looking over the sea towards the
Island of Capri. The dark amethys-
tine coast looked astonishingly clear
this morning 1t seemed hardly a
mile away. She remembered some
thing that Admiral Roscoe had told
her about this, and its meaning,
when the wind was from the north.
1t was very light wind at present,
but it seemed to be breathing from
that quarter.
That's where | should like you

Capri. II should like to see the
place where Tiberius amused him.

YOU have to say to me among the
ruins of your wicked old palace. 1t
would be wonderful to have you
making love to me out there.
I'VE might find some unspoiled
corner of one of your palaces, Ii
berius; perhaps the undiscovered one
from which the secret stair went
down to the bathing pool of the
sirens, in the Blue Grotto. No one
has ever found that winding stair
again; but somewhere on the cliffs
above, we might find corner of the
old palace.
II THINK | must have been one of
your dancing girls in the old days.
she went on. with a light laugh.
Perhaps we could find a smooth
piece of the old marble floor. and
would dance on it again for only
you.
"Afterward i suppose - ought
to lie at your feet on leopard skin.
while you tell me OF your old cruel
ties, Tiberius. Do you remember
how the messenger came one day
from your pro-consul in Judea -
certain Pontius Plate - and how
YOU laughed at his tale of that crazy
King of the Jews'?" She paused,
then added, as if it were an after
thought: Then, perhaps, we might
grow tired of remembering, and -
who knows? - we might find the
secret stairs, and go down to the
bathing pool of the sirens, in the
Blue Grotto."
Evelyn had thrown herself SO
completely into the crazy exaltatIon
of the part she was playing that she
seemed to have become a fiattering
feminine echo of Mardok's own
megaicmania. He replied in almost
the same key: And then, in the
Blue Grotto, where the fisher lads
used to dive for copper COINS. you
who are so beautiful swimmer
should dive for me, and should see
you floating up to me like slender
crescent moon in a bath of liquid

She said, Il thought smelt coffee"
The remark pleased him. He re-
sponded at once by filling cup for
her, almost as though he were re-
warding a refractory pupil for her
return to normal common sense. She
watched him as he did it. She fully
realized now that this moral blind
ness of his made her real self almost
invisible to him.
AT THIS point an idea flashed into
her mind. Her plan began to shape
itself more and more clearly - sug-
gested perhaps by her vivid remem-
brance of that former occasion, off
Capri, when he could not swim, and
she had an advantage over him. :.
Her apparent submissiveness and
anxiety to please had confirmed all
Mardok's theories of the essential
selfish nature of woman. He might
have expected some agitated refer
ence to the prisoner at Ravello. He
was taken on his blind side. how
ever, and incidentally delighted
when, after finishing her light break
fast in apparently contented silence.
Evelyn calmly turned to him and
said:
81 studied myself in the look
ing glass this morning. You said last
night that you had wonderful
scientific recipe. The woman you
loved would never grow wrinkled
and old. Is that really true?'
1T is really true. The last re-

Immortality" she whispered;
and for a moment there was look
in her eyes which might have en-
lightened him.
But it was not for Mardok to
suspect anything deeper

and with her fingernail made that
tiny arrow on it, pointing to the
word Assist. She was already form
ing her plans, preparing to go away
with Mardok, in the hope that she
might escape later and rejoin Mark
at their best alternative, Assist;
to which their enemy would have
no clue; in this way he would be
thrown completely off the track.
She hoped that if she could gain
time, Mark would escape: but at all
costs, she wanted to prevent him
from following her to Sorrento now.
for she knew that Mardok's boast
was not an idle one, and that Mark
would be powerless against his
weapons. So she told Mardok that
she would go with him willingly to
Sorrento.
WHEN they arrived at the Adml-
rails house, Mardok took her to a
room on the second floor where, he
said, she might finish her thinking.
The next day, he said, he would
expect her decision. He managed to
hint, subtly, that the future OF Mark
would depend on it. Yet he attached
great importance, apparently. to the
voluntary nature of her choice. 1t
was another characteristic instance
of the blind spot in his brain.
The future of Mark" she gath
cred. was not necessarily matter of
life and death, but something more
appalling - his usefulness in help
less enslavement, a physical subjec-
ton from which he could never
escape.
By the next morning, Evelyn had
formed her plan. She understood
now that the blind spot In Mardok's
brain - his absolute unawareness OF
anv moral law - was real weak
ness. and she concentrated upon it.
Clearly it was the one factor by
which he might be defeated. At the
very outset, it completely prevented
him from seeing that this newly
approachable woman was not being
her real self.
Very soon after it was light, she
heard him moving about on the floor
below, and shortly afterwards there
was faint fragrance of coffee. She
ioined him in the dining room, where
he had prepared light breakfast.
At the sound of her step he turned
abruptly. ready for her antagonism
and confident of mastery. At the
same time he was not in the least
surprised to see her smiling at him,
a little enigmatically, from the door
way
Nor, although her lover might
even then be at the point of death,
was Mardok surprised at the casual
ness of her attitude, or the apparent
callousness of her opening remark !:

