by ELIZABETH SAN CAY HOL-DiNC
(Continued from lest week)
She said no, that she wasn't.
"Could you set slime? Next Wed-
nesday?"
And' she said she thought that
would do.

"You don't mind, if r go out to tea
on Wednesday, do you?" Frances ask-
ed Miss Eppendorfer the next morn-
ing.
"Not a bit!" said she, cheerfully.
"I like to see you enjoy yourself like
a human being. Is it your English
friend'?„
"Yes. The only 'trouble is, I haven't
a thing fit to wear, and it's at a ho-
tel," she said. "Couldn't you come
down town with me and help me
pick out something?"
Miss Eppendofrer was only too
pleased; it was one of .her good days
and she was cheerful and energetic.
She led Frances from shop to shop,
imperiously rejecting every sugges-
tion'.
"I know what suits you," she insist-
ed', "I'm a wonderful judge of value,
too. You leave it all to me."
At last she was pleased by a grey
broadcloth suit.
"Oh, yes!" cried Frankie, ironical-
ly. "A hundred and fifty dollars is
just what I always' pay!"
"I'm going to get it for you-"
"Oh, no, I couldn't!" she protested,
shocked.
"You must. To 'make up for all I
said that night," whispered the auth-
oress. "Be generous, Frances! Don't
be petty!"
She allowed herself to be persuad-
ed, 'accepted the spit and with it a
new hat and blouse. She felt guilty
and ashamed and yet delighted. She
.c as so .very anxious to make a fav-
orable impreselon on this brother
Horace.
She started off, very nervous and
still more ashamed. The whole ex-
ploit seemed wrong, meeting the man
lth'out his wife, and wearing clothes
she -could' never have bought for her-
self. . . . It was common.
"Cheap," she reflected.
But Horace would have made a su-
per -club respectable, -°'They were wait-
ing tn• the corridor; she saw her Mr.
Naylor at once though he didn't see
her; slender and drooping, quietly
conscious of his impeccable British
elegance, he was watching 'the wrong
dloor. Near him was a 'heavy, bull-
necked, red-faced man with a black
moustache and melancholy, bilious
eyes, wh'o smoked a big cigar and
stared nowhere. This was Horace.
He surprised Frances by his lack
of everything that pleased her in Its.
brother. He was altogether the mer-
chant, not a hint of the man -of -the -
world. He shook hands with her and
Smiled, but it was a sad, dull smile.
He was distrait, and couldn't conceal
it.
"Well,", he said., with a sigh, "Lead
the way, Lionel, my boy!"
They entered' an engaging little
tea-room with shaded lamps and sof-
as. Lionel took charge of everything,
chose a table and ordered the cock-
tails, but the management of the con-
versation was evidently beyond him.
There was a long and awkward sil-
ence, while the drinks were coming.
No one looked at either of .the oth-
ers.
Ft was.. Horace who first reviveai;
after two cocktails. •
"Well," he observed again, "he's a
Ivandful. You'll have to keep an eye
on him, I can telt you."
Frances was startled; was he talk-
ing to her? . . . She looked up and
caught his gaze, melancholy and
kindly, fixed on her.
"You'll have all you can manage,
with him," he continued.
She was a'larm'ed and confused. It
wasn't possible ,that he thought
And yet, very evidently, he did think
so, for he went on, with a ort of
gloomy archness:
"I hope he won't be too much for
you."
She was anxious to refute the sug-
gestion of any responsibility for Lion-
el, to tell this brother, subtly and
politely, but unmistakably, that he
misread the situation. But she could
not, on the spur of the moment, think
of anything that would do.
"I don't really know Mr. Naylor
very well," she attempted.
Horace smiled.
"Plenty of time!" he said.
And this time his glance wandered.
to his brother, and was curiously al-
tered, rested upon that futile young
face with limitless fidelity and affec-
tion- •
-
"Yes," he said again, fatuously,
"you'll have your hands full." ,
Frances had a "'horrible feeling of
being caught in a net
"I'm afraid I can't undertake suoh
a responsibility," she said, with a
sickly smile.
