which she had imperceptibly drifted
that both suddenly developed a sig

was the girl, then, Of whom he had
absolutely nothing to say? What was
she to him? What could she be to
him-an actress, a woman of com.

tated, little Inundated, a little hurt,
and took refuge in a silence that he
did not offer to break.
Early twilight had fallen in the
room. The freight grew redder.

The laughter in her voice died out,
and he had risen, saying unsteadily:
"Don'ti II can't stand that sort Of
thing, you know"
She had made a mistake too. She
also had suddenly become aware0f her

placing one hand on the tiled pave

rose at her side.

She raised her white arms above her

downward together, cutting the crys-

fish over the glass tiled bed, shoulder

over his shoulder at Sylvia, but she
was apparently absorbed in counting
something on the ends Of her fingers,
so he turned smilingly to his desk and
wrote a long letter to his mother-the

condolences, full Of humor, gayly antic-
