Patricia was silent, and Dick awaited her
answer with breathless Impotence. He felt
as if his whole future fate was trembling in
the balance Presently she sighed-a long
drawn, quivering sigh.

eager emphasis, "and you are the only per-

Then l will. - said Patricia.
So the bargain was struck and the oddly
assorted pair proceeded to carry it out.
He painted her as Galetea, and the work
took a long time and necessitated a great
number OF sittlngs. Dick spoiled a good
many canyases, but that was his way through
life. He was always throwing aside his old
canvases and starting on new ones. 1t was a
habit he had.
Patricia displayed patience that seemed
inexhaustible. She never fldgeted, Inever
complained. When once Dick had posed her
she would remain in the same position for
any length of time, and if she grew tired. or
cold, or cramped she kept her secret and he
was none the wiser.
At last the great work began to progress
and Dick spoiled no more canyases. He had
got fairly under way, and the successful
realization of his ideal was only question OF
time.
"I've never come anywhere near this be-
FORE. he said to Patricia one morning. II al
ways hoped that some day should paint a
picture that would make me famous. and now
l am doing it. This will make me famous
and l shall owe my fame to you"
He looked at her and smiled and the smile
was reflected on her face. She had taken to
smiling more often of late.
After that everything went with remarkable
smoothness and before very long the last
touches were put Dick looked at his COM
pleted work and saw that it was good and his
delight and enthusiasm knew no bounds. He
was like a child with new toy.
Patricia stood by his side and looked, too,
but his high spirits did not infect her. She
was grave and thoughtful.
''Am like that?' she asked.
Dick glanced from the living face at his
elbow to the pictured face before him. The
likeness Was exact, He had portrayed Pa

Is it?''
His eyes wandered over her as he spoke,
seeking some reason for the change, but he
could find none. Her gown was one that he
knew well; she ha not altered the arrange
ment of her hair: everything about her was
much as 1snal. No; the change owed moth
ing TO outward influence. it came from within
| her.
Even rs Dick grasped this fact an idea
struck him suddenly. could it be his kiss
the touch of his lips on hers-that had
wrought this startling transformation: For
a moment the thought made him cover
guiltily; then he dismissed it as quickly as it
had come No. it could not be that-that was
not enough.
For Dick was man, and q man OF the
worId-no worse. but still not much better,
than his fellowmen-and he did not think so
very much of a kiss. If he felt tempted to
kiss woman he generally yielded to the
temptation, lust as he yielded TO othertempta-

A kiss was such little thing. be always re-

He had taken her hand and called her by
her name in the afternoon, and she had not

her by her name again at night. That is q

Patricia looked up at him.

Dick drew his breath hard, and for a mo-
ment he could not speak. Her eyes. with
that new light glowing in their depths, were
enough to set mans very soul on. fire. He
had to fight for self-control.

why he should not His vocabulary held no
such word as fail. He believed in himself,
he believed in his art. and he believed in the
future. Happy Dick.
Well, as 1 SAID before, fate threw him across
Patricia Campbell's path. and left him there.
II suited him very well to be left there and
he had no wish for fate to remember him and
take him away; for he found Patricia the
most interesting and fascinating woman
from certain points of view-that he had ever
met. The very qualities in her that repealed
other men attracted him. Perhaps it was the
force of contrast, perhaps it was an under
current of sympathy, perhaps-but what is
the use Of specializing? In this tangled skein
OF life there are so many cross threads that,
to all appearance, start nowhere and go no
where; so many effects to which we can
assign no cause
Patricia beautiful, impressive face set him
thinking, and the second time he saw her he
said. in his casual way:
Il say, Miss Campbell, 1 want you to do
something for me. I've got bright idea
will you help me carry it out?"
Patricia looked at him doubtfully. In all
her life no man had come to her for help be-
fore, and the novelty of the situation i'm
pressed her. She did not quite know what to
say.
Help you?" she repeated, in a dubious
tone; and then she added, "Can I?'

mo, don't mind. But why-why?''
Dick hesitated. If he had been talking to
any other woman in the world he would have
said: because you are the most perfectly
beautiful woman / have ever seen. Because
you have figure to send a sculptor mad
and face like painters day dream, and I
must paint you or die"
But some subtle instinct warned him that
it would be wiser not to talk like that to
Patricia, so he thought for moment
''Wel,' he said at last, 1.-The fact is I've got
a good thing in my minds eye, but I'm hard

