And the gypsy girl October flaming out

But a gaunt, gray spinster is Novem-

Not flower anywhere nor any wings

But when you see her sunsets you look
into her heart.
I have loved hcr sisters, l have praised
their graces,
But in grim November l find better

A grief that asks no comforting. a
heart that seeks no praises
Id rather have her courage than ali

Her honest, blunt assurance than the

. MERE PAINT AND CANVAS?

After one week of gadding about. of
shopping and theaters and dances and
motoring, Priscilla felt quite fed up
with distractions She wanted to get
back to her work, and wouldn't be
happy till she did.
And why nOt2 she demanded when
she failed to get Philip on the tele-
phone and secure his professional per-
mission TO return to her studio. "a
few days" of trifiing was all he had
stipulated; and those few had served.
She dreamed no more of Leonora or
lied Carnehan or Mario. Today, all
that, indeed, seemed remote and unim-
portant. What though she had dreamed
nightmare which conceded so mys-
teriously with actual events as to scare
her nearly out of her wits? After all,
1t was at worst a dream; and in this
delightfully."- substantial and matter-of-
fact world, condolences don't count
with anybody except noyelists hard
up for a plot.
She found Ada Meyer pottering with
hopeless daub of still life, spent most
of the morning giggling and gossiping,
carried her off to the Ritz for lunch
con, and left her there with some
friends who needed fourth at bridge
an arrangement perfectly agreeable to
Priscilla; it was hard enough at any
time to settle down TO work after
spell of idling. it was the next thing to
an impossibility with Ada on the
premises.
The quiet of the empty studio was
soothing and grateful. Priscilla sighed
contentedly, wheeled the heavy easel
over TO its stand beside the pier glass,
shrugged into paint-smeared smocll,
and in the next fifteen minutes did
nothing whatever but sit in chair
before the self-portrait, in stirless, in
tent study of her work.
Again it seemed good in her sight,
decidedly the best thing she had ever
done; and yet she was dissatisfied;

liant counterfeit of life.
At length. rising, Priscilla took up
her palette and from fat shining
tubes squirted upon its satiny surface
sleek coils of color.
For hours She worked steadily, alb
soroed, till premature change in the
light broke the spell With a slight
frown of annoyance she looked up 10
find the frosted glass of the north
light overcast with pale blue shadow.
No matter: her task was ended. and
sooner than she had thought it would
be. A few days more and she could
varnish.
"She put aside brushes and palette

to the chair before the portrait.

from her to the other. with whose
