Awl so they waited, listening, Far-
quhar with a tremendous resentment
and impatience -Helen with at pecu-
liar surprise and . the indescribable
sensation of finding herself in a new
dimension, and the Duchesse,' • who
congratulated herself on being a by-
stander, a mere watcher on the fringe
of this. trouble with a rather enjoy-
able excitement. As one who hid'
read plays and' watched. them, being
concerned in many moments of arti-
ficial comedy and genuine emotion,•
she was intrigued to see. what would
happen when these perpiexed'aud be-
wildered parents 'came fade' ,to "face
for the first - time with the • leading
man in their. domestic drama.
She told herself that Jean, must
know that her father and mother
were somewhere in the house. Indeed
she had left a message with the but-
ler to inform her Of the, fact. As
minute after minute went by until
half an hour had gone,. the selfish-
ness and total indifference . of the
modern daughter was demonstrated

as though someone had sat on the
keys. And then laughter, voices, a
rush of feet and the opening of the
door.
With the most perfect ease and un-
selfconsciousr)ess this Lorbenstein en-
tered the room. He was still in the
tail -coat, the black trousers with a
white stripe, the patent` shoes and
white spats in which he had appear='

function-- of- the' a'fternitoh."Th8",gar-
denia in his buttonhole ?as' still fresh
and his pepper-and-salt bow tie still
in the most perfect • shape over .the
wings of his collar. But for his slight-
ly too long hair, black and thick and
wavy, he might quite well have been
in - the Diplomatic -Service; the son
and heir of 'a Marquis or possibly a
Spanish Duke. A-'
His manner .was'' quiet,: " composed
and courteous. There was • in it ev-
en a slight touch of patronage
though it was hardly that. It might
be 'better described as that of'a young
royal person unbending in the house
of • one of • his father's' friends. And
though his profile was distinctly He-
braic, it was;.as Helen immediately
said to _herself with fright, 'ethereal
and fine: She had seen such. a face
on the body of one of- the figures in
the frescoes of . the Pitta' Palace, in
the pictures of Bott1ce11i, on the walls
of St. Maro. Given a inn's robe this
boy might have , stood far a young
Franciscan, whose eyes burtsed with.
the latent fire, enthusiasm and spir-
ituality of one devoted to a cause, an
inspiration, a revival.
He made way for Jean with an air
of possession, a, tender solicitous air
in which • there was pride-•' He came
'forward with unstudied •;grace, • bowed
to the ,Duchesse and raised her hand
to his lips.
"I'm awfully sorry," he 'said, "1,'m
afraid -we've kept you waiting. The
sigh of a piano is always too much
'for me." • "
And. while .he spoke, Jean, not with.
her usual bound, but quietly and like
a woman, of the world, joined her
mother, kissed her, and said: "Hullo,
Mumsie. I wish you had been with
us tonight. It was just the sort of
dinner that you would have enjoyed."
And then she turned to her father
and held -.,up her face;
With a• tretuendous effort Farquhar
controlled himself. He wanted ' to
take Chia child in his -arms and hold
her tight, protect her, effect a rescue
and carry her off to a quiet place in
which, with patient argument and
tenderness, be could wean her away
from the hypnotic attraction of this
unusual man. But the crushing • re-
fits
of his -'utter lack of Influ-
ence, because he had never ..gone out
of his way to win her confidence andlove, held him• back. Then too,• he
had been instructed to act, to hide
fits feeliags behind a 'totally untrue-
of
art. He had agreed to this and
carried out his agreements.
And so he said, lightly: "A pretty
frock, old thing," and put his lips to
her hair.
In her , best .manner, though with
watchful eyes, the Duchesse de Betel
called the attention of the Lorben-
stein to her guests. She said: -"I
desire to present you to my' dear• rel-
atives,
elatives, Mr. and Mrs. Erskine Dal-
beattle Farquhar,- who are the par-
ents.of Jean."

