1 -waited an hour very uneasily. Then
I went <«.t to see Mrs. Gibson.again.
Sire knew nothing of her; said sire
walked off talking with Sutherland and
some young ladies after tho dnro.
At this moment on* of fhoj^ung la-
rtirs mine in and mid she had returned
witlji Rose and-Sutherland just before I
drove tip and thought Rose must be In
her own room dressing for the hop.
I went again. Thefe was Hid dress she
was (o wear, hut no Rose. I was getting

I- went to Mrs. Borrowe. Sho was
frightenetl too. She asked me if I had
perfect confidence in Rose, that she
could not be decohing mo.
‘•Perfect, perfect."
"Then this Ls a plot to annoy you like
all the rest. Now bo calm; you must
dress and go to tire hop tonight. Tell ev
erybody that Row did tret come because
tire imd a headache. Be perfectly cool
about-lt, nnd 1 will look for Rose. She
is safe, depend upon it, but if you wish
to nave her and yourself a terrible scan

"Do what you like, Mntilde."
So Matilda produced from her own
magazines Ixlttlcs and boxes and pro
ceeded to make mo up. A drawing s -n-
gation of tlie skin convinced me that a
color "charming, natural," like that
which blooiiKsl jierpotoally on the check
