Altogether, he was AN odd looking tei-
iow. and II be had not been 50 absurdly
oonceiSsd would have been rather inter
esGng. His pictures were Of the imprts-
sionist type, and. although his portraits
could hardly be called likenesses, they
were fashionable, and OHara was quite
sought after In society Is, by tho
women The men could not stand his
aHectations and conceit, but the women
said, Mr.. O'Hara is So cleverI You
know he Is a Buddhist-eats nothing bpt
vegetables You could not induce him
10 touch meat; is IS against his religious
principles" Mrs Pryor was intimate
with O'Hara- He was very fond of
painting her portrait and she was very
fond Of sitting TO him "Such an intel
lectual man. my deari" she said 60 Bes-
sic. You should hear him read poetry!
And he writes poetry, too Pure inspi-
ration. He says he newer made a rhyme
in bis life by trying; but he can take up
a pen and Ia sort Of trance write verses
that are simply wonderful / only hope
that you may see him in trance some
day, when controlled by the spirit of
poetry"
IL WIS Mrs Pryor who introduced
OHara into the Archer household He
knew enough not 10 have any OF his
frances before Mr. Archer, but he
watched his opportunity 10 have one be-
fore Bessie. Mr.. Archer thought he was
a rather clever man He had heard a
good deal about his pictures, but had
never seen them, and he took their merit
for granted. Archie did not like the
Irishman any better than he liked hispic-
tures, and he owed Mrs. Pryor a grudge
for bringing him 10 the Archers'.
Rush WAS so delighted at having Helen
by his side that every one at the table
seemed pleasant 10 him. Bessie noticed the
unusual brightness Of his manner, and so
did Archie; but he attributed it all 10 Bes-
sic. Rush was IN fine spirits, and kept
tho table on a roar by the sharpness of
his wit and his fund Of good short stories.
The man who confines himself to short
stories Is the man for a dinner party; bat
heavep defend US from the long winded

sentiments; and he determined to invite
young Hurlstone again, and before long.

Archie listened to these words of his
TREND with varied emotions. He shared
his sentiments towards O'Hara, but he
thought that he detected something more
than ordinary friendship in his solicitude
for Bessie; and his manner was little
