The other three walls were hung with tapestries. Rich tugs were thrown ! carelessly in the floor spaces and deep! luxurious, tapestry-covered chairs and | divans were scattered about. A single, | golden and crystal shaded lamp abéve | the piano furmished a mellow glow. Nan always sang after dinner; while the guests sipped their coffee and cog- nac and smoked their cigarettes. "What shall it be tonight?" she ask- | <d from the piano bench. The light | above her caressed her dusky hair and | bare ivory shoulders and the sequins] of her gown glittered like little dia- | monds. _""The Song of Love," Gordon Pres. | cott urged quietly, leaning, beside her, with an elbow on the piano. He was a tall, thin man of uncertain | !to listen to rehearsals of new talent. I | flatter myself that I can judge a voice, even. though I don't know the first thing about music. Have you ever thought of using yours professionally? "Oh, yes," Nan turned to him eager. ly. "I intended to go on' the stage or in concert when I finished my studies. Not opera, of course, but musical co- medy perhaps. But I married instead." "And now her husband won't let her," finished Caroline for her, with a laugh. "Jealous brute." Shé sent Lar- rabee a little mocking grimace. | She was as blonde as her cousin and gave the same impression of coldness which she dispelled by a lavish, but ra- ther clever use of cosmeti¢s. Her pale brows and lashes were delicately dar- kened and her cheeks and lips nicely rouged. They contrasted oddly with her colorless hair, which she wore drawn chastely and severely back from her face, and yet they managed to ev- ade the impression of artificiality. Everyone present, except the Ben- nings, knew that Caroline Prescott had angled in vain for Larrabee for many years before he had relinquished bachelordom under the spell of a pretty music student. Mrs. Weathérby and Mrs. Holt held the private opin- ion that she had taken her defeat grace fully, even sportingly, for it was she who had made the first call on the bride and had subsequently introduced her into the social set in which she age with a narrow, lined face.

"To look' at Gordon, one would ne- in his musical tastes. I honestly believe. that in his hedrt he cherishes 'The Rosary' and ie'." Nan smiled up at Prescott and struck a preliminary chord. "You shall have whatever you like," Love." Her voite was sweet and clear, but It had a Hilt; and a ripple that could lift the heart of the listener but it lacked dramatic quality. With light, pretty love songs, and soft crooning things, she whs at her best. But she didn't suspect it. . Prescott continued to lean on the piano while she sang. For the most] t hid eyes were lowered, but now d then he lifted them and looked | them. ~ "But," Bennings protested in ans- wer to Caroline's assertion, "It's really a crime not to mike use of a talent like singing. Heaven knows a voice is a rare enough thing." "Oh, and I love so to sing!" Nan was glowing with eagerness. "It's life for me. I'm simply carried away by music. I forget time and place and ev- erything." "I'm afraid she'll' forget me--that's why I keep her caged to sing at home," laughed Larrabee." "Eh, Nan?" "A wife should have no higher ambi. tion than to sing, to her famify and her guests," his mother put in primly, adding, (ond ie her children." Nan flushed, She felt the older wo- man's remark to be a. pointed referen. ce to the fact that she had no son. She rose. from the piano with a weary, little gesture. "Shall we have bridge now?" she in- quired and her voice was the voice of the automaton hostess." (To be Continued) ves +.
