aware only Of that hot, pointed thing
which made even her breath giddy.
She said in a little strained voice
as they walked through the garden;
Isn't she sweet? Do you think we
look very much alike?"
They were in a narrow, secluded
path beyond the pool where a weep
ing willow trailed it's long delicate
vines in a green shoed across their
way. The fading yellow light moved
through the lacy branches like a
pale spirit reluctant to part.
Look alike? What do you
mean?'
"Why, that Tia Moore and l."
"She looks like you.' He turned
her around, looking down at her
face and laughing. "Well-let me
see. Open your pretty eyes"
His hands on her shoulders trem-
bled crossed down about her. A
flush crept to his forehead. She
moved toward him. She said with a
little gulp, "Oh. Barry-dont-" but
a thing within her shook out a
thousand glad. demanding notes.
When his lips touched hers she
clasped her hands against him, mo.
tionless in the sweet tide of joy.
They stared Iaffrighted into each
others eyes.
He took her arm and ran her
down the path: "Now-we've got to
hurry"
The terrace about the house was
now bright, moving field Of color
Girls Is vivid sport clothes, men
and boys in white flannels, saun-
tered about laughing. Snatches of
song rose through the soft twilight

ing within Janina's clear, incisive
voice and the graceful languor of
Bess answering. She paused. She
clenched her hand on the door knob,
shaking, afraid lest they should see
the mad fluttering of her pulse. the
blood leaping with such pain, such
tumult to her face. She thought,
trembling, What shall I do? Oh,
what am I to do now?"

Don't worry about the garbage,
Bess, my dear. But pity US If the

small glasses filled with a bright
red cordial. Janina brought one to
ChiclIie, and slipping her arm in

sigh: Enjoying every little thing?

Of them sittting-shouts across the

honors as hostess.
Mrs. Abbott, Janina whispered,

never to attend the weekend express
sions Of her children. She filled her
life within her own demands. The
three girls did likewise.
They had the run OF the place
They crowded 1t each weekend with

men. They dashed about the coun-

until the musicians rebelled.

open doors. Couples rose automati-
cally from the table, drifted like
figures in a slow dream into the i'm
mense room adjoining.
Chickie sat next to Barry Dunno.
But she didn't look at him. She
was afraid and tremulous because Of
the disturbing sweetness vibrant
like a living thing between them.
At her right was Janina's escort

met coming down the steps Of the
