CHAPTER II
AS the stood there, trembUnf on
her taU ludte heels, the mink
coat suddenly too warm around
her, Beatrice Huntington Daven
port knew a swift and devastating
fury. She wanted to go In thi
and tear that unknown young
dins eyes out! She wanted to slap
him, hard, across his hateful, smug
face.
She wanted to scream, "Who do
you think you are, saying that I
should be chloroformed What do

breeds envy everywhere I go?
didnt earn it, no. Perhaps I dont
deserve it But just having it
doesn't make me bad, black and
inhuman!
"You think Fm stupid and arro
gant and conceited. !" not I'd
like to work with my mind, my
brain. You dont know bow I've
tried, sometimes, to do something
find something worthwhile.
They laugh at me! Even Mr.
Weeming laughs!

am. Grandfather's millions the
life he brought me up to live

I've known that a long time but
I never knew, until I heard you.
bow bitter it is.
"What else will there ever be?
What else will I have? What ant
I living for? Where are the thrills.
the satisfactions, the contentment
they talk about and write about in
books? Where's the love the ec
static, passionate, soul-lifting love
i see in movies, read or, dream
cf?"
The impulse to rush in there and
confront the owner of that scorn
ful voice died inside her. Her
anger went with it and now there
was only the fear. She felt lost and
helpless and suddenly she thought,
"I hate him for making me look
at my life! I hate him for tearing
away the little pieces of camou
flage I've managed to hide in . . .'
She turned, and peered through
the narrow crack of the opa
door. "I hats him!" It was as if
she had to sea him had to trans
fer this hatred to some concrete
Image.
All she could see was a broad.
gray back, sitting in the chair she
had vacated. A brown hand rested
on the arm of the chair a big
nana, witn strong, blunt fingers.
And above the wide gray shoulders
ane saw a tanned neck and a well
shaped head with dark hair.
Fiercely her gloved hands curled
Into fists. "Ill see you again, you
you chloro former, ' you!" she
promised him silently. "Ill see you
again and 111 make you eat that
cniorororm!
e e e
RUT she was almost herself again
when aha walked Into the
lobby of the Algique. Clarence
moved toward her from the dis
creetly lighted lounge.
"Cara!" he whispered, "Yon are
weary, no? Come, we shall have a
drink." His black eyes were ten
derly solicitous, his hand on her
rm gentle.
She thought, "How shrewd Clar
ence Is! How well he understands
ime. He knows so much about
women . . ."
Over her glass she asked him.
"Do you understand everything
about me, Clarence? Just every-
Ithing? Or only when I'm tired or
not tired?"
He made a little gesture. "Who
can understand a woman, Bea
trice? I try. I study you. I love
you so, and want always to please
you "
"You mean, you want always to
be able to read me So that you
won't ask me for something at the
wrong moment So that at the
right moments, you can wind me
around your finger?" She was
thinking out loud. There was no
resentment in her tone, it was
merely an appraisal.
Clarence was in love with her.
He had to be, to have given up
Mimi Froth Ingham who had just
as much money and would have
been easier to manage. In a way,
Clarence was amazingly percep
tive. She twirled the slim glass i
in her fingers. "Clarence," she
said softly, "Clarence, suppose I
told you I'm unhappy, bored, rest
less. What would you say?"
"Say?" The black eves elowed.
and his hands reached for hers.
"I would say my little bird needs
relaxation, happiness, new scenes,
love, tenderness. In short, Bea
trice, I would say that it is time
for the honeymoon!" i
e
CHE drew her hands away. "But
I don't want to get married
Just yet Clarence. I I can't
really see that it's going to be any
different after we're married. Ex
cept for the house at Westbury, of
course. But that "
She dropped her eves. A sham
little ache of disappointment stung
her. Almost, she had hoped that
beneath Clarence's flattery and
lovemakmg beneath the polished
manners, the amusins little tricks
he would find some depth to
comfort her some sympathy that
would warm her, something real

"Clarence," the said lightly at
last "It's the same old trouble.
Tired business men have it with
their wives, darling, and rich girls
like me have it with their fiances.
You don't understand me!"
"Ah! A moment ago, you
thought I understood all too
well."
"Let's leave it" she said.

TUT somehow, it could not be
left Even while they sat to
gether In her car, and Jenkins
drove to the club where Clarence
lived, it nagged at her. At last
she burst out "Clarence, I think
I'll go in for good works. Those
social workers have always taken
my checks but never let me do
anything. I'm going to fix that!
I want to do something! It's the
people who work who always
seem to be so happy."
"Work to do in the world?" ha
scoffed. "Ah, love, it's not the
people who work who seem so
happy. It is only the people who
are not happy who, looking at
other people, think they are hap

a five-and-ten-cent store, you ap

in the world."
"I wish I were a girl in a five-and-ten-cent

"I'd live. I'd worry. I'd fall in

what life is. Beatrice. I love you.
I love these little hands and your

lie put a finger under her chin
and lifted her face until her eyes
met his. There was a fire in his
eyes, a dark and burning look that
could not be false. Yes, ha loved
her. That much was true.
"Kiss me, little Beatrice. Ki-ia
me and then dare to say you can
not have a real emotion!'
Afterward, he did not let her go.
His lips against her hair, his vole
husky with feeling, he said. "No
more running away, Beatrice.
Next week, we shall be married."
