Anne Anderson’s Ambition
By A. MARIA CRAWFORD.
[ 1s really very kipd of people to
invite me to their parties,” con
fided Bob Lawrence to Anne
Anderson when he found himself her
dinner partner for the third time in a
week, “for I am not adept in tossing
the verbal ball.”
“lI would shake hands with you,”
sympathized Anne smiling, “if It
would not make us conspicuous. 1
have always been ambitious to be an
entertaining est, but 1 never scin
tillate like &f:rjofle Dawson over
there or Ellzabeth Ayres. Their brains
are just packed with brilllant epi
grams and clever witticlsms.”
“Perhaps they have a text book on

have a night school.”
“That's a fine idea,” laughed Anne,
“and If hostesses continue to pair us
off as they have been doing this week,
we can prompt each other when our
memories get stage fright at the
sight of terrapin and roasted duck.”
“Simply great! We can work to
gether for a common cause.”
Mrs. Nathaniel Blake beamed upon
them. “I am mso fortunate,” she sald,
“In seating my guests congenially. |
see that you two are quite interested
in each other. Really, 1 frequently
make matches out of my dinners”
“What combustible stuff she must
be serving us!” Bob whispered to
Anne under cover of the laughter that
followed Mrs. Blake's innocent re
m#~k, “Some truth to her statement!

Kitty Melear over there ‘has a
scratchy volce and we all go out
eventually.”
Anne looked grieved, “If you are
not careful you will make me study
alone, That speech of yours was
really funny.”
“Mrs. Blake gave me an idea. She
sald that we looked interested in each
other. Well, we are, and if we pre
tend to be more than interested, say
in love, everybody will put us to
gether this winter”
“l am afrald we will learn to be
very dependent,” argued Anne, “and
that would not be best.”
Why would it not be best? Bob
left to ligueur and cigars, mediated
while the other guests, ably assisted
by their small but rotund host, im
bibed freely of the lighting variety of
Hquids.
“Anne Anderson is to bs married in
the spring.” somebody remarked as if
in answer to the gusstion that was
puzzling him, “to one of the Ran

ever notice how qulet; demure giris
like Anne always get the eligibles.”
Bo she had not needed the scintil
lating small talk of dinner tables to
land the higgest catch of the season,
Randolph furnished the reason why
she did not want to depend on him.
All at once Bob Lawrence felt de-
Jected and mlnmw lonely. Life
hedged him about th hundreds of
other dinners;, dances and nights at
the opera wfien he would not be
privileged to enjoy the music beeause
his social obligations kept him atten
tive to girls In chiffoy clothes and
lace conts trimmed in fur that were
indicative of the sham life they al}
led, feigning happiness even as the
coats of delicate lace furnished only a
pretense of warmth, He determined
that the following Saturday would
find him aboard an outbound vessel,
He would seck adventure in strange
lands,
He adjusted his business affairs and
engaged passage on a boat bound for
the West Indies. The first news he
heard on deck was the announcement

that a girl from his own c!ty had been
married suddenly, and that she and
her husband, a man named Randolph,
were on board, He did not need to
ask the girl's name. It laughed at
him. It mocked him, it seemed to be
written in huge letters all over the
boat and the deck. The gerat adven
ture had come to &§!m, quickly, with
out any blare of trumpets and beat of
drums. He had fallen in love with
Anne Anderson, and she was a bride
on the very hoat that he had hoped
would carry him away from every
thing associated with her,
He could not help but smile back
when a little later a girl in a big,
white coat, with a whiet tam-o~
shanter puilod over most of th elittle
brown curls about her face turned
from the rall and smiled at him,
“Why, Bob Lawrence, what are you
doing here? Did Jou find that book?
We can study and improve ourselves
if you dia.”
“l don't expect you'l! have much
time to read books on this trip.” His
volce quavered a litjle In spite of his

“Why won't 17" she demanded.
“l dare say your husband will be
able to answer that better than I

would have no reason to think thag
she cared.
For two days she dld not even
catch a glimpse of Bob, then the third
day he appeared only to completely
Ignore her. When she volunteered a
few polite questions he answered her
simply and moved away, So Anne
flirted and sang and danced her way
Into the heart of every eligible man
on board. Bob considered that she

his throat tighten as Anne sang of

Home—why, home meant Anne,
