.

I was assigned a suite of rooms in rose and blus and gilt, pieces of antique French furniture that Ned- da had paid thousands for. As I lay In bed and looked about the room, with all its restless lines and gill. and carvings and palillitd 6UP Ids, I suddenly wanted Mother Tay- lor's house. Restless though that was, it. was also homely-if. was

orossly. i. Colin laughed st that. and his ‘laugh. as usual, drove away my crossuess. '

"I'm an awful burden on you." I apologlzsl. ‘ti inflict all my moods on you. and if they're bad moods [you get me out of them."

"This nood seems unusually had," Odin remarked. . hunting about for his citzaretto case." Some thing should be done. What an. all those letters on Lhe table?" "Invitations to places I want to go."

Colin picked up the-mail, look- Ing at tho envelopes and dropping them one by one on the table again. At lest he held up a large square envelope addressed to me In ma~ culins handwriting, the letters OI which were all up and down lines. "This is evidently from the weak- est and most feminine woman you k-now." he observed. "Thai. sort of characisrlsss woman always dis- guises herself behind an aggress- ive handwriting. Go spend the week end with ihor and you'll come away pleased with your own strength of mind instead of dis- couraged with dt."

Iibegsn to laugh at that.

"It's from Nedda. I know her writing is affected, but she Isn't chsracterless. Theyire opening their new place on Long Island. Inngchamps. She wants me for a visit."

Colin answer was to go to my desk and hunt a time table. Before I could protest. he had wired sn acceptance and sent Ellen to pack my suitcases.

"If ‘this’ brings you any happi- nsss, you are Iucky," I answered. "But I don't believe it doesf’ Neddu laughed. leaning back In bsr chair, sud using her parasol to tease ber prize Chow which is on the terrace at her fest, ' "What s. lot o’ odd things have happened to the three of us In the last few years- to you and Shir- ley and myself." she answered. "I'm luckiest and happiest, because I was cold blooded about the whole only a few years sgo we were at thing. Do you remember, Connie. school and used to slip away from Mademoiselle In recreation hours, to buy candy at the village?" The dog. worried by her parasol got up and moved away from her.

"She was happy enough-J’

"For a year or so. Sho got tired enough of her romantic young beg- gar. and her poor and virutous life. But she was clever enough not to let her family know It, so she made them settle s handsome allowance on her before she promised to leave him."

MOTHER TAYIJI)R'S PLAN . Chapter 99

At Nedda's style of house party. Sunday passed like any other day. No one thought of going to church I walked over to a nearby village with Percy Kano, one of the tinni- tucucd young men whom Nedda al- ways koptbn hand to insure the success of her parties. Kane was an amateur artist with really some ability, but too much money and not. enough energy to develop his talent. He made me a clever sketch of the village street and church. l-t rsnrindod him of s place he knew in Devonsbire, he said. Many of the outof-tho-wsy little towns on 1mg Island have this Old World charm. But. we did not go In the church: Instead we wandered back for the very smart luncheon that awaited us in Noddafs house. And Monday morning I left. with a little feeling of relief at. getting sway from her oppressive magnifi- cenco_ But even -my own apartment. poor in comparion to Nedda's place, was oppressive. I stood on the clmhloned window seal. to l.hrow open the studio window, and standing so, looked north ovor the city. Roof after roof In dull red threw beck a dazzling host that hurl. to look at; here and there a modern upervment house. square and ugly In its newness. rose above tho old fashioned rows of houses. The only relief was to bho loft where the green tress of Central Perk made s cool oasis. I started a note to Mrsnndsrson asking for Connie, thought better of it and went there myself. l had
