King was correct. When goods are identified, title to them passes when the parties so intend. When nothing is said to the contrary 1t is presumed that the title passes at once.

SPRING IN NEW ENGLAND
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

I've read of April in England In the springtime of the year, Hosts of golden daffodilS And meadow cowslipS dear. I've read of Spring in Paris, Fashions chic in the Rue de Ia PaiX, Horsechestnut blossoms in the park, A beautiful sight, they say. But only know Spring in New England, Over and over again, It varies so from hot to cold, Sunshine, snow and rain. All the same like it. So guess I'll let England wait, Spring In New England's changeable But at that think it's great.

meaning to anything, to the new pale
green of leaves, to spring sunshine
to living even!
A soft-scer Led breeze from Ken
sington Gardens blew a small curl of
hair across her cheek. She walked
on lightly. The feeling rose and rose
in her contradictorily that everything
was ahead, that to be young, to have
a long time left to spend, was the only
important thing, to have many
springs to anticipate. Between those
two poles of emotion, that she was
finished, that she was yet to begin,
she had swung these many months.
This day, suddenly aware that the
eyes of various British gentlemen,
formally attired for Sunday afternoon
calls around the Park, rested on her
with complete approval as they pass
ed by, the pendulum swung to cheer.
She was not finished yet!

long way off, Denise heard her words.
She was to remember them. But now,
louder, more insistent, were the
words: Nothing nowadays is forever
nothing nowadays is forever"
The orchestra began to play. The
sound came up the stairway very
softly. Felicia said. "There we are.
And here's Father, and your bou-
quet. I'll arrange your train at the
top of the stairs"
Denise stood up, took her fathers
arm, took her bouquet. At the stair
head, Felicia preceded her. The mu-
sic swelled and rose, clearer and clear
er, an all-prvading sound finally, it's
cadences blotting out any other re-
frain in the mind.
Step by step she went downstairs
and through the hall. Gilbert Win
don was waiting, looking up at her.
Beyond that small sea of faces of
family friends, relatives of Eustace's
of her own school friends, his face
stood out, with the most troubling
look of radiance, of confidence, upon
it.
Then she was standing beside him.
He was taking her hand. She did not
look at his face any more, but at the

Denise to return from a call of a
school acquaintance who happened
to be in London at another hotel.
Something might have been deduc-
ed by an acute observer as to the
relationship between Gilbert Windor
and his wife by the fact that he was
invariably early for their appoint
ments, and she was always conscien-
tiously punctual.
He was early now, so that he had
unwanted leisure to think of her who
still summed up all his dreams though
through her he had received the grav-
est disappointment of his life.
Six months of the year of marriage
he'd asked for were done. He had
had Denise's invariably amiable COM
panionship through all the countries
of the Mediterranean, through long
succession of sunlit days against some
of the most exotic backgrounds on
earth. And sometimes he thought
he'd known her better in the time
when he was no more to her than a
casual guest at her fathers or her
sisters house.
How much he had hoped for in his
he knew by the very bit
terness of that hopes deferring. He
remembered that he had laughed with
genuine amusement when Denise said
"You mean a formal marriage?" and
he had said, "I didn't but if you want
it that way, so it shall be-" or words
like that. He had been so confident
that with time, new scenes, his pres
ence constant in them, his devotion
she would turn to him
with love.
From the Pyramids to Palestine,
from Venice to Barcelona, she had
turned to him with liking, her blue
eyes sometimes ardent with interest

he was left in the undignified
and rather ridiculous position of a
husband not a husband. There had
been days when that position infu-
rated him, days when he forgot it
rated him, days when he forgot it,
companionship, days when he decided
he hated her, days when he decided
she could not help loving him, and
whatever she did was right, because
he loved her so. Generally the sit
uation left him in a state where he
thought, resentfully he had lost all
his decisiveness. Yet the only reas-
on from that state was of necessity
a gesture so ruthless and so violent
THAT he never seriously considered
making it.
AS near as he could come to humor
over the situation was to determine
that her feelings toward him were
not quite those of a daughter to an
indulgent father, but more those of
a farovite niece toward an admiring
uncle. =.
Gilbert glanced at his wrist-watch.
This time, Denise was late. And in
sistently he began to worry lest she
had walked home and got into an ac-
cident in traffic in the Park! A few
minutes later she arrived.
She had walked home and fingered
a little in the pale-gold sun sunlight
in that lovely air of English spring
time.
Her thoughts were restless as that
enchanted air. Within week of her
twenty-second birthday, she felt lit

