' Oh, you must mean the broth er," Madge laid. "I did sense a certain coldness in his greeting, now that you speak of it." 'Coldness?

'T'HE music was still going on, only now Beatrice Harrington was at the piano instead of Colin. My first impression of Beatrice was that she was all brown. Her skin was a creamy tan, her hair like brown satin, and her riding clothes were brown, too. I ex pected her to have brown eyes, but they were gray. Dark gray and the clearest, gentlest eyes I have ever seen. She played the piano with skill and you could see she had been well trained. She was also most obliging about playing anything that was asked for. There was a circle around her, singing, and there were three or four couples dancing around the room and out througn the French doors onto the terrace. I saw then that CoEn was dancing, catching a glimpse of him as 1 went through the hall door. When I reached the kitchen, Cousin Ellen wanted to know where in the world I had been. She couldn't imagine what kept me, it wasn't possible that even I would sit in the Ebrary and read while there was a party go ing on and plenty of sandwiches still to make. She then went on to tell me that Herself had made a great to-do and the nurse had called Cousin Ellen up to see if she could do anything with her. The old lady took a notion that she was going to get up and she told the nurse to get out her pearl dog collar and her black velvet dress. Between them they had finally got her set tled down again but the nurse had given her notice and Cousin Ellen was exhausted. Feeling very guilty, I stayed in the kitchen making sandwiches I and opening bottles of pickles and j olives while Ellen had a "little 1 immfm r V 5S4-L SnOUL0K'TV.'., TU SCT TA2 JSSTTB CA i.FT WCC-TOWN.

After only half an hour she came back, however, looking rested and ready to tackle some more work. When I went back with another tray of refreshments Beatrice Harrington was still at the piano, dancing with' Miss Charlotte. T HA"E seen many dancers since A then, and the waltz has always been a favorite cf mine. I still thing there is no lovelier dance. And I still think that I never saw it more beautifully danced by two more graceful people than Char lotte Brent and Colin Fitzgerald there in that room at Innisfail on that June day, with the late after noon sun shining on their two black heads, as they glided and t . t i a- ai r a i xi m Beatrice Harrington's playing. I P0-' SuP- to Co- -ur:t-I stood in the doorway, unable j ayman C .Solomon, Ph. to move, unable to take my eyes ! calls F:-A off them. There were two other Remington R a n d Inc., couples on the floor, but I hardly i Serv. agr't. Co. Ciks. saw them. And then I was aware machines 1 .year that ether people were watching John Becker, " Scooping Colin and Charlotte, too, that corn Co.

And somehow I was aware, also, that neither Colin nor Char lotte realized that they were the : center of attention, that they were carried away by the spirit of the dance. Or was it with each other? And then the other two couples stopped and there was no one on the floor except those two, danc- ing in silence except for the music, the lovely waltz being played over and over, played un- faltermgly by Beatrice Harring- ions urm, creamy uiuau iuieri,. Over by the Ebrary door, I could m -f-T- pression in his eyes. His expres- sion did not change and not once did he take his eyes off Miss Char- lotte. And when, all in a moment and without warning, her step faltered, the color drained from her cheeks and she swayed, it T 1 "J i I J was iviars wao steppea over am; lifted her in his arms and car- ried her from the room past the crowd suddenly stricken silent.
