"Prnejell right, I tell ycu l"
TheiNeilsen understood.
"Yoet'd better go home to bed," he
seid, throwing down his brush.
Without a word she went out to the
dressing room., When she came back,
ready for the street, she was very
meek.
"Shall I come back after lunch?"
"No—not till te-merrow,"
He didn't turn around. She opened
the door to go, A panic came to him.
She might not come back to -morrow!
"Aimee!"
"Yes, Mr. Neilsen?",
"I didn't mean to be cross. I was
disappointed—that's all. You Won't
fail me in the morning, will you? If
you aren't up to it, telephone me."
"Of course I won't fail you." A tear
rolled over one of her lids. She twist-
ed about and swallowed. "I --I'm
awf'ly sorry, Mr. Neilsen, but—but I
hadn't–Fad any fup in. God.knewS how
long, and—you see, Hortense's friend
has as college chum in town, and --
and we went out to a place to dance,
and—I had a little too mudh to drink."
Neileen said nothing. His ideas on
such things were a generation back.
He didn't want to discuss it with her.
At the same time, it rather toughed
him to have her admit it.
"Well, please don't do it again,"
he said finally.
"I was afraid you'd let me go for
good, if you found old."
"For good!" He swept se hand in
the direetion of the 'sketches. "Do
you thin I'd let ,y,e,.q..go now, after
making all those,?'
"I'm ,awfly glad! I told that fe;-.
low those highballs had a terrible
kick."
"Have you another date with him?"
"Y -yes, but it's for Saturday night,
and we don't work Sundays. AnyhoW,
I'll be careful."
Neilsen sighed.
When she had gone he sat down
and stared around. Hundreds 'of
sketches of that girl! Any one of them
was saleable as it etood. He knew
they were good. Beautiful, lithe
young Aimee! He was putting her
into the best work he had ever done.,
He hoped, modestly, to iminortalii,e
her a little; and she could go out and
drink too my highballs 'with some
body's college chum!
He felt a destructive mood descend-
ing :upon him. He feared that mood;
so he turned his back on the studio,
clapped on his hat and went out. He
had a vague idea of going somewhere
to think.
He took the subway to 125th street
and ferried to New Jersey. He rode
on a trolley car to the .top of the
Palisades. Leaving the highway, he
scrambled down the cliff and through
undergrowth until he came to a com-
fortable ledge of rock.

THE PRINCESS COAT. '
The princess flare comes straight
from Paris, and is exemplified in the
graceful lines of the coat pictured
here. It is styled with just enough
flare to make it new, and still be
smart in successive 'winter modes. The
new standing collar, cuffs and lower
edge of the coat are generously trim-
med with fur, while two novel -seeped
buttons accent ,the double-breasted
dosing. The fur trimming may be
omitted, and still leave a graceful
and practical coat. Simple, straight
seams are used in this coat, making
