The Story of Two Young People Who We're Destined for
Each Other, Though Every Influence Seemed
To Keep Them Apart

: Marise never knocked at the
salon door before going in. Why
should she have thought of it
today? Maman drew the heavy
curtain over the window with
sweep Of her bare white arm. For
Maman was in grande tenue with
her mauve satin low-necked eve
ming dress on, and a camellia in
her hair, Marise's first thought
was that she was to have an
other solitary dinner. "Oh, Ma
man, are you going out?"
The Denial
Certainly not, what makes
you think I amp" asked Manan
quickly. She added because it
was perfectly evident what made
Marise think it, 1.-THE belt on
this dress has been changed and
I tried 1t on to see IL 1t was right.
And then I saw it was dinner

Marise was about to say some
thing about the flower in ner
hair, but her antennae-like zen.
sitiveness to what other people
were feeling, made her shut her
lips. She looked hard at her
mother, who made herself
opaque, looking back at Marise,
her face and eyes and mouth
firmly closed over what was
in her mind. Being able to see
only the surface, Marise her
face and eyes and mouth firm
ly closed over what was in her
mind. Being able to see only
the surface, Marise took that
in with a fresh impression of
not having looked at Maman for
some time. How pretty she was,
with her hair like gold threads,
catching the light, and how DIFF
ferent from her crinkly hair like
a golden mist around her head.

close, fine-grained surface.
Jeanne came to the door.
Madame is served" she said in
a correct tone, standing aside
as they came out. She did rot
look at Marise at all, but Marise
knew perfectly well that she
too was wondering about the
evening dress and the flower.

arm. As Marise stared, l1ndeE-
standing nothing Of what she saw,
he started up systematically as
though some one had struck him
from behind. Then he collapsed
again, his face buried on his out
flung arm. After this he was
perfectly motionless. like every
thing around him, the somber
wall of the Chateu vieux, the
siclxly light Of the, street-lamp, the
bench, the rough paying-stones,
the vacant, gray shutters Of the
department store further along
the street.
As Marise stood there, shiver-
ing in her night-gown, staring,
she heard Maman's quick light
step at the other end Of the core
ridor, and the sound Of Maman's
voice, hunming q little triIling
song. she turned her head, and
saw the cheerful yellow flicker Of
a candle coming nearer her open
door. Manan was going down to
her dressing-room to get ready
for bed. She thought Of course
that Marise was in bed and
asleep by this time ana when she
came by, looking down at the
lighted candle in the pretty little
gilt candIe-stick she did not even
glance into the dark room whero
the child stood bewildered. For
the instant she was framed in
the square Of the open door, she
was brilliantly painted on the
darkness, all the bright colors Of
her fair hair, her shining eyes.
her red lips. softly cleaning IN
the warm. golden light Of the lit
tie flame. The picture was
printed indelibly on the child's
wide eyes sensitized by the dark
ness; and long after the sound Of
the gay little song had died away.
long years after the sound Of the
light footstep was silent, Marise
could see, hung on the blackness
around her bed at night. the
shining picture, golden-bright in
the quivering, living flame Of the
candle, the dense waxy petals Of
the camellia against the vaporous
blond hair, the smiling curved
lips, the velvet white Of the
slender bare neck and arms, the
rich sheen Of the mauve satin
flowing about the quick, light
feet.

WHY THEY DIDN'T HAVE ROAST LAMB FOR
DINNER
DINNER.

The place where my friend
lived was far in the interior Of
India and the problem OF getting
fresh meat was very difficult.
So when he announced one eve.
ming that we were to have a fine
leg Of lamb for dinner we were
delighted, and Bobby kept watch
ing the clock all the afternoon
as he thought of the treat in store
for him.
We sat down to dinner, had our
soup, and the soft-slippered. tur-
baned servants removed the soup
plates.
General Adjutant stood at his
post with great dignity.
The door into the pantry
opened and in came the head SER
want carrying a large silver rlat-
ter and on it, steaming and ooz-
ing out rich Juices and trimmed
with greens and garnished with
radishes cut in fantastic shapes,
rested our beautiful leg of lamb.
The servant was just about to
place the dish on the table when
snap!
General Adjutant had lost con-
troll Of his appetite, had forgotten
his manners, and made one grab
at the steaming leg of lamb,
seized 1t in his great beak and
gobbled 1t down as If it had been
ar olive. Then he quietly stood
at attention. pulling his beak in
to give him more dignity.
OF course, we all laughed. We
could not help 1t.
I'm afraid you'll have to have
an omelette, instead of roast
lamb" chuckled my friend, land
the next time we have a roast

those present"

She turned back to her green
ish mirror to take off the white
ribbon from her hair, and found
that she had a dim recollection
that before he went away to
America, he used to sit on that
bench in the late afternoon and
evening. There was something un-
pleasant connected with that
vague memory, and after a time
that came to her also. She had
heard Anna Etchergary, the
concierge and Jeanne laughing
about it, and had overheard
them conjecture that the young
man was no such innocent moth
er's boy as he seemed, and then
they had seen that Marise was
there, and stopped abruptly, look
ing at her with the expression
that she hated.
Before she went in to dinner,
she looked out once more to see
il he were still there. Yes, there
he was leaning forward, the light
from the street-lamp full on his
face. Marise could see that he
was pale. but there was smile
on his lips as IL his thoughts
were very pleasant.
When she stepped into the
salon. she did not for a moment
see that Maman was already
there, because she stood at one
side of the window, half hidden
in the thick tapestry curtain,

the glass. BY the expression Of

Although she had not meant

Yes, he was still there, two
hours after they had left him.
He had not even gone home for

~ est was one that belonged
to a friend of ours who lived in
India. This pet was an adjutant.
Now don't think that this adju-
tant was a pet soldier, because
he wasn't. He was a great big
bird-an adjutant stork. This
bird is called an adjutant because,
as he walks along with his erect
military stride, putting each Of
his webbed feet down with pre-
cision and swapping them as he
goes along, he looks for all the
world like a comical soldier strut

We roared with laughter that
night as we sat down to dinner

the name by which my friend
called him-took his stand be-
hind his masters chair, as an
orderly would stand at attention
behind his commanding officer.
The General never took his
eyes off his masters plate, and
when every once in a while my
friend would give him a dainty
bit he would snap it up in his
long bill and the big pouch at
his throat would wiggle with de-
light as he drew a long breath

thereby tell us that eye-color is
a human characteristic that may
be transmitted from parent to

Many persons contemplating
marriage are interested in the
probabilities as to eye-color in
their respective offspring.
These probabilities. based upon
a large number OF observations
so far made, are az follows:
Both parents having pure blue
eyes, all the children will have
pure blue eyes.
One parent having dark eyes,
the other parent having blue
eyes, the children will either
show no blue eyes, or half will
be dark-eyed and half blue.eyed.
When both parents have dark
eyes. either all the children will
have dark eyes or thrae-fourths
will have dark eyes and one
fourth will have blue eyes.
