Gay linked her arm through his. Figures moved ahead of them, climbing the slope, pulling the toboggan. Other figures were dark against the fire blazing at the edge of the lake.

(TO HE COMIM'FO) Current Building Trend Is Toward Small Home There is every indication today that the swing toward the smaller, less expensive home is a permanent one, says the Plumbing and Heating Industries bureau. The preference today is for the compact type of servantless heuse, even among the income group which In former years built larger houses. Paralleling the trend toward the small house incorporating the maximum compactness and convenience in its design and furnish. .ogs, is the steady progress made by the plumbing and heating industries in the defeatures. velopment of Radiators have been redesigned in modern slenderized lines and have lost 40 per cent of their bulk and size in the reducing process. Due to its handsome streamlined design, the new radiator looks smaller. The factors have made it possible for heatmg contractors to de- r heating sign steam or all with essential parts such plants as radiators, boilers, and piping, considerably smaller than the sizes it was formerly necessary to use. The advent of insulation, for Instance, has decreased the heat.ng load so that a smaller heating plant will do the work.

"When we talked in Dad's study, you were thinking of your work. "Yes, he admitted, disconcerted by her penetration. You are afraid for your work. She waited and then went on. "Dont you know Ill never Interfere with that, that it will be my pleasure to help you? Not that I am a noble and character but," her voice faltered. "But because I love you." I love you. He caught her to him. Their lips met. But though she clung to him, though her cheek, cold and wet with snow, lay against his and she whispered soft endearments, he felt something lacking in the embrace. Each misunderstanding, each prolonged explanation blunted a little the sharp ecstasy they had felt at the cabin, when their lips met, when, her cheek against his she whispered soft endearments. She drew away from him and he made no effort to hold her. They walked on, breaking a path through the grove, closer now, but not united. When they spoke their voices were gentle, their glances meeting, separating, questioned but received no answer. They came out of the grove into the open again. Thats the Janeway place." John looked across the sloping expanse of snow to the white stone house which stood on a rise overlooking a senes of terraces which descended to a small irregular lake "Not the Italian villa, he said.

"It's like a Maine saow, John said, as Gay became silent. "Yes, isnt it? she said brightly. Dry and like powder. We don't often have them like this. "Do you ski near here? Why wouldn't she look at him? Her arm, linked through his, was unresponsive beneath the thick fur coat sleeve. When he glanced sidewise and down, he saw only tendrils of hair curling out under her cap, the curving line of her cheek In fur. He had thought that here, alone, out of doors, he would find her again, but she had ignored or deliberately misinterpreted his diffident attempts to effect a reconciliation so that he no longer made an effort to break through the brittle gaiety of her mood.
