They dined at Marcello's, not the
happiest selection for their first few

thronged with picture folk.

in contented silence.

The restaurant to which the Lon
tales had hidden them was the one
in tho e times most favored by the
froth Of the picture colony for its
weekly night of carnival.

comprising the most influential mem

bosom with shouts Of accalim, and
he seemed to find it easy to catch
the spirit of the gathering. A sense
of Illustration oppressed Lucinda.
She had been happy half an hour
since. Here in this heady atmosphere
of perfumed flesh, tobacco reek and
pungent alcohol, the idyl of her even
ing grew faint and fed. While the

"Shall we dance?'
She surveyed the crowded floor

up and threaded the jostling tables
with Lynn at her heels.
1t was an awful crush. Few better
dancers than Lynn Summerlad ever
trod a ballroom floor, but even ne
was put to it to steer a safe course
in that weller. Lucinda heard q
hiss of breath indrawn and looked
up to see Lynn's face disfgured by
spasm of pain. In the same in
slant he stopped short, in the next
he groaned between set teeth.

man she loved had no regrets.
In moment Of disconcerting lu-
cidity she saw him as a strange man,
flushed with drink and blown with
license. looking on other women with
a satyr's appraising eyes, bardying
ribald wheeZes with the lips she had
so lately kissed And she WINGED
and drew away, recalling the aban-
don of affection with which she had
given herself to his embrace at the
hotel, feeling of sudden soiled and
shopwOrn as from common handling.
A strange man, man she had
known but few brief weeks!
Covertly watching him, she saw
Summerlad in the middle of a pas
sage of persiAage start and fall
silent, his lips in an instant wiped
bare of speech. And following the
lire of his stare, she espied, at some
distance at table near the edge of
the dance floor, Bellamy sitting with
woman.
He saw her but made no sign more
than to intensity his meaning smile,
and Immediately returned courteous
attention to his companions.
At this Lucinda stared in doubt
for several seconds, she was so
changed But fnery that shrieked
of money spent without stint or
taste could hardly disguise the wild
and ragged loneliness of Nelly Mar
quis.
Lucinda looked a second time.
More than a month had passed since
that brief acquaintance, and Lucin-
da had put her out of mind so COM
pletely that her efforts to recall the
features of the other conjured up
only a foggy impression of a shabby
haggard, haunted shadow, by turns
wistful and feebly defiant, that bore
what might be no more than chance
likeness to this figure of Haunting ex-
| travagance at Bellamy's table.
A question forming on her lips,

but surprised the tail of his eye
veering hastily away, and fancied a
shade of over-elaboration in the easy,
injurious air he was quick to re-
sumo.
She stole another glance across
the room. By every indication Bellamy
found his company most entertain
ing; he was paying her sallies a
tribute of smiling attention which
she as evidently found both grateful
and inspiring. While Lucinda was
| looking she drained her highball
glass and with an air peremptory
and arch planted it in front of Bel
lamy to be replenished; a service
which he rendered with the aid of a
pocket MISLEADING to his own
glass, however, water only.
Summerlad was cycling her with a
quizzical air. Lucinda managed half

And Lincoln, we read, loved
the Potomac river. No more
fitting place or occasion, then,
could be desired. The Fine
Arts Commission, of which Mr..
Charles Moore is chairman, will
rejoice that after twenty years
their work is complete, since
the first plans were considered.
For ten years the people have
watched the massive structure
slowly rising, like a classic
Greek temple, symbolic in its
strength and dignity. Through
out America, wherever Memo
rial Day is celebrated, the
thought will turn toward the
National Capital, and people
will say to one another, "Today
they are dedicating the new
Lincoln Memorial at Washing
TONI
To those fortunate enough to
be present at the exercises, di-
rected by the Commissioner Of
Parks and Grounds, Colonel Sher-
rill, this commemoration OF the
great Emancipation President will
have, perhaps, for each a different
significance. To the mother, 1t
will mean gratitude that the
world war is over, a prayer that
peace may abide forever. To the
soldier returned from overseas, 1t
will bring a memory of battle
fields, Of front line trenches. Of
buddies who did not come back, of
a nations attitude toward it's re-
turned defenders. To the scholar,
the historian, 1t will be a tri-
umphant event, the immortalizing
of the hero dead. To the business
man, 1t will mean a respite from
office cares, an occasion to be en-
joyed in thinking Of the splendor
or our glorious country. To this
professional woman, 1t will be a
symbol of liberty, of woman's now
emancipation. To the old, It is an
event with varied associations as
they look backward into memory's
mirror. To the young, 1t will be a
day of pleasure, a holiday, a bright
page in the book of life. But one
and all will unite in Thanksgiving
that the America for which Lincoln
lived and died is still free, that no
oppressor has trod with iron heel
upon this land of liberty.
KEENER ON U. s. HISTORY.
The European visitor will recall
American history, as he learned it,
sometimes possibly more faithfully
than it may be imbibed in the
United States. For when we are
very close to a subject our view
of 1t is often lacking in perspective.
1t was for this reason that an
English playwright could so sue
cessfuly create the drama OF
Abraham Lincoln"
An added pleasure for us, at our
dedication services on Memorial
Day, will be the presence Of, not
only the members OF the Fine Arts
Commission, but also the architect.

and the mural decorator, Jules
Guerin, each of whom has labored
so successfully to create a monu.
ment pleasing to the American peo-
pie. Each in turn would like to
tell us Of his purpose.
The architect finds the site
chosen an ideal one. On the great
axis, planned over a century ago,
we have at one end The Capitol,
the monument OF the Government.
To the west. over a mile distant,
is the monument to Washington,
one of the founders Of the Govern
ment. The Lincoln memorial,
built on this same axis still farther
to the west, by the shore of the
Potomac, is the monumen, of the
man who saved the Government"
explains Mr.. Bacon. thus com
pleting an unparalleled compost
tion which can not fail to impart
to each Of it's monuments a value
in addition to that which each
standing alone would possess"
OF the harmony of the entire
composition Mr.. Bacon says: From
the beginning Of my study I be-
lieved that this memorial of Abra-
ham Lincoln should lie composed
Of four features-a status of the
man, a memorial Of his Gettysburg
speech, a memorial OF his second
inaugural address, and a symbol Of
the union of the United States,
which he stated It was his para
mount object to save-and which
he did save. Each feature Is re-
lated to the others by means Of its
design and position, and each Is so.
arranged that it becomes an in.
tegral part of the whole, in order
to attain a unity and simplicity in
the appearance of the monument"
RECALLS HOMELY HUMOR.
AS we gaze at the Lincoln
memorial, so grand In its every
detail, we cannot refrain from re-
calling for a moment the homely
humor which characterized tho
martyred President. He was ever
ready with his joke, whether at a
Cabinet meeting or upon some
more solemn occasion. And once
when he was en- route to review
the first corps of the army com.
manded by General Reynolds, and
the party was being driven along
the Potomac to a plain about eight
miles from Hooker's headquarters,
the road proved so rough that the
driver sometimes let fly a vol;ey
of oaths at his six mules.
At length Mr.. Lincoln said to
him, Excuse me. my friend, are
you an Episcopalian?"

Methodist"