Horace smiled indulgently at 'bei.
After a third cocktail, be was becom-
ing a little garrulous on the subject
of his brother; partly because he
thought it would interest Frankie and
partly because it was his great topib
anyway. His pride in his brother was
rather surprising to Frankie; she
couldn't know, of course, from what
a stodgy, obscure family this charm-
ing irresponsibility ,rad sprung,
couldn't imagine how .audacious hie
extravagances appeared, how remark-
able his social progress; in. fine, she
couldn't see him as ax Naylor.
It was not until much later that
she divined something of the rela-
tions betwee'n these two: Sons of a
well-to-do nt'am ifacturor, they had
both "received advantages" in the
way of education, and so forth, but
while Horace remained immutably
the son of a wealthy manufacturer
who had had' "advantages," Lionel in
sonl'e mysterious Way, not nntisual In
tlii,9 World,. had turned out to be aria-
ttociatte, elegant fe;Shitonable.

he athwiredi, Lionel as he did royalty,
not very useful, but immensely valu-
able in his place. li'enever urged
him to go into business; he was quito.
satisfied, that he should go his own
dazzling way. For Horace was not
the classic bu'sliness man of stage
and story, who despises• and berates
the idler; he was something -much
newer, the money-maker who is apol-
ogetic and secretly bewildered; who
feels called upon to justify his activ-
ity. Lionel was what he would have
liked to be, only that he knew it to
be impossible. He acknowledged
that they were of different clay.
He told Frankie how Lionel ,had no
idea of time, and_ was always late.
How he kept the most exclusive
people waiting for him and never
had a proper excuse.
How he spent preposterous sums
on handkerchiefs, his hobby.
How altogether idle and rude and
popular he had been "at home."
In spite of her common sense,
Frankie began to feel that the atten-
tions of such a man were something
to boast of, to treasure. He wasn't
rude to her, ever.
After a fourth cocktail 'and a min-
ute sardine sandwich, Horace said be
was obliged to go.
"Au revoir!" he said to Frankie,
with a very bad accent. "If this boy
gives you any trouble, you let me
know, eh?"
He clasped her hand in his warm,
moist one with genuine good -will,
slapped Lionel on the shoulder, and
went out, edging his way clumsily
among the little low tables,.
Lionel gave a sigh of comfort, and
leaned across the table.
"May I have another cup?" he ask-
ed. -
Frances' was looking at him stern-
ly.
"Mr. Naylor!" she said, "you have
given your brother a false impression.
He was startled.
"I . . so it seeing," he said,
weakly, "I . . he does seem . ."
"It isn't fair," she went on, "I'm
surprised at you! What could I do?
Or say? Mr. Naylor, really, it was
not right of you ! "
"I know it . . But I give you
my word I never exactly said -any-
thing. I dare say I was -oh, enthus-
iastic . I suppose he drew his
own conclusions."
He went on, after a pause:
"I did talk a lot about you .
You see---"
• He tapped his cigarette nervously
on his plate.
"I say!" he said. "Couldn't it be
true, you know?" , . -.
She understood him well enough,
and a bright color surged into her
face.
"What?" she asked, disingenuous-
ly.
"I mean -what Horace thinks • .
I mean -do you think you could-"
She faltered.
She really understood very little of
it. Miss Eppendorfer, although pro-
testinginstantly how she "loved"
Kurt, seeined actually to display more
hate -than affection. She bore him a,.
bitter grudge for this "love:" She,
was full of stories of his sneers, his
taunts; :how he had pulled, the pias
out of her hair and then laughed
himself sick at the bleached and
scanty locks. How' he compared her
to other women whom he had seen
in the course of the day; how he had
asked her to sing, and then mocked
her. How he wasted her money and
forever demanded more. She knew
that he ridiculed her to his friends.
