*THE EVENING STORY of his painters./ When Ellen’¢ little card was carried to his office by the uni- formed porter he frowned, but some- thing of the oddity of the proceeding struck him and as he had nothing to do for the moment he let her come in. She paused. “Mr. Landell,” she said, of that relative’s reaction that s ve brought you one of my sketches. opened her mouth on that subject again. | I'm from the United States.

Not “one of those dreadful strong-minded Ameri: can women” after all. “Let me look at what you have there,” he said, and took the package from her hand. He expected something rather dreadful, but not in the way that Ellen’s work was dreadful. These sketches were ghostly. She had copled the_water-colors_but_robbed them of pted the beauty of mothers and andmothers through the medium of t [ut when she arrived in England the cMatm of mists and obliterated horizons felled her. She roamed the wet London streets in an ecstacy flooded with the beauty of what could not be expressed in oil paint—her hitherto conception of valid pictures. She became absorbed in the water colors of Copley Fielding. She trudged from her boarding house in the dim old squares of Bloomsbury to the museum at South Kensington. “She lost the timidity of y she’ bought a etch. She effects that 0 get them.

She was so st cant, until one noted the big gray eyes that saw so much in an elfin way. When she had time to think she was rather panic-stricken. She hadn't the round- trip ticket the minister's wife had be ed her to buy; she had cut her moor- ngs completely from the old drab life and she felt akin to the fogs that drift- ed the streets, excepting when her very healthy appetite and the alluring scents of good food leaked through the doors of the three refreshments rooms of the, museum and she remembered she was a Wholesome young American woman ac- eustomed to three well-prepared meals & day. She loved to walk. Hence she escaped Bus fares. She had plenty of clothes (she wouldn't wear mourning), but she had felt able to stock herself on that elastic account her aunt’s creditors must by now have closed. Her aunt had insisted she have proper clothes. fhat was her only concession to the :em»up youth of the wistful grand- iece. Then one day she saw her funds were getting appallingly low. She must “do” something. But what? She knew that reading aloud was as unmarketable as croquet. Her great-aunt had taught her to play croquet. She learned to Jaugh at the funny things she had been taught to do. She didn’t know short- h she couldn't even use a type- writer, since the great-aunt considered it bad form to write social correspond- ence thereon and insisted on writing her tradespeople (Ellen found that word universal in England) herself. ‘There was only one thing to do. She would seek an interview with the owner of a certain discreet little gallery where “one-man shows” were held and ask him what he thought of her drawings. Of course, if Ellen had known more of lite and art she would never have con- sidered such an idea, But she was quite childish and even a little pleasantly ex- Eastman Kodak cited.
