Judy and Dumont went OH TO-

10 see the walters and the manager
bowling before the great dancer
all those men in their black ana
white, with their dark heads and
pale foreign faces, bcsging deferen-
TALLY before little Judy Grant.
Lets walk. Bastien." she said. I
do love walking in New York. And
it's such a lovely dayl"
He walked as close 10 her as he
dared. Sometimes her shoulder
touched his arm. and the touch gave
him a thrill of pain like q knife. He
loved her so-and she would never,
never love him.
Yes indeed, she did love him
she loved him with a wonderful
love; but 1t was not what he want
ed. Still. he must not be migrate
full. Like her, he was humble OF
heart. and he felt that he could
never have been worthy Of her.
They found Chummy at work IN
her studio.
The two girls clasped each other
In their arms.
"Judy-lttle Judyl" said Chum-
my's beautiful deep voice. You're
backl Oh. how wonderful"
"Chummy, I've been back a week:
and I've called three times ana
each time I've left q message"

splendid you lookl And what a won

And you. Chummy-you're love-

Judy kissed her friend again. She
thought Chummy had changed in
some way-in some delightful way.
She seemed younger and more light
hearted. as IL she took things more
easily. She laughed and joked more.
She had evidently been going about
a great deal. When Alan's name was
introduced she spoke Of him so
naturally and with such a radiant
smile that Judy was sure 1t must
be all right between them once
more.
Judy was entranced with her
friends studio. She had acquired
some beautiful pieces Of furniture
and some wonderful old blue Per
sian pottery. One big bowl. filled
with yellow iriseS, was a Joy.
At four o'clock Steyne came in.
II appeared that Chummy had
promised to go to a picture gallery
with him. Instead. she made tea,
and Judy and Bastien stayed.
Judy greeted Alan cordially. He
was Just a little more distant than
ne used TO be. The difference was
barely perceptible, and might have
been put down to his absence in a
distant country and TO her increas-
ing fame.
They talked. Judy asked after
everybody. She planned a dinner
party and an evening together, with
all the boys and Clara jerks. They
would dine at Ginori's and end up
at the Cafe Turc.
Bastien. her faithful attendant.

shook hands with Alan. Just for q
second their eyes met. Hers we're

looked like ineffable -eproach.
Quickly sh eran down the stairs,
as II from danger. She knew that
Alan still loved her but he was be-
having as he ought to. He had re-
turned to Chummy. Evidently ne
saw il was his duty. 1t vas all COM
