The most terrible fighting has been on
French soil for many months The land
that was so fertile in days gone by IS

whether he would ever look at me again,

first pressed with the love kiss of a
man; yet the Latin in me answered the
call. But after Mr.. Atkins had kissed
me my lip Quivered, and then hurriedly
reaching for my handkerchief I burst
into tears and ran from his room.
All that night 1 did not sleep. 1
never cared what 1 might be think
ing, but she was always quick to notice
the color of my face or disarrangement
of my hair. When told her this time
was not Ill she asked if 1 had taken
my customary walk the day before.
At breakfast the next morning my
mother noticed my heavy eyes. She
tossed on my pillows and no clear
thought came to me. There seemed
nothing definite about me. 1 was not
glad nor sorry; 1 was not drawn to
this man nor repulsed by him. l had
simply been flung too young into the
grasp of that great force which drives
us eternally onward. 1 was a very

you that all you have in this world is
your face? Will you let it become ugly
as you pore over those books all day."
I was glad enough to escape from my
mother, and by afternoon the walk and
a hearty luncheon had restored me.
Then my behavior the night before
flashed over me. 1 felt Mr.. Atkins would
think me ungrateful for his beautiful
fUrs.
HE only asked to kiss me-" I said
to myself, land when he did kiss me 1

persons in my life to offer me kindness
and love I had acted as though 1 did
want them, 1 whose heart was starving
for some show of affection.

say.
At $50. as 1 sat listening tensely I
heard the step for which l had been
waiting. There was a knock. My moth

auct of fragrant, velvety roses was in
his hand My mother stared at them.
For DIANA" Mr.. Atkins explained.
It's her birthday, isn't 1t? 1 really
hunted the city for these roses. They
are hard to get at this season. But
I wanted her to have them because they

My mother held out her hand for the
flowers.

There wa5 a strange silence. As
came forward to take the flowers from
my mother, 1 saw Mr. Atkins staring at
her. There was something I did not
understand; something that made me a
little sick; took the brightness out OF
the day. And then:
But did not know she needed furs,
I heard Mr.. Atkins saying coolly. AT
least, sonora, the flowers carry my
greetings for the noment. My over

My mother started back.
"Oh, -senor!" she cried. How can

Mr.. Atkins turned to me.
I'VE must get you something dark,
he told me, "as a background for that

I tried to speak and could not. My
glance hung fascinated or his face. And
