r BEGIN HEBE TODAY Her mother was fanatical upon the aubject of guarding her beautiful youngest daughter, so Diana Farwell reached her 18tn year ‘‘cold and untouchable, and with very Uttle real knowledge of life Diana, attractive and longing for the’ good times all youth is heir to, resented her mother’s attitude even though she knew it had something to do with her older sister.

She was sweetty solicitous at breakfast. Anxious to please a husband, whose only concern seemed the front pageoi tne morning paper. But, as Arthur - parted, he inquired, “Where are you to meet Staunton? “At the Temple Bar tearoom, I suppose.” . “Do vou know where is? Isn’t it on Grant Ave.? I can find it.” He hurried away without even the usual pretense of kissing her. Left alone, she hastened to wash the dishes and clean the apartment. Long before noon she had accomplished work which usually required half a day. Impatience was driving her to top speed. By lunch time there was nothing more to do, and she was not to meet Staunton until 4 o’clock. she paced her small rooms restlessly, finally deciding to straighten the drawers in Arthur’s chiffonier. Dumping the contents on the bed, she was startled to see a letter from her mother between the piles of handkerchiefs. It was like a sudden signal from another world. And without thinking she opened it. “My Dear Arthur: I have something dreadful to tell you. Return-

In these days of keen competition, the people who are rundown, quickly fall behind—while their healthy, vigorous rivals, who comply with laws of Nature and keep their blood supply rich and nourished, get ahead, Good blood is health’s foundation. When your blood is poor, you are dull, weak, slow, and pale—your brain cannot work effectively. But you glow with health when your blood is rich and strong! You look vigorous! You fairly sparkle with winning magnetism!

ing suddenly to the house tonight, I found Diana in the arms of THAT BOY. You remember the one I spoke to you about? I don’t like him, nor do I trust-the romantic, high-strung temperament I suspect in my little girl. She seems cold, but it is inexperience only. She has inherited many of her father’s characteristics, all of his charm, and lam afraid for her. To no one but you would I confess how terribly afraid I am. I have watched her closely, have been careful to instill only the HIGHEST Ideals. . . . But youth is so impatient. “I know it is unnecessary to remind you of the suffering my other daughter has caused. Many times death has seemed infinitely preferable to the anguish I have had to endure. But I have lived for Diana. “It made me so happy when she promised to marry you. I know you will make her a wonderful husband. But I need you now. Arthur! Won’t you come? ...” Diana stared at the signature through tear-blurred eyes. Astounded to see written after it in Arthur’s own scrawl, “I wonder! Nov. 3, 1925.” His comment after marriage! She remembered how quickly he had responded to her mother’s incoherent appeal, and for a moment she felt the stirrings of the old resentment. Holding the letter carefully, she reread the finely written lines. “High-strung, romantic . . .” But she wasn’t. Prom childhood she had practiced repression. Many times she would have enjoyed the luxury of tears, but had refrained because it “wasn’t done.” How little Elizabeth had understood Diana had no desire for love in its ordinary meaning—it was repulsive to her. Even on the night of which her mother had written, she had felt no thrill in Louis’ nearness. Merely the wish to comfort him! . . .Yet her mother had been almost violent in her rage. Her immediate marriage had been the result. And now what had she? A most unsatisfactory union with a man who seemed utterly unlike the friendly charming companion she had admired. A husband who craved more than she had to give and who became irritable and morose when denied. Yet her mother had said he was just the man for her. He would make her a “wonderful husband.” Eyes remote, Diana brooded before the window. How little one had to do with the deciding of one’s own destiny. There had seemed no alternative to marriage with Arthur. It was impossible to continue liv-

