SYNOPSIS. Caroline Knolys, wife of Hubert Knolys, capitalist, la coining home from Europe. .Her huaband prepares for her coming. Caroline's bosom friend, Susan Arbrie, rusbes into the house to tell Mr. Knolys that Caroline is in trouble with the customs officials. While he is wondering what to do, Caroline herself appears, thinking -she has settled the difficulty. She greets him cooly. Caroline informs him that their marriage stands as a Temple of . the Gods of Convention and incidentally refers to a past incident of his Ute which precludes his getting a divorce from her. Likewise she reminds him that she never oversteps the bounds herself, so that he never will have grounds to free himself on that score. Caroline has been Italy with Miss Amble and Lawrence Hildegarde Sanbury. Hildegard is interested in slum work. . The Sanburys appear in the Knolys house, while Hubert is still there, and Caroline pretended to be glad to see Hildegarde Sanbury. Meanwhile Mr. Knolys learns new details about the ' Italian trip. - - - To a woman of lesser nature or ot lesser love It might have occurred that ' she wanted her husband's success to 1 come through herself rather than . through another woman. Hildegarde looked at life with wholesome singlemindedness. Lawrence was her bus- : band, he had married her because he loved her; therefore be would continue to love her unless she did something to destroy his feeling and she loved him too much to fail him. It was all very simple to Hildegarde. -In love she had gone in quest of the absolute, and it did not occur to her , that the absolute does not exist in human emotion. For change she did not allow. That a woman fifteen years his senior could look upon Lawrence except as a protege and delightful young frier d she did not guess. Caroin might have called Hildegarde a narrow-minded prig, who lived in one world and refused to look into another. But when she had said tbat she would not have dismissed Mrs. Banbury Hildegarde deliberately made contentment and even joy out of all . the elements that entered into her life. That Caroline could not understand now or ever destruction would be clear to ber; the constructive attitude .would only vaguely irritate her; and so Caroline's longing would have to ,be to pour some bitterness into the maddening placidity of Hildegarde's wholesome sweetness. "It's fine of you to be so Interested. , Larrie's never had a chance to prove what be can do. For all his twentyfive years, he is Just a great big boy." And in those very words, which show ?d an utter dangerous charm, Hildegarde made an enemy. . . "Do you think the tenement is quite tr-e ah, the the atmosphere for him to work In?" asked Caroline distilling ber first drop of poison with dangerous sweetness. "My work 1b in the tenements and be hasn't complained. Besides, offices cost lots of money." "Yes. And have you ever considered how very much your work in the world might hinder him?" "In what way." Hildegarde was deeply puzzled. Hlldegrade Lays Down a Hard Law. "Art has always been supported by the patronage of wealth, and you can't expect that the people whom you attackand publicly attack are going to reply by using their influence to promote your husband." "Then Lawrence must work his way without their influence." The dignity of Hildegarde's attitude surprised Caroline for a second. But since the other woman was not vulnerable at this point of attack, Mrs. Knolys dismissed it and started anew.

"With your help I hope to place him where I know he belongs. But I cannot if you oppose it." Caroline press her point home. A queer little pause followed, and then Hildegarde said exactly what was intended she should say:. "f don't see how I stand in his way." "You have already made a difficulty with my husband." "Then Lawrence will have to choose." "Oh, no, you musn't put that on him. You mustn't bind him by his love for you. For If he falls to choose properly you will be forced to bear the burden of his bitterness and there is nothing 6o bitter in all the world as an artist's bitterness." "He has his work I have mine. It's for him to choose." There was a little Bturdy obstinacy in Hildegarde's nature and suddenly it colored her reply. ' "And is your muckraking worth his career? Knowing that he loves you now and will be Influenced by you. have you a right to make him choose?" "No more have you!" Hildegarde felt trapped at bay. But Caroline's tone in reply had an assumption of placid nobility. "There is this difference. I do it for his sake purely." "So do I." "I doubt It." Caroline smiled in very polite negation, but Hildegarde replied with a passionate fervor of which the other woman had not thought her capable. "Don't you think it would be easier for me to see him settled? I've walked the floor at night. I've agonized over his career while he has been sleeping like a child. I've made it a point of honor not to allow him to spend one cent on me. I "Oh. vou're lookinc at this . rirpKa!

know it's shabby you've noticed i. ' 'he hasn't" ! Caroline Patronices j

the Artist's Wife. !. Caroline was finding Hildegarde a delightful responsive instrument on Which to play. She let her critical glance roam once more over the staabbiness of tbe other woman's clothes and then she assumed the intensely friendly tone with which a woman of the world knows how to patronize to the point of assuring another woman that they are not of the same world.

"My dear, you mustn't feel sensitive

about your clothes!"

, Choking back her tears, tbe other

woman replied tjuletly; "It's the first time I ever was."

"You must let me give you a gown

or two.

"Oh, no! I couldn't accept them-I couldn't!" cried Hildegarde, recoiling

before the easy insolence of the proffered charity. "But, my dear" Insisted Mrs.

Knolys, in an elaborate patronizing

tone that fairly brushed aside the oth

er's pride, as an expensive luxury which a dweller in modern tenements

could ill afford.

With a quick flare of angry pride Hildegarde got to ber feet "Excuse me, don't presume she said in a tone

of icy dignity as worthy of Fifth ave

nue as of Second. .

Mentally Caroline scored a point for

the other woman. After all a clever ad

versary made the game more worth

the playing. And evidently simple hon essty did not .mean chinging. Hilde

garde's very attitude gave Mrs. Knolys the precise opportunity she wanted: It

was quite simple now to explain that

an architect s profession had a social

side, that there were people he must

meet wealthy patrons who would ac

cept him in the conventional externals

of a well cut dress suit.

And the next step was the suggestion tbat a shabby wife who was unwilling to meet social requirements could hardly be included in the affairs to which her husband must obviously

go.

Hildegarde was frightened by the cold logic of the situation in which she found herself but she accepted

the obvious conclusion.

"Certainly, I shall not expect to be

invited.

"I must compliment you, Mrs. Sanbury. You're stronger than I thought

you were, said Caroline.

If Lawrence had to be fought for, that made him none the less desirable in Mrs. Knolys eyes. He came into the room now in the joyous rush with which twenty-five meets its opportunity. He was aglow with the anticipation of the splendid commission the Knolys house would prove, and of the still- more wonderful commissions to

which it would lead.

He tearfully said that he wanted the money to get home, but after taking it had hidden the bills among same cards on Mrs. Candler's desk.
