 Hildegarde observed to her mother that nothing had been said to Signor Macaroni about the price of the DOT trait A crafty smile trtckled down the large face of Mrs. Saponatius- Smith.
 "I thought of that, my dear. We will wait till We see the painting. It may not be a good portrait. If 1t isn't he will have to do it all over again. He will be glad enough to take my price in cash. A young artist ought to be proud to have such a chance of making name.".
 The question of costume gave their faculties considerable exercise and entailed various visits to the large millinery establishments beloved ot Suburbia. The result of these expe- ditions was a gaudy confection that would have made bird of paradise delirious. Simplicity is synonymous with poverty in Snobv1lIe.
 Raphael Macaroni felt sorry for the girl when she stood up in his studio in an evening dress of Cambridge blue silk with tumultuous efflores- cences of translucent gauge across the corsage and on the shoulders. Round her waist she wore a belt of beaten gold and a diamond tiara sparkeled defiantly in her yellow hair.
 Macaront was really 8 clever paint CT and the task before him was ex- .tremely easy, for the girls simple face refuted all psychological prop lens. The round blue eyes shone with no spiritual light and the fea- lures had no animation.

 Miss Calvert's condescending gras ciousness had fallen from her; the proud boise of her head had gone, too. She watched him go with eyes which suddenly filled with tears. She, took an uncertain step in Thornton's direction.
 "Mr. Thornton" she cried weakly.
 The little god suddenly uncovered his eyes and sat up. Thornton walked steadily toward the gate,

 Raphael Macaroni was defying pes simism with flask of Ch1anti and a tube of Teutonised meat, when the studio bell rang as if all the readers of the Morning Boast were making calls on him. His heart bounded with hope when Mrs. Saponatius-Smith swept in, and cackling some inco- herent apology. settled herself on a chair like gigantic hen.
 Hildegarde tripped in after her with a confused smile, and bowed timtdly in response to the courtly obeisance of Raphael Macaroni. 7 "I want you to paint my daughters portrait, signor. sShe is my only child"
