But Venice finds her- self repeatedly a wall-flower. She has only found one man, Drake Farrelly, who appears interested in her, and in whom ghe can be her genuine self. Venice is lovely, with copper- eolered hair, slim grace and a wistful hcart-shaped face. She believes that she could be pop- ular if she only could learn to toss light conversation, and fcrget herself in the situation.

ASPIRIN AND THE LEFT BANK The most seductive of sirens Paris in the late spring, shy ye elusive yet obvious, laugh the gay sunlight, sombre ir n. But there i , a soft powdering It was lovely that first week in Down the years it stayed in s memory, a carefree seven gays of fascinating shops, rich , occasional cocktails and no contacts that caused her embar- rassment or the exertion of sum- moning heady repartee. The only blot on the horizon of those sunny days was Mrs. Muir's cold. She complained of it a great deal and developed a short, minc- ing, little cough. Venice could not determine whether it was a real cough or something affectedly nur- turned, But even the cold brought its advantages. Mrs. Muir decided to wait until it was cured before she communicated with certain ac- quaintances in Paris and cousin Alicia Poe at Antibes. The interim of no friends gave Venice a de- licious respite, nothing to worry about. It was a period of sevenf days in which she never once had to bother over what any onej thought of her. Lovely. Vi being just Venice, no necessity summoning sudden smiles, sudden gay rejoinders. The cold also zn\fo‘. her several unforseen opportuni- ties for prowling about on her own. | The cold was responsible too for her fleeting conversations with the girl with the big eyes, a conversa- tion which gave her a mental start, a glimpse of a new point of vlew.I It was their sixth day in Paris.; Mrs. Muir and Venice were in the former’s bedroom after luncheon. “What'll we do this afternoon, Mother? Let’s sit in the Tuileries. | It’s such a lovely day.” Mrs. Muir sighed. “My head is all stopped up,” she complained fretfully. “I don't think Tl go out.” 3 Venice glanced back at her with genuine sympathy. Her mother’s nose was really un- duly red. “But the sunshine might do your cold good,” she suggested. Mrs. Muir pressed a hand to her forehead. “You don't realize how miserable 1 am, Venice.” Never Dangerous to Cure Eczema That’s What Doctors Say— Some people have an idea that it is dangerous to try to cure eczema ~—that the “poison” will go through your system. That's all wrong, doctors say. Nobody knows exactly what causes eczema, but plenty of folks know how to stop it—how to get relief that's nothing sort of magic.

Come on, Mother.” “It would be most imprudent. I can just tell you one thing, Venice Muir, if I die over here you can bury me some place around Paris. [ don't want those rough sailors pushing my coffin around on ship- board.” Venice tried not to smile. “Oh, don't talk that Mother.” Mrs. Muir put on a quick, bright smile to show how brave she was. “Well, I won't then. But I mean t. An ocean trip is bad enough vhen you know what it's all about, out it must be much worse when jou're dead.” Venice laughed outright here. “You are aghoul, Mother.” “I'm not. When you reach my age you'll look ahead too. And I lon't want you to mope or miss way, Jarties ever for me. I don't ap-| rove of it for young people, re- nember that. Go on out, my dear. ‘Il write letters and take aspirin.” “Are you sure you don't mind ny leaving you? I'm dying to nouch about the left bank and you lever want to do it with me.” “I certainly don't. Paris is dirty nough on the right bank. Run vong and don't get into any ob- cure streets. Remember you look ike a rich American.” “How humiliating.” Venice hurried into her hat and 0at and ten minutes later was valking through the Place Ven- lome, up the Rue de Rivoli and m across the Seine. She found a 1arrow winding street and followed Wine shops, antique shops, o0k shops. She lingered so long staring through dingy windows chat dusk suddenly told her the nour was growing late. She was completely lost and had to inquire her way back every few streets. “Pardon, madame, ou est le Quai d'Orsay? Pardon, m’'sieur, ou est le Quai d'Orsay” and so on. Headed in the right direction she became lost in impressionistic de- talls which painted themselves sharply on the sensitive retina of her appreciation. The soft pastels of dying daylight in the darkening sky, here a square light in a high window like an orange block in the mauve dusk; there a mass of yellow roses in a shabby ven- ler's arms. Crosing the Pont Royal she lingered a moment star- ing down into the purple ribbon of the Seine, sluggish and sheenless, its dullness broken here and there by the point of a reflected light. Back at the hotel Venice found her mother sniffling and coughing and crying miserably. “Where have you been, Venice? T've been horribly worried.” “I'm sorry, Mother. It's only twenty minutes of seven. How's your cold?” “Wretched. And my chest hurts. Where have you been?” “To the Quai d'Orsay and through backstreets some where out towards the Boulevard St. Ger- main.” “Oh, my head. My head’s split- ting” Venice regarded her mother so- berly. Was she really ill or was this one of her perpetual exagger- ations? Like the boy crying wolf, she thought. You can't tell. “Let's call a doctor. Don't you remember that Doctor Hawks you had once before from the Ameri- can hospital?” “Yes, let's. I think I had better jhave him.” They ate dinner in Mrs. Muir's room. Dr. Hawks arrived as they finished their crepes Suzette. “A heavy cold,” he pronounced. “Stay in bed several days, Mrs Muir.” “Are you coming to see m! again?” she inquired anxiously. “I hardly think it's necessary Not unless you telephone me that you're worse.” He was a nice young man, lean and aquiline. One of those Ameri- cans who has lived in France so long that he talks like an English- man. It is an inexpliciable de- velopment but it often ocecurs. After he had gone and her mother was comfortably in bed, Venice went downstairs to the lounge. She felt unaccountably de- pressed. The afterncon had been so lovely and somehow it had all !dispelled itself in terms of aspirin and hot water bottles, and fretful reproaches. The room was empty |except for a girl about her own !a.ge who bent over a center table |examining a map of Paris. Venice | watched her. She was compara- jtively well-dressed with a pale face devoid of any make-up. Suddenly she looked up and Venice was star- tled by the size of her earnest blue grey eyes. The girl took her in and smiled. “Do you know where the Rue de | | Grenelle 1s?” she asked. Venice felt suddenly pleased. She moved to the center table and| leaned over the outspread map. | “It's on the left bank, I think. Let's see.” i Their index fingers traced vari- ous streets and boulevards. “Here,” cried Venice, “here it is.” “Of course, and I've been hunt- | ing for ten minutes. Some friends | have asked me to meet them there | at a place called La Petite Chaise! tomorrow and I couldn't imagine where it was. Thank you so much.” | Venice straightened and felt! awkward as to the next conversa- | tiona Imove. | “Sit down, won’t you, and talk to me,” suggested the girl. “Yes,” said Venice, and suddenly | realized that this was a new person | and she was being her customary diffident self. She gave an exact imitation of her mother's most winning smile. ! They made themselves comfort- able at adjacent sides of the table. “I'm over here alone, are you?” “No, with my Mother.” “I broke loose from mine. My family is party mad. I hate par- ties.” Venice forgot to be anything but natural. “So do I you?” she cried. Why do Venice learns a valuable new viewpoint, tomorrow, and John- ny Maple turns up.
