The present" Theresa had promised Jerry proves to be her picture, The Ocean Rider. Continued 9 How should I know? She didnt tell me. She should have told me! Prudence would know, was all Jerry could say to that. Mimi lay rigid among the cushions, twisting her hands into painful knots, cutting her flesh with the gaudy stones. Jerry looked at her the lavish toss of the henliaed hair, the carefully ivoried skin with its layers of cream and rouge, the voluptuous figure with its molding of fine French stays.

Jerry stayed with Mimi in the house on Reillys alley until after the funeral Theresas funeral when, groups of ber brilliant, wondering friends crowded into the little flower-filleroom at Miettas to do last honor to her tragic memory, and went away again, afterward, slowly, talking it over, agreeing that after all, in a way, it seemed rather a congruous thing, that such a one as Theresa, divinely driven, should flash like a meteor across a starry sky to fade at once in a final, dominant flash at the height ,'of her brilliance, rather than fade away, as ruuuy do, into a dull and doddering - Sown, out d mediocrity.
