Living In the same house with her, and In a house that Incidentally furnished eo exquisite a setting for any friendship, began to seem like a scene in a play. She was always playing some part; It amused him to play an answering part of hla own. lie had never deceived Ellen. He was merely playing a vague little game that she would not have appreciated at Its Innocent worth, and tlmt might stop at any moment, leaving no one (he worse. Ellen hnd her own reserves, too, tiny secret from Gibbs that worried her to an extent that she knew herself was entirely disproportionate. George Lnthrnp had taken the liberty of an old friend, and had advised her not to make her father-in-law- s house her permanent home. ' He had done It kindly. In the most brotherly manner, and without making It particularly emphatic, yet his earnestness had made Ellen vaguely uneasy, and she had not been quite happy since. George had spoken on a certain beautiful May evening, when Ellen and Tommy, who had spent the day with her family In Port Washington, bad come down to Snnds Point late In the afternoon to see Harriet. Reaching home a little earlier than usual. George came upon them at tea. Tommy was riding about the garden on a golf stick, Ellen and Harriet were on the porch. Go telephone Lillian that Im going to drtve Ellen and Tommy home, George said to his daughter, and put on a coat, baby, and come, too! Oh, now thats a lot of trouble! Ellen protested. But the man. sipping his tea Indifferently, merely smiled, and Harriet delightedly can off to silk-cla- obey him. Youre going to be with the Josse-lynall summer?" he ssked, after a g silence. I suppose so, Ellen answered. Gibbs father idolizes Tommy. Theyre wonderfully kind about wanting ns, and they wont let us mention any oth- er arrangement." "Well, you Interrupted.

"Then you'd he ashamed of the loitl-me- r if you were any relation to them, huhyf her father asked, with a sidewise grin. She laughed, flushed, sad squeezed his arm In great felicity, "Daddy, youre horrible!" she told him. And she added demurely: "Tou like Joe, don't you?" "Who sjsike of Joe?" her father sslieil Innocently. llut Joe who? Harriet would not permit this duplle-ity- . She told him vivaciously thnt Joe was to come down to luncheon on and they were to try the tennis.

There were lilacs s In the village, doors and were open, bareheaded women chatted over garden gates. All the country sounds were set free again, voices and the barking of dogs, and the honk of motor horns. A hundred little boats rode the satiny waters of Munnnsoet bay; old Captain Latimer, suunterlng home, lifted hla disreputable old hat to Joe's friends from the Point. "I never was glad G.at Phi going to he rich before, Harriet said softly after awhile. It didnt make me happier at school, and It never has seemed to count very much since.