know. Ideals and realities are such aWtulIy

tricias impassive beauty with rare and subtle
skill. The waving glory of the bright-hued
hair the straight lines of the finely-chiseled
features, the pure tints of the velvety skin,
the serene Inconsistencies of the clear gray
eyes-these things were rendered with a life
like fidelity that was startling in its vivid
realism But beyond and above all this he had
seized upon and emphasized that which was
the keynote of her personality-the marble
GOODNESS, the lack of womanly softness and
tenderness, the absence OF SOUL that made
her face so perfect realization of his ideal
Galatea.
"You are just like that" he answered, with
conviction.
Patricia was silent for moment. then
81 did not know" she said. slowly, and her
tone made Dick wonder OF what she could be
thinking.
But he did not ask. He had found long ago
that asking Patricia questions was rather an
unsatisfactory occupation.
"Pygmalion of old foil in love with his own
creation. and kissed it into life, !" he cried.
~ am sure | am not surprised if-if-"
He broke off suddenly and Patricia turned
away. Dicks eyes followed her curiously
He was wondering if the most impetuous of
lovers, the most ardent of kisses, could have
power ito awake within her the passionate,
loving womans soul that the touch of Pyg-
malion's lips had once upon a time awakened
within his Galatea's marble form.
The picture was accepted by the all-power-
full forty and well hung, and it proved the
feature of that years academy. The critics
had nothing but praise for it and the crowds
of visitors who daily thronged the rooms of
Burlington House were unanimous in their
verdict. Popular feeling ran SO high that
"Galatea'' had to be provided with a railing
and policeman. Dick Yandeleur's name
was made.
II owe everything to you," he said to Pa
trieia, Everything"
Now this was not strictly true, but the i'm
pulsive words were the outcome of some
what illogical reasoning, but Dick was not
always logical when he was talking to a
woman. That is such a different matter
from talking to man.
Patricia caught the false note at once and
shook her head.
NO she answered, "there are many
things that you don't owe me. Your talent,
for instance-that is a heaven-sent gift. If
you had never seen me you would still have
been famous some day.

without inspiration?" Then he moved 4
little nearer. Don't reason with me, he
pleaded; Il don't want to be reasoned with.
1 like to think 1 owe everything to you. Let
me think it, Patricia.
Patricia did not answer; she only flushed
family. Considered from an artistic point
of view. that soft. slow blush was the most
perfect thing in the world, and Dicks eyes
were all ablaze as he looked down at her,
81 owe you he went on, "a debt that l
can never pay off in this life; the balance
will have to be carried over to the next, I'm
afraid" He paused for moment; then put
his hand over hers, as it lay idly on the
table. 1T is not only name and fame and
fortune" he added. "There is something
else that l owe to you-something more
precious than either"
Patricia was lost in a dreamlike silence,
looking down at the hand that held her own.
What a strong hand it was, and what subtle
sympathy seemed to be conveyed by its close
clasp. The sense of physical contact with
him thrilled her strangely.
MAY l." he asked in n hurried tone. "come
in this evening and tell you what it is?'
Her eyes were still fixed on the clasped
hands, hers and his.
Yes" she answered.
'Then she withdrew her hand slowly, and
as she did so Dick stopped down and kissed
her.
The next moment he was gone.
Patricia stood where he had left her, silent
and motionless. Her pulses were throbbing
wildly, and the blood was eoursing through
her veins in torrent of liquid fire; still, out
wardly she was unchanged. Then all at once
a light broke over her face-a light that suf-
fused and irradiated it with rosy glow, a
new, strange beauty. She was TRANSPORTED.
Her lips parted, her cheeks flushed, her eyes
softened with passion and tenderness IN
speakable.e In that one moment she had
passed from the marble semblance of a woman
to a woman indeed, with a woman's heart
beating in her breast and the dawn of Il
woman's love stirring her being to its utmost
depths. 1t was the souls awakening.
The light still fingered upon her face when
Dick came back. He saw it as she turned TO
meet him, and this new. marvellous beauty of
hers, this glowing, pulsating womanhood,
instinct with passionate life, came upon him
with an actual physical shock. He stopped
short, gazing at her spellbound.

'By Joyep' Then he went forward. chow

likely to be kept rather too warm for heavy
dresses, pretty challe or a lightweight
worsted dress will be all that is necessary for
indoor wear. or even a dainty percale or
gingham. but it is absolutely important that
the children should have warm wraps or
coats and with that end in view, shall en-
deavor to describe some of the new seasonal
bic garments for school children and girls.
The accompanying cut is on of the prettiest
1 have seen and is made of the new Himalaya
cloth (Which comes in plain shades only and
has very rough surface; it is sufficiently
heavy to make up without lining for the fall,
and is suitable for girl of eleven or twelve.
A large velvet collar trimmed with lace,
cuffs of the same, and sash of either silk or
velvet make very pretty trimmings for the
coat.
For my part, however, do not advocate
much trimming on children's dresses, for it
is likely TO engender extravaganza ideas and
vanity in the young mind, as we'll as envy in
the minds of her less fortunate little compan-
ions. Simplicity in a child's dress and dis
position is an admirable trait and reflects the
refined tastes Of both the mother and father.
