The sum- mers'were not hard to arrange. Edith and Annabel adjourned to the Towne cottage on an island in Maine -and Frederick went up for weekends week-ends and for the month of August. Edith spent much time out-of-doors with her young friends. She was rather fond of her Uncle Fred, but he did not loom large on the horizon of her youthful occupations. Then came her winter at home, and her consequent engagement to 1 Delafleld Simms. It was because of Uncle Fred that she became engaged. en-gaged. She simply didn't want to live with him any more. She felt that Uncle Fred would be glad to . have her go, and the feeling was 1 mutual. She was an elephant on his hnnds Naturally. He was a great I nid dpar. but he was a Turk. He I didn't know it, of course. -But his ideas of being master of his own ' house were perfectly archaic, cous j in Annabel and the servants, and ' everybody in his office simply hung i on his words, and Edith wouldn't I hang. She came into his bachelor Paradise like a rather troublesome ' Eve. and demanded her share of the universe. He didn't like it and there you were. It was really Uncle Fred who wanted her to marry Delafleld Simms. He talked about it a lot. At first Edith wouldn't listen. But Del afield was Dersistent and patient. He came gradually to be as much of a part of her everyday life as the meals she ate or the car she drove. Uncle Fred was always inviting him. He was forever on hand, and when he wasn't she missed him. They felt for each other, she de cided, the thing called "love.". It was not, perhaps, the romance which one found in hnnks. But she had been taught carefully at college to distrust romance. The emphasis had been laid on the transient quality qual-ity of adolescent emotion. One married mar-ried for the sake of the race, and one chose, quite logically, with one's head instead, as in the old days, with the heart So there you had it Delafleld was eligible. He was healthy, had brains enough, an acceptable code ol morals and was willing to let her have her own way. If there were moments whea Edith wondered won-dered if this program was adequate to wedded bliss, she put the thought aside. She and Delafleld liked each other no end. Why worry? And really at times Uncle Fred was impossible. His mother had wed until he was thirty-five, she had adored him. and had passed on i to Cousin Annabel and to the old rvants in the house the formula by which she had made her son ' aPPy. Her one fear had been that '"'Em marry. He was extreme-v extreme-v popular, much sought after. But 6e had kept his heart at home. His sweetheart, he had often said, was 'lver-haired and over 'sixty. He "asked in her approbation; was soed and sustained by it Then she had died, and Edith had rcie. and things had been differ- siSLdifference had beea delon- aozen ways. Edith was but she 'Dear Uncle m1 mm -7 iniilll I , v,--v "Bob is utterly at sea.' hreak all the rules. In Uncle Fred s house everything runs by clockworK, and it is he who winds ttie ciock. Their engagement was one of mu tual freedom. Edith did as sne pleased, Delafleld did as he pleased. They rarely clashed. And as the wedding day approached, they were pleasantly complacent Delafleld, dictating a letter one day. to Frederick Towne's stenographer, stenogra-pher, spoke of his complacency. He was writing to Bob Sterling, who was to be his best man, and wno chared his aoartment in New York. Delafleld was an orphan, and had big money interests. He felt that wochintton was tame compared to the metropolis. He and Edith were n live one block east of Fifth Ave nue, in a house that he had bought for her, tirvari ho was in Washington he IT llVu " ' occupied a desk in Frederick s office. of-fice.

