CHAPTER
Enter. Captain Harold Lovelace
At the end Of Angina, after having
eoent a moderately 'quiet summer in
• the, country, Lady Lavinia WO again
seized with a longing for tone( and,ite
attractions. _She 79,411; net listen In
Itichard'S Warnings of • the atrocious
condition of the roads„declaring that
she cared not :one jot, and go in'Lon-
don. she must. After that one pro-
test he desisted, and promised to
take her there the following, week;
secretly counting himself lucky to
have _kept her so long at Wyncliam in
comparative. cheerfulness of spirits.
Lavinia was 'overjoyed, kiseed him,
again and again, scolded herself for
being such a wicked tease, and set
about making her preparations for the
journey.'
The roads • proved even worse than
Richard had 'Prophesied and twice the
coach nearly upset, and times without
numlier stuck fest in .the mire, caus-
ing the inmates munh Inconvenience.
Ca,rstateeee role by the side of the
heavy 'vehicle, in which were his wife,
her maid, her tiny dog, and countless
bandboxes and small parcels., In spite
of the Worry the constant stoppages
entailed, he qtrite enjoyed the jour-
ney, for Lavinia was in excellent spir-
its and made light of 'theirs mishaps,
receiving each.fresh One with roguish
laughter and some witty remark.
Even, when the chimney of her bed-
chantber, at one of the inns at which
they halted, smoked most vilely, she
did net, as Richard quite expected
she would, fly into e: rage and refuse
to ,spend 'another moment ht the
house,. but 'after looking extremely
dolefiii, cheered up and dear
Dicky that she wOnld have his mien
while he should have hers. Then in
the morning she Would find him all
dried up and smoked! In high good
humour she went doWn to dinner with
him, voted the partridges excellent,
the pasties quite French, and the
wine marvellouslytolerable for such
an outeif-the-way place, and kept him
laughing at her antics until bed -time.
The journey was, of necessity, yeey
slow, not only on account of the bad
rqads, but because whenever my lady
caught sight of wild roses growing on
the hedges, she must stop to phick
some. Then she and 'Richard Would
stroll along•tor.seme way, he leading
his horse, the coach following at a
walking ^pace. 'AU of which was nerY
idyllic, and had the effect of sendiog
Riehard to the seventh heaven lof
con ten t. • " ' -e-
Whea at length they arrived at
Wyncham liouse, Mayfair, they found
that the servants had arrived a week
before, and had made good use of
their time. ,Never, declared Lavinia,
had the house looked so inviting -so
spicit and span.
One of her black pages proffered a
small monkey with much hawing and
grinning, and the murmur of: "Mas-
sa's pregent."
Lady Lavinia flew to embrace her
Dicky. Ho* did he guess that she
had for so long yearned for •a' mon-
key? • Surely she had but ,once or
twiee mentioned it?. Oh, he was -the
very best of husbands! She danced
off to her apartments in a atate of
ecstasy.
The beau monde was returning to
town, and when, a few days later,
Carstares conducted his wife to Rane-
lagh, ;they found the gardens fairly
Crowded and Very gay., Lamps, hung
from tree branches, %although It was
still quite light; the fiddlers strayed
away almost without a pause; fire-
works' shot Ina from one • end; the
summer -houses had all been freshly
painted, ad the Pavilion was a blaze
of light.
Consciousness of her beauty and
the smartness of her Georgia silk
gown, with its petticoat covered in
gold net, considerably added to Lav-
inia's enjoyment. Her hair she wore
no'vT• e-At•i• arb-oWitely -curfett-n

lace half eonce,aling It, and a grey
capuchha over all. Her tippet *Ds

to fasten it she wore a brooch com-
posed Of clustered, rubies. Rubies af-
so lanng in her. earrings, which were
of such length that the other ladiee

The Colonel, who, far from attend-
ing to her monologue, had been send-
ing amorous glances across to a palp-
ably embarrassed girl, who , hung on
her papa's arni while that gentleman
stopped to speak to a stout ,dowager,
brought his gaze reluctantly back to
his sister.
"What's that you say, Lavvy?"
"How provoking of yOu not to listen

old,"
"Where I' met him? Let me see -

"How delightful! Oh, I shall be so

"You must present him to Rich-

"I must, indeed," she agreed, his
sarcasin passing over her head. "Oh,
I see bim! Look! -Coming across the
grass!"
ath6 rose to meet the tall, fair 'yotuig
Guardsman who came swiftly towards
her, curtsying as opt* Lady Lavinia
could curtsy, with such stateliness
and col:diary.
"Captain Lovelace f'n, sleh 'pet,.„„.for-
werd both her hands.
Lovelace caught them in his, and
bent his head over them so that the
soft, powdered curls of his loose wig
fell all about his face.

