i Clara, hewiIderea and frightened,
only saw the tears dim his bright blue
eyes, only felt two bearded lips on her
cold hands. and she Was alone with
Che memory Of her first love affair.
She went home with her brother
arid his wife, was called upon. went t.
balls. entered on the round of gayety
appropriate TO a girl III her first
season. under the chaperonage OF
sistsr-In-law whose prestige OF wealth
cast giamor ever her. Bat she was
not altogether a success. Men thought
her quiet and transcendentai, women
shy and unsnterestlng, She praetice1
necessarily. much 10 the disgust OF
Lizzie. who declared 10 her husband
that the scraping Of Glara's fiddle
drove her crazy. Every day only
proved more conelusively that she and
her sIstsr-in-law were nade Of iifleT-
ent clay
/ That conversation with Heldinan in
the MUSHROOM occurred 10 Clara
again and again the future he had
suggested looked more and more al
l Turing con.rasted with the worthless
present. Lixzie's life appeared con
traeted and poor to her. 1t had not
even the dignity OF devotion 20 Frank,
for their marriage was the outcome of
ambition on both sides. and their AZ
lection the result OF habit. Every
thing about the people she saw was
small and commonplace Was not
art better goddess than money?
Could she not breathe freer air? She
was seized With the divine discomfort
that was the beginning of better
things for her, and she never went TO
q concert that her conscience did not
reproach her for her supineness.
Another thing troubled her, and that
was Tie very evident desire OF Frank
and Lizzie to see her married. She
had been at home year now, and was
beginning to understand the meaning
of Lizxie's constant entertaining and
cautious praises OF certain men. She
was passively indifferent 20 them all.
Some amused her more than others,
but she had not found one among
them all who excited her curiosity 10
explore below the surface. or 10 whom
she cared 90 show anything more
than q superficial cordiaiity. She had
ssaticed. however. that one. Harry
BENNETT. friend OF her brother. was
beginning TO act toward her very much
rs poor Professor Max had behaved
before his explanation In the music
room hasas enlightened her as To the
motives OF mrs conduct. She liked
Harry; his bright. genial nature was
attractive, his ple-mindedness win
ming: but what ae saw in her 20 care
for In that way puzzled her greatly
She was not at all the kind of girl that
he most affected: he had always adj.
Inired gay, laughing women, full OF
hit or miss repartee. Lizzie was equally
interested in his feelings and fnter-
tons. and. having impaired her sur
misses TO Frank. the two combined TO
make Ii easy for Harry 10 become a
family friend.
He called one afternoon and found
Clara practieing in the parlor.
