Breach There was irritation in Dicky's voloe as he asked me it I had thought better of my promise to an- swer ‘his camoufiaged but deter- mined that I give up my work with Philip Veritzen. Long ex- perience of the vagaries of his tem- per told, me that I could no longer Mme the fray into which his challenge had thrust me. “No,” I said quictly. *I am ready to answer you. I will give up my work with Philip Veritzen if you will dissolve your partnership with Edith Fairfax." 1t 1 suddenly had risen up and struck him in the face, I do not think I could have surprised him more thoroughly or more unpleas- antly. For a second he fairly gog- gled at me then the blood rushed to his: face, and his voice was a anarl. “Let's hear that again.” 1 repeated the words slowly, keep- ing my voice softly modulated, knowing full well that my hest weapon against Dicky was calmness and apparent indifference. He stepped back a space, and I saw his fingers clench into his palms. “8o, that's your game, is it?” he said at last, the words jerking from his lips like revolver shots. “It's worthy of you. Making a conditiun like that which you know will do a poor girl out of a livelihood.” 1 put up my hand languidly. “Do spare me the heroics, Dicky,” 1 said. “Doing Edith out of a liveli- hood does not enter into the thing at all. T am not asking you to turn Edith out into the snow. In fact she probably would profit financi- ally by the action, if you withdrew from the magazine. You often have told mo that it was her business ability which had built it up.” Dicky Refuscs “And T spoke only the truth.” Dicky snapped back. “But my name means something to the thing, too. Besides, it would involve giving up a nice little slice out of my income. But, of course, that doesn't affect you.” His voice was heavily sarcastic, but I.ignored it. “Really, I haven't considered it,” 1 drawled. “And you must remem- ber that T haven't asked anything of you. I simply have told you the conditions upon which I will give up my work."” “Because you blame well know it's. one which T can't meet—and ‘wouldn't if 1 could,” Dicky retorted, his lips stiff with anger. “You never Mmeant me to meet it, what's more. It's just another of your ways of mu-v su«mw-- dodging a straight question and salving that New. England con- acience of yours. Well! it serves me right for thinking—oh! what's the He threw out his hands with a curious little gesture of finality and turned away, walking swiftly toward the house. For an instant the little traitor within my soul urged me to call him back, for I was not par- ticularly proud of the ultimatum T had given him. Then the remem- brance of the scorn and the incom- prehension with which he had met my proposal stiffened my spine. After all, there was something in Mrs. Ticer's homely proverb con- cerning the fitness of serving the same sauce to goose and gander. Empty Victory But I felt like anything but a vic- torious combatant—though I knew that Dicky would be chary of again bringing up the subject—as I too rose and made my way to the house. My reason, my common sense, even my self-respect told me that I had made the only answer possible to my husband’s demand, but—I suddenly had the fantastic wish that Dicky and I with our boy could be trans- ported to some place away from the highly organized civilization of which we were a part, a place where Dicky must work with his hands for our support, where I must also labor to keep my house in order and my family clothed and fed, and where there would be no disturbing in- fluence like noted theatrical pro- ducers and feminine efficiency ex- perts. The mental picture of fastidious Dicky as a laborer was what I need- ed to restore my mental equilibrium, for it gave me a laugh. When I had stopped smiling, my mental and emotional gears had meshed, and I was ready once more to face the “good of things as they are.” Dicky was nowhere to be seen as I passed through the lower floor of the farmhouse. I guessed that he had gone directly to his own room and that I would see little more of him Dbefore we went to the city. Aside from the relief of avoiding further discussion with him, I was gratified at this state of things, for I had a task before me which called for unruffled nerves. I had been putting it off in cowardly fashion but when I saw Dicky's mother coming toward me in the upper hall, I know that I could postpone it no longer. “Margaret!" she said peremptor- ily. “Come into my room. I want to talk to you.” (Continued Tomorrow) Copyright. 1929, Newspaper Feature Scrvice, Ine. WELCOME ROBIN BUMPS HIS HEAD By Thornton W. Burgess Who wrong of others always thinks From self-examination shrinks. =Old Mother Nature Welcome Robin was losing his appetite. He could think of nothing but that stranger he had scen sev- eral times. This strange Robin had & eurious way of appearing and dissppearing, and Welcome Robin was #0 jealous that he had -nade up his mind that the next time that stranger appeared he should be taught a lesson he never would for- get. Welcome zat close by the nest that Mrs. Robin was building and waited and waited and waited. And while he waited his impatience and hisanger grew. But he waited in vain. Not a glimpse of that stranger did he get. “Its your imagination,” declared Mrs. Robin, as she continued the work of building the nest. “There's no imagination about it,” retorted Welcome Robin. “I've seen that fellow as plainly as I see you.” “Then where is he now?” asked Mra. Robin, who was bcginning to lose patience. “I don’t know.” replied Welcome. “I don’t know. I wish I did. If 1 knew where he was I wouldn't be sitting here, waiting. T would drive that fellow =o far that never come back. what I would do.” “Huh!” exclaimed Mrs. Robin, and went for some more material.

There isn't a stranger around here, and there hasn't been.” “Then how did T get such a blow {on the head?" demanded Welcome. [“Tell me that, if you please.

When her own children were born she told them tales in native dialect. Later she began writing them dow: iting America a few years ago, after living abroad for years, she saw with dismay the changes that the Bouth was undergoing. Old Negro Is Passing “Modern civilization has set an artificial Harlem standard every- where and it is destroying all t natural vividness of the old negroes, Miss Newman said. ‘They have a real contribution to make to America and the machine age. There is a peace in their souls, & philosophy of life in their hearts and a spirit and vivid beauty in their existence that should be pre- served. If moderns only realized it, those old-time negroes could even give them a lot of valuable ideas about the education of the youns.” Miss Newman's negro tales not only appealed here and in Eng- land, but have been translated into French and German, proving her argument that the negro is story-teller that all Realizing the eye-mindedness of this age, Miss Newman started to paint darkies to illustrate her sto- ries. 8o vivid, pieturesque and amus- ingly natural were her things that they were called “spirituals in wa- ter colors,”” were exhibited in Paris and Vienna and brought her the Palm Academique from the French government. The latest medium brought in- to use by Miss Newman to portray her favorite subject is tiny dolls. She has made dozens of them, none higher than a foot, all dif- ferent characters that show the graduations of yellow in different types, the different characteristics of dress in the different sections of the South and different genera- tions. Her collection of dolls was made for the New Orleans mu- seum, but has proved so authentic in detail and so popular with chil- dren who have seen them that other museums have asked for duplicates. Writes Falry Stories In addition to all these avenues of appeal that Miss Newman has opened up, she has published a charming .bookx on flowers In which she in:orporates the fairy stories that her old negro mam- my told her about the little beings that lived in the violets, daffodils other flowers around her home. Listen one of her “planting,"” one of the to Isadora Newman tell stories—say, about the meaning burial, of brethren or the wed- din’ where the bridegroom didn't show up, and hearty lgughter breaks out spontaneously. Hear her tell a sad story, tears come as easily. For Miss Newman is as fine an artist at story telling as she is at writing and painting. So, by writing, painting, story telling and fashioning dolls, this daughter of the South is paying. with com- pound -interest, the debt that made her childhood so0 gay. so happy, and so meaningful.
