Jocelyn Harlowe's first ball gown
—it was, for a costume ball — was
■white, as all first ball gowns proba-
bly should be. Standing sheathed
in all this purity of color Jocelyn h*r
self had a look of sleek brilliance
* A - -which did not express her age, her
simplicity or her profound lack of
all worldly experience. \ h
It was not the convent child s fault
that she looked so uncorventual. She
*as really ignorant., a veritable no-
vice in living, but there was in her
blood and Jn her brain a swift rebel-
liowematurity to which her body had
subtly shaped itself.
A husband in her mind. It must
be managed quickly before Jocelyn
"was fully awakened to reality. She
must be made to long for it ignoran-
tly as a release. If,marriage, if this
man, could be presented to her as
"You are not like the othei
Jocelyn murmured, "They're very
nice."
Marcella'* hand fell upon hers and
tightened sternly. ' , « .
"I am the judge of niceness.".
And Jocelyn sat still under that
touch. __"
Often Felix.Kent came in to see
them. During his visits in the living
room Marcella was a constant chap-
eron.; Jocelyn would play her piano
or sit with hey eyes down listening
to her mother's hard manufactured
conversation with an older man.
She had never before studied a
man at such dose quarters. Felix
Kent was a man shapely in every fi-
ber from her thrilled self. The con-
vert child felt this difference in all
her.nerveB and pulses. ;
There camer-an evening -when-Mft^
cella left ±h^ alon.
Jocelyn was at her piano dutifully
executing a commanded melody. It
was..intricate and hfld all her atten-
tion. She did not know that she had
been left unchaperoned. in the room
with Felix Kent. W - : i
He came and stood close to her
leaning tm the piano. In the glim
severity of evening dri&r he looked
sleek and attractive, like a panther.
Hia eyes were now filled with their
extraordinary incandenCfence

The question sounded so like mere
Childishness that" FeKx laughed out,
and again, but ve^y carefully, put his
arm about her. She came to him-
but not so softly, so completely ,as
before.
"You shall have everything," prom
ised the Jack qt Diamonds.
The engagement of 1 Miss Jocelyn
Harlowe of New York City to Mr,
Felix Kent of Chicago yith all possi-
ble other details of information was
presently in due form announced.
And Jocelyn wore upon her third
finger a diamond as splendid as °
star
"You shall be married in the spring
after a four months' engagement'*
Marcella promised. Later there were
evenings,, however, when Felix' new
role of restraint was difficult to
maintain. On one such evening ho
left Jocelyn abruptly 'with a manu-
factured excuse.
She went back into v the ropm and
sat down by her piano^ brooding.
The door from th? passage which
led back toward the. bedrooms open-
ed softly, Jocelyn whirled about,
surprised. She could see no one. But
the door, had moved.
She was startled.
^Therf she saw him, coming round a
great throne of a chair which had
interposed between them* The crip-
ple. The little bent man, sidelong,
with bright eager eyes.
" Jocelyn would have sCreamed but
he arrested her with, speech.
"Don't be frightened, Jocelyn," he
saidf gently'in a-voice full of plea-
santness, "I wouldn't scare—I would-
n't hurt you for the world You
see, you poor'little child, I am your
father." . -
And Jocelyn recognized him.
For years Jocelyn had had a pho-

''Do you think you can love me?"
"1 dn't know Monsieur."
He laughed in soft delight and
drew closer.
"I may put my arm around you,
loveliest ?" • -..
She made no movement nor sound
but he, interpreting her silence, did
draw her to him and she came softly
cuddenly so that all of her young bo-
dy seemed to be his own. Then he
kissed her mouth.
At that^ she was up and at . the
chair and spoke to her, jocelyn was
therefore able to identify him.
"I'm not afraid of you," she said—
a queer first speech for child to pa-
rent.

the supper-partner Marcella had de-
sired. This' was Felix Kent, dressed
iis the Jack of Diamonds, and with
his regular Saxon face and large eyes
curiously resembling that convention-
alized gentleman of fortune.
"But you don't look it," he said,
seating himself beside flushed Juliet
at the small palmy rose table they
had taken for themselves. "You
don't look it and you don't act it and
you don't—yes, you do speak it. You
have a delicious little French accent.
And, well, ggjuething about the way
you move your lips and use your eyes
is different,, conventual. I'm not
going to be disappointed after all."
This was the address altogether dif
fentnt from any Jocelyn had yet re-
ceived. An older man, evidently." He
Condescended to her. Well, that was
of course to be expected.
"Mr. Kent," she said, "you have
really no right to any disappointment
have you? Because you can't have
an interest in me (there was shadow-
v delicate drumlroll on the r) ever
before tonighL." „
"You're wrong I've had an inter-

Jocelyn at her sweetest "Anl I have

pansies.
"Darling, I'm sorry. I beg your,
pardon. I know I frightened you.
Please do forgive'me." He felt f .s
though he had been sent back in a
dream to play the part of a Victor-
ian lover. Phrases came to him from
half-forgotten Old romantic novels:
"I won't do it again. You may take
your own time. I want you so: I
want you to marry me."
After a considerable silence Joce-
lyn composed herself. But she stay-
ed against her window, drawn up