He encouraged her to drink and then
got her to sign cheques. . .
- Tire end of her recital left her
stripped of all decency, ,all honour,
showed her a weak fool destroyed by
a vice, something to shudder at: yet
her honesty, her lack of self-justifica-
tion, the eternal and naked human -
nese in, it all, touched even the fas-
tidious young girl.
"This awful thing is I!" the wo-
man seemed to say.
"This is my soul. M'ay God help
me, and Man pity me!"
Frances sat beside her till he fell
asleep, wiser, kinder, better th she
,rad.. ever been before.

I
I stick to it that it's no Place for you."
They didn't talk mob more on the
way down; Mr. Naylor watt too -Much
occupied with his driving, which was
minutely careful. He took no risks;
and he muttered furiously against
those who did. He seemed to Fran-
kie unnecessarily prudent;'s'he would
have liked to go faster as lots • .of
other cars did. However, a look at
his frowning face reproved! her; she
felt that this driving business must
bemore difficult, more perilous than
her inexperience imagined.
As soon as they reached the beach
he proposed taking their swim at
once, and she very readily agreed.
Poor girl! She hadn't been in the
sea for years, since those long gone
days, those happy days when she bad,
been a school girl. She was, it must
be admitted, rather eager to "show
off to her Englishman, for she was
a good swimmer, and not at all an
unpleasant object in a bathing, suit.
She came out of her bathhouse and
walked down on to the beach, con-
scious of h11r splendid symmetry, her
strong, straight limbs, ther face gay
and- boyish under a tight rubber cap.
It was obvious to both of them at
once that Mr. Naylor was physically
not at all her equal. Gone his chic,
his superiority; he was thin, fragile,
rather wretched. Within her stirred
and crushed out through generations
faintly an old; old instinct, perverted
of false training, the instinct of the
woman to seek for strength and beau-
ty in her mate. Her smile was arti-
ficial.
"Beastly cold!" he grumbled.
But Frances, dashed by him, through
the breakers, and began swimming
out in strong and beautiful strokes,
'her bare arms flashing up rhythmical-
ly, her white teeth showing in a
broad smile. She Iooked back and
saw Mr. Naylor moving slowly neat
the shore; after ten minutes or so' he
came out on to the sand, and lay in
the sun watching • her:' .And -present-
ly began to wave.
She came inshore reluctrantiy.
"What is it?" she asked. "It's
glorious in the water to -day. I never
want to come out!"
"It's time to come out now," be
said.
"Oh, it can't be! I'll have to stop
longer!"
"But I say, ,I want my lunch. This
isn't much of a lark for me, you know
roasting out here' like this."
"Why don't you go back into the
water again?"
"I can't. It gives me a chill"
"A child!" said Frances, and•
couldn't keep a faint contempt out of
her voice. "You'd better -go and dress
-I'11 be out pres.ently."
"I shouldn't think of leaving you ;
you're so rash. Go ahead, enjoy your-
self; I'll wait."
His good nature conquered Frances
-she gave one more look at the glit-
tering sea and went back into her
bathhouse.
She had to wait quite twenty min-
utes for him.
"You're quick, aren't you?" be said,
artlessly.
"Or is it that you're slow?" she re-
turned. Now he was his own self a-
gain, the imperturbable, the superior.
She wished to forget the s'hiv'ering.
frail being who had for a time sup-
planted him.
He ordered an amazing lunch, in
the old "Oriental," which was still
standing then, with its unique flav-
our; he saw people' whom he knew by
-tight and oould point out to Frankie.
He ordered champagne, which she
had never before tasted. He was
like a prince, or rather, like a mil
1 o1aire.
After this meal, which was nothing
less than a banquet. Frances said she
would have to go home.
"The awful cook's gone out," she
explained, "and' I'll have to help poor
Mis,, E. to get something ready."
