FIRST INSTALMENT
When Joeelyne .forgettithg what her
Music teacher had taught her, played
music of her own, her mother, Mar
cella, was alanco.ed. It was like the
voice of a stranger ia the house.
Silo rose from the prie-dieu in an
alcove of th:e long Spanialelooking
room, &Moult to recegnize as tie liv-
ing room of a New York apartment,
and came forward past intervening
massive furniture to look at the play-
er.
There she sat, the daughter Mar-
cella had put into a foreign Convent
twelve yeale before, a smooth sleek
golden girl, eighteen; years old, full-
bosemed, narrow -waisted and round -
hipped.
"I want her to be safe," she had
murmured to a nun when twelve years
before she had left the little girl trem-
bling in the dim waxy -smelling par-
lor of the convent. And greeting her
only two days ago on the wharf of
her native city with all the strange
tall towers stretching up behi,rid them
Marcella had said again, to .the same
tun, twelve years older, more waxen
and more frail, "Oh, dear Sister
Delice, how. shall I keep
The music Jocelyn was playing now
v.luli that thunder look in. her eyes
and the bent position of her head, did
not sound safe. Jocelyn played grop-
ingly, changed the time, dropped into
a definite melody and began to sing
in French, softly. Marcella did not
understand all the words but she
made out that some &Old played in
the house, ran down the street, work-
ed in the garden with spade and hoe,
but that always suddenly, no matter,
what she did, something would cause
her to look sharply back over her
shoulder when . . . the little hump-
back crept up behind her . . And
this recurred in a refrain:
"Quand le petit bossu, ,
Vient se placer derriere mot"
It was a French nursery rhyme,
Marcella remembered, but the music
to which, this ,child of hers had put
it was not a nursery melody. It was
a Poe theme, a melody of fear. Le
petit Bossu was no friendly geniut
who played with children,. He was a
little monster, a little master, and
however the wretched haunted victim

chattier, pleasure or duty she under-
took, there of a sudden, casting a
cold seadiew or making the faint
sound of an uneven step, the little
humpback, rha foihad came to place
himself behind her.
Joeelyn: Harlowe's first ball -gown --
it was for a costume ball—was white,
as all first ball -gowns probably should
be. She was 'dressed conventionally
enough, as Juliet, in ivory satin with
a cap of pearls on her head and with
a rope of pearls wrapped about her
slim throat,
"I must marry this child quickly,"
Marcella thotight. Her own image,
tall anid black, stood like a shadow in
a mirror behtnd th.e radiant girl. "I
am neither gifted nor disposed for its
entegaianient or control. I must get,

In he:. terror Marcella actually us-

any tealization of what her mind trad

even instantly, as a murderer, instant-
ly conceives his weapon, a husband
in lier mind. It must bemanaged
quickly before Jocelyn, was fully
awakened to reality. She must be
made to long for it ignorantly as a
release.
Before Jocelyn's return from France
Marcella had been busy warming
chilled social contacts, melting the
edges from metallic connections of
one sort or another. She bad once
ha,di a great position in the oity and
it was not too difficult, in spite of
what had once shattered her life, to
wane something 'about the way you

allT"his was an address, altogether, dif-
ferent from any Jocelyn had yet re-

shadowy delicate thermion on the r)

"You're wrong. I've had an interest
in you for—let me see—twelve years."
"But you are -just seenly" seoffed
Jocelyn at her sweetest. "And I have
not any French accent at. all"
"Twelve years ago I sew you in a
bank in Parise You were on your way
to the. convent where your wise, wise
mother .bas' kept you jailed for all
these years. And I said to your
mother, 'Give me a aret Option whe.n
she comes out, won't you, Marcella?"
"But, Mr. Kent, you are not so old
as that?"
"I am ,nineteen years older than
you are, Miss JoCelyn. I was tweraty-
five when you stood in the Paris
bank and looked up at nee. You
weren't a pretty little, girl. But I
had a. sort of vision,. And even then
I liked the notion of a convent -bred

verted his large blue eyes, "wife," he
finished gravely. After a pause, "It's
more than a notion now that I and
close to you," even too close it seem-
ed to Jocelyn, "and looking into your
eyes and hearing you speak I see
that you'are really canventbred. How
long will that last through, here?"
"And any mother did give you a
first —option?" questioned. Jocelyn
with .her eyes down.
"She did, really. She said to me
that day in Paris, 'There isn't a mart
in the world.' I'd be so glad to trust
ther to, Felix. Will you wait?'"
"1 aro here," said Felix. "Thirty-
seven years old. Successful. Una.t-

"And you did wait Of 'course!"
"I wonder," sh,e spoke. =singly.

"But, dear dance the years between
six and eighteen are act years when
a gill, or a boy either, can be turned

"Are they not?" she said. "Some-
times I've dared to think, though na-
turally nobody cares what I think,
that a g: eat education for the world
would be to live in it."
"Life for a girl should sbegin with
her marriage."
"That is what .bhey taught us at the
cenvent. I .did not knew. you believed
that here."
Kent laughed. But he was' giddy
and filled with instant fear, There
had never in the world been a lovely

gry, so ignorantly passionate, and so

Pitgrime arriving at LOurdes are
met by volunteer workers. The mir-
acles have dravrn thundred4 of peni-
temt veluniteers, to aid the Pilgrims
under the direction of two French
Catholic ‚societies. These societies
include princes and baesine, sehool-
teac hers and bookkeepers. The men
act as brancerdiers (stretcher bear-
ers) and the wernen as nuns -es, dish-
washers, coons. 'Thee volunteers
make it possible for thousands of the
needy to Visit Lourdes at a minimum
of expense.

SNAPSHOT ODIDITIES
Giant frog. Some wag painted eyes and mouth on a big roadside boulder—
and an alert picture -taker came along and snapped an excellent "oddity"
picture. Keep your eyes open for things such as this—they add interest to
your album.
DO YOU keep your eyes open for
odd and curious things which
might be material for an "unusual
picture" section In your,. snapshot
album?
Watch for such subjects when
you are on a picture -taking Jaunt,
and you may be surprised at the
things you find. Oddly twisted treet
that look like old men—a freakisb
bit of architecture—a wall -shadow
that looks like a human face In pro-
file—an unutually realistic scare-
crow in a fartner's field—novel
cloud forms—Tall these are candh
dates for the "unusual picture" col-
lection.
Observe reflections, too. Picture
the upside-down reflection of a
building in water. Turn the picture
right side up, and the water ripples
look like heat waves. Extreme angle
shots of mine subjects, taken With
camera pointed atraight tip or
straight down, aften produce weird
effects, Per exam*, put the paraeia
On the ifocir it the heft* Of a *di -
lighted circular istairtaiie and take a.
"straight -up" shot—with short time
exposure if you have a slow tamera,
or a snapshot if your camera has a
fast bens. The resulting picture will
be fantastic—but a good subject for
your album.
Shadows often produce picture
oddities. Shadows of bars at the zoo
may pet a striped coat on a lion.
Curved surfaces, auch as a,chrom-
iuna bowl or convex mirror, produce
oddly distorted reflections yeu can
picture. And here's an idea: put a
small subject such as a kitten or
puppy on a. glass -topped lawn table,
and snap a picture from tinderneath.
If you take care that the glass picks
up no reflections, it will be inviaible
—and the subject will seem to be •
floating in air!
These pictures are fun—both to
take and to sho.tv to yent friends, A,t
