"Shall I bring tea, Mies Ruth?"
George was standing in the.doorway,
having appeared suddenly from . no-
where.
"Yes, thank you, George-"
"Perhaps if we go on just as if we
weren't -Waiting for. Gloria, she'll

. "I'd, forgotten that we were wait-

know,`1 think that nigger is jealous
of me -you know, as dogs ,are some-
times jealous of their mistress'
friends -and he's only being civil now
beeause Tin talking to you instead of
Gloria. Some day ,he's going to put
something in my high ball."
"What a terrible thing to say," said
Ruth. "I'm sure George is perfectly'
harmless. It'e only that he doesn't
talk like other niggers."
"Don't call him a nigger!" exclaim-
ed Terry, pretending to be shocked.
"Hasn't Gloria told you that he is a
Hindoo--hair-caste I imagine, and he
came from some weird place, and I
'heartily wish he'd return to it."
A Hindoo-that explained George's
appearance, but it made him more
puzzling as "a' servant than before. He
was not like the imaginations of Hin-
doos that her reading had built up,
but perhaps•as Terry said he was "a
half-caste. Terry's words, for the
moment, surprised her out of 'speech.
"Here's Gloria now," he said. "We
must stop talking treason. She thinks
she has the best servants in the
world."
'Gloria came in, filling the room with
cold''outer air mingled, with the odour'
of the violets pinned on her sables.
"Just look who's here," she said,

"I .'know what you mean, but lion
see a man like Terry Riordaln•doesn't
have to keep bis trousers pressed.
No other man is worth listening to
while Terry is in the room."
Ruth' decided that sihe ,would pay
particular attention to Terry Riordan
the next time she met !him.
Her opportunity' came'the next day.
She had gone out to Iunch that day
and had'been a little late at life, class
ti consequence, and had to stand up
at an easel in the back instead of sit-
ting among the more fortunate ones
in the front rows, where early arrival
had usually placed her-' The model
was a man-"Krakowdld, the wrest-,
ler," one of the girls had whispered
to her. "He's got .a wonderful body;
we're lucky to get him-" •
Ruth could not control a ,littlegaap
of admiration when"he stepped on the
model throne. He looked., like a sta-
tue with his' shining smooth -muscled'
'body, and he stood almost as still. It'
was several minutes before Ruth
could get the proper, impersonal atti-
tude toward him. -,Most of the mod-
els had .qulte•-unintresting, faces, but
Kradowski had a face almost as hand-
some as . his body, and there was a
half -smile ,on his lips as if he were
secretly amused at the. students. For
a second Ruth saw .them through his
eyes -then, earnest -eyed girls, dress-
ed in "arty" ,garments, squinting at
him over drawing 'boards as if the
fate of nations depended on their
work, •well-dressed dabblers and shaab-
,by• strugglers after beauty. -She not=
ed again •Pthe two old women, the fat
one with the dyed hair, and the rib-
bons and art jewelry -and, the thin
one whose hair was quite frankly
grey. The fat one ' had attracted
Ruth's attention the very first day be-
cause in the rest period she ran
around insisting that every one near
her should look at her work and of-
fer criticism, and when the instructor
came through she monopolized as
much of his time as possible to his
obvious annoyance. •
Why didn't they think of study art
twenty, years. ago? Ruth wondered. It
seemed to her that the model was
thinking the same thing. Then she
forgot his face and begah to block
in her sketch. -
The girl next to her had a scholar-
srip, her name was' Dorothy Winslow,
a rather pretty, wide-mbuthed girl
with a shock of corn -coloured bobbed
hair and very merry ,blue eyes. Out
of the corner of her eye Ruth watch-
ed her work. She had large, beauti-
ful hands and the ends 'of her slim
fingers• were always•- smudged with
charcoal or blotted up with paint. She
wore a painting -smock of purple and
green batik. Ruth was tremendously
impressed, but tried not to be. She
was torn between a desire to dress in
the same,•manner and a determination
to consider herself superior to such
affectations and remain smug in the
consciousness of her conventional
dress. Still she did wonder how she
};: ould look with, her hair bobbed.
How fast Dorothy Winslow worked.
Iler pencil seemed so sure. Never
mi d, she mustrnot be (jealous:
"Facility? Facility is dangerous -
big things aren't done in a few min-
utes -Rome wasn't built, in a day,"
she said to herself in the bat man-
ner och•er instructor in Indianopolis.
One thing that puzzled her was the
way the instructors left the- students
alone. They were there to teach, why
didn't they do it? Instead, they Pass--
ed
ass-ed around about twice a week and
looked at the drawings and said some-
thing like '"You're getting on all right
-just keep it up," or now and then
really gave a criticism, but more of-
ten just looked. and passed on to the
next without a' word,' in the most
tantalizing manner possible. The re-
ticence of the instructors was amply
balanced, by the loquacity of the ,stu-
dents. limey looked at each other -'s
work and criticized' 'or praised In the
frankest manner possible, and seem-
ingly without a hint of jealousy or
self-consclousnese. It was :tithe to
rest. The model left the throne and
jmmediately the students , alt left
their .,draw1.ng•baarda.,'to talk.

