"Yes, she'll be down directly, Kate;

had been left by hand at the club, und j
aent on immediately by the hall porter. An exclamation o.' annoyance escaped him as lie cut open the envelope; his sister, however, was busy with the disposition of the breakfast cups and did not notice it. 'Was the party a success?" she asked; "did Valerie enjoy herself?" "A success? Yes, 1 suppose so." he answered without looking up; "there was a terrible crush, and the air was positively suffocating with the scent of tho ilowers, and the heat of the lights, so of course, Valerie eujoyed herself 1" "Of course rdio did!" said a voice from the door, and Ilex hastily put down his letter, while Miss Hamblin looked up expectantly. Valerie came slowly forward, un
willing to Iomj any of the effect of her ..." . .... f.. , .,w,-

"How lovely!" cried Miss Hamblin
with real enthusiasm as Her stster-in law drew near her. Toll. dark, with her soft liair fan
tasticallv caught on the crown of her head by a silver dagger, while stray
curls escaped in all directions, with her lilmy muslin gown clinging round her in its studiously simple elegance, she looked like, some delicate pastel which had just stepped from its frame. "Isn't it charming?" she said, with a laugh, an she suddenly dropped into her chair at the table. "Don't you like it. Hex?" she asked coquettish!'
Ah, your brother was tlicro?" asked
Miss llainblin, quickly.
"Yes; lie was the life and sou! of the
whole party, as usual! Do you know.

Mr. llumblin jerked his chair impatiently. "1 always wonder, Ilex, why it isthat
yon do not get on with (luido; he is so
easy to p leu sc. Hut somehow you two" Miss Hninblln broke in quickly; "Who else whs at Lady Mcrcdyth's. Valerie?' "Oh, you'll see the whole list in the Morning I'ost, dear. Hut, as usunl, the one person I wanted to see was not there." v "And who was that?" "Mrs. Lascelles." I'.otli Hex mid his sister looked up sharply. "Mrs. Lascelles?" "Yes. Guido introduced us the other day in the park! She is perfectly
charming, and a groat friend of his. Miss llainblin ildgeted nervously with the cups, and linmblin threw down his serviette so impatiently that it jerked to the floor some of his opened letters; an envelope lluttering to Valerie's feet, she stooped and picked it up.
"Why, Ilex, who is this from?' she
asked, curiously, glancing at the delicate feminine writing, under which, in
the club porter's clumsy hand, was the home address.
llainblin frowned angrily. "It's a bubincss letter," he answered,
shortly.
"Oh," and Valerie was about to put it down when hor eye caught the gilt monogram "S. L," "I didn't know business people wrote on paper like this, they don't in Italy," she added quietlv. then, turning to Miss llainblin, but still retaining the envelope, she

When, after a few minutes, she returned, Valerie was still in the sanw position, only her face was a little harder, her lips a little more set. "My dear Valerie." she said, patting a hand on her shoulder, "will you listen to me?" "Excuse me, fvatc," replied Mrv Hamblin; "you are very kind, out this is a matter between Hex and me, and no one else has anything to do with it." "Oh. yes, they have. And I'm going to tell you how. Now, ray dear little sister. I am such a very old woman
next to you, that you must listen to me. 1 hax-e wanted Ilex to tell you about it long ago, but he was afraid of hurting yon, and " "Oh, I know, we are not supnovjd to concern ourselves about our husband's past; but to think, Kate, that we hare
not been married a year, and she writes
to him'."
There was a tremble in the voice
which touched Kate.
Mrs. Lascelles? Oh, but she hasn't
much to do tvith the matter."
The tears which had been gathering in Valerie's eyes dried suddeuly as she gave an ugly little laugh. "Of course not! That's why Uex wouldn't show me the letter!" "Would von like to see it?" asked

hers last night. Had anybody ever made love to Kate, .'.he wondered? ICate could never have been pretty;
