If she had relaxed into that state of Indifference typified by dress- ing sacks, untidiness and supinenss, her attitude would have been easler to define. But it was apparent that her vitality had been in no way im- paired and that she still clung to the Vvisages of her vouth with an ardor in no sort abated. To Cherry, the ritual at the dressing table was now the symbol of an aspiration which, e L LT R ST still dwelt among the scenes, of her former triumphs. If Cherry had been disposed to be | lenlent she would perhaps have thought of her mother as a disap- pointed woman still clinging rather hopelessly to the remembrances of success.

BSinoce she was obviously unhappy within the house, it was better, even if her husband was neglected, that she should go out of it. But Cherry did resent the atten- tlons of John Chichester, which con- tinued to be us persistent as they were incomprehensible. The facility with which he had transferred them trom Cherry to her mother, and AMcla's tacit acceptance of them, led Cherry Into bewlldering mazes of thought. It was true that John Chichester had never proposed to Cherry. And she realized that it had always been her mother who had cultivated this intimacy as a part of (her general campalign for her daugh- ter's soclal career. Cherry could not believe, even now, that her mother had been acuated by any other pur- pose. But the fraquency of Mr. Chi- ' chester’s visits and the evident pleas- |ure which each took in the soclety of the other had become more and more disturbing. At the very last, her mother's heedlessness was un- undignified and unbecoming; at the {most, insensible and disloyal, in “pirit, if not in letter, to the sick man. Cherry reallzed for the first time, with @ strange qualm, that her mother was some years younger than Ler visitor, a fact quite evident when they were seen together.
