“Why, what’s this?” said the mod¬

fore the book was returned to its own¬

in the back and all in your handwriting
too.” b
The hostess laughed. “Do you want
to know what these names are?” she
asked. “Well, I suppose I might make
a confession. They are names of
guests, all right, but of another kind.
