Party calls were hardly in or.
der in Abelard's group, but on
the morning after the affair at
his studio three visitors arrived
separately. AbeIard, dressed in a
green silk dressing gown EN-
broidered in purple flamingoes,
was sitting before his fire place
drinking tea-he never drank any
thing stronger-when ibis first
guest was announced by the Jap

the shadows of her long lashes,

and with something else that he
did not care to name. So. in the

his tea cup.

been here. D-d-d-do know him?"
"Oh, Boris, it's terrible, some
things happened to mel" Becky
jumped up and stood, with her
own characteristic defiance, head
back and hands clasped behind her
head. ''oh, nothing like you'd ex-
pect," she went on with a sort OF
tired violence. tsBut something

was one. But why In Gods name
didn't you tell me how it hurt
this thing they call falling in
love?"
Abelard made no answer. but
he pushed the breakfast tray
away from him, with q sort Of
disgust.
II tell you it's awful, Boris"
Becky stormed. as though the
quiet man before her were to
blame for the course of nature
and the law of society that, at.
tempting to govern. thwarts that
course. TITS worsen being hun.

I'm not an ordinary chorus girl,

was hoarse with anger and
fright.
"Ten that to the man who

laugh. And wake up now.

Becky, tense with rage, walked
to the door. "Now go, and don't

sentence was never finished.
Scarlet, his poker face still ex-

During the week that followed,
Sally not only gave but received
condolences. She learned that her
abrupt desertion of the branch
Beauty Shop was not so bad as
she feared. In fact it looked as
If there might be no branch

teriouslyl climbed. and the Origi-
nal Beauty Shop was itself in
danger. Sally read the worry in
her friends faces. and her heart
was troubled for them.
If the Beauty Shop failed. then
Ruth Irving's sweetheart would
lose his savings, and Ruth might
not be able to marry for a long,

Sally thought But there was
nothing she could do except worry

faltered. There was no use lis
tening to Mrs. Brooke's comfort

heart and spirit told her that the
message was not exaggerated but
probably understood.
"I've called him, but he wasn't
in. So left word with the serv-
ant that you'd be here, expecting
him."
Sally noticed that Mrs. Brooke
never referred to Shevlin by his
name any more than she could
help. it.
Sally sat i'll at ease. She
looked up at a sound Of foot
steps and was glad to recognize
the familiar face of Mark Trelaw.

murmured. smiling.
Trelaw extended a thin hand,
his crippled arm still held close
to his body.
How are you?" he asked in his
low voice. His eyes, sad and bit
ter. seemed to read the very Sc
crets of her soul. Sally felt as
IL she were looking at some
austere. fanatic monk out Of the
middle ages. But she was EN-.
barrassed, too, remembering that
the last time she had seen Mark
Trelaw. he had lain like a broken
thing at the foot of those stairs
down which Shevlin's blow had
toppled him.
As IL reading her thought, a
faint, cold smile touched his lips.
Sally felt a little afraid Of him,

astonishment to gain enough
headway so that he raised one
eyebrow, releasing his monocie.
1t fell without a sound on the
thick carpet, and Abelard picked
1t up. busted it delicately with a
silk handkerchief. and nodded to
the Jap.

Becky entered, and the servant
closed the door softly behind her,
leaving her alone with Abelard.
Becky's face was an impress
sionist study of sleepless night.
The shadows on her cheeks were
not all cast by the long lashes.
"W.well?" AbeIard was studl-
ously casual. What gets you

Beck shook her head, which
was closely bound by a turban

Indeed, Abelard was very sure
that Becky, whom he called in his
mind the white lotus" because

soming which Abelard had some
day hoped to see. And he was
sure, too, that 1t was not for him
that the white petals of the imag-
mary flower were destined to un-
fold.
1T must be said that Abelard had
had hopes of this Becky who spoke
in the accents of slum with the
tone of a nightingale, and it may
be added that those hopes were
buried far in the silence of which
