Patsy almost danced off to her little
third floor studio room. where. all
alone, she had been working on, hel
theory of c0l0rS. perfumes and human
anrns. Until now she had $;lid almost
nothing about her Intentions. although
1t was known That SHE had wonder

We are beginning to. appreciate the
most subtle sort Of odors, odors that
generation or two ago would have
been hardly perceptible to the senses

need the heavy scent Of tube rose
or cinnamon flower or some equally
compelling odor."
Patsy explained all these OBSERVE
tlons to Joe, who was becoming really
interested IN the little studio shop. He
had helped her fit it up; he had tackled
up curtains. painted furniture to make
1t harmonize with the surroundings
and he found himself spending every
spare moment In the pleasant environ

"What do you know about my aura,
Patsy?" he asked. suddenly, one day
when he was helping her.
More than I'd care to tell you.

Joe looked up at her. The tone of
her voice had seemed strange.

ously. Then he went over to her
where she sat among baskets of rose
petals. "Patsy, why don't you make

Patsy's blush had deepened in color
and her eyes had gathered wonderful
light. lit might be interesting TO
to find that perfume. Joe" she said.
MS he stepped close to her.
And then, for long moments, the
study Of the fragrance Of mere rose
petals from other peoples gardens was
forgotten.
