o'clock snow began to fall and soon
the air was thick with whirling flakes,
The wind blew hard, and it was plain
that a March snowstorm had attacked
the city,
Myra had planned to wear her best
suit, the same one she had worn to
the Imperial Magazine office. But
she hesitated to do this as she reflect
ed that the wet snow might spot the
cloth, making it too shabby for future
occasions.
So she decided to put on a little aft
ernoon frock--which, like the suit,
was of last year's style—and to wear
over this a heavy storm coat. Tne
weather would be sufiicient excuse for
this warm, if rather cumbersome, out
er garment.
Tflm‘e black sflk afternoon dress
looked very pretty when its owner
had “furbished it up” by stitching
some dainty lace at neck and wrists.
She remembered, smilingly, that only
& woman would know that the gown
“was a trifle old-fachioned. As long as
it was neat and becoming ani ftted

“I like this side of the restaurant

over here by the front window. I
suppose you are already familiar with
this place?™
No, she admitted, she had never
been here before. -
She wns Interested In the many
mlo who were here at this noon
. She listened eagerly to the oc
caslonal French sentences that were
borne to her ears. Horace had men
tioned this restaurant to her as one to
which he sometimes repaired for
luncheon when business allowed him
time to stop for a regular meal.
How strange it would be if he were
to see her here today!
This thought was uppermaost in her
mind as she allowed her companion to
“udn her in removing her damp
“l know,” Martin remarked as she
seated herself at the small table,
and he took his seat opposite her,
“that it is a shame to let you come
