Even if her heart was full of
Terry Shannon, Vernon would have
been blind if she hadn’t seen the in-
terested looks that earns their way.
Her happiness brought added eo
quetry to her.
The Prince had a flattering way
of leaning towards her as they
talked. He was immaculately
proomed. Ho looked as though ho
tad been poured into his evening
clothes, they fitted so perfectly. She
could see him in the mirror when
she turned her heed. That elegant
dip at the waistline—awfully for-
eign and fascinating—his square
shoulders—(she didn’t note that
they were padded) — the sleek,
smart way his blond hair was
brushed back.
“You make a long stay in New
York?" he was asking Vernon
eagerly. His voice was low and
throaty. It caressed her. There was
a curious vibrance in it.

His staccato accent, with the me-
ticulous stressing of each syllable,
intrigued her. A new specimen and
not an unpleasing one was Prince
Karinoff.
“Why on earth should ! bo a sen-
sation when Park Avenue literally
teems with debutantes?" Vernon
found herself asking eoquettiahly.

ran through her veins like a bright,

I In the midst of this wonderful
dream, she heard me sound of foot-
steps mounting the stairease.
“Terry, let go! People coming!
Quickly!’1 she breathed.
They drew apart fust in the nick
of time as Mrs Mertina de Bray,
accompanied by -a meticulously-
dressed, blond, good-looking man in
the middle thirties appeared at the
head of the stairs.
“So we meet again? Isn’t thia de-
lightful? I do hope we're not in-
truding?” gushed Mrs. do Bray,
extending a hand that was elegant-
ly encased almost to the shoulder in
a wrinkly glove of turquoiao-blue
suede. She smiled dazzlingly on
Vernon and on Terry. “May I pre-
sent Prince Ivan Karinoff? I’ve
been raving to him about the now
beauty who has just dawned on us!
He’s anxious to meet you, Mias Ty-
son."
The Prince clicked hie heels to-

Hie lips felt like the
of a butterfly as they brushed

She blinked, trying to pull herself
together. Terry’s divine kieses
like molten fire—and then this anti-
climax !
“How do you do? This to Mr.
Shannon—Mrs. de Brae—" she
found herself saying mechanically.
M re. de Bray gave Terry a swift
upward glance. Vernon saw some-
thing spring into her eyes. “Like a
cat after a luscious canary!” she
thought afterwards, trying to ana-
lyze that predatory expression.
“Will you rive me the pleasure of
this dance?” I—-—" - . —

She, ».’• rt.istered What to say?
"Let’s al! go down.” she suggested.
She didn’t use the fleeting, erook-
ed little quirk to Mrs de Bray’s
beautifully routed lipa at that mo-
ment. She took the Prince’s prof-
fered arm. and went down the stair-
case with him.
He was hot as tall as Terry, but
he did dance beautifully. He mover!
with a sinuous grace, with a sort of
fluid motion. A peraonable-looHng
man, with an aristocratic profile.
More guests had arrived la. the in-
terim of the upstairs session—and
lots of people were watching them.
“There’s Prince Karinoff. Mem
ber of one of the oldest families of
Russia. Who’s the glittering girl
with him?" she hoara someone In-
quire.
"Haven’t thc foggiest notion!”
“Thio is your life, your setting,"
ho repeated, drawing Me hand tmek
from bars and getting out, hto eira-

Returning to her hotel, The Splen-
