CHAPTER XII—Continued
Hugh, on hia way out, planned
that he would have his mother in
vite Ellen for dinner very soon
O r he would issue the invitation,
call up and coax her a bit if she
seemed unwilling. Not tonight—he
had to work late tonight. And to
morrow Mother had invited the
John Renshaws for dinner, and the
next night he had to go to the Wel
lers’ . . . well, some time soon!
Perhaps next week.
But the Renshaws could not come
the next night and Fluvanna went
to a concert with Margery and Will.
Hugh read the paper, looked at a
trade journal, and at nine o’clock,
feeling restless, decided on a long
ramble. He took Rowdy, Kezia’s
dog, with him, a wire-haired ter
rier, which she could not keep in
the apartment.
Hugh circled the boulevard and
the park twice, a walk of two or
three miles, drawing in deep
breaths of the early March air
which was keen and cold, yet with
a difference.
He walked with a swinging step,
submerged in his own reflections,
Rowdy investigated lawns where
lighted windows drained away into
the shrubbery, then returned to
him. Hugh did not know when he
became conscious that a woman
was walking half a block ahead of
him. She must have turned out
unnoticed from a side street. She
walked rapidly, for it was a lonely
place for a woman to be, the dark
woods on her right, and on her left
the houses set far back from the
street. Young, slight, and faintly
familiar.
Suddenly she turned abruptly to
her right and plunged into the
wood. She walked swiftly and
without uncertainty until she dis
appeared.
Hugh stood still. He had recog
nized her by a forward movement
of her shoulders—or thought he
had. Why was she going into the

park at this time of night?—timid,
sheltered Ellen. The perspiration
broke out on his forehead as he
remembered the small artificial
lake . . .
She was up to her knees in the
water and wading out when he
reached her.
He lifted her in his arms and car
ried her to a seat near the bank.
She looked in his face dazedly.
“ It’s Hugh? . . . Hugh?’ ’ Then in
a low murmur:
"Why did you
come?”
"Fate sent me, Ellen,” he an
swered simply. He drew her head
to his shoulder.
"Because you
were never meant to do that
tiling.”
She gave a long sighing breath
that was more poignant than any
sob, it held so much of tears un
shed, of misery. “ H ugh," she whis
pered, "it aches so here.”
She
laid her hand on her heart.
“ I know.”
A pause, then her voice again on
thnt tremulous, respiratory note:
“ Yes, you know.”
She diooped
against him shivering.
Suddenly she sat up. The water
dripped from her sodden clothes.
She faced him, her wistful blue
eyes startled and examining. She
shook her head. "You are braver
than I—stronger. I can’t—go on.”
She began to cry, shuddering dry
sobs, that licked his heart like
flaming faggots. He drew her to
her feet. "L e t us walk. No good

that ducking. We'll walk very
fast—see, like this.”
He led her out of the woods, un
resisting.
"Can you run? . . . Come, E l
len, run with me as far as the next
corner.”
They ran for a long block, then
slowed down to a walk.
"Tell you what we ll do. You

She put her hand over her eyes.
"Whatever you say—I ’m so bewil

His mother was not home when
they arrived. He took her directly
upstairs, turned on the hot water
in the bath. “ Get in there, young
lady, and be quick about it. 'T i l

your door in five minutes.
He changed his clothes quickly,
then ran down to the telephone and
called the Pendletons.
Gavin’s
nervous, irritated voice answered.
"Ellen is here with us.”
"Y e s, yes,” Gavin stuttered.
"She’s all right. We’ll keep her
until tomorrow if you don’t mind.”
"Wait—wait!”
Gavin had.a colloquy with Lizzie,
then muttered, “ Mother wants you
to bring her home.”
" I f I do I won’t answer for the
consequences!” replied Hugh.
There was a pause while Hugh
heard Lizzie’s strident voice in op
position. She evidently wanted to
talk to him. "Keep her,” said G av

He foraged for everything he

Gavin took off his glasses and
rubbed the place behind his ear
where they had rested, then put
them on again and blinked at
Hugh.
’Lizzie will raise a fuss,” at
length came his pronouncement.
'I’ve not talked to Mother yet,
but she is so devoted to Ellen that
think she can be persuaded to'
go,” said Hugh.
Six months in France and Italy
would restore Ellen, Hugh had
pleaded. His mother would ac
company her, he thought. It would
be well for his mother to have the
change; the family difficulties—he
had paused—had been hard on her.
Gavin frowned. "B ut Lizzie----- ”
“ You mean she’ll disapprove?
You must make her see how im
portant it is. It means more than
’ve been telling you, Gavin . . . ”
He leaned forward and rapidly told
him of the incident down by the
park lake.
Gavin rose, paced the room, mut
tering unintelligibly u n d e r his
breath. He came back. "Y ou go
to see her . . . tell her . . . Oh,
my God . . . Ellen 1" He slumped
down in his chair.
Hugh rose. "Y ou want me to
talk to Lizzie?”
'Yes, I'll drop around there this
afternoon." He did not fear the
interview with Lizzie a fractional
part as much as her husband did.
Gavin wrung his hand at parting.

blurted.

Checks, stripes and monotones are
the gay themes that sing to riotous

for nonchalance, these wool tweeds
are indifferent to the hard knocks
of traveling and they never know
the meaning of wear and tear. The

or who will spend any time in a

FEATURE VEILS IN
MODELS FOR AUTUMN
Veils which not only cover an en
tire hat but the face and the shoul
ders are the most striking feature of
many advance fall models.
The large mesh veil which is dot
ted with chenille is the favored type
for wear during the daytime, but
there are some handsome lace veils
to wear for more formal occasions.
Most of these veils are circular in
shape and are thrown over the high
peaked crowns of the new hats so
that their draped edges extend well
over the shoulders. Sometimes they
are placed over the head before the
hat is put on so that the part which
covers the crown of the head serves
as a crown for the hat.
Another type of veil, also circular
in shape, has the center cut out so
that the veil fits around a crown or
edges the brim of a hat. It usually
is worn to give a downward sweep
at the back, frequently extending
halfway to the waistline.

These short skirts are far more

which are likely to get trampled
