II had ten minutes" she said. land
l thought :" She broke off the
sentence when she saw him snap
out his watch and look at it. II know
there's something" she said. Il can
tell just by the way your eyes look
and the way you're so tight and
strained. If you'd just tell me about
it, and then sit down and let me
try to take the strain away. :"
Beyond doubt the strain was there.
The laugh he meant for good-humor-
ed dismissal of her fears didn't sound
Mt all as it was intended to. "Good
heavens!" he said. "There's nothing
to tell! I've got an argument before
the court Of appeals tomorrow and
there's ruling decision against me.
1t is against me, and it's bad law.
But that isn't what want to tell them.

ton so that I can hold that the de-
cision doesn't rule"
"And it wouldn't help" she ventured,
IF you told me all about it? I don't
care about the dinner"
II couldn't explain in a month";" he
said.
"Oh, wish were some good" she
said forlornly.
He pulled out his watch again and
began pacing up and down the room.
Il just can't stand it to see you
like that" she broke out again. IF
you'll only sit down for five minutes
and let me try to get that strained
look out of your eyes. !"
Cant you take my word for it and
let 1t alone?" he shouted. II don't
need to be comforted nor encouraged.
I'm in IN intellectual quandary. For
the next three hours, or six, or how
ever long it takes, want my mind to
run cold and smooth. I've got to be
tight and strained. That's the way the
jobs done. You can't solve an intel
lectual problem by having your hand
held, or your eyes kissed, or anything
like that. Now. for the love of heaven,
child. run along and let me forget you
ever existed, for a while!"

"Dressmakino Not an Art"

"Oressmakin0 Not an Art"
That dressmaking is not an art, but
labor, was held by jury in the United
States district court recently, in the
case Of Albert de Vroye, husband Of
Marie de Vroye, fashionable dress
maker. says the st. Louis Star. He
was fined $1,000 for violation of fed
eral statute forbidding the importation
of contract labor into the United
States.
The statute leaves several excep-
tons, including actors and artists.
Shepard Barclay, attorney for De
Vroye, contended a skilled dressmaker
is an artist.
The prosecuting witness was a Bel
gian woman. She testified that in 1911
she answered an advertisement insert
ed by De Vroye in a Brussels news
paper for a premier dressmaker, cap
able of designing and executing dress
patterns. She testified she was hired
by De Vroye in Brussels at 375 francs
(aDout $72) a month and brought to
the United States.

"It's not quite the Oldest and most
primitive thing in the world, but near.
". Only, Darby and Joan aren't prin-
tive people. Each of them is carry
ing perfectly enormous superstruc-
ture Of ideas and inhibitions, emo
tional refinements, and capacities, and
the attraction is SO disguised that they
don't recognize 1t.
"Absence Of common knowledge and
common interests only makes Darby
and Joan fall victims to the very dan
gerous illusion that they're intellec-
tual companions. They think they're
having wonderful talks, when all they
are doing is making love-"
Sand poor JOAN" said Rose, after
a palpable silence, but evenly enough,
"who has thought all along that she
was attracting man by her intelli-
gence and her understanding, and all
that, wakes up to find that she's been
married for her long .eyelashes, and
her nice voice-and her pretty ankles.
That's little hard on her, don't you
think, If she's been taking herself
seriously?"
"Ninc times in ten," he said, "she's
fooling herself. She's taken her own
ankles much more seriously than she
has her mind. She's capable of real
sacrifices for them. Intelligence she
regards as a gift. She thinks witty
conversation, or bright letters to a
friend, are real exercises Of her mind

CHAPTER VII.
A Freudian Physician,

Roses arrival at the dinner-a little
late, to be sure, but not scandalously
created mild sensation. None of
the other guests were strangers, either,
on whom she could have the effect
Of novelty. But when she came into
the drawing room-in such wonder
full gown-put on tonight because she
felt somehow like especially pleasing
Rodney-when she came in, she re-
oxygenated the social atmosphere.
She was, in fact, a stranger. Her
voice had q bead on it which reused
perfectly unreasoning physical ex-
citement-the kind of bead which, in
singing, makes all the difference be-

real work. But work isn't done like
that. Works overcoming something
that resists; and there's strain in it,
and pain and encouragement"
In her cheeks the red fared up
brighter. She smiled again-not her
own smile-one, at any rate, that was
new to her. "You don't solve an in
tellectual problem then," she quoted,
"'by having your hand held, or your
eyes kissedY"
Whereupon he shot look at her
and observed that evidently he wasn't
as much Of a pioneer as he thought.
She did not rise to this cast, how
ever. "All right" she said admitting
that her ankles are serious and her
mind isn't, what is Joan going to do
about it,"
"It's easier to say what she's not to
d." he decided, after hesitating a mo-
ment. "Her fatal mistake will be to
despise her ankles without disciplining
her mind. # she will take either
one Of them seriously, or both for
that matter-it's possible she'll do
very we'll"
He could, no doubt, have continued
upon the theme indefinitely, but the
table turned the other way Just then
and Rose took up an alleged CONVEX.
sation with the man at her right which
lasted until they left the table, and
included such topics as indoor golf,
woman's suffrage, the new dances,
Bernard Shaw, Campanini, and the
political parties; with perfectly
appropriate and final comment upon
each.
Rose didn't care. She was having q
wonderful time-a new kind of won.
derful time. No longer gazing, big
eyed like little Cinderella, ut a pag-
cant some fairy godmother's within had
admitted her to, but consciously gazed
upon; she was the show, tonight, and
she knew 1t. Her low, finely modu-
lated voice, SO rich in humor, so varied
in color, had tonight an edge upon it
that carried 1t beyond those she was
Immediately speaking to, and drew
looks that found it hard to get away
again. For the first time in her life,
with full self-consciousness, she was
producing effects, thrilling with the
exercise Of power as obedient to
her will as electricity to the manipu.
lator Of switchboard.
She was like a person driving an
airplane, able to move in all three
dimensions. Pretty soon, Of course,
she'd have to come back to earth,
where certain monstrously terrifying
questions were waiting for her.