"What!" he cried. "Do you mean
to tell me you're going to cook!"
"And eat," she answered, cheerful-
ly. "Please don't be mediwval."
"I don't like it. A girl of your class
-ands your ability-"
They were spinning along the road
by the marshes, passed by an inces-
sant stream of motors going down.
"It's a confoupd shame to go home
now anyway," he said. "If we could
only have had the evening!"
"Another time," she said, before
she thought, and was rather confus-
ed at her own forwardness.

"I can't tell you how much f -like to
be with you. I -altogether -I've nev-
er met anyone like you. . . . I'm
very anxious for old Horace to see
you. . . . Do you suppose you could
meet him some time? Without his
wife, I mean? It's irregular, I know,
but you're not conventional."
"I don't know - . . It's been such
Mr. Naylor telephoned the next
morning. _
"I'm waiting downstairs in the
hall," he said. "I don't care to come
up."
Frances hurried into her hat and
jacket and went down. She got into
the motor car\ beside him, indescrib-
ably relieved to get away from the
flat for a while. She booked at him
with a simile.
"Well!" she said.
"Well!" he repeated. "Upon my
word, that was a jolly little party
bast night! That German chap!"
"You domr't know how sorry I felt,
bringing that on you. But, of course,
I never imagined"
"You know, though, it's no place for
you, Miss Defoe. That woman's

"Please! You really can't under-
stand her as I do. She -really, she
is . . ."
She stopped at a loss, but quite de-
termined to protect the poor wretch
who had begged for pity the •night be-
fore.
"She has so many good points,"
she went on, "Oh, I'm not quite an
idiot, Mr. Naylor, . . . I see her as
she is.' Only -I'd rather dwell on her
good qualdttes. She's been very kind

Notme.for worlds would she have/ told
anyone of the two dreadful Scenes.

a short time-" '
"You know that doesn't matter.
Time! Why, the first minute I 'saw
you, there in that beastly school, I
knew I was done for. You looked so
lovely and so dignified. Such a lady.
Just the sort of girl I'd always
thought about. My lovely girl! My
dear, beautiful, girl!"
For some reason her eyes filled
with tears. His voice touched her so,
moved her so profoundly. She couldn't
pretend, couldn't hesitate. Because
she knew too, perfectly well. She
looked up at him with 'a trembling
smile.
"It's silly!" she said. "We tron't
know each other."
"I know you, darling, as well as if
I'd seen you every day for a year."
"But, really, we must `be sensible,"
she said, seriously, "We'll have to
wait: not comlmit ourselves to any-
thing definite. We'll be friends -"
"Not I! I want to commit myself
as much as possible. Won't 'you com-
mit yourself just a little bit, darling
girl? Just go so far as to say you
like me?"
"You know I like you." she said,
smiling.
He could laugh now, tease her; he
knew she was: won.
They left the tea room and began
to stroll down Fifth Avenue. And at
every crossing he took her arm and
their eyes mets and a ridiculous and
passionate happiness' filled them both.
"My girl!". he whispered.
Frances was .almost ashamed of
being so happy; and was anxious to
appear practical and reasonable. She
said she had shopping to do, and that
Lionel might come with her,' if he
liked. He insisted upon augmenting
her little purchases, choosing very
expensive things, and things' he had
realized she wanted. In spite of her
independence, all this was delightful
to her; she hesitated, refused, accept-
ed. . . .
A shop girl looked' after them, was
amused at their long, long glances
and their unwarranted smiles: she
thought them a well -matched couple,
both so tall and so nice looking and
so well-bred. And she was very
bright; they were well ematched, by
God Himself, Who had filled Lionel's
need of a strong and sober and hon-
est lover, who had given to Frankie
the gay and careless companion her
(heart required, the clinging and exi-
gent affection she could so well sup-
port. Lienel had the power to soften
the .touch of austerity latent in her,
the hint of priggishness; she had the
nobility and the resoluteness which
he needed as an example, a stimulus
to his plastic n
"soul. They had, i
each other's coanpany, a sense of ab-
solute completeness. and satisfaction;
they knew that this love was' alto-
gether right.
