the end, eventually left them with
empty hands and empty days. so
they were driven into forgetting,
after fashion of their own, in side
street apartment hotels and rooming
houses, in none too orderly studios

jaded hours with tobacco and talk
and alcohol. For they seemed never
to have learned, these gregarious
wanderers. the art of being self
sufficient. They could not live
without companionship.
A Little Generosity.
Mondrynski, when he invaded
Tories studio before the end OF
the month, brought with him an
altogether different atmosphere.
He made his appearance as i'm
maculate as ever but complaining
of the neuritis in his legs which
made the climbing Of so many
stairs an inheritance-tax on devo-
ton. With Storrow, as he sat sip

and courtly. talking art with the
airy and imperious volubility of
Whistler.
With Torrie he was abstractedly
and patcrnally 'affectionate, Ieav-

seats for the Metropolitan which he
felt sure she and her young friends

Torrie, as she closed the studio

Storrow glanced about quickly
at this unlocked for note from her.
It was a reproof. he felt In his
heart, though still tacit reproof.
And he was firmly yet secretly re-
slowed that 1t should prove I'M
merited.
When Donnie Eastman appeared
the next day, with a high powered
touring car stripped of its hood.
Storrow found that resolution Of
his being put to the acid test. He

anxious to get on with his work

tleship gray.
The excursion did not begin aus
piciously. Torrie sat in the drivers
seat beside Donnie Eastman, laugh

not seen her laugh and talk for
months. The loquacity Of the three
beaded-eyed girls about .Storrow
depressed him. An unceasing but
indeterminate undertone Of obli-
guilty in their talk seemed to bar
him back from the currents of
their levity.
A Vain Appeal.
Denied the secret of their con-
tinual laughter and chattering. he
no longer made an effort to talk.
He became silent and morose. He
hated the perfumes emanating from
their over-dressed bodies. seeming
to faint even the fresh air that
blew in his face. He despised
their immoderate laughter and
their smartness and their lobster
palace slang.
He nettled with secret shame
when Torrie light-heartedly Joined
