Ray insists, however, that he must make his own Iiv- ing by writing jazz compositions and playing in an orchestra. Ralph Henderson, an English man with an eye on Barbara's fortune, is chagrined by her marriage but lays a clever plot to separate her from Ray. He Invites them both to a house. party where, he hopes, Barbara will be disappointed in her hus- band and grasp the opportunity of marrying Henders0n's pros pective title-and debts.

minutes peace and quietness, but no sooner had he stepped out of the passageway than he heard Bar bara's name mentioned.
 Did you hear that Barbara Lan- don's married that young saxo- phonist?" one woman's voice was saying.
 of course, my dear" another re- piled. Amusing, isn't it? They say he hasn't a cent to his name but she has more than enough for both of them. And I guess that penniless husband is little lux ury that Barbara Landon is well able to afford!'
 They both laughed and passed on down the deck while Ray stood motionless, his hands clenched by his sides. So that was how they regarded him!. As a luxury-a lux ury Barbara was able to afford!
 He would have to get used to comments such as that, he told himself bitterly. Comic, wasn't 1t? He. Ray Lowther, regarded as a luxury; a luxury husband. Sudden ly as though lie saw some ironical humor in the sitaation. i,e threw back his head and lsughed.
 A week later Barbara and Ray were dining a. the Savoy hotel in London when suddenly Ray uttered an exclamation of surprise ard half rose to his feet.

 What else could I do but accept for both of us?" Barbara remarked later to Ray. I'd forgotten it completely until that moment. Bit of blow to my pride the way Henry's taken it. was vain enough to think he'd be furious"
 He's too clever to be furious" |" Ray remarked under his breath.
 That same afternoon, just before the boat docked at Southampton, Len Hickson found Ray packing in their cabin.
 T hear you're leaving us,' the little banjoist remarked, land I can't say that I blame you. A man would be a mutt to work when there's no need for him to do so. Lucky devil, you!"
 Ray felt his temper rising.
 You're wrong about my not. working, Len. I am going to work and work hard"
 Len laughed derisively.
 T guess your chief work will con- sist in keeping the other men off Baby Millions. No harm meant, sonny he added hastily. Didn't mean to speak disrespectfully of the wife. Fine girl, I'm sure, but if you don't see to it that you're in clover the rest of your life, you're a bigger fool than think you are
 Ray muttered something between his teeth: he saw the futility of arguing with Len and, as soon as possible, he left him and went up on deck.

 You don't mind my having a few words with old Bill before turning in?" he asked later that night.
 She said, of course not" But, all the same, she did mind.
 She felt vaguely afraid of the influence Bill Foster might exercise over Ray and, in that moment, she was glad that they were dated to join Ralph Henderson's house party the following day.

Chapter 10 A LUXURY

Barbara was not a little surprised when. some 10 minutes later, Ralph Henderson knocked upon her door, and, upon her opening it, said:
 ssI've come to offer my congratu- iatlons. hope you'll be happy. Y0u must let me buy you both a bottle of champagne on the strength of it."
 ''why, that's-that's splendid of you, Hendy," she said, overcome with gratitude for his having taken it in what she considered such a sporting manner.

As they came within sight of her Bull nudged Ray.
 You sure were some picker when it came to wife. My, she's lovely"
 And Ray agreed with him, for Barbara was lovely that night. She was wearing a pale green chif- ion gown that brought out the red metallic lights in her closely trim med head.
 Who was she?" asked Bill. Some one in the profession?"
 "No,' said Ray and promptly changed the conversation. Some how he did not want Bill to know that Barbara had been the wealthy Miss Landon when he had married her
 Barbara tried to be sweet to Bill but for some reason she found her self resenting him. This she knew to be unreasonable and mean, but she could not help herself.
 Any idea of taking a job over here, Ray?" Bill asked presently. I'd love to have you with us. One of our saxs hasn't been any too fit lately"
 Ray laughed, a pleasant, excited laugh.
 T wouldn't be good enough for your bunch, Bill"
 Forget it, you play dandy saxo- phone. You'd like it here. Three hundred a week and taking into consideration the private shows we play at, we're doing fine"
 Ray was leaning across the table, his eyes shining, his attitude tense
 Bill it would be wonder ful
 Well, I'll let you know if there's anything doing-Been doing much stuff of your own, lately, Ray? If you've anything good, I wouldn't mind giving it tryout here" and, turning towards Barbara, he added, Guess you're proud of your hus- band. We'll hear great things of him some day. His stuff's good don't you agree with me?"
 There was a sight pause and Ray commented, a little ruefully, 1 Barbara isn't interested in my composing, Bill'
 Barbara flushed, and was more than glad, moment later, when | the pianist rose to leave.
 Mighty glad to have met you,' he said as he held out his hand. l You're lucky, know, for Rays a dandy chap" and to Ray he added, See you later, boy
 Barbara found Ray curiously | distrait during the next few num- bers; his eyes were fixed upon the orchestra and once she heard himsl saying, as though to himself, Gee, wouldn't it be great

be artists in our own line of work.
In regard to the enjoyment of an,
form of art, Hubbard stated that :
technical knowledge is not necessary
but if approached in the right way
art may be enjoyed by each of us.
Two requisites for the enioymen,
of art are mood and imagination
Art can not reproduce any expert
ence, it can only suggest it, and in
order TO receive this suggestion, the
individual must be in receptive
mood and possessed of imagination
The speaker said.
Discussing at length the import
ance of mood and imagination in al
activities and in relation to the en-
joyment of art. the speaker closed
this interesting discussion by return
ing to his original thesis, that art
is simple and miveral. that all may
enjoy it, that all of us may be ar
lists in our way, and that art is vital
to human happiness as it enables the
individual to get out of himself,
away from the humdrum activities
of every day life.
Havrah Hubbard is an intensely
interesting speaker, and his talk was
received with great enthusiasm by
the members present at the meeting,
all feeling that the joint Rotary
Ten Thousand club programs had
had an excellent introduction.
The program was concluded by a
charming group of songs by Miss
Ruth Paine. music instructor in the
Imperial high school. Miss Paine is
a newcomer to the valley but is be-
coming widely known not only for
her ability as teacher, but for her
lovely soprano voice which was
