"It has heen very amusing, though, meeting all these nice peor ple," she observed, He was suddenly thoughtful, "I suppose I've heen rather self- ish about you," he reflected 'I ought to have Introduced you to some young people hefore," "Why on earth should you?" she demanded, "I have not that sort of claim upon you at all, Tam just your secretary and you are more than good to me as it is, And as for young people~~well, one amuses oneself for a minute or two, but af. ter all it is nothing." "T am heginning to wonder what T should do without you," he con. fided, She thrust her arm quite nature. ally through hls, "That 1s just how I like you to feel," she declared, They paddled round the lttle lake, rested for a while on the ls land and turned at last reluctantly toward the shore, when thev realis- ed frdm the streams of dlsappearing people that the polo and sports were over, "It has heen quite heavenly" she slghed, 'I feel miles and miles and miles away from every one, from everything that has ever happened to me before in my life, It is what you call in English--=a redsletter day." . He pointed toward the curving river, "It is hard to believe that a few miles along that," he sald, Mr, Gireatorex ia sitting In his office, tearing his hair because I will not go on buying, and a couple of hun. dred salesmen and porters are mak- ing themselves very hot coining money for us," "You must be more mercenary," the enjoined, "You should be very glad that people are working fu or« der that you may be rich, When you have landed me I muat find thy telephone, and you must be near in case they want to sepak to you," They made their way Into the house and aHrvey gathered after a brief conversation with Graatorex an nothing abnormal had happen. ed, "We really needn't go back to the office at all," he told Grace, as he turned away from the telephone, "It would be quite all right to stay down here and line, Would you like to? There will he music after- ward and we oan sit under the trees and get really cool," "I should adore it!" she exclaim- ed, "Rut can I stay like this?" "Tt 1s usual," he assured her, "1 will go and see if they can rake ua." Harvey found a table whieh he carefully chose in one of the remote corners of the room, Somehow or other there had been times during the earlier part of the afternoon when Grace had been laughing and talking so successfully with some of his younger friends, when he had felt a quer sence of uneasiness, al most of discontent, She had devels oped unexpectedly soelal gifts, the existence of which he had never suspected, Her manner, while it wag perfectly charming, had in it Just enough of the French spivit of gayely to render her unusually at tractive to two, at least, of the men to whom she had heen introduced, "You look delightful as you He had found himself behind in the THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1929 5 Oppenheim heim gay exchange of badinege, inclined to stand on the outskirts of the light-heprted little circle and won~ der after all whether there wos a fitting place In it for him, His momentary depression passed, how- ever, as he wandered out on to the terrace in searen of Garce, only to return in some degree as he found her talking to Philip. Bartielt, one of the most assiduous of her after- non admirers, The latter turned toward him simost eagerly, "Miss Bwayle tells me that you are dining down here, Harvey," he said, "Why won't you join my party? 1 have my sister, and Bop- hie Troon, Jack ason, Pattie and one of your oldest pals, George Beckingham, dining," Harvey hesitated, The very ides was 8 disappointment to him, but he Aid his best to conceal his feel- ings, His new resolutions with re- gard to Grace were very speedily being put to the test, "Very good of you, Philip," he began 'I do particularly want to see George--~" "It must be another night) Grace Interrupted firmly, 'I have told Bir Philip that we have serious matters of business to discuss, He does not realize that 1 am a very hard-working young woman and that this is the first holiday I have had for weeks," "All the more reason why we should celebrate," Bartlett pursist- '0d, "Another night, mind," Harvey begged, with a sud- den wave of vellef, "We might have coffee together, perhaps, 1 really am terribly overworked and Miss Bwayle has been doing a great more than she ought, We just eame down here for a little quiet and fresh air, but, as a matter of fact, T am not at all sure that we might not he rung up for and have to go back to the city at any mom- ent," 'Bad luck!" Bartlett sighed, with a regretful glance toward Grace, "I hear you're quite the man of affairs now, Harvey, It seems odd to think of you down there with all those city blokes," "Got to be done," Harvey declar- od, almost ecstically cheerful, now that the question of dinner was get- tied," Come and have a cocktall, It's nearly 7 o'clock," They made their way round to the lawn outside the bar, where they were joined by the rest of Bartlett's party, Pattie Mallinson attached herself at once to Harvey, "Too pad you won't dine, Har. very," she complained "You're such a hermit nowadays, What's this I hear about Mildred?" she went on, dropping her volce a little, "Is it true that you have sold the bouse in Curzon street and that she has gone abroad?" "Quite true," he assented, "ex- cept that T didn't sell it; she did, while I was abroad, Mildred hated being rushed home from the Ri- viera and she thoroughly disavprov. ed of my going Into the business, fhe thinks, naturally perhaps, that I am going to make an awful! pash of