Frances inspected the new pocket-
book the had bought her, so unneces-
sa'ily and unsuitably costly, and then
again at Lionel's happy face. And
she would have liked to cry out what
she and all wdraen know enough to
conceal:
"Oh, my love, I want to protect
you, to care for you, to shield your
raw pride, forever and. ever to stand
between you and the world!"
And that mustn't be said. She knew
she must calf his weakness strength,
or she would destroy him. No man
must ever see his true self mirrored
in a woman's eyes. He could' not en-
dure it.
not scold me. Don't you want me to'
have any, pleasures, at all?"
"That's not the question. Oh, Lion-
el, we could have just as nice a time
without being so dreadfully wasteful.
It's . . . why, Lionel, it's mad!"
She had a genuine dislike for ex-
travagance and frivolity. Old tradi-
tions from .remote Defoe ancestors
urged her always toward prudence
and restraint. She really couldn't en-
ter into Lionel's mood, couldn't for a
moment he careless, and would never
pretend to be. She wanted dignity
and purpose ; she was fond enough of
fun, but it wasn't his kind. She could
not enjoy watching other people
spend money. Lionel didn't care to
swim, or to walk; he was quite hap-
py to sit on a crowded veranda,
drinking cocktails and chaffing his
serious girl. He was happy now, in
watching the streams of people go-
ing in and, out of the hotel, over=
dressed, over -perfumed, over -fed, ov-
er -stimulated. But there was nothing
here for Frankie.
All this life that Lionel had pulled
her into distressed her. He had urg-
ed her to give up her business course,
and instead they went out same-
where every evening. Miss Eppen-
dorfer was always ready to let her
go, as long as she wasn't left alone.
She absolutely approved of Lionel:
From her point of view, he was the
ideal lover, attractive and lavish. He
was continually bringing presents to
Frankie, flowers, chocolates an d
books. He refused . to, believe that
she was not very fond of sweets, and
was deaf to her hints that her taste
in reading was not his. She felt like
a prig, a bluestocking, with her per-
petual advice and rebuke. Her ser-
ious soul was in revolt against this
waste of time; often when they were
at some blatant cabaret, she would be
longing for her quiet /bona and a
good book. She was really weary of
this ceaseless pleasure -hunt, disgust-
ed, and yet hadn't the heart to deny
his pleasures to Lionel. He never
react a book, and was no more cap-
able or desirous of quiet than a small
boy.
She took it for granted that he was
more or less a rich man, and that
as his wife she would be obliged to
endure a good deal of this sort of
existence. She did ask• him, though,
if .he wouldn't just as soon, • live out of
town. and he said, whatever she lik-
ed. So she was able to picture her-
self in one of those charming subnr-
ban houses on the Sounds with a fine
garden, and horses, and dogs. And
undoubtedly children; lovely, happy
children.
He had started to work in his bro-
ther's onice, which pleased Frankies
for she had the American woman's
dislike for an unoccupied man. He
said he was doing well, and talked of
an early marriage:, But that, too, was
against Frankie'eA principles. She
wanted to wait, hot because she
wasn't sure of herself or of lhinr, but
because a 'hasty marriage appeared
somehow indecent to her. She even
refused to tell her own people.
"Waist till I've known you a little
longer," she said.
Taken all in all, this "being engag-
ed" was not what Frankie bad ex-
pected, was by no means the happiest
time of her life, as s'be had always
been told it would be. With Lionel,
per se, she could find no fault. If
he had been made to order for a De-
foe he could not have been more sat-
isfactory. He was almost like a bro-
ther in his manner, never too ardent,
too pressing, or in any way offend-
ing her squeamishness. It was Poli
this she really adored. hitt% for his
