Chapter 4 A YOUNG DIANA

Despite her feeling against Mi cholas T'hayer, Nora stood thought ful for a moment considering the nasty gash beneath his thumb Then she went over to the desk and began to write with a creaking pen:
 Have that cut looked after"
 ''N.'' She stuck the piece of paper to the slim balustrade where he would be sure to see it as he left. Then she caught up her hat and crushed it down over her hair. She let herself out through the rusty gate on to the winding road that led down into Florence.
 Perhaps, if she walked very fast, Nora thought, she could forget Ni- cholas Thayer. But Florence was made for loitering and she found

How did anyone ever know another person, Nora thought, how divine the motives and strange desires that dIove hi T on?
 She stopped at pastry shop and drank vermouth and ate a small pate; she found she was few cen- tessimi short. This was the wretch ed ending of such morning! She could see with what delight the proprietor would dramatize ..ie scene-and she shuddered. It would be so easy to laugh about it afterwards with her father, but at that moment
 She looked desperately about and saw slim fair woman approaching along the Tournobuoni. She had never seen Mrs Meyers before with such real pleasure.
 You've saved my life" she laughed. I've run up a bill in the pastry shop and I can't pay it. Oh, one lira will be loads"
 Mrs. Meyers went in and settled the small total at the desk; then she stood beside Nora's table a moment.
 She was fair woman, thin al- most to attenuation, dressed with elegance. She was one of those smart unsatisfied women that Nora had met before, always eager for any new sensation. She suggested Venetian goblet that might hold nothing more dangerous than acid white wine.
 The long gold earrings that she always wore, clashed on her pale cheeks as she talked.
 But you came back sooner than you expected?* Nora asked, her heart sinking as she realized that

SYNOPSIS: The restless life of the unsuccessful artist, Jul ian Lake, has deprived his mctherless daughter, Nora, of the home and stability she craves. So she tells him in op- posing his decision to desert the Italian villa they are oc- cupying rent-free. Her dismay when he urges her to wed the painter Nicholas Thayer, their guest, heightens her dislike for this man, a brother of the Jon athon Thayer whose charm for her has lasted since a meeting five years before. Nicholas dis plcaacs her by abruptly reveal ing his plSn to leave their house, but she is moved to pity when he cuts his hand pain fully opening the blind. Telling herself she never wants to see him again. she is nevertheless troubled as he packs his things to depart.

herself wandering along the pave ments of the Lungarno, stopping to lean on the parapet to watch the fishermen holding their long nets.
 But this morning nothing pleased her. She kept remembering the way Nicholas Thayer had looked at her with pity that made her angry now as she remembered it, faint ccntemptuous smile that enraged her. She wondered what had made her tell him about the rectory; and she felt her cheeks flame at the memory.
 Two American girls came walk ing briskly along the Lungarno. Nora watched them covertly, drag ging her beret on at more dash ing angle. But they did not even glance at her. Their smart travel ling clothes put hers to shame. She looked down at her stubbed slip pers, at the blue skirt and coat she had slept in more than once She tried to console herself by thinking that they would never know her secret haunts in the hills nor the old monastery where she had chatted with the Franciscan friar. All the small adventures that, until lately. had been the very spice of life.
 She spent part of the lire note recklessly on violets with the dew still on them, and loitered up one long twisting street, and down an- other as narrow.
 But this morning she could draw no solace from the blessed cherubs of Della Robbia with their glis- tening smiles.
 Something was troubling her anc at last she dragged it up into the liaht. Her father was planning something but with more perspic- liity that he usually possessed. Why else had he asked Nicholas Thay

 Interest In Aviation
 MT. Lahm served the Federation Aeronautique Internationale Of France more than IS years as vice president. The functions of the federation correspond to those of the bureau Of aeronautics of the Department of Commerce in the United States. He retired from that post in 1926 because of his advancing age.
 Age, however, did not diminish
 
 his interest in aviation. When in the United States in 1928 he went aloft to inspect Randolph Field, the West Point of the Air" which the army established at San Antonio. In the summer of 1929, just be- fore starting his annual trip to America, he made a ballooon as- cension from the grounds of the Aero Club of France.

 Citizen Of Ohio

Gen. Frank P. Lahm, and his daughter, Mrs. Frank Parker, wife of the con- manding general of the Sixth Corps Area at Fort Sheridan.
 On one of his trips some years ago, MT. Lahm organized the Aero Club of Ohio and made the first successful ascension from Canton, not far from Akron, where many balloons have been built since that time
 It was the interest of MT. Lahm in aeronautics that was responsible for giving the United States Army one of it's pioneer aviation officers When General Lahm completed his course at West Point he was sent to the French cavalry school at Samur. While there he got his first taste of altitude" in balloon Journeys with his father and be- came a capable pilot when the first James Gordon Bennett race was arranged.
