When he was gone General Talbot
said to his daughter:
Miss Armytage is indeed a charming
girl, but it Is a pity she has not for
tune and prestige such as Miss Chan
trey has, and fortune and prestige are
what Carlyon needs in a wife"
Alicia Vernon made no reply and
General Talbot, taking up a batch of
newly arrived English newspapers, re-
tired to his own room to read them.
Alicia Vernon, lying back In the
depths of a deep armchair, sat quite
still, looking straight before her. From
the street below came the sound Of
voices, of traffic outsi de her window
black and white sparrows were Wheel
ing and chattering, and a linden tree
in full leaf close by the broad window
waved softly in the breeze, making
delicate green shadows pass over the
room and Alicia's pale face. The phase
of existence on which she had entered
was as strange to her as il it were thai
of another planet. Senator March's
offer of marriage had not taken her BY
surprise: she had seen it coming for
weeks and had made up her mind from
the first to accept it. Nevertheless,
when it came she was overwhelmed
with the strangeness of her new po-
sition. OF all of those who had ever
made love to her, he was the first mar
who believed her to be the sou of truth
and purity. 1t produced in her a faint
stirring Of a wish to be a little like
what Roger March thought her to be.
If only she could put Sir Percy Carlyon
out of her mind. But his presence,
when he came to, tell her of his engage
ment to another woman, had agitated
her more than Senator March had been
able to do. tyen In the Of
asking her love. (
Suddenly the loo opened, and a boy
ushered in the person farthest from
Alicia yernon's mind at that moment-
Nicholas Colegrove. His personality
was so strong that he could not come
and go anywhere unnoticed. The sight
of his handsome, iron-gray head, the
grasp of his firm hand, brought Alicia
Vernon to her feet and dispelied in

OF money. and the charming and beau
tiful among them should have ii just
as they should have plenty of air and
sunlight"
This sentiment was peculiarly ac-
ceptable TO Alicia Vernon.
Colegrove remained twenty minutes
longer, and when he left Alicia re-
fiected tina in him was embodied that
American type of which she had heard
so ~much-men who can deny nothing

was humbly thankful. The visit, bow

the week Mrs. Armytage and Lucy

Alicia Vernon, now quite herself,
smiled and thanked him prettiiy and
asked him to be seated.
Marriage is a very different thing
between men and women and between
boys and girls" he said In a lone of
good-humored cynicism. When a full
grown man n woman marry, / have
often noticed they assume a defensive
attitude, one to the other; it is best in
the long run. OF course, they don't
admit i~t-everything in this blessed
country is on the basis of the slightest
sentipent-but il is a fact just the
same.A
Alicia smiled and answered.:
II don't think that American men
have ever been on the defensive with