"Then's let's drive over the State

She said, ooh, OH" sharply, as if
he had hurt her.

echo of that sharp sound. well come

parental blessing. He's been strange

and we'll be driven out into the night
as in the melodramas. But I don't
really care any more, do you?"
She could not answer; and seeing
that she could not, he put his right
hand over her hand, and drove on
slowly, steering with his left, not
talking any more.
Suddenly she said: 81 love you; I'll
always love you." AS on that other
day with the October leaves bright
about them.
"Well then, Denise"
She was silent again, and he guess
ed at her thoughts. eff you love me,
isn't that the most important thing.
I decided that loving you was the
most important, for me-"
And she would never guess the hard
ness of the struggle toward that de-
cision, all the lonely weeks.
Keith, my dear, want to say
something that sounds terrible, only
I sha'n't mean it the way it sounds"
"Say ahead"
But she hesitated, thinking: eff
only could stop thinking, could drift,
could do what he wants, and not con-
slider what happens after!"
Then she said: 81 love you-and
I don't trust you at ALL"
"That's horrible enough" His
voice was unsteady.
GAIL I mean is this Keith; that I
don't trust you not to be sorry after,
if we were poor, and you couldn't
play around with painting, and life
was very dull"
He thought: Play around with
painting!' Yet she doesn't mean to
be cruel at all. That's just what she
believes I feel about it, and she's fair
ly nearly right" ..
"That's not all, Keith"
Something in the sound of those
four words made him turn to look at
her. She was weeping.
Denise, you mustn't cry. There's
nothing to cry about, surely"
Mother and Father would be so
wounded, so hurt"
care you weeping for them? Surely
they would want you to be happy?"
: "I wonder. Or whether they would
not prefer me to be honest, to keep
my promises"
To that, he found no answer.
And she said, in a small, hoarse
voice: "Take me home, my dear.

not ever have again, not ever. Please,
please, Keith, take me home"
Instead, he turned the car off the
main drive, stopped it, took her in
his arms. For a moment while his
heart stood still, she answered his
kisses. Then she turned her face
away from them, and he knew that
there was no use.
But stubbornly, outside her fathers
house, he said: Nothing is forever
nowadays, I'll wait for you"
She said only, "Good-by, my dear"
and went on up the stairs, steadily i.
But on the morning of her we'd
ding day those words of his repeated
themselves in her mind, over and
over, while her mother moved about
smiling gently, while the hairdresser
arranged her veil, while Father smok-
ed cigarette after cigarette in the
strangest silence.
Nothing is forever nowadays.
Nothing is forever nowadays"
The ceremony was to be at noon.
She and Gilbert were sailing at five
o'clock. Eleven o'clock came and
went past. Her mother left her to
go and receive the few guests. Her
father came in to see her in her we'd
kissed her and went away.
She was left alone with Felicia,
who was to be her only attendant, at
last. Still, Felicia had nothing to
say, except: "Put on just a bit of
rouge, Denise. Brides are always
too white. It's all the satin and lace,
of course, but it makes them look
panicky."
She put on rouge, delicately.
Felicia looked at her diamond wrist
watch. "Plenty of time, still. I told
Father to come back at five of, to
take you downstairs. Do you mind
having such little wedding? Mine
was so huge"
II shouldn't like big one."
"Well-"

"Your dress is lovely" It was ap-

"No one will notice anyone but
you."
Denise didn't answer. Nothing
nowadays is forever" and Nothing
nowadays is forever" was beating
through her temples as if her heart
itself was beating to that one re-
frain.
Felicia said suddenly: Darling, I
do want you to be happy" as if she
were pleading.
"I'll be all right, 1 expect"
