She did. however, resist an easy , opening, given her by the next re mark of Eugenia’s, as she looked across tho beautiful room. “What makes it all so just right? I’m going to sturt In at that corner, and look at every single thing, and find out what makes it right.” •Marise restrained the mocking words on the tip of her tongue, and turned away to the half-open window, near which she stood. Behind her Eugenia’s voice said en viously, “Where did she get all these terribly quaint Louis XVI things?” How thoroughly Eugenia’s English diction teacher had rooted out that "lurribly’’ of Eugenia’s, thought .Marise. Aloud she answered, “She began col lecting years ago, before anybody else thought of it.” ”1 shouldn't think a teacher would have much money to collect.” "Oh. she picked them up for noth ing, In corners of whatever province she happened to bo In, out of barns and chicken houses and attics." Eugenia said complalnlngly, “It seems to me she always has been able to pick up something for nothing. Look at her husband.” , Marise said over her shoulder, “Oh, she didn't get much, when she got him. He never would have been any thing except his good looks, if she hadn't taken him up. And she didn’t get him for nothing—not much! Mile. Hasparren says—every one who knows them says—that she made him. She writes his speeches now. I’ve seen her. And never bothers him by being jealous.” “I should hope not," commented ■* Eugenia. “She’s ages older than he. And he’s such a ripping good looker.” “What did Jlme. Vallery marry him for, if she’s so terribly intelligent?" challenged Eugenia. She delighted In using the words she had formerly mispronounced, and giving them tho purest, most colorless Intonation. There was not a trace now, in her speech, of the sweet, thick, unstrained honey of her original southern accent. Marise looked out frowningly at a greut beech tree bursting into life in the garden across the street. It held its huge, flowering crest proudly into the spring air. To look at It was like hearing a flourish of trump ets, triumphal, exulting. That was all very well for trees, thought Marise, that stupid, yearly emergence Into a life that promised so much and brought futility. Along the gravel walk. Inside the Luxembourg, under the hedge of lilacs, under the new splendor of the great beech, a young man and a girl in a pale gray dress were strolling. They looked at each other and smiled. “That's the way my father and mother probably walked together," thought Marise, wincing. "That" was one of the clumsiest, most obvious parts of the general conspiracy to fool you. But when you had the key to the code, as Marise had, there was little danger that you would be taken in. "I think I hear them coming," said Eugenia. "I do hope monsieur is with her! Not that he veer conde scends to pay the slightest attention to me!" She assumed carefully a pose of unconscious ease on her small, spindle-legged chair. Marise turned around from the window and looked at her with appreciation. Was it only two years ago thnt Eugenia had scrambled up from the crumpled bed on which she had lain a-sprawl? “Nobody can say your genre is not decorative, Eugenia,” she remarked with the sincere intention of pleasing the other girl. “That's a perfectly glorious toilette; just right. And, oh, how divinely that. broadcloth is tail ored.” Eugenia looked at her resentfully, with a flash of her old suspicion that she was not being treated as an equal. “I haven't any cachet, and you know It,” she said. "If Mme. Vallery can have cachet do you suppose I'm going to be satisfied with just chic?” Marise felt one of her claps of laughter rising within her, but kept it back, as the beautifully proportion ed paneled door opened to admit their hostess. A tall, spare, stooped, gray haired woman, dressed plainly In fine black, with a shrewd, wrinkled, fresh colored face, well washed and guilt less of the smallest trace of powder. She looked like an elderly Jesuit. j Phone ATIantic 3857 j We Deliver to All Parts of the City I Chickens' - 17%c | Broilers "£*££ 38k j Pork Shoulders *??,£.*“:.9fc Boiling Beef ftUZn’OT:. 5c j Pot Roast 12k j Veal Roast 15c | Bacon, Dold’s, JSU.* .17ic j Bacon.

