CHAPTER VIII,
Carnival
Three weeks had gone by, and
Taney- still in her little room at
' Brixton, was dressing for a big,
Public ball to which she had beguile
ed Ralph into taking her. He had
not needed much beguiling. He was
ready for any amusement in these
days.
In the day time he was still a
bank clerk, but in the evenings the
butterfly emerged from the chrysal-
is. and he became the young man
about town, with a charming com-
panion to help him to be gay.
He was young enough and reek•
les:, enough to care more for the
fleeting joy of the present than for
the uncertain future.
After -years of enforced catetal•
'less he spent freely—and Tansy
helped him,
Ile took her to dances -or theatres
almost every night. He sent her
all the costly little luxuries that
girls love—flowers, bonbons, 103s
and trinkets, .And as It was clear
that she must he suitably dressed to
;o about with hint, be allowed' her
to buy whatever she fancied is the
way of clothes, and gaily paid the
hills.
Ralph, with some lingering rem-
nant of prudence, or some scruple
as to his recently -broken engage-
ment. had not suggested an in: -
mediate wedding.
Iiut Taney was sure of him now,
"We'll go for our honeymoon as

velvet cloak with a collar of silver
fox and a lining of rose and silver
brocade, to wear over her evening
dress, and Ralph was' sending a
motor for her.
She felt very pleased with her es-
cort when they met. She had al-
ways admired Ralph's looks, and he
appeared distinguished in a mill,
Lary costume of some mythlual
State, taken from a popular light
opera,
It was remarkable how easily he
had slipped into touch with titin
Dow lite. Though only a few weeks
had passed since his parting with
Dora, it already seemed years ago,
When he left the bank--mhlolt he
was soon to leave for everMhe drop-

out for life, prieoned -within the
breast of the routine -bound dao.
A Ralph with freedom to roam the
world, and make his bid for happi-
ness, 'take his chance of ecstasy or
misery.
He gave himself little time for
thought, Tansy was waiting for
bine, and the world of pleasure was
opening Rs doors to them both.
Tansy was !:articularly elated on
the night of the ball, Once or
twice she had encountered old ac-
quaintances, but nobody who
mattered much.
Here she was sure to meet people
she knew, and site was beautifully
dressed, she had a handsome escort,
site wanted to be seen.
In spite of his widening ideas
Ralph had rather a shock when he
saw her without ber cloak. He
wished site had not displayed her
charms brite so freely to the public
gaze.
''Don't you like it?" she asked,
looking dleappointed,
"It's rather theatrical, isn't it,
dear?" he answered, "It stakes
you look adorable," he added beet-
ilye "But I should like it to be
for me—just ole,"
"Silly boy:" She laughed, "It in
jIlat for you, really, Nobody else,
matters."
In the ballroom were many cos-
tumes far more startling than
Tansy's.
Ralph bad never neer to a ball
like it before, and int spite of the
gaiety of the scene, ne had a sense
of loneliness; even with Tansy be•
side him. All these people in their
varied costumes, . gorgeous or
grotesque, were strangers.
The scene, with its fantastic dec-
oratieus. was like a Place In a
dream, There was a babel of ,'Dices
and laughter. The constant whirl
of +lancing figures constantly form-
ed fresh combinations of colour,
and the dance and the music was
wild in its invitation to carnival
merriment.

ers. He had made wonderfii pro-

"A girl 1 used to know and the

"You seem to know a lot of
people," Ralph remarked.
It had begun to dawn on hint be-
fore to -night that Tansy's know•
ledge of London's world of pleasure
was rather remarkable in a quiet
little nursery -governess,
Out she always explained it by
her sojourn with the wealthy and
indulgent old lady, whose son had
persecuted her,
That night she exchanged nods
and smiles with seperal people, and
even paused to talk to some,
'there were ladies with free -and

He was not happy as the night

half formed suspicion, and yet it
was certain that the Tansy of to-
night was a very different being
from the gentle little creature whom
he had first met in the Sheidous'
drawing-roo-m.
He had had several shocks lately,
for Tansy, at first on her guard, was
getting careless,
She was as loving and fascinating
as ever, but in many ways she was
revealing herself to him in a differ-
ent light then that 1n which be bad

They went up to the box where
Phyl was playing the hostess.
Half a dozen people were there,
an Bobby was ordering an extrava-
gant supper wl!h wines and liqueurs

Pityl gave Ralph a seat beside a
red-haired, girl dressed as a Ban
Chante, with real grapes hanging
from the fillet that bound her curls'.
She was a beautiful creature, the
faourite model of the sculptor we ho

SUMMER CLOUDS AND SKiES ,J
Clouds help your outdoor pictures. Use a color filter to record them more
effectively.
SUMMER is the outdoor season, responding shade of gray instead of

picture charms is its wonderfully
rich blue skies against which cloud
masses stand out in magnificent full-
ness and contrast. Given two pic-
tures of identical subjects in which
the sky appears, it's a safe wager
that your attention will be held by
the one effectively showing the
clouds against a gray sky and not
the one with the unnatural and un-
attractive flat, white firmament.
Here Is the way to picture clouds
