"Still_ it may make a difference

"I went to the theatre with Terry,

per afterward and I came in. fifteen
minutes ago. I'm not a bit tired."
"1 am, horribly, of everything."
"It's Pnly Prince Aglipogue w'bo's

tired of him. If he'd only sing be-
hind a. curtain so that one didn't have
to look at him, he would be quite
lovely," said Ruth. She • spoke thus
with the intention of talking Gloria
tell what she, really thought of the
Prince. Gloria sank back on her chair
by the piano and rested her chin on
her folded hands, her elbowe on her
knees. Unlike most large women
she seemed able to assume any atti-
tude she chose without appearing un-
graceful.
"You don't like Aggie, do you?"
She was looking at Ruth now With
something of her normal expreseon
in he eyes.
"I don't exactly dislike him," said
Ruth. "He's all right as a singer or
a pianist or a painter, but as a man
he is singular4y uninteresting, isn't
he?"
"He is horribly stupid -1-" Sud-
den,L.y her expression changed and she
was on her feet again, walking rest-
lessly up and down the room: "I'm
going to marry him; he'fs going to
South America on a 'concert tour and
I'll go with him -I'm so tired of ev-
erything; 1 want to get away."
Involuntarily Ruth had also risen,
bewildered at the . sudden change in
Gloria's manner. Through the open
doorway she could see George stand-
ing in the dimly lighted hill beyond,
his red 'eyes gleaming, axed on Glor-
ia's moving figure. She thought she
understood, at least in part, the rea-
son for the sudden change and

ter quarters. Dorothy lived at the
top of the house in one of the two
rooms facing the, square.
"Yoe see it isn't really a studio,"
fele explained apologetically. "But it
has got north, light and the sloping
room and that bit 'of skylight makes

the change and looked about him as
if in unfamiliar surroundings.

taking the cup Dorothy offered him.

Mucb is ,.written about the "femin-
ine touch" which makes home of the
most ordinary surroundings. Ruth
thought of it as she looked at Doro-
thy's room. Perhaps, she decided,
artistic women are an exception to
this rule. Dorothy had knowledge of
beautiful things, more knowledge
than the average woman, but no one
would have guessed it from the un-
tidy shabbiness of her studio._ Only
the bright samovar and the roses,
thrown into relief by the firelight,
which with the same magic threw
dusty corners into shadows and seem-
ed to gild the ugly, broken-down
old 'jug. Don't you think the sam-
evar's pretty? Nels did get me that.
Wait a minute; I'll show you his stu-
dio. It's the net room to this and
just like it. He never locks his
door."
She stepped out, Ruth following,
and pushed open the only half closed
door of a room, the exist counter-
part in size of her own, but rather
more comfortable as to, furnishings.
"That's her picture; she must have
given it to hint last week. I haven't
'been in his studio for days and we
used to have such corking times to-
gether -I Worked here more often
than in my own room and he always
seemed to like having me-"
Fearing a return of tears Ruth
hastily retreated to Dorothy's room.
Besnies she didn't, feel quite comfort-
able about entering a man's room
during his absence and examining his
pictures:
"Let's not think about her;
just a phase and he'll recover
come back to you," she comforted.
"Yroil. make the tea and I'll spread
this little table," she continued, re-
moving a pile of sketches to the. floor.
In a short space of time there was
a real fire burping in the tiny grate,
throwing a ruddy glow on the burn-
ished brass of the samovar; in the
small room the roses shed a heayy
sweet perfume and the tw.o girls
chatted cozily over their tea cups.
'Dorothy smoked a cigarette.
"Cigarettes are a party to me," she
exclaimed. "If I could afford to
smoke 1 might not care for it at all,
but I can't, so -when I want to be
extravagant t smoke; it's just a sym-
bol."
Now that Dorothy „seemed to have
put her grief into the background
Ruth was beginning to feel restless.
On the following day the party was
to leave for the Christmas party.
They would arrive at their destine -
eon on the.twenty-third of December
and the imminence of the solution of
all Ruth's worries, for either good or
evil, made her feel that she shou4d
be at the house as much as possible.
Could she have done so she would
have followed Gloria wherever she
went. Most of all she wanted to find
out where Professor Pendragon was
stopping; and she ought to telephone
Terry again to remind him not to for-
get the revolver. In her own mind
she was not exactly sure what she
would do with the guh when she got
it..
"I think I'll have to run Menge; she
said. 'e
"Oh, and we Were having such a
good time. I Was beginning to be
quite cheered up. Wait a minute ;
that's him."
Regardless of grammar, Ruth knew
that the masculine pronoun could re-
fer to pnly one person. Down three
flights of stairs she could hear a
tuneless but valiant whistle.
CHAPTER xr
When Ruth telephoned Professor
Pendragon's hotel she found that he
had not left any address and would
not be expected back before the .nrst
on the year. Her next thought was
of Nels Zord. He might know, but
much to her surprise she did not see
Nels at the League, and sought out
Dorothy instead. She found her eas-
ily enough, but it was not until she
had asked about •Nels that she ob-
served that Dorothy's eyes were red
and her cheeks swealen-,as if from
recent weeping. It was luncheon
time and they were walking toward
their restaurant together.
"I don't know where Nels is," said
Dorothy. Her voice was elmotiT a
sob.
"Haven't you seen him today?"
"I never see him any more -haven't
you seen? • He's too busy with that
Alice Winn girl. Oh, you know her,
Ruth, the insipid ,creature with the
carefully nurtured southern accent,
who always has ome. highbrow Rus-
sian or Swedish book under her arm,
and begins reading it, every time she
thinks a man is looking."
"I think I know the one you mean,
but what about her and why is Nels
busy with her and why have you
been crying? You have been crying."
"I suppose, I have; it's most Un-
manly of me, hut I muet. do some-
thing. AU men you know are irre-
tistibly attracted to the weakest,
cheapest sort of women. They all
prefer sham to reality, and they are
all anoint at heart."
"I'm afraid 1 don't know muds
about men," admitted Ruth.
"Well, I'm telling you about theta
no*. You might as well know. And
the better a man is the more be likes