"Good-day, my children,” she greet ed the girls In a clear voice, with the utmost simplicity and directness of intonation. “Have we kept you waiting long? I told Auguste that we were a little late.” Auguste, magnificently tall and magnificently bearded, having now followed her in, the four sacramental handshakes were accomplished, Eu genia’s this time the promptest of all. After the equally sacramental ex change of salutations and questions and answers had been achieved, ques tions as to health and general news, which did not in the least denote any interest in these matters, answers which were pronounced with per functory indifference and received in the same way, the necessary civilized preliminaries were considered disposed of and the first moves of the game could be taken. M. Vallery's gambit was to say, looking admiringly at Eugenia: “Such a piece of the month of May oughtn't to be wittln four walls. Come over to the balcony a moment and let me show you your sister, the Luxembourg, in flower.” Mine. Vallery's move was to sit in the winged, brocaded, deep-cushioned bergere, and motion Marlse to sit beside her. “Let's get our business done and off our hands first of all." she said, smiling up at the tall glH in an ad miration as frank as her husband's for Eugenia, and, for Marlse, vastly more voluable. The others, in a little chiming burst of chatter and high sprits, moved off towards the balcony. Mme. Vallery glanced after them with an inscruta ble expression and then at Marlse with a brisk, business-like manner. The matter at issue just then, the occasion of the girls' call, was a fete rle charite at the lycee, over which Mme. Vallery's sister was directrlce, shoved up to the position, so the lycee teachers said, by the political pull of Mme. Vallery herself. This year Marlse had been asked to play, along with two other De la Cueva pupils, in the afternoon con cert which was the clou ot the three lays' fete. Mme. Vallery had written her to ask her to come to talk over the choice of music, and to Eugenia’s surprise and extreme pleasure had mentioned casually that she would be glad to see her pretty friend, Mies Mills, also. But Mme. Vallery said nothing whatever about Eugenia, other than (o comment in passing on how exces sively pretty she was, a real late regence type, such as one seldom sees nowadays. Marlse found herself, as usual, quite helpless before the Vatican ante chamber suavity of the Dlder woman, and reflected, not with out some resentment, that she prob ably seemed as naive to Mme. Vallery as Eugenia did to her. After some desultory talk about other features of the fete they got jut a pile of music, went together to Jam &Jelly Making now an exact science Fresh Fruits are Plentiful!

All this time M. Vallery and Eu genia spent on the balcony, leaning over the railing, the sound of their voices and occasional laughter coming in pleasantly through the open win dows. They came In together, when Mme. Vallery summoned them to share the Muscat and hard sweet biscuits which it was part of her genre to serve at 4 o'clock Instead of the newly introduced tea. "Business Is over," she announced, settling herself in the chair back of the little stand, where the tray stood. “Now for some talk.” Dryly, with the inimitable terse pic turesqueness of phrase which made her famous as a talker with people who demanded a great deal more than youthful spirits, she took them back with her, 20 years, into the re mote provincial city where she had encountered every narrowness pos sible to bigotry and reaction, and had wound it all around her little finger. Through her highly amusing recital of how she had played on the prejudices of those provincials, how adroitly she had employed against them their very vices, their Jealousy and suspicion of each other, their grasping avarice, their utter dumb beast Ignorance of what modern edu cation meant, through all this played, like a little sulphurous flame, her acrid scorn and contempt for them, her vitriolic satisfaction in having cheated and beaten them, in having turned them Inside out and made fools of them, without their ever once suspecting It. Her husband’s admira tion of her powers was boundless. "That is now one of the most propsrous and successful lycees in eastern France," he told the girls, "and every year they have a big din ner with my wife as guebt of honor, with speeches and things, and some body lays a wreath on her as though she were a statue. Quite a Joke, hein?’’ "Well, that must be an enjoyable occasion indeed," thought MariM, see ing the scene as though she had been there; the simple-minded provincials, trying simple-mindedly to honor the founder of their lycee; lime.

"Yes. it is a vsrv pretty world we live in, thought Marise, laughing heartily at Mme. Vallery's satirical imitation of one of the clumsy speeches made in her honor on the last occasion, fihe thought it still a prettier world, when In the cab as she was accom panying Eugenia hack to Auteuil, Eugenia said, radiating satisfaction, "I'm to have my part In the fete-de eharite, too!” "You are!” said Marise, "what are you going to do?" "I'm going to give the money to pay for the appearance of a Russian dancer . . . the very newest thing. It will he the clou of the entire fete.

Eugenia looked at her with a know ing smile, "You’re jealous," she said laughing, "he didn’t take you off to show you the Luxembourg in spring!