Farquhar shook hands like a B•iga-

';pondent.
It. was ; a conventional, pleasant
moment ••inu, which there was not a
suggestion of the drama to which the
Duchesse had looked forward with
eager anticipation. It made things
far more difficult thad they had ever
been.
If this man had been an ill-bred Jew
inherently vulgar' under a smart ven-
eer,
there might •have been a hope of
good results in the continuance of
Helen's plan. Left unbrowbeaten and
undisturbed there might have been•a
chance that Jean, recovering gradu=
ally from her blind infatuation, would
have discovered in him certain .un-
gainlineases of mind and body, tricks
of speech which would have disguis-
ed .her, or, at any rate, jarred her
nerves. If, for in'sthnce, in spite of
his face and genius, he had been a
man who had worked"'hi-s way into

eventual ,sense of shock. As it was
there was no other wo'rdfor him than
that of gentleman. He was gentle
and he was a man. It was noticed
immediately -by Farquhar and his wife
that he was utterly and absolutely de-
"
void' of the inferiority complex which
the members of hisrace in America
have been forced to suffer from. They
saw at once that, on the contrary,
he was without any remote conscious-
ness of race or faith; that he regard:
ed himself as a cosmopolitan, able,
because ot education, ability and
money, to go where he liked, to do
what he' liked, and associate with
whom he liked; that he was, in a
word, confident, though strangely un -
conceited in the face of adulation. un
Helen's fright spread to Farquhar
-especially as he found himself, as
'he could see that ,she did, under the
spell of a personality so natural and
attractive. He liked -the way in which
the young -"maul held himself a.nd
wore his clothes.' He liked his voice
and the fact that his English was as
good as 'his French., He liked his
witty description of the dinner -party
in the Serte studio,- and his good-na-
tured summary of the bizarre ,atmos-
phere in which his friend lived and
did his peculiar but, admirable work,
drawing strange women with star-
like eyes, and pansy mouths, 'against
a background of fantastic moons and
constellations, while he mixed 'daring
colours with the originality of a fu-
turist who was 'possessed with a sense
of .beauty. He ' was amused by: 'the'
delightful .way in Which he caricatur=
ed the little gang' who worshipped at
the .Serte shrine, the 'intelligentsia of
Paris, the boyish girls and the girlish
boys,: poets, painters, • playwrights,
journalists, professional' dancers,
sculptors who thought it smart to
make their men and women look like
lunatics or abortions, and the • dread-
ful little clever people who eked out
a sort 'of living by the .parasitical pro-
cess of criticism, themselves being
unable to create.
All' through this, as Farquhar and
Helen saw with the,••,..Greeping
•sis of discouragement and fear, Jean
hung upon his words, laughed at his
character sketches, and watched his
every movement with a psion that -
needed only to be lit. The toy didn't

ball with the Duchesse, who fed him
as a professional feeds an excellent
player at tennis.. It was •her- inten-
tion to show him off, to let him dis-
play, so to ' speak, his. admirable
strokes, the artfulness of his placing
and his crushing returns,
It was a strange hour.
Farquhar and Helen rose to go With
a feeling that instead of having turn-
ed down their thtiimbs on Lorbenstein
they had been .graciously accepted by
him. They were not. in the least sur-
prised, that Jean bad fallen a victim.
And It was Helen, in one of her sud-

Said under her breath to Farquhar:
"If I were ten years younger I should
collect . that boy myself."
They were seen to the door by
Jean, who was follo'Wed closely by'

Medium yellow. The former, usual-
ly referred to aS a "0" filter, dark- - -
ens a blue sky more than the "K-2,"
emphasises foreground objects, and
aids in the elimination of • distant
haze ° in landscapes. The red, or "A"
filter, used only with "pan" typo
film, darkens blue skies still more,
producing heavy, dramatic cloud
effects. These three 'filters also ren-
der objects of 'their respective eol+-
ors lighter in tone.

and A have wh t are known as

SUMMER Is the outdoor season,
and the great cloud masses
standing out against a deep blue
sky offer one of the best opportuni-
ties for glorifying snapshots. Given
two pictures of identical subjects,
in which the sky appears,' it is a
safe wager that your attention will
be held by the one showing fluffy
white clouds, and not the one with
an unattractive, grayish white sky.
Photographic films are very sensi-
tive to blue and ultra -violet light,
and unless the exposure is very
near correct, a blue sky will be re-
corded in a very light tone. We can,
however, be quite certain of render-
ing
endering the sky in a natural tone, with
the clouds showing up- a brilliant
white, by slipping a color'filter over
the lens. .
Inexpensive and easy to . use, the
purpose of a filter is to hold back
rays of certaincolors, allowing
others to pass through the lens to
the film. A medium yellow, com-
monly called a "li-2" filter, is prob-
ably the most universally used, and
should be the first choice of the .
camera -hobbyist. It rectIedt a blue'
sky in approximately the relative'
stone value -al seen by the eye, 'and
