"Well, I shall have it wired the instant we go," said Mrs. Christy conclusively. "I did not know there was any company who did that sort of thing. I am perfectly relieved to solve the problem!"
She went on into the drawing-room and the groups of guests at the tables gradually broke up and followed making their adieux.
The instant Mrs. Reginald Norman reached home she called Mrs. Danielson up on the telephone.
"What did you think of it, Ethel?" she asked eagerly.
"It was a lovely party! All in such good taste, didn't you think so?" returned Ethel Danielson. "Mrs. Christy, too, made a much better appearance than I expected. She has a good deal of savoir faire already!"
"Yes, and she'll gain more as time goes on," replied Mrs. Norman. "How do you suppose she ever got the Schermerhorn's and the De Witts there."
"I can't imagine and it doesn't make much difference now, how she did it! I got my furs paid for which pleased me into the ground. Wouldn't we have been idiots to stay away? We should never have forgiven ourselves for from now on, Mrs. Christy is unquestionably in society. She has 'bridged it' in more senses than one!"
