looked significantly at Dean. She was
evidently not appalled, by the statement.
She came nearer and laid her small heavi-
ly ringed hand on her daughters shoulder.
"My dearest child, she said soothingy,
"you're dead tired-and no wonder!
Come, run away to bed at once. Rcmem-
Der, you must walk up the church aisle
looking like a rose tomorrow.
Page twitched her shoulder away. She
did not lift her brooding face But,
Mother, mean what | say. I've been
begging Stanley to meet me on basis of
some kind of understanding. Oh, it seems
to me that it isn't love ! want, so much
as sincerity; the feeling that | could go
to him with every thought every idea,
that came into my mind, and that he'd
understand. Oh, let me finish, Stanley"
as Dean interrupted her She spoke to
him now instead of to her mother "To-
night, when tried to make it clear to you,
you didn't understand, you simply didn't
see what l was driving at Oh, don't
want you to agree with me: it isn't that,
but to understand. And now feel that
you don't, and l can't can't go on with
this wedding"
Mrs. Amberley shot glance of worried
CONSERVATION at Dean, and knelt down
beside her daughter, her blue and silver
chiffons trailing on the floor. She tried to
draw the girls head to her shoulder; but
Page turned away from her.

it's "a real world People live and love and

been lived by the standards of pretense,
and tomorrow am to be married by
them. Tomorrow you'll manage to con-
vey the impression to everybody that I'm
the traditional, blushing bride, with all
her Illusions intact, and possessing all that
stupid and unnecessary ignorance that
you will call my little girls beautiful in

suspecting that anything could ever dim

"You will presently make Stanley be-
lieve that you are a person of impossible
disposition, said her mother in dry COM
ment
"If | am, isn't it better for him to know
it beforehand, while there is still time for
him to escape?"
Mrs. Amberley shrugged her shoulders
slightly, lifting her brows with faint,
protesting smile at Dean.

But, Mother" and now Page turned
and nestled against her mothers shoulder.
The tears We're running down her cheeks,
and she made no effort to wipe them
away. Her face, with her dark hair tum-
bling about it, looked extraordinarily
small and quivering and childish "Mother,

in life is different from what it really is.

me, and I've always been dashing myself
against-oh, not against stone WALL

now it seems to me from the way you have
taken what | had to say to you that if |
married you tomorrow, | should have to
go on on that basis, as if my married life
would be built on and include all-al of
those things that have most longed to

what is she talking about?' Mrs Am
berey besought Dean helplessly. Then
she spoke to her daughter, patiently still,
but with worried irritation which was
beginning to show, not only on her face
but in her voice. "What things in your
beautiful, sheltered life could you possibly
want to escape, Page? She has ideas, you
ing all responsibility for them in another
little shrug of her white shoulders which
set all her diamonds twinkling. "She
would go to college! She got them there,
! dare say"
"Oh, Mother, what's the use?" Page
threw both hands out with a passionate,
protesting gesture. "You might as well
understand that | know the meaning of
those two anonymous presents that ar
rived today"
MRS. AMBERLEY drew her arm from
her daughters shoulder, and leaning
away from her looked at her with dis
mayed and frowning incredulty. what
have you been hearing? Who-who has
told you anything? Who has dared
There was sudden harsh note in her
voice which suggested some strength of
nature, some depth of emotion, which her
pretty frivolity, her careful convention
atty, forever denied; but before she let
herself say more she glanced quickly at
Dean biting her lip as she did so, and then
added more quietly, II ordered that pen

"And when l saw it gave different

He had loosened her hands from his
coat, and turning from her began to walk
up and down the floor, while she sank
down rather hopelcssly and helplcssly into
her chair.

she said. But you don't understand me

trying to think that this is Just a matter
of nerves, of fatigued nerves on your part;
but must confess that you are beginning
rather ruthlessly to shatter my illusions.
Restraint was evidently hard for him
now. His face had grown tense, and the
snap of his eyes was more noticeable, more
steel-like.
"Frankly, I'm beginning to doubt

phasis in his voice now, 81 don't want to

The world, their particular world
looked from Mrs. Amberley to Page, and
half of it said:

one-third as attractive as the mother?"
The other half decided, "The girl must

of variations; and "Koango, an opera

by the composer and played at prom

one of Mr.. Beecham's concerts. and last
May it was a feature of the Festival Of
British Music, given under the direc-
ton Of Emil Mlynarski and Thomas

Howard Jones.
There are at least two themes in the
concerto which may be said to betray
their American origin. They are the
principal theme of the opening section
which, as announced by the strings be-
fore the entrance of the solo instru-
ment, is as follows:

Germans and he was born in Bradford,
Yorkshire, at a date unmentioned in
the handbooks, in the year 1868. As a
lad his fondness for music led him to
take up the study of the violin, but un-
til he grew to manhood he had ne
systematic instruction.
He wanted to be a musician, his
father wanted him to be q merchant,

sent to Florida, when he arrived at