things and--well, there you are, She has gone off for a time, and I've heen living at the club, I've just taken a flat in the Albany." Pattie looked across at Grace, who was talking and laughing with Philip Bartlett, "There are compensations ahout even a oity life, I should think, Harvey," she whispered, 'I adore your secretary, and so, apparently, does Philip, Why can't I do some- thing of the sort? Could von find me an employer lke yourselfr "Well, you'd have to learn your job first," he reminded her, "What would my job bet?" she inquired ingenuously, "Little cat!" he rejoined, "Mims Swayle has gone through a com. plete secretarial course in Paris, She can type and take down in shorthand either French or Eng Hah," "How wonderful!" Pattie mur. mured, "Did she come to you through an employment agency?" "You're an inquisitive, voung woman," Harvey replied, 'but since I suppose every one will ask me the same question, T'll.atart by telling you the truth, She tu the granddaughter of an American manufacturer with whom the firm had considerable business eonneec- tions, He dled in our offices some time ago and she came over from France under somewhat painful eir oumatances, We naturally asked in what way we could help her, and, at I had no secretary and work was the sort of help she wanted, T en gaged her, We have a dosen Young typists in the place and she ia atraets ahead of any of them." "Absolved, my dear Warvey," Pattie confessed, 'but then you're such a dear old stick mo one would talk gossip ahout you, I wonder why you don't take a little more notice of some of us nice girls some- times," "1 don't get the opportunity," he assured her, 'I'm down at the office now from 9 o'clock some- times until midnight, TI haven't even heen to a theatre aince I got back." She nodded sympathetically, "You started by having a rough | time, didn't?" you "Very, he admitted, *T am not out of the wool yet, but I think I oan say that I'm three-quarters on the way through, Some more friends came up and Harvery took advantage of the ope portunity to slip away with Grace, "Phe next item an the program is that we now have to make ourselves presentable," he announced, "and meet under the trees in a quarter of an hour," "For dinner, T hope," she ex» claimed: "To be as happy as this always makes me hungry." it you don't|ly "For dinner," he agreed, leading her into the house, Ho watched her pass through the little throng in the hall with a nev- or satisfied curisity, There was something in ber movements be- yond the grace of her youthful and bosutiful body--a certain enrriage which he, a critical observer of such things, notiesd with something ap- proaching wonder, She was hum- ming to herself; a personification of gayety and light-heartedness, Prom the top of the stairs she Jook- ed back and waved her hand to him, ngers brushing for a moment her Hips, It was a little gesture, entirely individual, affectionate, in a sub- tle kind of way alluring, He made his way to the dressing rooms fill- ed with a resurgence of those pleas. urable anticipations which seemed to come to him always in her near presence----premonitions of some new thing close at hand, That evening Harvey always looked back upon as marking » dis- tinct and portentous change in his relations with Grace, Their din ner, in a secluded corner of the room close to the window, from which they could catch a vista of the smooth lawns and the cool green of the trees and hear faint whisperings of the music from the red-conted band in the distance, was # BYOAt success "In England," Grace declared, "1 had no idea that there was anything #0 beautiful, In Paris, yes, One eats out-of-doors thers so much more frequently; hut this is all so quiet and chle, You are kind to pring me here," "Kind to myself," her, Her eyes sought his insistently, "You menn that you like having me with you? You find me really an agreeable companion?" "The most agreeable J ever had in my Mite," he answered truthfule he assured 'Then why am I not oftener with you?" she demanded, 'I spend every evening alone, Sometimes I am almost sick at my heart for loneliness, And you--what do you do?" "Twice last week," he replied, "1 dined at my ecluh with men who bored me, Every invitation 1 have Jotused--~1 have a good excuses for doing so, The other evenings I have stayed at the office late and gone straight back to my rooms." "It is absurd," she declared, "1 in my solitude, and you in yours, Please, Mr, Harvey Garrard do not let us be foolish," "Just now," he confided, "I am feeling very foolish indeed," "Ah, but are you sure that yw know what folly 1s?" she asked, "You are so terribly, terribly young in your judgments, Here am I, 22 years old, and I belleve that I know more of the world than you," "It is possible," pe admitted, "What other man would dream of shutting himself up as you do," she continued; 'of keeping away from me if he really cared to be with me? Ig it because of your wife?" Heo shook his head, "My wife is utterly Indifferent as to what Ido," he assured her "Well, I must not say things of her that are not pleasant, beacause she 1s your wife," Grace went on gravely; "but it seems to me that she Is a very foolish woman---for which I can easily forgive her be- cause I am glad that she is a fool- {sh woman, But that 1s no reason why you should be foolish, too, I am going to teach you wisdom," How?" he asked, with an Inter. est in his tone which amounted al- most to eagerness, One of her little Parisian ges- tures escaped her; a half closing of her eyes, a shrug of the shoulders, a flash of the hands.