ing at home under her mother’s hysterical control. Watched more closely than any child! Yet if she had waited, even until Christmas in accordance with her first plans, she would have been fijee now to live her own life. After her mother’s death sne would have been responsible to no The color deepened in her cheeks as she imagined the delightful things she might have done. Travel, theaters, a definite search for her sister; perhaps a career! Why not. Wasn’t everyone constantly reminding her of her dramatic possibilities? And wasn’t she beautiful? Rather childishly she sought the fuU length mirror in her own room. Exulting in the slenderly developed grace she naively recognized. “With beauty and a fair amount of brains,” thought she, modestly, ,“what might I not accomplish?” Then her spirits dropped. She was tied for life. Eternally, everlastingly bound! Caught in a trap she had not attempted to avoid. She had struggled for freedom and walked into a cage whose bars were tenfold stronger. Threatened by the constant menace of caresses which were distatsteful, wounded by the exultant indifference or jealousy and suspicion of a husband she was sure now she could never love. With the innate selfishness of youth she saw it only from her own point of view. Arthur had deceived her. Had made her think he pre* ferred the same sort of relationship she desired. Her blue eyes filled with tears as she recalled the days of their honeymoon. His romantic, unselfish interest and admiration. The flowers he sent ea:h morning, his unfailing consideration and tact. When he discovered her real point of view, how swift her descent into reality. Which reminded her that her present housewifely task was unfinished. She returned to the bed and began to sort the piles of handkerchiefs and collars, pausing to read the names on a thsater program Arthur had stuffed in his pocket and later transferred to the drawer. High sounding names! “Constance, Daphne, Wanda, Mitzi, Fawn . . .” Diana wondered if they were real or had they gone to school as Helen, Gladys and Ida? She pictured her own name in print. Diana Farwell! No, Diana Vane. Or perhaps Diana would be more unusual pronounced Frenchily. “Dee-on.” She was frowning as intently as if confronted by a real problem. What would go nicely, melodiously, with a name like that? The telephone brought her back to the present. It was Edward Staunton reminding her that he would be waiting outside the tearoom at 4 o’clock. Instantly her thoughts were all of her sister again. What would he have to tell her? As she walked up Grant Ave. her heart was doing cartwheels inside her breast. He was waitiing, but as she started inside he stopped her. “Not really? You didn’t think we were going to be so conventional?” Her blue eyes widened. “Why not? I thought you wanted to show it to me.” “I’ve some place a lot more interesting to show you,” he smiled. “Where?” “On Montgomery St. Wouldn’t you rather have tea in my studio where we can talk?” She hesitated, torn between her rigorous training and an instant desire for the unusual! But why not in his studie? Nothing incriminating about that? She accepted, airily. As if—oh yes—she had tea with men in their “studios” almost every day. She imagined a long, light room with polished floor and a white bearskin rug. Tea would be served before an open fire from a Russian

samovar. He would ask her to smoke. But she would not accept, because on the rare occasions she had practiced behind locked doors she had been conscious of a faulty technique. She really didn’t hold them right. But she would refuse so nonchalantly that he would think it only a momentary whim. She was surprised to find that they were passing through a rather disreputable neighborhood, crowded with dingy shops and flashilydressed young men, who followed them with wise, bright eyes. No doubt this was Bohemian atmosphere. They entered an unpretentious building and ascended to the seventh floor, passed down a narrow hall of closed doors to one where Staunton applied his key and cried; “Enter my kingdom.” Its utter shabbiness caught fct her heart. One window, two chairs, a cot, a table with a portfolio and easel, and a few scattered tubes of paint. All around the wall were crayon sketches of nude, misshapen women. Nothing beautiful about them. Distorted lines without appeal to the fresh untainted taste of a girl. “How do you like them?” he asked, gravely. “I don’t.” “Thank God!” he retorted piously, and disappeared behind a curtain to make the tea. So this was his studio! No wonder Arthur had not cared for it. But oh, the pathetic gesture this lover of beauty had made. Forced to sell insurance to make a living, he wooed his muse by night. This room was hfs declaration of freedom. It represented his passionate desire for an artistic life. And in the light of her own recent experience Diana could sympathize

with him. Better a crust of breae in the chilly atmosphere of this humble studio than slavery in padded luxurious walls. He brought the tea and bread and butter. “Will you smoke?” “Not now, thank you!” Very well done! She threw back her coat and sipped her tea. Surely now he would start telling her about Vivian. But his conversation remained impersonal. “This room has seen some gay parties.” “My husband attended one of them, didn’t he?” “Did he? Maybe he came sometime with Ben and Bob. The fact of the matter is that I am not always acquainted with the personnel of my own parties. Particularly after they’re going good. Sometimes they last for forty-eight hours.” “That’s a long time.” “Yes, the end is really a game called the survival of the fittest.” She stared at him innocently. “I suppose,” she said, wistfully, “that you do have a lot of fun. Do you invite women, too?” “Good God,” he thought, violently, “is she going to expect me to ask her?” He replied with the color deepening in his pleasant face: “Not nice women, Diana.” With her eyes suddenly swimming in tears she leaned across to him. “Please, let’s not evade the issue any longer. Have you discovered anything about my sister? Why don’t you tell me?” He put his cup down gently, as if it were something very fine and delicate. “My dear,” he said, “your sister does not wish to see you. I invited her to meet us here this afternoon and she refused.”

Diana’s lips were trembling. “Oh, then you do know her? But you must be mistaken about her not wishing to see me. It was mother and Vivian who quarreled.