S0robtin7ist ak

The effect Of aviation on the
world and its way Of living has not
yet been realized, Josh Lee declareas
yesterday before the Soroptimist
Club. Among changes which he
cited are taking place are greater
speed in business transactions, grad
ual redistribution of population rer
gardless of surface barriers, and ir-
crease in commerce and neighbory
illness.
The speaker who is a member IL
| the Civil Aeronautics Board and \
former Senator from Oklahoma j
widely known for his wit. He was
introduced by Mrs. Rose Cowen TO
club members as "the other Will
Rogers"
He became interested in aviation
at the time when England with the
greatest navy in the world and
France with the second greatest
army in the world lost their power
at the conference tables because Of
lack of air power. Before the fall
of Paris, he stated. 500 planes would
have insured that the Germans
would not pass. However. the 500
planes didn't arrive and Paris was
declared an open city.
Conservative thinkers who gauge
the future of aviation by the flow
bof traffic on sea and land are like
those who judged the future of rail-
roads by the flow of traffic in stage
coaches, the speaker said, adding
I'VE need figures plus vision"
AS for the safety of airplanes, he
thought it was a question whether
the taxi ride to and from the airport
| is not more dangerous.
AS a member of the Civil Aero
nautics Board, Mr. Lee deals with
the three RS of aviation-routes,
rates and regulations. Decisions
made by the board, he said, are
constantly reconsidered because Of
the amazing chronological advance
ment in aviation. Increase in the
altitude at which a plane can fly.
multiplied speed, increase in pay
loads, dangerous routes made safe
by radar and a number of other
factors change the picture from day
to day, he pointed out.
The former Senator brought his
remarks to a close, saying he
never tried to make, himself i'm
mortal by being eternal. Mrs. Zada
! Daniels, president of the Soroptimist
Club presided at the meeting.

difficult to get good look at the
rare tapestry, chairs and hangings
that Mrs. Vogel inherited from her
sister. the late Lady Henry of Lon
don. "Old friends" Mrs. Vogel
calls these furnishings that have
been in the family for generations,
and were the background for many
interesting gatherings.
There were yellow and rust
chysanthemums throughout the
house Yesterday and a decoration on
the buffet table that would have de-
lighted the youngsters out begging
for tricks or treats. A huge pump
kin with candlelight cleaning from
its eyes and nose and mouth was in
the center, surrounded by mounds OF
bright t-colored fruits and vegetables.
At both ends of the table were silver
trays of Smithfield ham, with paper
thin bread slices nearby for making
sandwiches.

Before she entered Wellesley her
interests we're well developed In
music and art. She went through
college, however, to avoid having
one sided interests. And she has
accomplished this extraordinarily
well. AS the beautiful wife OF dis
tinguished statesman, as talented
artist and as the mother of three
children. her life has many facets.
Time is spent each morning in
the studio, where paintings of tum-
ble-down shscks in Alexandria, blue
lilies on a Maryland farm, yellow
leaves on a Georgetown street, in
lets off Lake Michigan, skiing at
SCOTS Cobble, and number OF
other scenes fill the room.
The colors she puts into her work
look good enough to eat, and most
of her pictures are full of light. A
few fall scenes done in darker
shades and striking patterns are
interesting. but not as eye-catching
as the lighter ones. ....
One can see by her facile style
that she works with ease. AS one
writer said, Painting is as natural
as brea thing for Alice Acheson."
