(Continued from last week).
Not with impatience, aatd- toot wltl
resignation, but with a 'mixture of the
two, he tapped on the bedroom door.
It was opened by the maid - the
French girl, who had regarded him
either as a lover or a Would-be lover,
certainly not as a 'husband.
Before she could speak his wife
said: "Erskine! Good heavens, why
do you have to knock on ,such .a day??"
The sarcasm made him squirm. He
went in all the same. He, had never
been there before. He felt like a man
who
had been •hired
to adjust
t the tele-
phone
or mend the leg of a chair•..
.But he instantly liked the place. It
was .Spartan in its. severity. It might
have been the room of a girl in a
school given up to athletles, •
The bed was small`" and narrow,
drawn into the bay of the window.
The floor was polished and carpetless.
There were one or two Wicker arm-
chairs such as one • would have ex-
•pected:to see on a houseboat run by
an impoverished artist- The only
thing which had any 'claim to elabora-
tion was the dressing -table, upon
which there were dozens of bottles
of scent. The usual `impedimepta
were plain and simple. More like
those of a man. There wasn't a ward-
robe in sight. He supposed his wife
kept her clothes in her dressing room.
Nor was there a picture, a book or
even a magazine. It was the room in
which a woman who was surrounded
with too' Much beauty devoted herself
to sleep. A
A strange side to his wife's charac-
ter, he thought.. He had expected to
see an exquisite place, feminie, sen=
sual, soft.
Evidently just out of her bath Hel-
en was sitting in a sort of monk's
robe of, white coarse stuff and her
face was clean for once.
"Putual, as usual," she said...
"I hurried rather. I wanted to` see'
you for a moment. What on. earth
are you going to tell all these people
about Jean? Won't it, seem odd to
them that she's not here tonight to
assist in the celebration of this touch-
ing event?" -
Helen. laughed. "What do you take
me. for? I- haven't been doing this
sort of thing all these years without
having . become a perfect master in
the white lie, business. If anyone asks
me where she is, which I doubt; Y
shall say that the poor child has had
to go to bed" with a slight attack "of
laryngitis..." She's' aroken-hearted, of
course. How's that?": '
'"Hopeless," said Farquhar_
Helen looked u'p• with a challeng-
ing expression. Very few people dar-
ed to criticize whatever she said or
did.
"Why, .pray?"
"For the simple and awkward ,rea-
son that her name was in the paper
today among those sailing on the
"Olympic." I saw,it there myself."
'Helen ran a eomb through her hair.
"Oh," 'she said. "I see. Very nice,
of you to tell me. Well. then, I shall
say that her aunt is a little feeble
and begged her to go to London in
order to cheer her up. It will sound
all the better I say who is her
aunt." •
• "All right," Said Farquhar. "Let's
say that. What we must avoid at all
costs is anything on which gossip can
be based -anything. that can be used
by the society scavengers On which to
build up a paragraph full of gleeful
filthiness."
"Exactly," said Helen. "The. longer
I live the more I dread publicity and
the wryrse it seems to get. Civiliza-
tion?"
She shrugged her shoulders, one of
which, :very white and smooth, had
escaped. Brom her bathrobe.
"Hew many .people have you invit-
ed for tonight? Have you ,got a
frightful crowd?"
"Perfectly frightful," she said. "Ev=
erybody. All the old stand-bys, every
heterogeneosu title in New*fork and`
one or two, new arrivals in -order to
give them a thrill. •.It's , quite an ev-

Immediately: What
are you living
now?' and is your name this
time?'"
"Yes, I suppose it's come to that."
She looked up. at him with a Tquiz-
zical smile. "I know that I needn't
be worried as to. your attitude 'to-
night. You. plait ball awfully well. I've
always been able to''say that," -
She held out her hand as she would
to- an opera singer whose voice she
was able to praise.
And as he was familiar 'with the
ways of opera singers, having served
an early apprenticeship in the en-
tourage of one, he took it, bent over
it, and raised it to ,his lips.
"You're learning tact," he said, and
there was, laughter' in his eyes.

She hummed the latest of the lin-
gies, shook her shoulder, flipped `her
fingers, rolled her eyes, and danced
about the room. •
"By Jove," said Farquhar to •him
self, -"is sleep the compensation?"
Poor swine; how persistently his
mind turned now to that new word
of his.. .
Meantime young Northrup stood by
.wondering why he had . been kept -be-
hind. He had •to•••be at his office at
nine o'clock in .the morning, where
immediate coircentration Was vital to
his job. He was in an Office which
dealt with stocks and shares, with
their rapid changes and movements,
up and down, resembling those of a
celluloid ball on a- strong spiral of
water. It.seemed to him, as to others,
that consultations• and discussions -
were useless -=a waste of time. Know-
ing Joan and other 'girls of her age.
and class -democracy has its classes
like any monarchy -he, too; knew
perfectly well that there was nothing
to be done. Nothing. Nothing. The
modern girl, especially the modern
post-war girl, was a super -woman. She
was a female Mussolini,: a dictator.
What she said went. 'What she did
might arouse bewilderment and •per-
plexity, but she went on doing it. She
had become the ringleader . of the
younger generation. Boys trailed be-
hind and fell in with her quick deci-
sions and desires, and, while kicking
against the pricks, salaamed.. She was
the new exponent in experimental-
ism, doing everything once, and, if
she liked it, doing it again. Ever
since- he' had been sixteen years of
age he had had to knuckle down to
the tyranny of his sister and her
friends. He had been a trailer, noth-
ing more. A lanky young male thing
who had been used to dance with,
drive with, play with, pet with, and
to be chucked aside. Already harden-
ed at twenty-four, and supremely bor-
ed with girls, he 'had imagined that
in Jean there 'was something differ;
ent, that under her irresistible gaiety,
energy and determination to have a'
good time there was a note of ideal-
ism. And,because of her. devotion
to her mother, the latent capacity to
pay filial deference, strange and queer
as it seemed -and all against the
standardization which affected school
as , well as shops, customs as well as
thought, •
"In spite of ail this," he said aloud,
"I believe in Jean. I tell you that I
believe in her. She says that she
must work this thing out and she
will, She doesn't know what it is, I
don't know what it is, and you don't
know what it is. None of us will ever
find out what it is until it's done. And
then she'll write ,or cable. or come
hack, I don't know what the 'word
is, but I believe it's faith."
It was Gamlingay's word which,
earlier in the day, • had so astonished
Farquhar. -
The effect of this •boy's statement
was electrical. It made Helen drop
her flippancy, fling her arms round his
neck and give him kiss after kiss. It
made Farquhar rejoice unexpectedly
in •the fact that his wife was in his
own mood in spite of her glittering
pretence.
And when the boy was free, though
a little shaken, he put lishand on
his shoulder.
