She had always loved the little park. Having it there, framed by' ber front windows, lent an illusion of spaciousness to her cozy chintz-hung apartment. 'ft such times he to htr for reassurance.

At such times she loved him more than she could have believed it possible to love. She came to know, too, that money meant a great deal to Derek. She began to realize bow much hen Ernest Thorvald approached ihim tentatively about the portrait of his daughter. Ernest Thorvald was the owner of a California ranch as big, Derek told her, as some European kingdoms, on which be lived like a feudal baron. The pupils of Derek's eyes had been very wide and black as he told Constance about his meeting with "Baron Grapefruit" as he called him.

"If I can land this commission, Connie," he said, "it will give me so much publicity that I'll be able to sell anything I paint." Then his face darkened. "If only the girl hasn't a squint or a harelip." As the matter hung fire, Derek had grown restless and irritable. Then last evening, just two days ibefore their approaching wedding, be had rushed in excited as a schoolboy, with the news that Mr. Thorvald was coming today to ithe studio to look at some more of Ihis work.

"Eight it is!" he cried, and held before her a shimmering scarf oi a deep vibrant blue. "Trade?" When he saw her startled face, he cried swiftly, his eyes holding hers with boyish pleading, "Please! It isn't every day you can make a canvas perfect with one touch ol the brush." "I'll wear it," Constance said wickedly, "if you'll wear th green one." With a shrug he removed his tie end when she handed him th green scarf, he put it about hii neck and knotted it into a rakish bow.

As she fastened the blu scarf at her throat, he watched her with dreamy satisfaction. "I shall paint you," he declared "in exactly that shade of blue." A ND he did paint her so poised against a shadowy background like a vibrant blue flame, with blue shadows in the raven of hei hair. He called the portrait sunplj Lady in Blue. It was the picture that had won him first place at the International this year. During the months since that first meeting Constance had found that Derek was not always a gay, irresponsible boy, any more than he was always arrogant and cock sure.

She learned that he had moods of deepest depression, when he doubted himself and disparaged every stroke of his brush. At imind'if she did not hear from him until late in the evening. Yet this was only morning, and here was a note from Derek. Con' stance opened the envelop, a tender little smile on heislips. When she bad readmit through, she glanced unbelievingly at the i signature and read it through I carefully, painfully again.

Then 'she stood for a long time motion-Hess, staring dry-eyed across the bleak little park outside no more (bleak in the thin sunshine than the frozen smile that still lingered ipalely on her lips.

Stevciuon. CLOSING "POORHOUSES" A Washington dispatch notes that bout 75 of the Institutions that used to be called "poorhouses" have recently been closed, as a result of old age' pensions. Also the population of many other such Institutions is being Some years ago there were about 8,500 almshouses in the United States, caring for something over lnmatee. people of former generations felt a great dread of having to resort to the so-called poorhouses. They worked long hour in the effort to lay tip savings which would keep them from having to seek this form of aid.

Recent years have seen such widespread destitution, and so many worthy people have been unable to find work, that the government has had to -pass out aid to a large section of the population, A good, many people have Rotten over the old, reluctance to seek p. folic aid, though in the main those who have had uch help are keen to find Jobs and wish to support them- If people have done their best, they need have no. sense of shame in asking' help. Marly, who are permanently -incapacitated could probably be cared for at least expense in the type of Institution called an almshouse, which Is sometimes referred to by the plcas-ntername of the "city home." Most of these places are very nicely conducted now, and people who have had misfortunes should not be ashamed to seek their shelter. The community does not want to be imposed on by the Indolent and lazy, but It wants to make life comfortable for those on whom life has been herd.

The old age pension terns should usually care for those too Cti to work, mostly in their own homes. There will always be some who have no home to whloh to go, and the community must continue to deal kindly, with those who must look refuge to some public dwelling. it uz. When Derek's note came that morning, Constance stood for. a moment, holding it caressing fineert.

n1 money this gorgeousness had run intoall her savings except the ten-dollar gold coin she had tucked away in the purse she was to carry. The prospect of life with Derek had demanded a gesture of reck less lavlshness. And Derek liked her to look smart. He was meticulous about his own appearance. "It helps with the right kind of people, darling," he explained.

"And it people who buy pio mm lures." Constance found herself vaguely bewildered by this philosophy. She had supposed that people bought pictures because they liked them. But, then, her whole assocU' tion with Derek had been a be wildering, breath -taking experi ence. Since they had been engaged, she had awakened every morning with an excited feeling that she was the heroine of some strange and beautiful tale of enchantment. CHE had first seen Derek Man- thon over a year ago at the I opening night of the International I Exhibit he had won Honorable Mention that year and she had thought that of all the artists present, he was the only one who really looked the role tall, dark, and handsome in his formal black.

It was the next morning that she had looked up to see hiirH standing by the desk in the American gallery marked "Information" where she presided. He began without taking his eyes from a list he held in his hand, "I wonder if you can Then he looked at her, and the pupils of his eyes widened in theii singularly clear, transparent irisea in the way she came to know so well. "Merciful Heavens!" he ex ploded softly. "Now why, I won der, hasn some one told you no) to disfigure yourself with that par' ticularly poisonous shade ol green?" The look he bent upon the bii of green silk at the throat of hei black frock held such active dis like thaf Constance barely man aged to keep her hand from flying protectively to the scarf. After an outraged heart-beat, however, sh said in a voice which she managed to keep level and quietlj amused: "Perhaps because no one who knows me well enough would be: guilty of such an impertinence." "My dear girl," he said shortly, "don't talk nonsense.

It's no impertinence to hate seeing beauty outraged." He moved abruptly away; bu1 half way to the door he turned to call softly over his shoulder with one of his sydden flashing smiles, "And I'm not talking about thi scarf, either." Constance spent her idle moments that morning devising silky, icy, devastating phrases with whicluto slay him if he dared to come back.

There has been a golden souffle, asparagus, a salad, hot biscuit with honey, some of the cheese Derek liked so much, and a very special bottle of wine.

And there had been yellow roses on the table and yellow candles in the silver candlesticks her fellow workers at the Art Museum had sent her for a wedding present. The candlesticks had come while she was setting the table; and Derek had insisted on using them at once. "After all," he had said, "why wait two whole days? We'll be married the day after tomorrow, anyhow." Before supper Constance had! shown him some of the new clothes she had bought the smoke-blue satin dinner dress just the shade of her eyes; the velvet that wasn't brown or rust or burnt orange, but had a touch of all three "I must paint you in that," Derek had said. Then there were the white knitted suit with the variegated scarf; the bouffant gray coat with the swirl of fur about the hem, and the saucy red hat with a bag to match. And, of course, the gay posy-garden smocks "To wear when I'm cleaning your brushes for you, darling." She had not told him how much mausoleum rich in decorative is 22 To possess.
