Love’s Awakening By Adele Garrison Noel Veritsen Pours Out His Heart 10 Madge, But They Are Inter- rupted by a Familiar Voice Outside the ‘Window. There was such deliciously boyish naivete in Noel Veritzen's question concerning marriage without love that T would have been hugely amused had my ear not caught the accents of real desperation in his voice, The boy's emotional need of some understanding soul was patent and my reply was prompt. “My belief always has been that only a great love should be solemn- ized by marriage,” 1 said quietly, but with emphasis. “But—am I wrong in thinking you have some personal and urgent reason for asking the question? Can you tell me about i? | His naturally pale face suddenly | was crimson, and I saw that h facing something innately dist ful to him. I ninded myselt about the old saying concerning the relative merits of executing a shecp and a lamb, and resolved to spare him as much of the ordeal as pos- sible. “Would it make it easier for you?" I asked softly, “if T told you that I already know what Miss Jack- son asked of you yesterday? His fingers suddenly tightened upon lis after-dinner coffee cup, of unusual fragility for a restaurant, and the next instant the handle had | snapped and the cup dropped to the (* floor. | “Steady,” T whispered warningly | as our waiter hurried over, and Noel pulled himsclf together, accepted the fresh cup the man proffered and | gave him a courteous direction to | include the cost of the shattcred one in the bill. “Thank you,” the boy said grate- fully when the man had left us “Then do you also know who ring the Air | “I have known for some time that she is Princess Olina, of Trans- vania,” I returncd, “Am 1 right in | thinking you did not know it until yesterda “She told me yesterday,” he re-| plied, then after a second’s pause | broke out impulsively. “That makes it 8o utterly impos. sible.

I felt an irritated impulse to smack him soundly, and with diffi- cully kept annoyance out of my voice as I answered him. “I think you need sane advice more than any person I know,” I said slowly, looking at him steadily. 'Will you forgive me if I talk very plainly to you and ask you some pertinent — rather impertinent — questions ?” His brown ecyes, the possession of which any girl would have envied him, held the expression of a be- wildered collic which suddenly sces a familiar face, Invites a Scolding “Don’t you know that you can say anything you like to me?” he said fervently, and 1 smiled a bit grimly. “I shall take full advantag that permission,” T told him. we'll clea have no right to marry the Princess Olina. It would be unwise if you loved her. As you don't it would be unthinkable, even if she loved you, which $he doesn't.” I was watching him narrowly. Most modern young men would have betrayed a touch of chagrined van- ity at this information, even though it meant releasé from an unwelcome troth. But there was nothing save ecstatic relief in Noel Veritzen's eye: “Oh, Mrs, How “How do I know?" I finished, smiling as he stopped abruptly. “You might employ those overworked words ‘feminine intuition,’ for want of anything belter. She not. only doesn't love you—although no doubt she is firmly convinced just now that she cannot live without you—but she really is in love with the young man whom you know as George Jackson.” His face shadowed at that name, and the relief it had mirrored was tinged with bewilderment, “He is also masquerading?” he asked, adding with quick, apprehen- sion. “Who is he then? T told him, and he repeated the other's name and title slowly. “Prince Georges, nephew of the King of Trees.” Then with quick ficrceness. “Does Mary know?"” “Yes, Mary knows,” I answered, understanding the fear which had sprung into his eyes, the dread that his beloved would be dazzled by the young prince’s rank and romantic setting. I was trying to plan the best way of obeying Lillian's man- date and telling him of M gagement, when a lilting voice which held a note of panic sounded from the veranda outside: “Oh! nof here, Georges! 1 didn't know we \Wre coming here.” (Continued Tomorrow.)

Last season everyhody looked like everybody else, morning, afternoon, 3 ing. This spring a smart woman .not only never looks like anyone else, but she doesnt’ look like her own morning self in the afternoon or like her afternoon sclf in the eve- ning. The stupendous diversity In styles the clean lines of demarcation be- tween apparel for different hours of the day and the artistic femininity of original fabrics and fashions make I’alm Beach the most stimu- lating place in the world for onc with & fashion cyc. And of course we must remeynber that Palm Beach mere)y leads the fashion parade that later appears from coast to coast. Lady-Frock Holds Stage 1 suppose I note most of all the eminence of the lady-frock for aft- ernoon. There are so many cute little ruffle tricks, ticred skirts, pan- els of decorative value, flaring slecve effects, tiny lace yokes, cuffs of exquisite daintiness and char ind so on that I am simply cn- ced. Figured chiffons, lace, fine erepes, | handkerchief linens, batiste and I'rench fabries of sheer quality all go into these afternoon frocks. Madeline McCarter, down for her | brother's wedding, /wears some de- lghtful models of this type. One day she had a dainty little Dresden ured chiffon with double skirt of accordian pleating, ecach tier loped in points. Around the battean neck there was a tiny scalloped ruf- fle of pleating and the very short MRS, 8. H. DUPONT. MRS. MARY 8. DORTON, sleeve had a similar trim.
