Before now, Mrs. Lexington
had never refused her anything.
She never had failed to give her
the dresses, the furs, the dancing
slippers, the matinee tickets.
Lilly must have everything that
the other girls have" had al
ways been her chorus.
But now that she was asking
for something that she greatly
needed-her mothers help in the
biggest problem that ever had
come to her-Mrs. Lexington re-
fused it,
What help do you need, I'd
like to know" she blazed. Your
future is all arranged for you
it's cut out like a pattern for a
dress, and you know it, Lily!
You're engaged to StaIey Drum
mond-as fine man as ever
stood in two sK1Oes-and you've
promised to marry him on the
tenth of June!'
Her forefinger shot out and
tapped that date on the desk
calendar on the table before her.
Then tenth of June-only three
weeks from now. and here you
are telling me you're in love with

You ought to be ashamed Of your.

Lily's lovely hands twisted and

hind her troubled eyes. But is
it decent to marry Staley when

JERRY

You're drawn to a line" she
said. eagerly, admiringly-"you're
working savagelyT'
I've had to. Finish tomorrow!
Paul ran in some extra plans on
me. I've been UP nights. You
never know how much you can
do till some one drives you TO the
limit. Most of us work at 20
per cent capacity. Goad is good
for my type.
Jerry, I've been looking for
you every day. Why did you
make me wait so long? I thought
you'd be interested in the plans,
anyway"
"Tm wild to see them. I've
been away and whole lives of ex-.
element have happened"
Color dropped visibly from his
cheeks. Almost inaudibly: What
has happened? You've not eloped?
Jerry, are you married."
IT wonder If that would be ex-
citing?" she asked softly. Peril
usually is. No; I've not gone
and got myself married. And I
won't"
He gave an abrupt chuckling
laugh and laid before her great
stack of plans. There were fin
ished color sketches of the 13 in
dividual units, then a group plan
for the Melhurst College building
scheme.
He watched intently as her eyes

I'm in love with another man?
Isn't that something to be
ashamed Of, too?"
She voiced the problems that
had been sweeping her this way
and that for weeks, hoping that
her mother would show her the
right way to go-the right thing
to do for all concerned.
You see, don't want to
marry a poor man, Mother she
tried to explain. II wish Pat
had millions, but he hasn't. And
yet l love him so much that l
feel as il I can't let him go"
Love hiM-nonsense!' Mrs.
Lexington's words cracked like a
whip. You're in love with a
good-looking face and a pair of
puttees, that's alli''
She took down the receiver and
spoke a number into the tele-
phonetic number Of the en-
ployment agency down town.
While she was waiting for CEN

and finished what she had to say.

where it lands you! You'll wake
up some day and find out that
there's more to a husband-than
a straight nose and a nice head
Of hair. You'll wonder where
your Pats bank account is. You'll
wonder where all your friends
are-Sue Cain and Ann Barney,
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1928-03-27

and all the rest of them. You'd
better wake up, Lily, and think
things over" All of which left
Lily in the state of doubt that
she had been in for weeks and
weeks-not knowing from one
minute to the next what she
wanted to do.
However, the thing was settled
for Lily within the next half
hour of that warm and sunshiny
May morning.
She left her mother telephon-
ing for new butler-chauffeu
and ran upstairs.
From the sewing room came
the steady hum of the sewing ma
chine that was stitching hens
and seams into her wedding
clothes. Out in the back yard a
carpenter was at work making a
long, rough table that was to be
covered with white satin and used
to display all the wedding gifts
that were beginning to come in

ice, the cutglass cocktail glasses,
a clock of real Sevres, a huge
cigaret box of hammered brass
and ebony.
Lily paused at the back win
dow long enough to hear the
cheerful sound of Pat whistling.

traced the noble proportions, the
rich yet chaste designs.
She held the group plan before
her, reveltng in the inspired unity
of design; each building a dis
tinct artistic composition, yet each
an integral part Of the whole.
And the colors. This so varied
yet harmonious, excited her.

his eager, almost panied sus-
pense as she studied sketch after
sketch-taking them up-compar-
ing them, murmuring to herself
softly, excitedly.
After an hour of more of this
feverish scrutiny: you've written
your poem and it's magnificent"
He gulped and grinned and
would have pushed the plans from
her.
"No-wait" she laid the small
brown hands emphatically upon
them. II want to see something
here"
You'll be worn out" said he
absently, but watching in a still
fascination-a heat. fire. n

before her. He fancied a pride,
her voice thrilling with warm,
tender pride when she said so
quietly: f'You've written your
poem, Saxon. It's magnificent"
He flushed and took a deep, ex-
ultant breath. She was looking
up to him-this new, fiercely indie
pendent, aloof Jerry. She was
tremulous with pride.
Was this all that remained of
her young, passionate adorat ton?
How coolly she looked back at
it. How shrewd was her an.
praisement of him and herself,
even to that blunt, astonishing
decision that a marriage between
them would certainly have failed.
So it was well they had not tried
it.
Was her mind as definite as her
tongue? And she held no lettering
regret? No wish for a return of
that wildly sweet emotion?
She was so very self.sufficient;
so humorously impersonal about
it. This piqued him. That family
derisiVe banter OF hers challenged
him to reassert his power, con-
Quer her anew.

Like this, with a flush on her

Other women had stood at this

glanced at his sketches. He pushed
their images from him.

her small, beautiful head. An al

Then. suddenly. she wheeled
around from the window and
flew to turn on the water in er
bathtub. She must see
him before he went! She must
make up her mind what to do
now, before he was gone!
In record time she bathed,
brushed her perfect teeth. combed
the golden, fluffy masses of her
hair, and hurried into the soft
silk undertakings that she took
from a sachet-lined drawer that
scented them delicately like
flower petals.
In the closet was an orchid
and-pink silk sports dress that
her mother had bought for her
trousseau--one of those simple
handmade little dresses that.

on her dressing table. Agnes or
her mother must have brought
them up while she was taking
her bath.
She put her face down into
them-lilies of the valley and
white roses. Flowers for a bride
for a rich mans bride.
Then she laid them down and
looked at them with thoughtful
eyes. It came to her
that she would be just like them
il she married Staley. Expensive
and as carefully cared for AZ
they had been cared for and
tended in a hot house.
But she didn't want a hot
house life. She knew il
now. She wanted the freedom
and the freshness of ordinary
happy married life with man
she loved. With Pat France.

went out of her face as she
spoke, leaving it stamped with a
kind of gentleness that never had
shown itself there before.
"Love-that's what ails me
lately" she said, with the new
wisdom that had been slowly
coming to her in the weeks since
she first laid eyes on Pat France
in his khaki uniform and brown
puttees. I'm in love with him.

my mother. You help me out"
It was an honest and desper-
ate little plea. And not only
that, but it was the first time
that Lily Lexington ever had
come to her mother for real help
in her life-the first time that
she ever had asked her for any,
thing but things that could be
bought-dresses or furs or rings
or money for matfnees.

Her mother set down the tele-

turned upon her. Her face was
scarlet and her eyes were like
points of steel. She smacked
the telephone table s.oartly with
the flat OF her Jeweled hand.
