rough sketch Of the little addition to
the house that Cherry meant some day

Peter had come out of the house,
with Buck beside him. He wore his
old corduroy clothes and his shabby
cap, but there was something in his
aspect that made her ask:
''Not going?'
"Yes, I'm going now!" he said.
She rested her broom against the
thick trunk of the old banksia, and
rubbed her two hands together. and
came to the top of the steps to say
good-by. And standing there. under
the rose tree, she linked her arm about

"Only six years" She was OBJ

He did not answer. He had her
hand now for farewells. and perhaps,
with the thought of those short six
years had come also the thought that
this slender figure in the housewifely
blue linen, this exquisite little head,

rebel tendrils of gold, this lovely face,
still the face of child, with child's
trusting, uplifted eyes, might have
been his. The old home might have
been their home, and perhaps-who
knows, there might have been new
Cherry and new Peter beginning to
look eagerly out at life through the
screen of the old rose vine!
Too late now. A single instant Of
those lost years might have brought
him all this, but there was no going

kissed her forehead, and said: God

Spouse of D. c. CIubman Said
To Plan New Marriage
= After Divorce.

p LONDON, Oct. 14.-when
Mrs. Preston Gibson, New York
society leader, obtains her final
decree Of divorce from the
debonair playwright and society
man Of Washington this month,
will she take unto herself an
other husband. this time an
Englishman, Of prominent social
and family connections! Lon
don and Paris society circles are
discussing this question with
considerable interest.
L. Fond Of London
Mrs. Gibson. like her father. Will
liam e. Benjamin, with whom she
has become reconciled. is fond OF
London. The past season Mr.. Ben
jamin took house here and entered
into the social 'whirl with the same
zest as his daughter.
Most of their guests were made up
OF members of the English smart
set, rather than members Of the
American colony.
To Mr.. BENJAMIN, It 10 said. an
English husband would be most
agreeable for his daughter, and II
is a foregone conclusion. those close
to the family observe, that as q re.
suit of her unhappy marriage ex'
perience Mrs. Gibson will consult her
father in Nany new marital venture
contemplated. :
Mr.. Benjamin and Mrs. Gibson
who, have been motorik-; through
France, will return to Paris shortly
to receive her decree. thus ending q
romance that startled New York so
ciety when the couple eloped to
Greenwich. Conn, in 1919, and were
married.
Mrs. Gibson's former husband was
AlexanNer Dallas Bache Pratt. q
prominent New York broker. Mrs
Gibson has been married and di
vorced twice before.
" Financial Difficulties.
A short while after the Gibsons
were married their financial difficult
ties became a matter Of public rec
ord. Mrs. Gibson's father, who op
poseds the ma tch vigorously, cut
down her allowance, and 1t is stated
that because OF this disobedience she
also lost a fortune under the tDrms
of the will Of her grandfather, H. II
Rogers, the Standard OH magnate.
Shopkeepers at the time brought
claims against the Gibsons for many
items Of debt. But Mr.. Benjamin re.
mained cold and Indifferent to their
troubles.

The Benjamins and Mrs. Gibson
have told friends that they were
planning to spend the winter abroad,
and 1t Is possible. English society
thinks, that the. engagement Of Mrs.
Gibson to a prominent Englishman
may be announced.
