Thh was In Green street, one of the rebuilt heu-.es en the right-hand side n you go down from the Park. It had wen lately decorated, and furnished, and the owners (who were going abroad) had been willing te let It as It toeil, for tifty guineas a week. "An appalling let," Carmlchael had battered; thinking of his own rooms Orer that cnrairn In flin Kusten reud. rer these he paid thlrty-lhe shillings Jetkly. He had kept en thoie rooms. ih meant, whatever happened, te nn nn tiaue te keep them en.

Yes; bhe had pro pre Jwscd te hae a touple of rooms added Je the ganlen-wing a'i seen as peible wr her hushand'H use. In the mean lime, and as he would be out most c' his time in any case, theie was an rmPlv mom at the Prospect which Vnilld ,!,, fP J,),,,, ariiilclmel nail inslanlly and deli nlli'ly l),u ied this propes'ir.

The Carmichaels enme home early; she from her office, he from his garage attic where he spent bis daya with his models nnd calculations, i They, dressed in geed time; she in her big bedroom ut one side of the heuse en the becend Doer, he ln his en the opuflslte aide. Then, for the first time. uiai nay. nicy met in one of the two large reception rooms en the first fleer. Ft was known as "The Itcd Par Par eor. Just as Clever's loom at Rich inend (new occupied openly and of ficially, attached bathroom and all by Sandal Meadows) seemed like the in side of a great golden tulip, se te walk Inte this parlor was like entering a Hewer huge nnd rose-colored. Subdued red wag the carpet; a richer rete glowed In the upholstery of the bedllkc dies- tcriiclc . Itugs, curtains, thndes nil carrieii out a schenie that was, this lipping evening, warm, cozy and in y't'ns. .Only Clever felt that It was wrong for her. Ree-co!or repelled her, as blue repels some temperaments. She preferred the "Geld Salen" where even the piano was painted in blues and gelds and where the tawny amethyst brocades seethed her passion for even shade of yellow; Bhe had chosen it for nor own living room. Carmlchael, how ever, coming down first, had gravitated tewnnl the crimson-padded fonder-steel M"1 .V10, fl.r ,of elnziS legs In his own, the Red Parler. Se, as she bad wished for a word with him befere dinner, she had been obliged te go in there te find him. "It's rather stuffy ln here, could you open n. wiudew?" was her first and feminine comment. Carmlchael, manlike, loved fresh air out of doers. This soldier, who hud slept nights enough in the ficezing open, considered (like Aunt Gertrude of "Milestones") that there was no reason for turning a drawing-room Inte a park. However, he drew aside a heavv tu-lip-plnk curtain. Hungup a window an let in a blast of March air that nistlcd the sheaves of honesty nnd Cape geese berry set in the Chinesc-vnse between the windows. The long j cllew feather et (.lever s fan waved alie in this gale. He asked politely, "Is that tee much for you?" "Net at nil. I like it. I never feel drafts." He looked et her. She was, of course, In full evening kit; her golden bodice no scantier than me.-.t bodices of the epoch, but hew much meic peiltct weie the arms and sheuldeis, the neck and back that it displayed! Cannlchuel. who quite lately had noticed shoulders and necks, noticed these. He Iimc looked at them a great deal lately partly, of course, because it had been his part te take finni them or te place about them (he wraps or furs that Clever had worn when she had been going about with him in Paris. The wcie also, as Americans mij , "p-iv te leek at," these arm, firm and 'lull, these shoulders of dimpling cre.un. They were even, sometimes, net easy te look leek away fiem. Ohie or tube lie li.nl hud te remind hlm-elf, in the nlcl; of time, that he mustn't xtnic. Here was a woman nt whom he mustn't even look leek much. Se new lie looked away from her again, lie thought "feel drafts': Could she cM'r feel jiuythlng?" A Turning Point She said, "These people will be here In twenty minutes. " "Yes." ".lust tell me quiiklj who it is I hne te muku iiijsclf specially line te, this General Uervey or Sir Alger non?" "Oh," be said. "I am sure you will be very nUu te both et them. It was a great stroke et luck our meeting Her wy In Paris like that. He's paed the way for me, I knew. A gteat deal depends upon whether I cnu interest this ether man in the thing." "The thing" was, of course, always and forever, the mast. "What la he like; Sir Algernon, 1 mean?" "He glitters rather," said Car mlchael. "Personally I don't nrc for him as much as I de for Heney. Hut he's pretty well get my fate lu bib bands, when all's said." "I see," mi id Clever Carmlchael, nnd she looked down the tortoiseshell han dle of her fan at her own white hands. "Yeu mean he's frightfully vain and shows off Incessantly." "Oh, Lord, no. I wouldn't go be far us te say that," protested Car mlchael with all man's reluctance te adept woman's hencster speech. "He isn't as quietly sound as Uervey, per haps, but he has mere influence. I hupe te heavens I nianugu te enlist it en my side. I only had that gllmpse of him when Hcrvey Jutieduced me at the club last week. A geed deal depends upon this evening." And as he stretched hit long legs ever the rug tension was te be seen in evciy line aud movement of his body. I mler thut mask set by public school, arm), Uaditien and poverty upon his face, there was anxiety. Fer, realign, this was a turning-point indeed. This, their first official "party" at the Green street house, was the first party et the mast itself. This was the Ope of all these things for which Carmlchael had get mairied. This was the evening of the mast; ils own admirably appointed house, ils llewers, wines, beauty, con cen con vers.uie'n, hespitnlity. Without these things te offer, Cannichael would btill have been cooling his heels in auto rooms, still being told by underlings thai tue manor was icccivihk uui-iimm .mention! and that he would be infeiuied and advised, and all the rest of il, ill due utilise. In one stride C.iruiioli.ie! had parsed that singe, lie had met Geneial llenej, bimbelf an inventor, an Idealist, a soldier, a man of lctteis and a business mini, slaying at the Mcurlee where the Carmichuels were putting in their spoof honey moon. Hcrvey and he had talked while young Mis Carmlchael had geno te a fitting; Uervey had heard all about the mast, had questioned him searchingly, as te its differences net only from the previsional pattern new In us but from any suggested schemes. Te get Sir Algernon Cox interested in it, that was the. important thing, Uervey had said (for whose rank, roc owl, position, orders and decorations see the two Imposing columns in Who's Who). 'Chen had ceme the hnsty In In In tioductien at the club, and Sir Alger non's "I've no time, I've no time to te da.v net a minute! We'll meet anon -I'd like te meet Mis. Carmlchael. Yes, I hear eu've mairied one of the seven loveliest Of course Uervey do de clans it's- the coming thing Pve no time we must talk about Itnext week, perhaps " and then the fix ing UP of this this evening of evenings.