"And I!"
:In that case," drawled the Colonel,
"you are not like to be very enter-
taining company. Pray give me

away down the path with' a peculiarly
mations, riddle on his lien.
Lavinia and Lovelace found two
chars, elightly apart, from the rest,
.
and sat down, talking eagerTy.
"Captain\ Lovelace, 1 believe you

"Never!" he answered peomptly.

the date was fixed, she "so dotes on

the ground with her diamond -buckled
shoe. "Harry, I am chilled! Take me
to the pavilion! I doubt they are
dancing -and 'Dicky will he there."
"Dicky?" he repeated.. "Dicky!

"Wicked, indelicate creature! 'Tis

"Your husband! Entitle -n-1."
She cast him s sidelong 'glance of
mingled coquetry and reproof.
• "Your mind is at rest again, I
trust?"
Of course! A husband! Pooh, a
bagatelle, no more!" '
"My husband is not a bagatelle!"
•she laughed. "I am very fond of
him." •
"This grows serious," he frowned.
"'Tis very unfashionable, eurely?"
She; met his teasing eyes and cast
down her lashes.
"Captain Lovelace, you may, take
the to the Pavilidn.":'
"Sweet tormentor, at until you
cease so to misname me."
"Harold, I am indeed chilly!" she
said plaintively, and snatched her
hand ,frona his lips. •"No, no* People
will Stare -look, there is my, odious
brother returning! I declare I will
not stay to listen to his hateful,,
•sneering remarks! ,. . . Come!" "
They wanted across the grass to-
gether, keeping up a running fire of
raillery, punctuated on his side by
extravagant compliments filled with
classical allusions, all aore or less
erroneous, and on hers by delighted
little laughs and mock scoldings. So
they came to the Pavilion, 'where the
musicians fiddled for those who wish-
ed to dance, and where most of the
company had assembled now that it
was growing chilly without. Down
one end of the hall, card -tables were
set out, where members of 'both sex-
es diced and' gambled, drinking glass-
es of burgundy or negas, the men
toasting the ladies, and very often the
ladies returning the toasts with much
archness and low curtsying.
Lavinia oast off her capuchin and
plumed her feathers, giving a sur-
reptitious shake to her Mehed skirts
and smoothing her ruffles. She rustled
forward with great stateliness, fan
unfurled, head held high, her gloved
fingers resting lightly on Lovelace's
'velvet -clad arm. • Richard, hearing the
little stir cauked hy her entry, glanc-
ed up,' and perceived her. He did not
recognize her companion, but the
sparkle in "her eyes and the happy
curve to, lier full lips, were quite en-
ough to tell him that it was someone
whom she was very 'contented to have
Wet.- He had ample opportunity for
Studying Lovelace as the good-loOking
pair drew near, and he could not but
admire the delicate, handsome face
with the grey eyes that held a laugh
In • them, the pleasure -loving, well -
curved mouth, and the chin that spoke
of determination. Here was not one
of Lavinia's lisping, painted puppy -
dogs, for in spite of the. effeminate
curls„ it was easy to see that this
rnan.kad character and a will of his
own, and, ilieve all, a greal-eharff of
manner. He saw Lavinia blush and
rap the Captain's knuckles in answer
to some remark, and his heart sank.
He rose and came to meet them,
Lady Lavinia smiled sweetly upon
him,. and patted his arm with a pds-
sessive little air.
"Diblry, dear, I have found an old
friend -a very old friend! Is it not
agreeable? Captain Lovelace - Mr.
Carstares."
The two men bowed, Richard 'with
.reluotancy, the Captain With easy
bonhOMie.

A portrait attachment on the camera, or cropping
. yield close-ups like this.
CLOSE-UP portraits of people
never cease to be fascinating.
Because of this fact our picture
kmagazines are full of .pictures show-
ing famous people and ordinary folk
with such directness and dlarity as
only the camera can achieve. It is
probable that this extreme close-
ness, in which the hairs of the head
and the wrinkles of -the factecan be
' counted, gives us a heightened feel-
ing of intimacy We do not find ft
necessary to squint and strain 'te
see what a face really looks like;
close-up photography shows it as it
is, as Impersonally as it would re -
coed the furrows of a newly plowed
field.

golden curls in today's picture, 'and
the puckered' lips as she blows the
