T seemed to Judy that life was like a fog all about her, a fog in Wwhich she was losing her way In the fog were voices and cries uem;\‘ tore at her Such things go with war!” Judy told herself. “It is like going into & maze. When we get out it will all be ciear again. This blackness is to try our strength. It is to find out if we are worthy. ‘' And, oh, how much she did want to be worthy! And she grieved because there was nothing she could do for this great country of hers—nothing could give it! There came presently a small note on a heavy, creamy paper. The writ ing was bold, black and somehow f: miliar, “Dear Miss Betts: ‘I haven't forgotten the pleasant little talk I had with you at Mr. Ol ney’s studio. I hope you haven't com pletely forgotten it, for I want you to remember me fo that you will be disposed to grant me a favor An organization of which T am a member wants to give a monster benefit for the soldiers. “All sorts of novelties seems to be the idea of the committee in charge of arrangement 1 suggested a toy booth, and the idea was received enthusiastically. Do you suppose vou could take charge of a toy booth, fill it with your very charming toye and—here I hesitate. perhaps make a few in view of a large and delighted audience? I'd love help out at your booth, if you would let me. “By the by, I haven't forgotten that I asked if ‘your mother would give me painting lessons. Have you asked “her vet? shall be waiting eagerly for your answer. Cordially vours, . “CECILY LORIMER.” At first Judy shrank from the or- deal. The memories she carried of the tea at Olney's studio had not been so pleasant that she cared to drag them imto the light of di + But Judy had learned in a hard #chool that an unpleasantness shirked was likely to come back doubled or trebled, so she faced the idea. Here was something she could do! She would be doing something for the country, something for the men who were going to fight for it. Having made up her mind, she went to Honey with Cecily’s request for lessons. She and Honey had not been very close since Hone exhibition. Just where the fault she could not say, but there was romething at once hard and arrogant about Honey. This, perhaps, Judy could have stood more easily If Honey's attitude had felt that this was unendurable. There were ugly little quarrels nowadays that left scars in her memory, quar mels that sent Dabs out of the house looking white and sick. She came to her mother with Cecily's jetter. Handed it over quietly ‘and watched Honey while she read it care- fully to the end. Then she said, “Well, Honey, how about it? Honey looked up. Her eves shone. “Success breeds success, doesn’t it?” she asked with a hard triumph. “There was a time this would have meant a lot to me. But it doesn't now! Why, I'm almost rich, Judy! “Think what that means! And it only took one success to do it. I can have pretty gowns and all the th}ngs T've been starving for all my lifel” A few thousand dollars won't last forever!” Judy reminded her soberl Honey's face puckered. ‘‘There you go!” she cried. "Trying to spoil my pleasure! You seem to take a perfect delight in doing tha “] want you to have a good time with vour money,” Judy said miker- biv. *"Jf youll feel any better about my extravagance I'll give this girl les- on! Honey conceded. “Who is she, how?" M ehe's a friend of the Dariens, I hink,” Judy said. ”’H}ne\“s eves opened wide. “Of the Dariens? That's thrilling. And she wants to take lessons of me? What & she he wrote a little mote to Cecily g a date for Cecily to meet Honey, and was rewarded by an im mediate phone call. "This ie Ceclly Lorimer!
