Judy and Dumont went off to-

to see the walters and the manager
bowling before the great dancer

pale foreign faces. bcsving deferen-

Lets walk. Bastien." she said. u
do love walking in New York. And
it's such a lovely dayl"
He walked as close to her as he
dared. Sometimes her shoulder
touched his arm. and the touch gave
him a thrill Of pain like a 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 IL was not what he want
ed. Still, he must not be migrate
full. Like her, he was humble OF
heart, and ne 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-little Judyl" said Chum-

introduced. she spoke of him so
naturally and with such a radiant
smile that Judy was sure 1t must

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 Stevne came in.
II appeared that Chummy had
promised to 90 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
he 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. Sne Planned q Units
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.

shook hands with Alan. Just Tor a
second their eyes met. Hers were
smiling bravely. consciously. HIS
were dark with something that
looked like ineffable -eproach.
Quickly sh eran down the stairs,
as IL 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 was all COM