"I ' wonder how she happened to
take up art," said Ruth, nodding to-
ward the 'broad back of the fat lady
with •the'dyed• hair. •
• "Oh, she's -she's just one of the
'perpetual students they 'say she's
been coming here for ten years -
didn't they have any perpetual stu-
dents *here you came from? • But
perhaps this is your first year?"
"No, I studied a year in the Indian-
apolis Art School and we didn't have
any • perpetual art students. Is the
one with .grey' hair a perpetual stu-
dent, too?"
"Yes; we had one, a man too, in
San Francisco where I came from."
"Why do they do it? Isn't it ra-
ther •pitiful:, • or are they rich women
with a Ssad?"
"No, indeed, they're not rich. I
never heard of a perpetual student
who was rich. Why, Camille De
Muth, the fat .one, sometimes has to
pose in the portraitclass to earn
money to pay for her life."
"How does she live?" asked Ruth.
"Dear Lord, as ''well ask me why is
an art student as how does one. live
-how do any of us. live, except of
course the lucky ones with an allow-
ance .from' home?"
All the time she was talking, Doro-
thy Winslow was moving her hands,
defying all the laws of ,physiology by
'bending her long fingers back over
the tops of them, and by throwing
one white thumb out of joint.
"But you haven't told me why they
do it -why they keep on studying
year after' year. Don't they try to
make any use of what they've learn-
ed?"
"Not that I ever heard of -they're
just -just art artists. They spend
their lives in class and at exhibitions.,,
but I've never •tried to understand
them -too busy trying to understand
myself." e
"What do they do when they're not
here?" asked Ruth.
"They spend their leisure id the
cool marble twilight of the Metropolis
tan, making bad copies of old mas-
ters."
The model had reappeared and they
went 'back to their boards, but after
class Ruth found that Dorotliy Wins-
low was walking by her side toward
Fifth, Avenue.

