"If F can get away, could we meet later T” ‘•How about your huabandT Dr am 1 being unsophisticated? In ypur world perhaps husbands , and .wives can slip away any time Is that it?” -Not exactly," said Donna. "But Guido won’t missjme. It's tmportant that I talk to you." "Okay, say where and when." i "I have a chalet, or, rather, my old French governess has a chalet, on the road above the Waldschloss. The sign on it says Beau Be jour. The doori is left open. You can walk right in. I'll b? there at twelve, or as soon as possible after that." | ; “It’s considerate of you to buy homes for your old retainers," said Pete dryly. "But does the lady ckre to have you meet men there ? Doesn’t it disturb her?" • “Mademoiselle Sofia is eighty apd wears an ear trumpet-—but nbt to bed. She has known me all my life and doesn’t worry about whom I meet, ori when.” “If 1 recall the story In detail, she trusted you too far once,”; he said ironically. "Ydu slipped out °h * ier l°hfit enough to run away apd marry a guy in Harrison. New York, before the era of the tljree-day wait."

Donna swallowed hard. Control, tliat was the thing. “Yes,", she aircod coolly. “But Mademoiselle realized 1 learned my lesson from ' t « ht ” \ \?

Karl rose with hl» ciiatomary grace, but Marcia frit he wasn’t pkaaod at the turn the evening had taken, it had started go |fally and was ending on a curb ously somber nolo. When he had paid off tho sleigh driver at tho Waldschloss entrance, and the chorus of “Good-nights’* was over, be took Marcia's arm. “Let’s ‘not go tn ‘quite yet," he murmured. “It's,early.” “But I want to am down the it.!' ■ .
