An American girl. Eugenia MMle, from
Arkarma*.
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.

one who wields a great deal more
power than he likes to show.
"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

the piano, where Marlse tried the
effects of various combinations, and
finally deckled on a desirable one.
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. Vallery
sitting at the right hand of their
mayor, with her mild air of deprecat

Ing the too great honor done her—
and her little sulphurous flume or
vitriolic contempt playing over the
convolutions of her brain. "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.
And my name is going on the pro
gram!”
“Eh bien!” cried Marise in the live
liest surprise, "why, I didn't hear a
word about all this."
"No. it was in talking with M. Val
V* Avoid Imitations—SobstitntM
lery that the plan was made. He
hadn't dreamed of their being able to
afford aueli u thing. Jt w;ts my own
Idea. He was quite carried away by
it. couldn’t ace how 1 came to think
of It."
Marise was silent, meditating pro
foundly on the prettlnc.is of the world
In whloh we are called upon to live.
Speaking on Impulse, she now said
rather abruptly, to Eugenia, "1
wouldn't have much to do with the
Vallerys, If I were you. He's really
an awful cad."
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!
Marise was for an instant stricken
so speechless hy this idea that she
could only stare. And by the time
she could have spoken, she perceived
that there was nothing to say, no com
ment on the prettiness of the world
an<l the people who live in it, that be
gan to be adequate.
At the great gate* of the school
pare, Eugenia and her maid decended.
Eugenia kissed Marise good by, the
correct kies on each cheek Ihia time.
Nothing annoyed Eugenia more than
any reference, intended or imaginary,
to the time when she had gone about
kissing her schoolmate* on ti^p«#
mouth.
After the other two had rung the
clanging bell and been admitted,
Marise stood for a moment, hesitating.
Then she decided to walk home, al
though home was a long, long way
from Auteull. It would do her g-xsl,
she thought, netting out at the power
ful, swinging gait she had for the
long walks Which for her, as for the
more energetic of her class mate-,
had been the only form of outdoor
sport accessible.
