I've been walking behind you for fifteen minutes.” “Why didn’t you shout?” “I wasn't sure it was you.” Yes, he was just the same, His collar was soft and his overcoat rough, a vagabond sort of young man.

Con- teng, in. her own little closet.” She went on and on. She told him' all about Nolly's operation that was a ifdlure and Nolly’s engagement. It was wonderful. Some one to whom you could talk abot the things ' that mattered to you. She describ- €d her mothers’ death in Paris and n she suddenly stopped. He hadn’t heard. He'd been in Florida all summer. Did he know about » Rene? Was he still going to be kind because he was sorry for her? 8he would so like to capture his sincere - interest. He Iooked at her, astonished. “Go on. What caught you up?” ; “J—oh, I've dome nothing but tter ‘about myself. Tell me out you.” She couldn't actually drag Rene out into this nice, sim- ple, friendly encounter. 9 “Theres’ not much to tell about me. I'm working hard. At present T'm burned up with a contest I'm for.” “What kind of a contest?” ? “A new skyscraper. Must be at least sixty stories high on a com- paratively small piece of ground, Difficult.” They had emerged onto Fifth Avenue. "‘Come to dinner with me,” said Venice impulsively. “I wish I could but a chap from Philadelphia is in town for the day. I'm meeting him at seven.” “Oh.” Venice knew a sudden quick embarrassment. “Well, I'm hoping ‘a taxi at this corner.” ““1o0k here, Venice,” he protested catching her arm, “you’re not go- ing shy on me.

She wants you to come over tomorrow about things to do with her wedding. She’s going to be married on the eleventh.” “Thanks, Norah.” Even this ex- citing news could not dispel her disappointment.