She harl soft brown hair, and ner prome, aa he bent over her book, was here, 'Anything but orchids she doesn't like them,' " "But I've been sending her or chids every week." "Perhaps she didn't want to tell you' 'And vou think I should have some thing else for the wedding bouquet?" "I think she mieht like it better." There was a faint flush on her cheek. "What would you suggest?" "I can't be sure what Miss Towne would like." "What would you like?" intently. She considered it seriously her slender fingers clasped on her book. "I think," she told him, finally, "that if 1 were goina to marry a man I should want what he wanted." He laughed and leaned forward. "Good heavens, are there any wom en like that left in the world?" Her flush deepened, she rose and went towards the door. "Perhaps I shouldn't have said anything." His voice changed. "Indeed. I am glad you did." He had risen and now held the door open lor ner. "we men are stUDid creatures. I should never have found it out for myself." She went away, and he sat there thinking about her. Her impersonal imperson-al manner had always been perfect, and he had found her little flush charming. It was because of Lucy Logan, therefore, that Edith had white violets vio-lets instead of orchids in her wed ding bouquet And it was because, too, of Lucy Logan, that other things happened. Three of Editn's bridesmaids brides-maids were house-guests. Their names were Rosalind, Helen and Margaret They had. of course, last names, but these have nothing to do with the story. They had been F.dith'a classmates at college, and she had been somewhat democratic in her selection of them. "They are perfect dears. Uncle Fred. I'll have three cave-dwellers to balance them. Socially, I suppose, sup-pose, it will be a case of sheep and goats, but the goats are darling." Thev were, however, the six of them what Delafleld called a bunch of beauties. Their bridesmaid gowns were exquisite but unobtrusive The color scheme was blue and sil ver and the flowers, forget-me-nots and sweet t)eas. "It's a bit old fashioned." Edith said, "but I hate sensational effects." Neither the sheep nor the goats screed with her. Their ideas were different the goats holding out for something impressionistic, the sheep for ceremonial splendor. There was to be a wedding break fast at the house. Things were therefore eiven over early to the decorators and caterers, and coffee and rolls were served in everybody s room. - When the wedding bouquet arrived ar-rived Edith sought out her uncle in his study on the recond floor. "look at this," she said; "how in the world did it happen that he sent white violets? Did you tell him, Uncle Un-cle Fred?" "No." "Sure?" "Cross my heart." They had had their Joke about noi' nrchids. "If he knew how I hated them," Edith would say, and Uncle Fred would answer, Why don't you tell him?" Rut she had never told, because after all it didn't much matter, and if Delafleld felt that orchids were the nrooer thing, why muddle up his mind with her preferences? The wedding party was assembled i no of the side rooms. Belated 1U - - mioctc trickled in a thin stream to karris the great doors that opened and shut to admit them to the main 0,;tnrinm. A group of servants, laden with wraps, stood at the foot of the stairs. As soon as tne proces sion started they would go up Into the gallery to view the ceremony. In the small room was almost overpowering fragrance. The bridesmaids, in the filtered light, were a blur of rose and blue and white. There was much laughter, the sound of the organ through the thick walls. Then the ushers came in. "Where's Del?" The bridegroom was, it seemed, delayed. They waited. "Shall we telephone, Mr. Towne?" someone asked at last Frederick nodded. He and his stood aoart from the rest Edith was smiling but had little to say. She seemed separated from the others by the fact of the ap proaching mystery. The laughter had ceased; above the whispers came the tremulous echo of the organ. The usher who had gone to the telephone returned and drew Towne aside. "There's something queer about tt. I can't eet Del or Bob. They m a v be on the way. But the clerk seemed reticent." Til go to the 'phone myself," said Frederick. "Where Is it?" But he was saved the effort for someone, watching at the door, said, "Here they come," and the room seemed to sigh with relief as Bob Sterling entered. No one was with him, and he wore a worried frown. "May I speak to you, Mr. Towne? he asked. va;v ,ae standing bv the Window WUJVU "WW w - - U innirino nut at the old churchyard. The uneasiness which had infected the others had not touched ner. Slender and white she stood waiting. In a few minutes Del would walk up the aisle with her and they would be married. In her mind that program pro-gram was as fixed as the stars. And now her uncle approached and said something. "Edith, Del isn't coming" "Is he ill?" "I wish to heaven he were dead." "What do you mean, Uncle Fred?" "I'll tell you presently. But we must get away from this" His glance took in the changed scene. A blight had swept over those high young heads.
