SYNOPSIS . . . Ellen Church, 17
years old, finds herself alone in the
world with her arti*t mother' last
warning ringing in her ears, to
"love lightly." Of the world she
knew little. Vli her life she had liv-
ed alone with her mother in an old
brown house in a small rural com-
munity. . . . Ellen, alone, turned to
the only contact she knew, an art
agent in Ni-w York. 1'osing, years
of posing, was her talent so she
was introduced to two leading ar-
artints. Dick Alvcn and Sandy Mac-
intosh. Both used hec as a model
and both f«*11 in love with her . . .
but Ellen, trying to follow the
warped philosophy <>f her mother tn
"love liirhtly." resists th< thought
of love. Her circle <>f friend is
small, artist and two or three girl
models. Ellen attends a ball with
Sandy. While dancing a tall young
man claimed her and romance is
born. A ride in tin- park, proposal,
the nt-\t day merirage to Tony, and
wealth But she'd "Love Lightly,"
Ellen told herself. She would never
let him know how desperately she
loved him. even though sh> were
his wife. Kllen insists upon living
her own life, maintaining her home
in her small room, even though
Tony is wealthy lane, of
Tony's wealthy set, is disappointed
in Tony's sudden marriage to Kl-
len. Jane then makes every effort
to win Tony nway from Ellen. Now
g-o «in with the story:
And speaking of Jane but they
didn't speak of her! Nor of her
comments so profoundly true.
They didn't *p« ak of Ihck either.

that Dick filled, was a sealed letter

to remember. Jane was a phantom
that slept. So was Dick. So, for
that matter, was their own love.
The evenings went on, and the
drives, and the dinners. But there
were certain barriers that they nev-
er crossed. Tony never came up to
Ellen's room. He always met her
ut the curb, he always waited there
in his red roadster. He always left
her at the front door, with a brief
and hurried word of good-night,
And they never danced together,
either. Ellen knew that she couldn't
keep up this friendship pretense of
his arms were around her and his
body was close against her body.
It was the short dance, at the
house party, that had—she w \s
sure precipitated their last flare
up of passion. Days went on.
l'hey w re beginning to learn some-
thing about each other, these two.
Kllen had come to realize that To-
ny was not, for all of his inherited
income, one of the idle rich. She
learn-il that his money, invested
in the stocks that his father made
worth while, was administered in
the broker's office in which he was
a junior party. It wasn't only his
own money that he cared for, eith-
er his responsibilities were not
sm ill, when one considered his age.
He rather liked business, Tony told
her once.
"I guess I inherited that liking
from my father," he said simply.
Tony's eyes surveyed her for a
moment, keenly. It was as if he
were weighing this matter of cause
and effect.
"Your mother was an artist,
wasn't she?" he said, at last.
"Yes." said Kllen, "she was.
That's how 1 got started in this
business of posing, you know. .My
mother and I lived quite by our-
selve in the country, where there
w, iv not models, and so I had to
pose foi her constantly."
"Poor little kid," said Tony,
"didn't you ever play?" His voice
«as gentle.
"Don't be sorry for me," said Kl-
len. and she spoke a little harshly

If Tony wanted to speak out of
turn he suppressed that desire. In-
stead he asked another question.
"Did you ever think, Ellen," he
said, "at any time, that you were
in love with anyone " he faltered,
"anyone?"
It was the first personal note
that Tony had struck since Jane's
party, and before «he could turn to
subterfuge Ellen found that she
was shaking her head in denial.
The days, the weeks, crept on.
Dinner with Tony every night. . . .
Kllen was in a strange drifting
slate. She wasn't interested in any-
thing except the moment that
brought Tony to her door. When

