Occasional KEAD THIS FIRST: Camilla Hoyt, young and beautiful. falls in love with Refer Anton, fel low student in an art tchool. She is the adopted daughter of a wealthy family, and he la a poor, struggling sculptor. On their first date Veter spends most of his money to show Camilla a pood time, and then decide» he must give her up because he can not stand the financial pace. A chance meeting, houeter, paves the way tor another date. This time they walk in the park. (A : OW GO OS WITH THE STORY) CHAPTER* t “YOU THINK 1 era going to art school for th* novelty of having something to do.’’ Camilla began, as they walked through the park, "and that I haven’t a serious thought in my head. Vou think 1 am a girl with a fortune and not an Idea of earn ing a penny of my own. Thafa the girl you think I am. But you're wrong. My classes at Naiional are only a part of my training to be come a commercial artist That means 1 want to work, and have to work. I'm not dabbling with art for w pastime, as you have been think ing. What’s more. I'm not even planning for a distant future with the possibility of success as a famous artist who creates beautiful and last ing things. 1 intend to commercialize whatever talent 1 have Just as soon as possible. Covers for magazines that will be glanced at ind tossed aside. Illustrations for stories that will be read and forgotten, fashions that are whims for a day. glaring advertisement* for linoleum, tooth paste and whatnot. In fact. I’ll do anything 1 have a chance to Cry. Now you know." She stopped abruptly and the soft silence of the night closed in about them. Isolating them. Finally Peter said. “Know what? I'm glad to know that you are am bitious to do something for your self. and all that, but what's that got to de with—with my forgetting you and your being blue?” “Because I'm Just a poor tittle rich girl who has to earn ray own living after the drat of September, next.’’ Peter was puzzled. "But you are the Hoyt girl, aren't you? 1 supposed you were only dabbling in art for amusement. Are you realty serious?" “Just as serious as my situation. I really am a little frightened. Mr. Anson —about earning my living. I mean. Sometimes I get to wondering bow I could be of any service that would be worth money to people." “But your fortune—" “1 have no fortune. And my name is not Hoyt, ready.” He shook his head In bewilderment “I'm still floundering." ”1 don't mind telling you all about It. if you still care to Hsten." "I'm very anxious to know." Camilla turned on the bench, fac ing him. and began earnestly, like a child reciting a Story. "To begin at the beginning. 1 am one of a family of nine children—the middle one. My real name Is l»renz But 1 didn't know that until three years ago. when I had been riding In the rlouds for fourteen years and sud denly had to come down to earth in a parachute. 1 almost got tangled up In the strings and things, but I dually landed feet first and looked around to see where I was. It wasn't such a beautiful place as I had left, either." “But how did you get up In the =louds in th# first place?" Peter In terrupted. aroused with her quaint mgtaphor. "Oh. yes. I’m getting ahead of my itory. I went up when I was four years old. It was this way. My people had come to America before I was born, and they hadn't done so well here at that tlm*. It seems. Anyway, once when I was tour years old. a volunteer social relief worker came to our house to tell mother bow to put more water In the soup kettle mo that she could feed nine mouths with half rations Os course, my mother having lived In southern Kuropa, where many of tbs people Marriages And Divorces Are On Decline In U.

Anyway. It seems that 1 was quite a pfietty child—in fact, a beautiful child —" "1 don’t doubt that," he Interrupted again. Camllljt dismissed that with a ges ture of Impatience. " —and th# rich lady who had no children of her own was so captivated by me that she came to see us again and wanted to take mo home The attraction was mutual. I liked the grand lady and wanted to go home with her when she suggested lb My parents objected at first, but she finally per suaded them to agree It was my mother who did the objecting, it be ing my father’s policy that there were plenty more where I came from and he already had more mouths than he could feed, anyway. Mrs. Hoyt was to sdopt me until 1 be came of age. She promised to do everything for me that money could do: private schools, social advan tages. travel and special education. I would be her daughter until 1 was twenty-one. Then I should decide for myself what I wished to do. But I would not be an heir to the Hoyt estate." "But why not?" asked Peter. "Adopted children usually Inherit es tates from foeter parents, especially if they have no direct heirs.” Camilla gestured with the elo quence of her laitin heritage. "Don’t ask me riddles. Why does a fish swim? Who knows? Tills was some whim of an idea, no doubt. Perhaps they feared 1 should waste my in heritance on my large family, or they would take it away from me.

I don’t know why I should tell yota, Mr. Anson —" “I do," he declared vehemently. "Because I’ve been wanting terribly to know you ever since the first time 1 say you—but I didn't dare to presume to a friendship with Miss Hoyt. I can be a friend to Camille Lorenz" “Why do you say that?” shs asked with surprise. "Because I am only Peter Anson, struggling for my degrees and pos sibly a scholarship with a year in Paris, and not a dollar In the world to bock me.” A little groan of horror escaped her. "And I let you spend all that money on me the other night!" her voice almost sobbed. He laughed shortly. "That was rather a Btr&ln. But I’ll manege." cheerfully. "Did you think I was heir to J. P.
