Anne Anderson’s Ambition |

[ is really very kind of people to
Invite me toltheir 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"”
“l would shake hands with you,”
l!'lrftthlsed Anne smiling, “if it
Wwould not make us conspicuous. 1
\hv' always been ambitious to be an
vmtemmm; guest, but I never scin
tllate like Marjorle Dawson over
there or Elizabeth Ayres. Their brains
Are just packed with brilllant epl
grams and clever witticisms.”
“Perhaps they have a text book on

written, I will buy one and we can

“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. Nathanlel Blake beamed upon
them. “I am so fortunate,” she sald,
“In seating my guests congenlally. |
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 whiapered to
Anne under cover of the laughter that
followed Mrs, Blake's Innocent re
mark, “Some truth to her statement!

Kitty Melear over there has a

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 ldea. 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.”
“1 am afrald we will learn to be
very dependent,” argued Anne, “and
that would not be best.”
Why would it nct be best? Bob
left to liqueur and clgars, mediated
while the other guests, ably assisted
by their small but rotund host, im
bibed freely of the lighting variety of
liquids,
“Anne Anderson is to be married in
the spring,” somebody remarked as if

ever notice how quiet, demure Kiris

So she had not needed the scintil
lating small talk of dinner tables to
land the biggest 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 miserably lonely. Life
hedged him about with hundreds of
other dinners, dances and nights at
the opera when he would not be
f privileged to enjoy the music because
his soclal obligations kept him atten
tive to girls in chiffoy clothes and
lace coats 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 seek 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 annguncement

that a girl from his own clity had been

her hushand, a man named Randolph,

him. It mocked him, it seemed to he

Anne Anderson, and she was a bride

would earry him away from every

He could not help but smile back

“Why won't 17" she demanded.
. “I dare say your husband will be
able to answer that better than I
can,” he sald. “I hope that I will have
the pleasure of meeting him hefore
we land.” Then he left her abruptly.
She stared stupidly, at his broad
back in the rough, gray coat and the
grap cap that compietely covered his
head. Things had been happening
very rapidly in her life for four or
five days, and she was too dazed and
tired to wonder why Bob Lawrence
was trylng to enub her, Well, he
would have no reason to think thag
she cared.
For two days she did not even
catech a glimpse of Bob, then the third
Aany 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 hoard. Bob considered that she
was acting In v taste for a bride,
even if the Mn"monde who was Us.

thought she could do nothing of
which he did not approve, The last
night out there was a benefit for
some poor Cuban who was (Il and
trying to get back to Havana before
she died. Anne won the laurels of
the evening, Her rich, pure contralto
volce rang through the salon, and
many a man surreptitiously rubbed
the mist from his eyes when she had
finished singing, Bob Lawrence felt
his throat tighten as Anne sang of
home and love that walts patiently
through the years for the abdent one.
Home-—-why, home meant Anne,
ind she could never be his, He went
up on deck, where the moonlight,
sprend like silver gossamer on the
dancing waves, and the kind stars
seemed to twinkle understandingly,
“Bob,” sald a soft volee at his
shoulder, “ig anything the matter—

He turned and saw Anne's face in
