a woman's help to succeed in business
or a pretension, though her sympathy
and encouragement are always benefi-
cial, but In assisting the poor It seems
to me a helpmeet is almost neceseary."
"Really," remarked the decorate?.
"you have quite Interested me In this
Mr. Blakeslee. But I am not work-
ing. 1 must be tip and doing."
Sbe arose and resnmed her work.
1 In a few days the decorator had late

the purpose. The arrbItect perfected
bin plans for the renovation and en.
largement of the house, and mason'
began to lay the neceseary founds-
tlonn. He and Miss Strang met every
day, and wben the additions were
well under way, they were continually
working together to effect a harmony
of construction and decoration.
"Nature works," said the architect
"in doubles. In complements -what

There Wen something in hie tone In
referring to the owner of the place
the architect's and the decorator's
tamtes that made the latter lower bee
eyes. For the find time It occurred to
her that he was using this man
Blakeelee to illostrate what be hatl in

Wetly, love. The man was debt in
predicting that the two profeasions
were corelative, but It was doubtless
thla commingling of hearts that fur-
nished the inspiration for the beautiful
interior which was gradually forming.
Miss Strang felt obliged to admit that
those suggestions resulting In the
greatest perfection were made by the
architect But the realization of this
did not come when the suggestions
were made, for at their inception bee
collaborator bad the art to Invariably
cause her to think the idea was her
own.
At last the work was finished, and It
was a veritable "thing of beauty."
"I am sorry to leave It," geld Miss
Strang. "I have so enjoyed Ito devel-