she woke in the morning it was
just a question of how many hours
it would be before a red roadster
stood at the curb with its horn
sounding a summons!
And yet as the days went on, it
grew increasingly hard to break
tht barrier between herself and the
man who was her husband. It be-
lian to be forced into her mind
that Tony would never again be the
aggressor. He'd said—on that first
morning when he left her—that he
didn't want half-portion love, that
he wanted it to be real, and Ellen
was beginning to understand that
he wouldn't attempt to create the
reality himself, that she'd have to
do it! And if she did it, it would
mean putting herself forever in his
pouter- -and in love's power and
in life's power. It would mean that
she would have to let him see that
she couldn't get along without him.
It would mean that he'd have the
opportunity of hurting her.
When the dinners and drivi s
with Tony began, she had felt a
sense of radiance and physical well-
being and peace. She had felt that
everything would adjust itself, in
natural way. Her assurance had
even been visible to Dick -to San-
dy. She had looked "swell!" But it
wasn't visible any more. Perhaps
it was the mental strain that made
her feel so fagged- that made
keeping up such an effort.
"I wish," she said suddenly one
day as she knelt in front of Dick,
"that you'd let me rest for a min-
ute, old thing. I'm sunk."
Dick hadn't regarded her as a
human beinjf since he had reached
the home stretch of his mural, but
now he dropped his brushes with
a swift little exclamation of pity-
ing surprise.
"Why, Kllen child," he exclaim-
ed, "I've never known you to say
anything like that before!"
Kllen relaxed into a little hud-
dled heap of white buckskins anil
beads.
"I |,jess it's old age sneaking tip
on me," she told Dick. "But hon-
estly, I never have felt so tired, in
my life, as I have lately."
Dick was wiping his hands on a
paint rag.
"You worry me, Kllen," he said.
"I'm afraid you're doing too much,
or something." He was putting
away his brushes and he looked
oddly relieved when the door open-
ed and Claire came into the room.
Kllen hadn't seen Claire very of-
ten since the night of her wedding
party she hadn't even thought of
Claire for that matter!
"1 saw your hated rival today,
the dark girl, you know!" said
Claire. "The one that Tony gave
the handsome pair of silver plated
«ates to. Or should say seemed to
K¡vc them to!"
Kllen sighed, but she didn t make
any attempt to get up from her
relaxed position on thte floor.
"You mean Jane," she said, while
Dick looked helplessly from her
face to Claire's.
Claire went on.
"1 was in Wall Street," she said.
"I've been doing a little bucket
shopping of late. Trust me to pick
the best time in fifty years to do
my investing early! I saw Jane
walking along in front of me. She
had the smug look of a woman
who's on her way to meet some
other woman's husband. I didn't
speak to her, though she was alone.
Ask me why?"
Kllen pressed her hands wearily
against her forehead. Wall Street!
Did that really mean that Jane had
been going to Tony's office, she
wondered
Dick wa:< still watching her odd-
ly as she went around the screen.
"1 don't think she's well," he
mumbled to Claire.
"She's in love," said Claire,
"that'i all. l-ove saps a person.
And makes a sap of a person, too,
for that matter."
And so it was that Claire took
Kllen home. But she couldn't e\
plain, even t> herself, why shr put
her arm around KUen's shoulders.
"Dick's worried about you, Kl-
len," she said, "and so am I, believe
It or not. You aren't acting quite
normal, you know. Are you feeling
blah? We're for you. kid, you know
all of us. Don't let that Jane iret
away with anything you really
want!"
Kllen tried to laugh, but her
voice was a little shaky.
Don't you worry about me,
Claire," she said. "I know you
think I haven't much sense. But I
can take care of myself. 1 can
her voice was the more v hement
because tears lay behind it, "take
rare of myself! And of tny own
property "
Claire's hand, patting KUen's
was unexpectedly tender.
"I I wonder," she said.

annual meeting, as President of
the National Student Congress. So
he hopped in his plane and set it
down here three hours later.
in silence. Through the early even-
ing traffic, out over a bridge that
led to Long Island. Tony's brown
hands clutched the wheel harder
than was quite necessary, and his
jaw line was harder than neces-
sary, too. Finally he spoke.
They drove through fifteen more
minutes of silence- one care in a
long line of cars. Then Tony spoke.
"I've thought, lately," he said,
"that we wt re getting together in
rather a nice way, you ami I, Ellen
that we were getting to be
friends! There've been times when
I've thought the day was coming
when I'd take another chance—
when I'd ask you again to be—
something more than a friend. But
I'm wondering, now, if I've ever
been right, about anything! Tell
me, have you ever really considered
whether you'd like a divorce—I
told you, the first night we met,
that I'd admit I was licked and
give you one, if I felt thai 1 wasn't
getting anywhere with you. You
told me, at Jane's house party, that
there could be an annulment any
time. Maybe one of us was right.
Maybe we were both right--"
Ellen's hands were press, d
against her breast. Under them she
could feel the thumping of her
heart. Claire had called it. Surely,
it was Jane. It must be Jane. Else
why was Tony mentioning divorce
and annulment at this time?
"I'll always think," she said, at
any decision you make." And that
was that. . . .
The orchestra was thumping out
a summons. Tony gave his order
briely to a waiter ami then he was
rising and holding out his arms.
"You haven't danced with me,"
he said, "since the night at Jane's
party. And that was only a a
sample. Let's have a dance togeth-
er now, while we're waiting for our
dinner."
Ellen rose reluctantly.
"You're making a Tommy Tuck-
er out of me," she said, "making
me dance for my supper!" But she
meltetd into his arms, and they
whirled away. ¿ ,
It wasn't a waits, this time. It
was a barbaric, staccato measure to
which they danced. It was passion-
ate and bold and full of effrontery,
that music; it caught them up into
a strange, savage world. Pillen
could feel the heat of jungles clos-
ing in about her, and the drowsi-
ness of Strang., unnatural fl avers.
I She was glad when the music
| stopped on a high, quaveiing note,
when Tony led her back to their
i table. She was glad that the food
he had ordered was workingman's
food steak and succotash and things
like that. She needed something
commonplace.
"You said, once." she remarked
over the steak and succotash, "that
I was a good cook, Tony. And you
said it when you'd only eaten one
of my fried egg sandwiches. I'd
like to have you to dinner, once -
to a dinner that I'd cooked my-
self."

"Is this an invitation?" he said.
"Or are you just having fun?"
Ellen's lip quivered.
They drove away from the inn,
at last, through an amethyst after-
glow.
"Somehow, this light," she said
to Tony, "makes me remember the
place where I lived before I came
to the city. It's an old brown house
set back of the loveliest flowers
that you ever saw—my mother
planted the flowers herself. Now
that my mother's gone, Tony, it be-

Claire didn't leave Kllen nlone
upon the doorstep. She took her
upstairs nnd helped her into a soft
kimmy, and made her lie down.
And then, mercifully, Claire went
away.
It was an hour before she rose
from the couch and, with her mind
still jumbled and groping through
the mases of a new jealousy,
stumbled into the bathroom nnd
took her shower.
As she di ood straight and white
under the shower, Ellen found that
she was crying bitterly.
And yet, despite the tears, when
the horn of Tony's roadster sound-
ed in front of her house, Ellen was
able to come down and meet him
with a smile on her lips, and with
her eyes as apparently fresh «s was
the little organdy frock that she
wore.
