Farquhar ar har a d le w
q n �le.. n allied to
Max's • house.
It was; one of those•'eoinewhat are
and, . therefore,. ail the .More. delicious
mornings, when, Paris-. wore. its spring
clothes and the. air.Was light, cheer-
ful and extraordinarily' 'Meer, and as
though Nature had made the rounds
with a box of water colors. The sun
was warm, and the wide , patches of
blue In the sky were broken here
and there by white festoons "of cloud.
They might . have •been placed by an
artist, a =aster of 'composition. There
is no reason to suppose they weren't.
Farquhar mai more.,:,than depress-
ed. It seemed ..to him that there was
nothing that he or his wife could say
or do in order to persuade..Jean to
look at her engagement with even a
momentary detachment; or' give the
slightest consideration to the" fact
that, ah an American, and • as their
daughter, she had perpetrated a social
solecism of the most disastrous' kind.
He said: "You see, her attitude is
wholly selfish -which I suppose is na-
tural under the circumstances. It
doesn't occur to her that \yeti and 1
have come over entirely on her be-
half and 1!roken up our plans. She
thinks if she thinks about it at all,
and I doubt • it, that we're over Here
in the usual way of amusement; and
if we were to explain 'our real reason
it wouldn't make an atom of differ-
ence. She called your • panicky friend
a 'silly woman.' Her `name for us
would probably be `funny old' things: "
"Yes," said Helen. "`All that's true,.
Isn't it ' amazing? Or • is it? 1 don't
know. What can one expect? To be
perfectly honest, you and I have been
equally one -eyed all our lives, except
when we conformed to the wishes of
our parents and made a deplorable
mistake. Jean is carrying on in pre-
cisely the same old way. This is re-
tallation, the ,result, of example. We.
are being paid out in 'our own coin.
That's what it conies to. And all our
discussions and efforts lead nowhere
and achiever •nothing. And the worst
of it' is -I mean the wpret from der
point of view -that my. sympathy is
with, her. 1 don't feel ' sufficiently in-
human -now that.. I've seen her with
Max -that most attractive boy -to at-
tempt to smash it up."
"Inhuman is the word," said Far-
quhar, "because, say what we will;
the truth 'of truths is love. It's what
every man and woman hunts for. It's
the only thing in life. I don't mind
telling you that if Jean ,were one of
those absolute curiosities of the pres-
ent time - a perfectly amenable
daughter -I should . hesitate to stamp
on this affair and draw her out of it.
It would be 'like putting a knife
through her heart. A. ghastly thing
to do."
"In the meantime," said Helen, "the
news of the engagement is not only
all over Paris, but London knows . it
too. We've -got to face the fact that
perhaps at this very moment it' has
been cabled to the American papers.
Oh, my God, those headlines,"
' "Um," said Farquhar. • "The 'very
things that you and i have been so
careful to avoid. Do you "believe in
God?"
HeIen Looked up sharply. ""I don't
know," she Said, after a moment's
pause. "Why? What if I do?".
Farquhar,. shrugged his -shoulders.
"I blurted it out. It was .a foolish ques-
tion. Even if you did, and by so do-
ing could get some help through
prayer, what would be the use? I love
this girl. I find that she means very,
much more to me than caste and so-
cial position and all the rest of it.
'Therefore,' if we believe- in God, we
should be doing the right thing if,
'instead of working for her unhappi-
ness, we. begged that this thing might
go through without a hitch"
To which Helen said: "`Yes, 'Jean
wins. It's her day. We're done:'• Yon
and I are, going to be made the laugh-
ing -stocks of New York. It will take
us a Iong time before we shall be
able to live down scorn; ridicule and
the outburst in the papers. I don't,
care. 1 couldn't sleep last night, and
in those unaccustomed hours .of 'wake-
fulness I discovered' that I love Jean
far more than I love myself, How
funny. What a shock, Yes, I, too, am
growing old;' •
And having made this att►azing' con-
fession, she ran her hand through his
arm.- They wei;e ' comrades now.' For
the rest of the way 'they walked in
silence; in a closer sense of relation
ship than theeehad ever known.
A quite conventional 'servant usher-
ed them into the house: A fine house,
with all the dignity of its neighbors.
A house in .which its ancient owners
had lived in the inimitable .simplicity
which is so essentially •French -that
pompous simplicity, so confident, so
unselfconscious. •
The wide staircase was uncarpeted,
but its walls were hung with tapes-
try. A sedan chair in exquisite repair
was standing in the foyer, They were
shown into the music -room ,to - which
Jean had referred with such pride:
Whatever might -be the chaos of the
rest of the house, here, at any r'at' ,
was order, charm and artistic ar-
rangement. It was the room not only
of an artist but a man of fastidious
taste. One enormous rug, old and mei,
low, lay upon the floor. It was a mus-.
eum piece, a,s Farqubiar noticed Im-
mediately. It
