She Was wondering if Jim had really forgiven her for her abrupt behavior on their last meet- ing. Lucille moved forward a low chair, right in the line of Shirley’s vision, but not too close to the fire, And Jim sat down. Lucille began her preparations for the tea. She moved about the studio rather noisily, keeping up a running fire of chatter, so that Jim and Shir- ley might have time to recover from the natural embarrassment and awk- wardness of this meeting. As she looked at the two happy, glowing fdces her thoughts involun- tarily turned to David Burke, still out in France, She was missing him, He had only written twice and had hot yet heard of Shirley's illness.

And her thoughts would naturally turn to Jim. “You mustn't bring my name the question,” insisted that y man.

To-day, as he sat. pipe in hand, waiting for the clock to strike the longed-for hour of four, he felt happier frame of mind than he had felt for a considerable time.

It all looked very fresh and dainty, the alfresco meal. There were coid chicken and a salad and some new French rolls, with a pat of gokien butter resting on a lettuce leaf, A bottle of ‘burgundy, too. And a big basket of freshly gathered straw- berries, with a jar of cream, Shir- ley's appetite revived. As they journeyed on by car sho felt pleasantly sleepy. After a time her eyes closed and she dozed a little, leaning back against the cush- ions Jim had arranged for her. . . It was the keen, delightful “tangy of the salt sca air which woke her Up at last. ‘ “We're almost at Brighton now!" said Jim, smiling into her eyes with a look in his own which told Shirley all she wished to know. She put a tentative hand u blowing curls, ‘Il feel so happy—so much bet- ter!" she said softly, her pretty face all aglow. They reached the Palace Pier at last, and here Jim stopped his car so that Shirley might get a view of the kuleidoscopic water-front, “How beautiful!" she cried. Before her lay a stretoh of glitter- ing sea, jade-green close in to shore, changing to amethyst and turquoise as the water gradually deepened, but sparkling in @ myriad evanescent shades. Immediately befow her was a clean sweep of pebbly beach, dotted with newly-painted boats and picturesgue brown fishing smacks. Away to the right, far as the eye could reach, it faded off into distant Shorcham- by-the-Sea, To the left, @ litle miniature rail- way ran along the shore until it reached the base of high, chalky cliffs, Its tiny trains—rickety wooden boxes, run by electricity—intrigued Miss Shirley vastly. Her eye wandered to the magn fi cent buildings ail along the front “How beautiful!” she said again, her glance returning to the dazzlinz expanse of water against which tie two white piers stood out in bold relief, An airship hovered overhead, flying quite low, so that she could see th faces of its crew. The crowds alony the front were craning their necks dizzily to get a proper w of it, and oheering. And from the Palace Pier came tho gay, syncopated music of a bund. | “This is the life!” cried Lucille gaily from the rear of the car, |"Bands — pierrots— pink teas—young jmen galore!” ‘They tooted merrily along Marino Parade and drew up at the exclu sive, “quiet” hotel which Jim had chosen for ‘them.
