 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

 The sun shone through the rose colored curtains. It touched the pale eastern rug with its splendor. Liane stretched, yawned, remem- bered. A smile curved her lips. Turning, she stared at the door which separated her room from Gives. Always before it had stood closed. For the servants benefit it had not been locked. Now it stood wide open.
 The sound of splashing water came to her from the bathroom be- yond. A young man sang in his tub.
 She called. "Clive!" Even the sound of his name on her lips made her smile for sheer wonder. He did not hear so she tiptoed to the intervening door and closed it soft ly. In her own tiled sanctuary she showered herself briskly. She slipped into the briefest of silken things. The tube of white silk which she shrugged over her head was called tennis dress. She con- templated herself with pleasure. innocent and artless. She was glad she was lovely for his sake.
 When he came in, looking very young and tall and somehow shy she was brushing out her hair. II lay in cloud around her shoul- ders. She stopped, confused, brush in hand.
 "I-oh, I meant to be ready be- fore you!"
 The smile he gave her held a rare quality, something of tender ness, something of worship.
 He placed a note in her hand. Wonderingly Liane read in Tres sa's bold script, II gave up. You're two rare fools. I suppose a senti- were meant for each other. It's too late to say I'm sorry for what happened last night. I am, honest ly. You were decent to me, saving my last penny as you did, and it was no way to repay, making a scene. Perhaps I'll not see you again. This Is to say l wish you we'll"
 Give said, "She messed up her affairs and I strengthened some of them out. I'm sorry for her. She was brought up to think money grew on hedges. Now she knows better.'
 Liane. in the curve of his arm, sighed little. I'm sorry for her, too. Sorry for anyone who isn't as happy as l am."
 He asked. Do you mean that?" and kissed her without waiting for an answer.
 Together they went down to breakfast. The coffee was pure nectar that morning. No one had ever been so much in love before they thought. Their talk was q medley of "when did you first be. gin to carer" and "why did you behave so at that time?" Tiresome talk for anyone except lovers.
 Must you go?" Liane pouted when at last the meal had ended Give sat on the arm of her chair He drowned. "I must. There's { bit of business positively has to bs settled this morning but l needn', leave you behind. You can drive in with me-"
 They sat gazing blissfuIly ai each other. transflxed by the bril- liancy of fhIs idea. "You're mol going Co leave me ever" murmurse Give. his lips against her hair.
 How soon can kou be rendyT he asked as they drove.
 Whatever feff" Her hanf locked in his big one. She wal
