back against smart silk misunderstanding.
They had talked hard for two hours, and
had found such large tracts of common
ground, that she couldn't believe that the
same two hours spelt the length of their
acqua intanceship. She was living in the

Tara laughed a ringing, girlish. laugh;
she. too. was feeling vaguely comforted;
his words had given her sense of useful

She felt her accustomed energy returning.

canoe glided past from an opposite drec-

They watched It lazily.
It contained likewise two people-a man
and woman The woman put down her
parasol just as they passed, for the sun
had temporarily disappeared behind a cloud,
and Tara caught a glimpse of her face. 1t
was a face to rivet attention, and matched
the tall, perfectly dressed figure to which it
belonged; not a girlsh face exactly, but
one that to many people would have been
far more attractive; 1t was full of resolu-

the beauty Of mature, commanding woman
