She had broken with the pant completely, and everything was different here --everything. It was with new associations and with work to do. Dick had gone out of her life; he had made no attempt to find her, and he did not know wheer she wee. There was not a single link with past left in all this new life except- ing Dicky, of course. The door of the room opened and be came in, grubby from the garden, his brown eyes, so like Dick's, alive and shining, "Look, mummy, look!" he cried "A shell! You can hear the ssa!" Mary dropped on one knee and kissed his grubby dace passionate. ly. "Mummy's boy." she said, 'F course," be retorted, and hugged her in return.

She •smiled, still holding him to her, "Yon like the sea, Dicky?" "I love it, mummy," he said, and Mary kissed him again.

And, r coo, there was, the untorgetable memory that it was his menthe of Liane du Marve that had brought ' about the end of things with Mary, When he remembered that he hated 1' Llano, She was pretty enough, with her fluny golden hair, her dark, passion. ' laden eyes, and her delicate seosu- i ous form. She had seemed n very nymph of romance, once, and ex- quisitely fascinating: She was in he lounge room of his fiat, lying back in idle, tempting grace on the couch, the top of her silk -clad knee intended to be be- witching, while Dick was occupying his favvurlte position, his back lean- rng against the mantelpiece, and he ityas' regarding her with eyes which were hard and bright, She was Just the same, just as in- toxicating—he supposed the word should be --abut heaven alone knew how it was he had once regarded her as fascinating. There were times when she moved him to irri- tation that was uncontrollable. Mary had never affected hien like that! Dick had come to the conclusion that there was weakness in his character, but he had never been able to decide whether it was weak• mess or strength when, nearly ten months ago, he had sat down to write a letter to Mary telling her what a cad he felt himself or whether it was weakness or strength which bad made him tear the letter up in the recollection that she could not really care! :clary was merely a housewife after all! 1 That was on the morning he had left her, coming straight to this flat, and hls empty heritage of freedom. He, too, had worked since then, climbing higher in the esteem of his firm. Id was the only thing to Bo— the only (panacea. Incidentally, his, improved circum- stances made him an even more de- sirable "ca"tch" for Liane du Marve, Being a dress designer, her life was not really a satisfying prospect for her, and she had fascinated Dick Terrill—once! It was through her he had left his placid, stay-at-home Rife, and that did give her a proprietory right in him; Liane was sure of it, and if she could not bring off "grounds for divorce she was not so clever as she thought she was.

Dick's eyes burned. '1'11 stand, thanks,' he said, "1 suppose it was goodofyou, Lidue, to come here but I wish you hadn't!" Liane thought she was being very clever by masking her exaspera- tion at that. She took refuge in mookery, suplpose, dear old boy," she said, "you would much rather see a little drudge with a working apron on, her sleeves rolled up for house- work, and her hair done iu an atrocious fashion?" She paused to flick away the drapery covering !hat other arm. She wasn't looking at his eyes or she would hays seen them blaze, She was gibing at Mary w,ho had been the sweetness of all the earth to him—until he had been a com- plete fool! "And, in any case," she purred -- and she was getting her revenge this dime—"in all probability your wife bas, consoled herself with an. other man. Why don't you make the hest of things, Dick? You've ole!" "Why the devil can't you—get out " he said thickly. Tile words burst from him, and had an electri- cal effeot on Liane. He had been irritable before but never quite so furious as this. nor so Insulting. Liane rose to her feet', her dark eyes suddenly vicious, She did not bother to mask any exaspera- Lion this time. "You are a fool, Dick Terrill!" she panted. "You :have a wife and when you don't want her you gut rid of her you want her back!

"Leave me!" he said brutally, and Liane went in a furious temper which she regretted as soon as she reached the night air. If she had been really clever she would have played her cards differ- ently, and now she had lost her ellance. In the room where she had left him, Dick's face was haggard, Mary consoling herself with another man! That wasn't Mary, anyway. There lvasn't any other man, and there couldn't be!

"Any special reason?" she asked softly. "Has a man to produce a special reason for wanting to see his wife and child?" he retorted "In certain cases, yes; when, for example, a• plan has given his write some excellent reasons for her not wanting to see frim:" The light in the room showed his face haggard and tense, "I am not counting on Mary wanting to see me, the point is I am going to see her and the boy, He is any child, Lydia, as well as hers."

The arrange- ments are simple—a white sheet stretched over a doorway, or divi- sion between two rooms, with a strong light bah:nd it and the cam- era set up in front. By arranging his subjects in front of this brightly lllaminated sheet, the clever photographer can con- struct any number of inlagivativo or story -telling pictures, Costume snaps are particularly interesting in silhour.,tte, and there are possIbili. ties for many humorous pictures of the "it -can't -be" variety, For instance, a juggler can be pic- tured keeping a dozen or two balls or bottles in the air at one tinge, or a camper can he pictured with two skillets, flipping a dozen flapjacks at one shot. In both these pictures, the objects to appearin the air would be cut from black paper or cardboard and pinned to the sheet at proper points, The sheet trust be stretched evenly, as wrinkles will show in the pictures. Lighting behind the sheet should also be as even as possible. Five feet is a suitable distance from lamps to sheet, photographic flash bulb, whtoh gives was used in making this silhouette, Tliree'sixty-watt Inside -frosted elec- tric bulbs will provide enough light to give good results with Iive-second time exposures, using a box camera with its lens at widest opening, or other cameras at lens stop f.11. To stop movement when pits or small children are appearing In silhouette, use a flash bulb behind the sheet, Or, with two or three large size dont bulbs snapshots can be token. When using the Halt hulk, some- 0110 omeOne can flash it at the correct mo- ment at an "okay" signal from the person operating the ranerra. There should be sul!ict,.ut light, from vet shaded regular household bulbs, be- hind the sheet for the "cameraman" to sec the silhouetted images and to know when to give his "okay" signal, When the silhouette is snapped, of course, all lights must be turned off in the roots which contains tate camera and subject, rimose this is dolls, detail in the subject will show, spoiling the silhouette et'foei. Tho photographer should also he watch- fnl tie stray light from windows, anti mirrors which might catch light from the illuminated sheet and throw it toward the shadow aide of the subject, 175 john. van Guilder, A BUNOH OF 'EM ""P111 50y p1a11 even' kls"a you be. fore 1 did?"
