Mrs. Bagshot had not merely got
up. She had risen to r13er..feet. And
there she stood i 'in the middle
of that beautiful room, thin, immacu-
late, despotic, but the abject slave to
a sham. For all her red hair, and
red' and brown shades, her pale un-
painted skin and drooping My pose,
she was a cruel and mediaeval Free-
Lure; ready, at any moment, to fan
the flames -.of a discriminate slaughter
with genuine old style carnage, while

As soon as this brackenish •lady had
taken herself off, • •with her very Ro-
man nose, Jean rushed to the tele-
phone.
'The answer she gat from Denham
was: "Mr. Max is not in his ,room,

ing, but there wasn't anything like

Having 'wine to the conclusion that
it was extremely exhausting to drive
in New York, with its one-way streets
and constant statioisms, Helen' had
walked to the shops. The afternoon
had been dull. C>;puds• of carbon -mon-
oxide had' huffg poisonously in the
motionless air,. and the staccato nois-
es of the city, not perhaps so hysteri-
cal as those of . Paris, where every
driver is in terror of every other, and
so- adds to the chorus of'"booting, had•
worn her out. The • increasing . peril
of 'the streets, too, which: made it
necessary continually to be strung up
to a high pitch .of self-preservation,
to say nothing of the crisscross tides
of people who blurred the eyes like a
motion picture. seen too close and
run too fast, had, made her long for
the safety and quietude of the house.
As she walked wearily along Park
Avenue, between the Gulliveresque
apartment houses that afforded the
smallest amount of elbow room ' to
their Lilliputian occupants„ she won-
dered how much longer it would be
possible to live in. New York in a
normal condition of mind, She add-
ed: "Or in any other city. There's
not much to Choose between them."
She was getting closer and closer to
the mood, she began to find, for 'dis-
entanglement, for a garden such as
Ganilingay loved, for time and, peace
in which to . read, for • some private
corner of the earth to which people
only came when they were invited and
sent a chart, for the, companionship
of trees.
She found Jean standing on the
threshold of the telephone room in;
,an attitude of worry. She said quick-
ly: "Is anything the matter, dar-
Iing?"
"I don't quite know, Mumse," •said.
Jean, continuing to think.
Whenever Helen was anxious or
frightened, which had rarely :happen-
ed until Jean had waved the Iced
Flag -and very often since -'she im-
mediately assumed an air of tremen-
dous confidence. She seemed' to, say:
"Everything's been. done before and
most things can be mended." She
put 'her arn. round rean's •shoulder
and 'led her into the i toirni1rg-rooni.
x'arglthar Was standing on the rug
in front .of 'the firepldce, With, a :pipe
between his teeth: Ie had just re-
turned frond playing ,Squash and' telt
that he had ddire his duty or the day.
The one good deed.
"Oh, this is jolly," he said: "I had
expected to be alone with the tea-
tr ay. i':nr in ]tick,".

Awl. jean; Jean' after' "I35t1IcY Pathe r"
went unsteadily' tin with 'her thoughts.
There -was a.:deepeUing ling between
her; eyes: • , '
l?'argn1 ar wireless 7£tessage "Ts
a gthlrig the matter?" ''was answered
n
-b' Helen with: "Obviously, .'put ' 1
don'ti;nowwhat it ie."
Hut :they :were almost imhedfate-
Weaved :from _the effort, of diplomacy
by' Jean; who gave out *tat was on
her -mind in her .Usual candid way.
Having repeated Denham's message
she said: "What do you make of it?"
~ as eextremely strange
perfectly certain to Helen.
She wnthat Max
was not the sort of man who would go
about willingly in evening clothes in
the , day time: But with the desire to
give it -the. best complexion she said:
?Oh, 'he's probably wool-gathering.
Geniuses do, you know." • • -
"And you, Father?"
• "Um," .said... Farquhar. "it's hve
o'clock, I see . . . It seems to me
that if he had been called to meet
friends at one of those hastly late
parties -which I suppose was the case
-and he had been given a bed, he
might easily have got you on the tele-
phone by now. He knows that you
make a point of being at :his, house by
four. But; of course, there's the pos-
sibility that he •may have over -slept.
I can't understand how the• devil he
does it, but the day's his time for
sleep. I vote we don't begin to feel.
uneasy for an hour or two. Here's
tea."
Here it was, duly escorted by two
soft footmen. A European tea, com-
plet. Most enticing.
One of the men spoke while the
other placed. the tray. "A Mr. Den-
ham has just called, madam ."
Jean was en her feet.
"Denham!"
She turned wide-eyed to her mother.
"Show him in," said Helen.
"Very good, madam."
"That's odd," said Farquhar.
Jean had lost her color. She stood
with her hands • gripped ,•together.
Helen marked time while the other,
man remained. She said: "It was
quite appalling •out. The crowds, the
traffic, the chunks of dirt in one's
eyes! .,l.,walked to avoid the irrita-
tion of peing held up in spasms. I'll
never do it again."
"The only time for walking is at
eight o'clock in the morning," said
Farquhar, returning her ball, "before
the subways have belched."
"I wouldn't leave bed •at that un-
holy timeunless an earthquake toss-
ed me out. -'I would rather go for ten
minutes' drive and sit ill the car for
two hours."
One footman retired as the 'other
returned.
"Mr. Denham," he said.
Wearing one of Mr. Lorbenstein's
jackets that- was a little too small,
with his livery trousers and regula-
tion collar, Denham resembled one of
the numerous persons: who were en-
countered by Farquhar in Park Av-
enue before breakfast, taking the dog
for a run. From force 'of habit he
drew up as the door was closed and
stood stiffly at attention. '
"What is it, Benham?" asked Jean.
"Beg pardon, miss, but seeing as
'ow Mr. Max 'as not come back, nor
yet got on the 'phone, I took the lib-
erty of welkin' round for orders. . I
thought you'dwish to prime me with
something to tell Mr. Lorbenstein.
He'll be' sure to throw a -fit."
"Very thoughtful," said Farquhar:,
"Thanks."
"What do you think has happen-
ed?" asked Jean.
"Couldn't say, I'm sure, miss, But,
knowing as 'ow things is, I'm just a
bit disturbed."
"Knowing what?'t asked Helen.
"What do you mean by 'how things
are'?"
Denham cleared his throat. He felt
that he was back in his . Sergeant's
uniform, standing in the o'r'derly
room before the Colonel Command-
ing, the Adjutant and the Quartermas-
ter.
"The sentiment for and against,
madam, and the like of that. It's
not only upstairs but down, in every
house and in all the Clubs, I'm told
by friends of mine. Pe'rs'onally I'm
in the middle of the road as, the say-
ing
ay-
in g is . ."
"Yes," said Farquhar, in the Col-
onel manner,, "but tell us what you
know."
"Weil, sir, what I know is this.
When Mr. Max come in last night
from dining here he was very, eager
to get to his piano. Almost before
I could take '3b 'at and coat hedvas
making for the starve. There was
tousle in 'is eyes. Just before I op-
ened the door for "ino, sir, a 'chauf-

