six. At five therefore the two wcmen
sought their rooms. Fanny's fingers
became all thumbs as she struggled
with her hair. But she did not as
usual run to her friend for aid. Fan
ny, indeSA was aware of change in
herself toward Clementine and sus-
picious of change in Clementine to-
ward her. The same thing had hap
pened years before. She wondered If
they would be any more successful
now in concealing their Jealousy. At
eighteen they had pulled each others
hair for love of LancelOt.
In the beige frock Fanny glowed
like a full-blown rose. In her rich
black blocade Clementine shone like
light They looked at each other
as they met on the landing.
you've got one cheek redder than
the ether" commented Clementine.
"Your nose, dear, looks as if you'd
stuck it into the flour bin!" laughed
Fanny.
Clementine threw up her head and
started for the stairs. Fanny did the
same. The stairs were steep and as
slippery as careful polishing can
make varnish and oak. Fanny's foot
in its high-heeled pump slipped. She
felt herself going and clutched. She
clutched Clementine. From that point
they skidded, tumbled, sprawled, al
ways falling, always struggling
against falling by clutching at each
other. Fanny's hair strayed down,
slip was torn from Clementine's lace
frill. At the bottom of the stairs they
regained their balance, both bruised
and disheveled, to find a Mortified
face looking in upon them through
the uncovered plate glass in the hall
door. That face was Lancelot's. He
had arrived in time to see the whole
performance. Now, instead of ringing
the bell he gave gesture Of despair
and FASTENED away without a sign Of
recognition.
Fanny limped to the door. She saw
him walking swiftly down the street.
AS he passed under the arc light he
again made that strange revealing
gesture. - ..
'He has run awayr' gasped Fanny.
'What shall l do?" she turned to
Clementine.
Clementine was laughing until the
black ,brocade Quivered from her
shoulder to her ankle. ~
"Oh-don't you-see-?" demanded
Fanny, aghast.
"O-oh, he thought we were hav-
ing a fight over him yet-just as we
used to-" said the cOnvulsed Clemen-
tine. ..s-.. .......
There was silence. ..
81 wonder if he did," said Fanny
slowly. . ....
''Of course he did. That was why
he went away in the first place, you
know very well. He came upon us
that time we were having a hair
pulling match. Lancelot loved peace,
he was a timid soul-he hasn't got
over it." She chung to the newell
post, wiping tears of merriment from
her eyes.
1T isn't anything to laugh about"
said Fanny.
81 think it is" returned Clementine.
"And 1 shall continue to laugh. So
will you when you come to your
senses. 1 feel, Fan, that Lancelot is
the same old coward and that our
friendship is-safe again."
Fanny drew a deep breath. After
all, if the thing had not happened
Lancelot might have proposed to
Clementine. Clementine was a widow.
She would have been miserable with
out Clementine. Maybe it was just as

she said gently. "And-and if the
