Sandra Lawrence, fresh and! trim in white linen riding things. now came briskly down the stairs, surveying the scene.

"Everything's going well," she said, with a nod to her retinue. "James, you'll bring those people up from the 6 o'clock. Then, Mrs. Peterman. they'll change the rooms look very nice-and we go on to the club for dinner. We'll be back by 9:30. I don't expect any- one until 10, really, for the danc- ing, but it's just as well to be safe. I've borrowed Mr. Eustace's man, Kong, to do the cocktails. Show him where everything is. He'll bo here before 7"

And she was gone, leaving be hind her a faint, delicate scent. Everything Sandra did was well done. Sho was cool, competent, correct. At 22, she had the polse of a matron twice her age. She loved this sort of thing-the whir and scurry of a big party. It was the very breath of life to her. Ever since her return from Europo the last time, she had complained bitterly to her father of the dull- ness-in fact the lack of social life In Belvedere. Now, in mid-July, she prepared to bring a little gaie- ty to the somnolent town. She would give "4 amart" party, the sort of affair a Gotham debutante might give at the Ritz, Every- thing would be perfect-cold food, drinks, things in asple, music- everything!

As she went out the side door into the terraced and landscaped garden with the special pool her father had been gonded into hay ing built for her the year before, her eye took in the scene approving. ly. Bandberg, the gnarled handy- man, was at work on the flagged pathi, trimming away the ragged grass. The roses were in full burat. There was a misty blug background of delphinium. Il might, Sandra reflected, be a true English garden, with at least 10 i generations of culture behind it.

At the stables she found James, who had slipped around the back way as she went out the front. Ho was running a cloth lightly over the hood, adding unnecessary polish to the nlready glimmering chromium goddess who sprang, in full flight, from the nose-of-the-engine,