Before they parted at Twentieth
Street, Ruth, shad pronysed to go to
an exhibition with' Dorothy on the fol-
lowing Satt;rday..- ,
Gloria had given' her a latch key
and she went into the house on
Gramercy Square without ringing the
bell, She expected -to hear her aunt's
• voice, but instead a mares voice call-
, ed out: •
.
you, .Gloria?"
She answered tiyL,;walking into the
drawing -room, disappointed at not
finding Gloria there.
"Where is Gloria?"
They both Said it at once,
they both laughed. Terry
was very appealing when he laughed.
He hadrisen'"at her entrance, andJ
was standing loose-limbed yet some-
how graceful in his fot niess tweeds.
"I've been waiting at least An hour
for her, though it was obvious that
George didn't want me here. He quite'
overpowered me with big words and
proper English to explain why he
thought my waiting quite uncalled
for."
"He's like that, but Gloria is sure
to come if you wait long enough,"
said Ruth, sinking wearily into a
chair and droppink her sketches be-
side her on the floor.
"Even if she doesn't I couldn't find
a more 'comfortable• place than this
to loaf. I'm too nervous to be any
place else in comfort. The show' op-
ens tonight., It was all right at the
tryout in Stamford, ,but that doesn't
Mean much. 1 want a cigarette, and
George frightened me so that I didn't
dare .ask him where they are."
'Frightened? You, `Ma. Riordan?"
"There, you looked -, like Gloria
then. You are relatives, Of, course,
same name` and everylthing, but 1
never' noticed any _resemblance be-
fore. Suppose you must be distant
relatives."
"Gloria• says we must be very dis-
ant relatives in order to be close
friends," said Ruth, dodging the invi-
tation to tell We extent of •her rela-
tionship to Gloria.
•"As for the cigarettes, there should
be some in the blue Ming jar over
there, or, if you prefer, you cant roll
your own. There's 'tobacco, in the,
box -Gloria's own tobacco."
"Thanks; I suppose I could_ have
found it myself, but 4- was actually
afraid to look around -George gave
the such a wicked look -he d4d in-
deed," said Terry. "What a wonder-
ful woman. Gloria Mayfield is,"., he
continued as he lit a cigarette.
"I know," said Ruth. "No wonder
she has so many friends."
' "Every one loves Gloria," continued
Terry.
"You love her?'• asked Ruth. She
felt that this- man was confiding in
her. She wondered if he had propos-
ed to Gloria, and if his suit was hope -
Jess. She felt sorry for him, but ev-
en while she . sympathized she could
i.ot keep the three husbands out of
her mind. Three husbands were ra-
ther overwhelming, but four! Some-
how, it didn't seem quite right, even
for so amazing a woman as, Gloria.
"I should say I do love Gloria. Why,
she lets me read everything I've writ-
ten and always applauds. That's one
of the things I came for today. I've
written that number for Dolly Der=
went. Want to hear it?"
"Yes, please; I'd. love to hear it."
"Got to' tell some one," said Terry,
and without waiting for further en-
couragement,•he began singing in his
queer, plaintive voice, that made his
words sound evenmore nonsensical
than they were, a song the refrain of
which was:
downtaown?" asked
tram with . a yellow tassel
fluffy hair.
.n` -'How de you go?"
"On the bus," said Ruth.
"So- do I, when I can' afford it;
when i can't I walk, but I guess I
can spend , the dime today. I got
some fashion work to do last week."
"Fashions?" Ruth could not keep
the scorn out of her voice.
"Oh, I know bow you fell about
that, but one „can't become Whistler
or Sargent all in a day, and paint and
Michelet paper and canvas cost
money."
"You must be •awfully clever to be
-able 'to earn money with your work
already," admitted Ruth, a bit asham-
ed of herself.
`I have talent," admitted Dorothy,
"but then so many people have tal-
ent. I've got an idea that work
counts a whole lot more than talent,
but of .course that's an awfully prat-,
tical, inartistic idea -only I email
help it. I had to come to New X
and I couldn't come without a schol-
arship, so I worked, and got it. What
do you think about it?"

de nce.
That night` Ruth 'got a new iulpres*
Sion of Terry Riordan. _ e did, not,
stay' to dinner, t'houg'h Gloria asked
him; but ht Met them at the theatre
.Every one seemed, to know 'hint and
treated him as quite an "important
Meson. It was her first experience
of a first night, and she got the i
pression that_these people were wait
ing through the acts for the interred:a,
cions instead of waiting through the
intermissions for the acts. Terry,
wasn't in their box, he had a seat ink
theatre with Philip
tten themusic, but
out during the eve
nd to hear words :of
praise.
"How do you think it's going to
go?"' Gloria asked him when he • re-
turned• totheir box after the first in-
termission.
"Badly; I'm afraid; 1 met several of
the newspaper men out there, and
they seemed to •like. If the critics
like it, it's almost, sure to 'close in
three weeks," said Terry..
"I won't, believe it. It is sure to.
have •a long run," said Gloria.
"God knows I did my 'beat to lower
the moral tone of the thing and make
it successful'," said Terry. "If it will
only run long enough to give me some
royalties, just long enough. to keep
me going until my comedy is finish-
ed, I won't care."
They chatted on, commenting on
the people on the 'stage . until Ruth
lost all sease of illusion. They took
away from her the fairyland sense
that had formerly ,made the theatre
a joy,' and as yet she had not acquir-
ed the knowledge of stagecraft that
gives the stage a stronger fascination
for theatrical folki.than for the peo-
pie who have never seen it in any
way except from "out front."