bad as any of them, and that's why

She buried her nose in the flowers
in an ecstasy of delight that neade

them.
"Now we'll ride down cin the 'bus,"
said tpth. "But you haven't told ms
just where Nels is -is Alice Winn
pretty?"
Questions of this sort are perfect-
ly intelligible to women and Dorothy
answered in her own way -as they
climbed into the Fifth Av'enue 'bus.
"Hes gone with her to the Met -
to look over some ' costumes she
`Watts to use in this mural she's sup-
posed to be doing; and oC course she
is pretty -an anaemic, horrid, little
dark-skinned vamp -and she lisps -

he
knows it he'll he painting her old
mural for her and she'll sign it, and
he'll st back and let her get the
credit for doing it. It's' been done
before, you know."
"Nels is too sensible for that, He'll
wake up before it's gone that far."
"I don't think so; she is attractive
to men."
They fell silent for ashort space,
looking out 'at the grey December
streets on which no snow bad yet

falling, making the pavements glis-

pedestrians a shabby appearance as

There was an embarrassed pause.
Ruth blushed because she had told
what in childhood she had called a
"white lie"; Dorothy because she ac-
cepted the deception that she would
not herself have instigated, and Nels
for many reasons.

Backlighting adds appeal to many informal portraits. Sidelighting is
often useful, too. And both are safe as long as direct sun rays do not
fall on the camera lens.
"IN taking pictures outdoors, have
the sun at your 'hack, and a
little to one side." • •
That is a fine rule for the person
who is mew at picture taking and
knows nothing of photography. Its
purpose, in part, is to insure'that
direct sunlight does not strike the
camera lens when a picture is taken.
When direct sun rays :do.strike the
lens, or lens mount, they are likely
to cause reflections within the lens,
and these produce "flare", spots. on
the film, and, ruin the picture.
Thus, the "sun at your back" rule,
is a safe one, but it does not neces-
sarily lead to better pictures. Often,
lighting from one side, or even from
in front of the camera, is prefer-
able with certain subjects. And such
lighting is safe -from the stand-
point of. avoiding 'flare" -provided
you make sure that direct, brilliant
light rays do not fall on the lens.
Some cameras have deeply re-
cessed. lensos. With these, the lens
Is adequately protected when light
comes from one side. With other
cameras, a lens shade is needed for
side -lighted pictures: -A fairly deep
lens shade makes it possible tts take
pictures With the sun to one side

Often, when no lens shade is avail-
able, a hat nmy be held so as to
shade the lens -but care must be
taken not to hold it so close that it
cuts off part of the scene:
In taking sunny -day pictures of
persons outdoors, almost any type
of lighting.can he obtained, simply
by turning the subject in relation to
the sun.
The attractive child picture above
