There Are Worse Things.
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

IbAh MISS fAllkFAh.
l am young girl away from
home and need the advice of some
good friend.
Some months ago l met a man,
very attractive in appearance and
with a fine education and manners.
He seemed to be greatly attracted to
me from the time ! first met him
and soon invited me to the theatCr
and to dinner.
/ accepted his invitations because
was lonely and liked his attentions
and manners. Now, am terribly in
love with this man, who has con.
fessed to me that he has a wife from
whom he Is separated but not di.
vorccd.
What shall do, Miss Fairfax?
To give him up to woman who does
not love him will break my heart
and he says will break his heart also,
while to accept HIS invitations and

Storrow stared impersonally out
at his vista of mottled walls and
Uttered fire escapes and asphalted
back yards. Through that echoing
valley, by night, countless stray
cats had the, habit of reiterating
their amorous miseries, mingled
with the pulse of q three-piece
Italian orchestra and the insistent
nearby roar of Broadway.
Yet both the sounds and the
sights of that little valley had ap-
pealed to him, impregnating his
new-found desolation with an in
terweaving tangle of intimacies,
leaving his city little more hu-
manized, little closer to him, like

an over-hau~hty beauty accident
ally seen In dishsbiile.
Even TIE scene itself struck him
as anything but ugly. He was
still too much of a newcomer on
that trihngulatei island of unrest
TO find any corner Of 1t without
some touch Of appeal. Over that
welter Of sun-baked roofs, indeed,
hung a mist of pale gold, toning
down to thin wash Of green In
the softer shadows. deepening
again to a valley-blue where the
walls ended in the narrow area
ways strung like musical instru-
ments with their pulleyed clothes
lines.
Above the caves, on his right,
lowered the dormer roof Of great
hotel, pearled with its rows Of
electric globes. Closer to him,
obliquely across the canyon, stood
a much humber caravansary,
plainly a theatrical apartment
hotel like his own.
He had always thought Of the
people In that hotei as clitf-dwell-
ers. with the sills OF their narrow
windows crowded by countless be-
trayals of extremely frugal house
keeping-half-emptied milk bot
ties, biscuit cartons, paper-covered
marmalade jars, an apple or two,
beside the vivid yellow of oranges,
an occasional row of beer bottles,
a container Of sliced bacon cheek
by jowl with seltzer siphon.
A WOrdless Appeal.
In the wider windows. opening
on sleeping rooms. he had often
caught sight Of freshly washed
underclothing. thin stockings and
swaying lingerie hanging a lit
tie forlornly in that none too
virgin air. Yet even in those
humdrum drying garments Stor-
row had always found a way
ward and wordless appeal. He
tried to tell himself that it was
because their whites and pinls,
their suggestive lacy softness,
provided a needed touch Of hui
man warmth. Of conciliating
frailness. to the urban and indu-
rated hardness of line all about
him. They were like bird feath-
ers, he felt, found in a coign
along cliffs Of granite.
Then Storrow's gaze as he
leaned further out the window in
quest of these eyer7ameliorrting
intimacies Of life, fen on a figure
which had hitherto escaped him.
1t was that of a girl in an open
window almost directly below his
own. She sat motionless on the
wide sill. across which a news
paper had been spread.
Her feet We're crossed tailor
fashion and rested on the rusty
front Stats of the fire-escape In
front of her, where an open book
lay face down. Beside her. on tho
newspaper reposed a little scat
tering Of metal hair pins, and in
one hand, now resting idly on her
knee, she held a heavy white
comb. SO motion'ess did she sit,
in fact. that her posture quickly
brought to Storrow's mind the
suggestion Of a sun-worshipper.