"What's that?" Mr. Lorbenstein's

"No, no. • Nothing at all. We're eq-

smoked fewer cigarettes: As a rule

Jean commenced to walk about,
strangelydevoid of words. It wasn't
necessary to express anxiety. It was
stamped upon her face.
"Late this afternoon," said . Helen,
"you discovered that he had not been
to bed?"
"I did, madam -when I went to call
.'im to get ready for Miss Jean. About

a kind, thoughtful, and .„sympathetic
man and he had been touch moved
and impressed by what • he called
"love's young dream" in the sercants'
parlour during the nunnerons heated
arguments among 'hos fellow -servants.
He had alt the 'sentimentality of the
British lower class. In .addition to
this his favorite 'forms of -literature
were detective and mystery stories,
and he was an 'ardent movie,fan• He
was steeped in sensationalism: He
lowered his voice,
"My theory is that Da . Max was
seized and carried off last night and
possibly strung up by the• Ku-Kluir.-
Klan."
"Good God," cried Farquhar,
"why?"
"Anti -Jew business, sir. As I 'inted
a moment ago, there's a lot of feel-
ing about this marriage."
"That's' perfectly true,": Said Helen.
"We know tkkat only too well."
"But it's died away a great deal
since the papers have dropped the
thin," said Farquhar.
"'Don't you believe it, sir. It's more
than ever discussed and fought over.
I've seen people, use their 'fists. And
only yesterday afternoon when I •took
tea into Mrs. Otto Saab, the old gen-
tlenman's youngest daughter who 'ad
some friends at the 'ouse, there was
very angry things said about disloy-
alty to. the race. If it isn;t the Ku -

selves as did it." -
"Did what?" -
"Enticed 'im away when nobody
was about: Both sides want to stop
this marriage, sir, make 'no• 'mistake
about ' that: I'm in a_, position to
know."
The man was greatly 1# earnest.
Farquhar was all the pore annoy-

had continued to argue.. He loathed
their interference. ,Having made up

Watch ypur back-
ground. Our •iilustna
tions show what a
difference It can
make in the appeal'
and attractiyeness'of
a subject,
VDU havesprobably read the. ad-,
monitions in.this colo ,,against.
trying to get loilywood glamor into
pictures made of wives and girl
friends to send. tQ those in the Ser-
vjce. It seems now, judging from
reports, that some autatenrs have
taken this to mean that it isn't'nec-
essary to give-muchh thought to the
positioning of the subject or, the
camera before snapping the shutter.
Well, that is important.
Extraneous objects' appearing in
the background or at the sides 'of
your subject, of 'even in the fore-
ground, will detract interest from
your principal•• .subject- Correcting
this photographic error is.very sim-
ple. .All you have to •do is change
the position, or location, of your
subject. •
Our illustrations' are examples of
good and distracting ':backgrounds.
To the left is an appealing subject
-mother and,,,Fliild-which would
be welcomed, by anyone in 'the Ser -
It's an excellent story -telling
type of ,.picture but it is weakened
by an unattractive background..
By merely selecting a location a
few feet away, reversing the posi-
tion of the subjects and taking 'ad-
vantage of the sky and watei back-
ground, all attention is directed to
•
the subjects. Although the -sand on
the beach is & natural reflector for•.
illuminating, the ishadow in snap-
shots like these, a reflector was used
to keep the subject brightness range
as even as possible. •
Now a reflector may lead you to
think of Hollywood and added ex-
pense, You can dismiss that thought
from your mind because a reflector
can be a fairly large square. of ,white
cloth or -paper held or placed in a
position to reflect the light into the
faces of your subjects to eliminate
harsh shadows.
The next time yeti Start taking
pictures resolve to think and look
before you shoot. Film is scarce and
you should strive to make every
picture a good one. ,
