There was happiness In the enund of it, happiness, and shear unbelief, whilst her bluest of blue eyes wire shining. And Lydia Marks sullied, a little sceptically.

Mary laughed again, "Are you trying to frighten ma?" she demanded. "Heavens, no, I am onIY warning Yaui,, Mary was very happy and to- morrow she was going to be married to Richard Terrill, motor -car sales- man, traveller, and the most delight- ful lover in the world. Although that last should be put first in Mary's estimation, Terrill would come presently t • cleinl Mary an her last evening o F1'eecletn. And the smile had slip o .ped out et Lydiats eyes, "You ,were twenty when you cam to me, Mary," she went on. "An we have shared this studio fiat eve since, Rememt'er coming?" "Rather!" Mary, sitting In the second easy chair the room contained, looped a the straight bark of the girl in. the window, and a warm soft glow came into her eyes, She owed a great deal to Lydia Marks, And Mary could have no idea of the picture she made silting in that chair'.. Ts there any age better than twenty-two, when a girl's charms are in their sweetest bud Blue eyes, like the sea under a Mediter- ranean sky, golden brown hair, and I laughing lips. No wonder Richard Terrill loved her as the dearest thing God had ever nlacle. Neatly dressed, Mary'a short frock showed neatest, trimmest pair of legs in the world, and her hands were Uealiil- fully shaped—young, capable bands they were. She did remember coming to net flat and glanced round now at the COSY furnishing of the room—the sitting -room she had shared with Lydia for ;'aro years—and there: was warm remembrance in her heart. Up till then slit. lied Lived '111 her life in a little town 1n the North of England, and she had really believed she possessed the necessary talent for a career as an artist.

"For somebody who is not married you know a good deal about men,' She said, "But you don't know Dick."

" "I won't," Mary said softly. "And I wish"—she drew in a. little breath and stopped. She could har•lly say she wished Lydia Marks could experience a similar wonderful romance to her own, "I wish," she said instead, "you did not have such queer ideas of marriage, Lydia. I am sure they a: e all wrong, especially in connec- tion with Dick,"' "Queer?" Lydia retorted, her eyes still smiling. 'You are only a baby yet, and haven't tasted life!" "I am twenty-two." i "And I am. twenty-six." Lydia got I up abruptly from the low chair in i wh'.cb she had been sitting, and ' went to the window,' It looked out upon one of the side • streets of Chelsea, a dingy view, not at ell like the one that could be had from the 'bedroom window of the house to which Richard Terrill was taking Mary as a bride. That window Joked out over green fields and hills and trees, with a stream in the distance which show- ed like a thread of gold in the sun- light, and like tlppinng silver when the moon came cut. Lydia's back was turned to the younger girl, and she was looking one 1t was up this street that Richard „ "I know I ought to say . I am sorry," Mary said earnestly, "Anel I ani—in a way—but he is tattler epleedjd—isn't be?" t "Which rentseds me of what I was going to say," Lydia went on quite inexorably, "I can't say I have watched you ,row up but I can 853' I have grown to know you well in the past two years.

By which she meant Mary's work would always find a market even it it never commanded very good prices. • Mary's eyes smiled. She no longer had any illusion regarding her talent, but there would be no more need for pot-boilers from her, nor for ctny outer kind of pictures. with Dick. "1t is something you might remem- ber, my dear'," Lydia went on. "You 11 always be able to earn your living if you find the danger period too unbearable," •Mary laughed again—the; delic ions little sound. She liked Lydia too sincerely to take offence at Ibis frankness; besides, Lydia didn't really know Dick! "You have told me what you think about the dangers and pitfalls of marriage," she said. "And now I am going to tell you .what I think, and I ought to know because I am going to be married. It is Romance with a capital 'R.' Dick and I are made for each other; I know :hat." "All women were made for all men," seed Lydia sententiously, "But Dick Is different," "They all are." "Dirk is different!" Mary re- peated, but her bear was throbbing all the same.,, "It was a ease of love at first ;Tight between us," she went on breathlessly- "And that is the 'trues't and most wonderful love in the world. It is two hearts knowing each other as soon as they meet, and knowing they belong," "The heant is a deceptive thing," Lydia minlmured, ".Wasn't it at a dance wbere you first met the won- derful .Richard?" "Yes, I told you all about it the very first night I met him. Why?" "Blight lights, pretty frocks, scented hair, glamorous music, man and romance—with a capital 'R' if you like. Manbwit, my dear, and they rise to It like a flash, but the next day, figuratively speaking, when marriage has followed the ro- mance and there is no time for frilling out because of tending the baby and doing ordinary house- work—" So it was that when she wee left free to choose her own path she had come straight to London, and lo Lydia Marks' studio fiat in Chelsea, Lydba had advertised for a girl student who would be willing to share expenses and accommonila- blon, and Mary had seen that adver- tisement• Lydia had grey eye and Short-cut, rather striking black hair, and had shown her ability to take care of herself. She had, too, a growing connection among advertisers who commissioned work from her, and edi'tons who liked her drawings for illustnatlons. Mary knew she had a heart of gold for all her rather startling vi ewe, 'Yes, I do remember,' 'Mary said.
