Love’s Awakening The ll-rt Stery Stendfut Wnn By Adele GarTisoR wmmmmmnrsssnrnans Mary & Queen?—Madge Is All Agog ‘When Prince Georges Asks for an Interview With “Mary’s Guand- iant” 1 opened my lips in protest against the retaliation I knew Mary was planning against Princess Olina of Transvania, then closed them again li‘hlly. This “international romance” as Harry Underwood facetiously had dubbed the pairing off of Olina and Noel and Mary with | Georges, had progressed to a point from which it must proceed in one direction or the other. 1 thought T could see the inevi- table end of the affair—I hoped that it would send the two scions of royalty back to their fatherlands— and 1 was sure that before the af- fair culminated there would be clashes, recriminations and suffer- ing. But three of the quartet were headstrong and ruthless. Only one, and that one Noel Veritzen, had my real sympathy, and T felt that he needed a lesson first learned by the | caveman, tritely typified by the old line concerning a faint heart and a fair lady and as true in this mod- | ern age as it ever had been. | So I made my reply to Mary a promise that I would call her as she wished, and an admonition to go to sleep. Then thoroughly ex- hausted by my strenuous day, I tucked her up and going back to my own couch fell asleep, even as I| was wondering just how far the girl meant to go in her desire to punish Olina and Noel. Would she actually engage herself to Prince Georges when her heart was so entirely Noel's? The answer came speedily to me. Tt was the very nmext afternoon that 1 noticed a decided change in Mary's attitude toward the Prince, whose identity she did not yet suspect. She | always had held him distinctly at al tance despite her airy jesting| with him, had been prettily and| adroitly baffling. But when he ap- peared with his usual proposal for a drive, there was a softening of her | manner, a touch of pretty appeal to his judgment which T saw with a| wry smile was like a_heady wine to the admiring young Prince. Another thing I noted. drive Mary gowned herself in the new sports costume which she, in her thrift of the summer, had saved for very special occasions. Her shoes, stockings and hat were also the best her wardrobe possessed, and she carried the bag Lillian had given her, a proceeding most unusu- al for Mary upon an ordinary drive. As 1 saw them go down the drive T commented to myself dryly that Mary was armed for conquest, and T was not surprised when upon For the takable air of possessi “Ah! Mrs. Graham!" he sald. “Miss Mary tells me that her uncle is not at home.” “No, he returned to the city this afternoon,” I said, for Dicky. still i the bad humor resulting from our little clash of the evening before, had gone back to his work a day carlier than he had intended doing. “Then, — you arc Miss Mary’s guardian,—or should 1 see her grandmother? I would like to speak 1o some one in authorit; “Sounds as if he were a cop who wunted to put me in a reform school,” Mary commented gleefully, jand I saw Prince Georges' eyebrows | contract slightly even as he laughed at her sally. He was taking himself most seriously, and 1 guessed that ner flippancy had annoyed him for the first time. “I am at your service,” I told him formally with a mirthful vision of what Mother Graham would say should she be confronted with thiy youth upon the”errand which I guessed was his. “Shall we go into the library " “That's the ticket,” Mary catching at his arm. “Come George. Let's get it over with.” But Prince Georges drew away from her grasp and looked at her with astonishment in which dis- pleasure was distinctly discernible. Surely you realize,” he said, “that it would not be fitting for you said, on {to be present at this interview.” Mary patted his arm as she might {that of a puzzled child. “Oh! George, act your age,” she admonished. “You'll be sixty some- time, but you're not there yet. And remember we're in the United States of America in the year nine- teen hundred and twenty-nine, not back in the Middle Ages. Come on into the library and spill the dirt to Auntie Madge if yow've set your heart on it, but if you think I'm not going to huve a ringside seat, you've got a couple of more dozen deep thoughts coming. that's all.” Her fuce was so lovely and win- some as she lifted it to his, that 1 wondered he did not stoop to kiss her. I think he was very ncar to do- ing 1t at that. He was clutching wildly at his vanishing dignity, at his sense of what was the decorous and proper procedure at this crisis in his affairs. But he looked in Mary's laughing eyes and yielded. “The Queen must be obeyed.” he said and something in his voice gave me an odd little thrill. Strange things were happening in these troubled times. It was not without the bonds of possibility. Our little Mary! T led the way to the library with pulses absurdly quickened.

Anywhere was §00d enough so long as it was far enough away from their old home. That was all she asked—to get far enough away from that old home. It wasn't as hard digging as you might think it would have been. You see, down there close to the ground among the stems of the grasses, the snow# was not packed. So Danny traveled along at a pretty good rate. When he got tired of digging he turned to Nanny. “Now you dig & while,” said he. » “But how shall I know in which direction to go?" asked Nanny. Danny chuckled. “Haven't you found out yet that we are follow- ing one of my little path he de- manded. “If we were not we should have to stop to cut away a lot of grass as well as to dig away the snow. This is a little path 1 made long before the snow came.” “But where is it leading us to?" demanded Nanny. “You'll find out soon enough.” re- . “It's a place you know Mice are hungry folk. 1 don't know of any folk who eat more for their size than do Mice.

It really was a very wonderful place for a Meadow Mouse home. Danny insisted that it couldn't have been better and Danny probably was right. There was plenty to eat. There was not only the hay itself, but there wewre grass sceds of several kinds. No Mecadow Mouse could possibly go hungry in such a place. Above all was the perfect safety of it. Reddy Fox or Old Man Coyote might dig down to the edge of the big hay- stack. but they coulda’t possibly dig under it fast enough to catch a Mouse. It was a perfect home. “We will stay here all the rest of the winter,” declared Nanny happi- Iy. “We will have our next family of children right here.

Herc's Smart Model Tustrated today is a smart model developed in mauve faille silk witr & wool jersey striped in mauve, beige and brown. The loose box coat has a new neck treatment, the deep collar forming part of the lapel on the left side and ending in & loose scarf on the right. With it is a soft felt hat of wood brown, For the separate coat, T know of nothing more appropriate, if you can afford it, than one of the new flat fur models. It protects from salt water dampness and is not too warm for otean travel or for the cool nights of the semi-tropical climates. The mode! illustrated has many novel features to recommend it and make it distinctive. 8and colored American broadtai is the fur chosen, and the collar is trimmed with triangles of the same fur dyed a light beige tone. The lighter fur is used also for the belt and to pipe the novel points in the sleeves and across the front. There is a Jecidedly modernistic note about the coat, but is so discreetly worked out that the bizarre is not even faintly suggested. The brown felt hat is trimmed with a band of the beige-dyved broadtail applied across the crown rather than in the conventional manner. For the evening gown, T suggest satin. It is the most serviceable | material for traveling use, wrinkling less than velvet or chiffon and standing the dampness of the sea air with less injurious effects. The fllustration shows a formal type of gown in shell-pink satin embroidered in gold. green, hlne and silver. TIts distinction lies in the skirt, which is trimmed wth a single flounce, extending to the hip on the 1eft side with a Jow sweep over the right.
