AMES kissed Jane and told her she was a wonder. He tried then to appear enthusiastic. He agreed that the plentitude of gl polished oak made a delightful golden glow, though he thought it dreadful. Later, when Jane had forgiven him and was discussing furn‘ture and color schemes, he even essoyed & few tentative suggestions about his prefer- ences. “yd like my den papered in red,” he sald. “And a rich red carpet would look like a million dollars on the stairs.” Jane laughed. “This is woman’s work,” she countered airly. “Don’t go bothering your blessed old head worrying about something of which you know nothing.” A day or two later at an evening party in their honor, James over- heard Jane laughing contemptuously over his “alleged taste.” “Would you believe it,” Jane went on, “James ‘wants the entire down- stairs, ceilings, walls, floors, papered and painted and carpeted in bright Turkey red? And bolts and bars on all the doors. He thinks the only use for a door is to slam it and bolt it.” “You might feed him red meat through the bars,” Sam Fletcher sug- ted. ‘”“Yu. doubtless it will go with his aura,” Jane laughed. Every one Iaughed except Leslie Harris, who was seated on a cushion on the floor. “The loveliest house I've ever been in is the Haskells in Fort Leaven- worth,” Leslie said quickly. “You know Mrs, Haskell was one of the Whitneys from New York. She made the house over inside and she has a crimson carpet on the stairway. The walls are white and there is an iron balustrade. I thought it was beau- tiful. And it must be as it's been pictured in House and Garden. Mrs. Haskell says crimson is the richest color there is.” “Mrs. Haskell is red-headed herself; that may account for it. Well, every one to his taste. And taste is ne‘;l]er ble, is it?” Jane asked frigidly. “E‘“Y‘es," sald Leslie flatly. “I think s good many of us might argue whether . . . certain things are in good taste.” “And who is to decide?” “One’s own finer instincts . . . if one has them.” Leslie jumped to her feet and made for the piano. “Tll play. Let every one dance.” She broke into that new success, “I'm the Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo.” James went out to the front porch and smoked & cigar. He had left Jane sitting flushed and discomited. James’ heart was warmed with a sneaking glow of which he knew he ought to be ashamed. Still Leslie was right. It wasn't in the best of taste. He supposed he'd catch it going home. But the incident was never men- tioned by either James or Jane. James noted that at subsequent parties given in his and Jane’s honor Leslie Harris ‘was conspicuous by her absence. In the meantime the preparations for the wedding went furiously on. A wedding between a Stimson and & Northrup naturally was no ordinary event. For weeks and months Jane and her mother had devoted them- selves to making it the most brilliant ever held in New Concord, if not in the entire State of Kansas. The bride’s frocks were purchased in New York and the wedding gown came straight from Paris. The lingerie was made every bit by hand in a convent in St. Louis. The table and bed linen were imported from Ireland and every piece monogrammed. ‘There was to be a caterer down from St. Joseph and an orchestra up from Xansas City and a canopy and crim- son carpet (imported from God knows where) at both the church and Northrup doors.

James and the judge were notables. The Northrups did the rest. The last night in his old home before his marriage James sat long on the broad, low steps of the fron veranda between the white Corin- morrow. He had just returned from the elaborate church rehearsal. It was very late, but tired as he was, he felt no desire for sleep. A great depression, an utter weariness of spirit had settled upon him lke an old man of the sea and refused to be dislodged. Doubts and ques- tions which had pursued him at in- tervals for months now crowded about him, jeering and mocking. He was not thinking of Leslie. He had hardly thought of Leslie for s long timq It was marriage and its overwhelming foreverness at which he rebelled. With his head against & white pillar he closed his eyes and prayed long and fervently that he might prove a better husband than @ lover and make Jane happy. He vowed that she should never, never guess that he had rebelled at giving up his freedom. Very wearily he rose and went up- stairs to bed. It was because he was tired that he felt so depressed. ‘There had been an unholy lot of parties. Jane herself was on the brink of flying to pieces, and no wonder. Perhaps even now she was lying awake, as unhappy as he was. For one mad, glad moment James planned to fly straight to her and beg to have the wedding that was to engulf them both put off until they were both a little more certain. But, of course, this was madness. Jane loved him and he loved her—surely. When he finally slept he dreamed fitfully of the first James and of Sarah, h:: umfi Wh'::I he had loved and [ 80 derly. They regarded him pitifully and whispered together, but would not come close and take his outstretched hand no matter how G.“lm(-'l'vip Fares deteils sec s Sundey, April 28 $3.50 New York Baltimore $1.25 Every Sawrdey - Sunday $1.30 Daily—Goed for 3 dase $5.65 New York Daity one way, coaches only.
