CHAPTER XLIX
II LOve You"

THE play had been followed by a
l large dance. and Carol had decided
to stay for only a few dances. During
that time she had been conscious Of the
fact that Tom Seeley followed her about
rs though he intended to be ready when
ever she decided to leave. That fact
infuriated her. She saw no reason why
any Of her friends should appoint
themselves guardians Of her actions,
and at the first opportunity she slipped
to the dressing room. wrapped her coat
about her. and met Britton outside.
Without word Britton helped her
into taxi. He was breathing rather
hard. This was the moment he had
hoped for. for at last he was certain
that Carol cared for him, that she
knew what he was about to say.
"Carol"-he turned toward her, his
voice was eager-''you know why

wanted to see you alone tonight, think
YOU must have known all along. but you
| weren't conscious of it till tonight
His voice had sunk almost to whis-
! per, every tone of it caressed her. Her
eyes drooped and in the darkness his
strong fingers closed suddenly around
hers.
"I love you, love you," he said
tensely, "And I've been patient. !
wanted to make sure. Do you care
for me, Carol? Do you love me one. tenth
as much as I love YOU? ?"
Her heart was beating suffocatinaly
and her brain was'in a whlrl. She
felt irresistibly drawn toward him. 1t
was as though he had bewitched her,
and yet now that the moment had ar
rived when he was telling her Of his
love she found 1t impossible to say
whether or not she loved him.
She tried desperately to annlyze her
feelings. This afternoon her heart had
!eaped at the thought of him. but somc-
ching had happened since. 1t was that
cold sober moment of reasoning in the
| theatre, when for time the glamour
Of his presence had vanished.
Britton was seized with an almost
uncomfortable impulse to take her in
his arms. He felt that If he could hold
her she would yield, and now that she
seemed slipping away from him she
was more desirable than ever. But
something. he could not have told what,
held him back, and he waited for her
to speak. He knew that she was not
like other women and that If she made
up her mind she would be sure Of
herself. Until that moment he had not
realized how much he really cared for
her, how much her love would mean to
him, and yet his sense Of honor was
realize that he had 10 right to her, that
she belonged to another man.
The taxi drew up before the apart
ment house before Carol had answered,
and Britton was conscious of feeling
of impotence which he carefully con.
cealed.
He helped Carol out. paid the driver
and turned to her eagerly. '"May I
come up?'
She looked up into his eyes and again
she felt the strange fascination that he
had for her.
Yes" she returned, almost In a
whisper, and a moment later they were
going up together in the elevator,
The living room as they entered II
was filled with the fragrance of roses,
lights were burning dimly under silk
shades, the very intimacy of it drew
them together, and, as Carol threw her
evening cloak carelessly over chair
and turned toward Britton, he suddenly
forgot to be cautious.
He forgot everything but the fact that
he loved her and that he did not
intend to let her play game with him
any longer. In two strides he was
across the room and had caught her in
his arms.

, stand. to understand is to be nearer
to God.
All parents love their children, but
they are not all equally successful
parents. And the difference lies in
whether they see and act upon every =
thing concerning those children from
their own viewpoint, shutting out the
needs and desires Of youth, or whether
they are big enough to go back twenty
or thirty years and see the other side
of the shield. 1t is those who can do
this who have their children's conf =
dence. who WELD the greatest influence,
who are real parents, not just care
takers.
And so it is with friends. lovers,
husbands and wives. They need not
give themselves up to US, forfeit the
thing that makes them individuals and
real people. We want them to keep
that. But it is IN proportion to their
willingness and ability to see our side
too. to understand us, that they are
near to us.
For understanding is the great cry
of humanity. We will sacrifice gladly,
relinquish without bitterness, as long
as we know that another heart beats
in tune with ours. that though the
melody may not be altogether joyous
there Is that great harmony-sympath
and understanding.

Why not make free with cablegram
eliminations and call it suitachc? If we
do. we arrive at description of many
Of the most stunning suits of today. For
these, as well as the serge and wool
frocks, are trimmed with soutache.
Either that or cire or some other kind
Of braid.
Right here one must mention, too.
that puffed braid has been used by
many Of both foreign and domestic de-
signers and is really one of the novel
tics in suit season which have done
especially well for us in surprises.
The model illustrated here is of blue
twill and its sleeves, widening below,
as do so many of the new sleeves, ure
diversified by rows Of alternate gray and
red silk stitching. McdalliOns of these
same shades are also stitched on the
jacket, and more similar elaboration
takes place on the corsage Of the frock.
For the rest, red soutache is used to
bind the jacket and the smart little
pockets. Observe that this suit makes
use Of the popular standing collar.

an up and n down stroke Of the pen
or pencil. In actual practice it varies

One variation, with which you are

mon trait Of character, and a good one.
People who loop their "t's, you may
be sure, have a certain amount OF sen
sitive pride about the things they con
slider really important. They are sen.
sitive in the sense that they are likely
to resent your criticism of their actions
in relation to the things in which they
have this sense OF pride, but not in the
sense that their feelings are easily hurt.
The looped st. however, doesn't tell
you what the things are in which they
are proud. That is thug you must
find out from their other physical char.
actcrstics. 1t may be religion, ethics
or artistic ability, or sense of Justice
in fact, any of the myriad Of things
In which people do take pride.
But it's logical to suppose that with
such people there are things on which
they have principles which they try
sincerely to live up to. Otherwise they
could not be sensitive to- the criticism.
