i-tT.aim mm in nnd stood trnnsfixcd
.lili..r... th two men. Ruth closed
the door and stood with her buck
acainst It, wnltlnB for she knew not
what. It was n thoroughly dramatic
moment.
Tnlo Elsie's ccs had come n look
ot terror. 8ho was like a bird caught
in a net. It was .Too who spoke first,
who seemed to havo n clear head and
the knowledge of what had to bo douc.
"Shall wo all sit down and talk
things over?" he suggested evenly. Ruth
looked around, hoping that In some
way she could escape, and Joe, who
seemed to sec everything, smiled at her
and placed a chair. There was nothing
for her to do but drop into it.
T-'nrl..in,,uir nnrhnns. by tnking the
lead and making the first remark, Joe
had placed C.cne Mathews in a difficult
position. After nil, -toe was u e .
band in the case; Elsie merely the
pawn, and Gene the other man. hen
brought face to face with the man
who has eery right to tho woman one
tnr. tlie lnvcr is always placed on
i, .Woneivc. Ttuth stole a look at
Gene. He was pale, but his head was
flung up; he was nn coward.
"It seems to me." said Joe. after a
minute, "that Elsie tfionld have first
chance at deciding this affair. We are
three rational people, aren't we? Wc
can accept the situation as it is."
Again silence. Elsie had twisted in
her chair until she wns not facing the
two men. She was a pitiable little fig
tire In her smart afternoon clothes and
with her terrified face that Ttuth could
just glimpse fiom where she was sit
ting. Finally Gene spoke. "T want to do
the right thing, the thing that seems
entirely fair to jou. Mr. lianning," he
began. It wns characteristic of him
not to apologize. 1'nccd with the sit
uation, he would make the best of it.
"What do you think about it, Elsie?"
.Toe asked, turninc to her.
She shivered and half turned. .Too
waited for her to speak.
"I think the time has come when
:,ou must decide what you want to do."
he went on. No one to hear him talk
would have imagined that he was tho
same man who had spoken those im
passioned words so short a time ago
in that very room to Kuth. Xo one
.nnld limn dreamed that he loved this
i nun who seemed just now so en-
ununrlliv or the love ot any
man.
(Jcne turned to Elsie suddenly. Tic
mtiiumI utterly oblivious of Ituth ; in
I'.irt all three of the chief characters in
ilie pin) seemed not to feel her prcs
ciirn at all.
"Elsie," his voice shook with feeling,
"jou know what I have asked you to'
do: you know how I feel about it."
She did not answer.
"You have spoken about a divorce?"
Joe ouericd. His voice was steady.
Gene looked him square in the eyes.
"Yes, I haven't wanted anything un
dprhnnd. I love her," he said sim
ply Iluth noticed .Toe's hands tighten on
the arm ot his chair.
"Well, Elsie," he persisted.
It was then that Elsie looked up
wildly.
"I don't want a divorce," she gasped
out. She turned to Gene, tears stream
ing down her cheeks. "Oh. T know
you'll think I'm a coward," she cried.
"I feel utterly ontcmptible, but J
know melf too well to dream that I
could make you happy that way. I
ouldn't live in a studio and do my
own work: it just isn't in me. I've
been thinking it over and tr)ing to
find a way out, nnd there justdoesu't
seem to be one. I've been n coward,
but from the very beginning I knew that
I could never be happy married to you."
She looked at him then, his face white
nnd working with the cruelty of the
words she had just flung at him. Gene
was a dreamer, he lived outside of real
ities. And Elsie, the gay butterfly
from another world, had completely
charmed him. lie had pinned all of

Adventures
With a Purse
FRENCH underwear? Is there any
thing that is more fascinating or
dear to tho heart of w.oman? I vow
that were there one woman in the world
who did not love and long for at least
one combination or one nightgown dis
covered in the French room of some
shop she would only have to look at the
lovely garments I saw with their deli
cate embroidery to want one, and want
one hard ! And tho prices arc surpris
ingly reasonable. I saw nightgowns,
soft nnd sheer, for as low as .$3.75. A
cunning chemise for $3 and an adorable
soft little combination with a bit of Irish
lace edging around the top nnd pink
ribbon shoulder straps for $3.75.
When feather pens or quill pens with
their lovely coloring first appeared they
were rather short and the quills square
looking. But now, for $'-, one can buy
crncef.il tnnering quills, artistically
shaded and designed to lend an attrac
tire touch of color to the most somber
and uninteresting desk (if a desk could
ever be that). The one I bought, rest
ing in a vivid orange-colored cup, is of
deep yellow, shading into brown and
tapering almost to a point.

that no one will want to hear of a

Elsio was sobbing, her head buried
in her nrm like a child
iilease," she gasped.
Gene got to his feet, and Ruth sprang
to bim.
"Dou't go, Gene, wait for Scott and
have dinner with us, stay here tonight,
don't go, Gene, stay to please me."
Hut he shook off her detaining hand
not ungently nnd stumbled out of the
room.
There was silence for n time except
ing for Elsie's sobbing. Ruth stood with
her back to .Toe and Elsie staring out
of the window. Her heart was with
Gene. Ought he to be left nlonc now?
Wns it safe? How horrible it nil wns.
Suddenly she realized that .Toe wns I
spcnkjng to Elsie.
"Do jou want me to take you home?"
Ruth turned nrouud. Elsie with her
handkerchief pressed to her eyes with
one hand, suddenly held out the other
to Joe. It. was a sign that might have
meant anything. It wns in this way
that Elsie accepted the inevitable.

New York, Sept. 10 Prof. T.lin
