Against the monotonous white of
those waterproof walls she stood out
like high priestess Of luxury. On her
soft hair nestled hat Of tulle. Jet
and silver sheathed her body. and chit
fon showed the contour of her grace
full limbs and the cleaning whiteness
OF her neck and arms. She glittered
and allured, and suggested everything
feminine and emotion-compelling.
She made even the memory Of Hill
degarde as practical as the combined
living and dining-room that seemed
colder and less inviting than. ever now
that Caroline's warm vitality illumin.
sated its plain corners.
"Hildegarde! We're here" called the
young husband. do sit down please,

certainty that was just sufficiently
helpless to rouse in Lawrence the feel

for the artist who must i've amid such
ugliness and gaze out On such a hope

Lawrence jerked down the blind and
unconsciuosly turned to his wife for

do you object to this little chat
with me alonc?" asked Caroline insin-
uatingly.
"Of course not! But l wanted to
leave you here with Hildegarde while

trouble finding us"
