•Os course not." he hastened to
assure her. "What could be more
pleasant than a friend for a neigh

me very sociable. I’m so busy these
lUva I can’t find time to eat. 1 *
"Working on your piece for the
exhibit.” Avis observed with an eager
concern. "How does it go? l*m dy

He ignored that. "But why the
outlay?” ho Indicated her spacious
studio apartment.
She affected a pouting expression.
"Is that nice of you? Can’t I take
art seriously as well as anyone? I
took this place because 1 never can
accomplish anything at hornet.
Oceans of room, but no one will take
rc.i seriously or respect my privacy,
so I came here to work. As for being
sociable. I shan't trouble you because

there! Only.” her eyes were lowered
for a moment and then met his wist
fully. "here's an idea—thens la one
say »e both might save some time.
I am going to have a maid for morn
ings and you cun run In here for a
cite of breakfast or lunch, often.
That will save some of your precious
time that you can’t spare to look
up a restaurant." Her tone was prac
t.vdi and casual, as If she were re
adjusting the computation of time
by the calendar and • lock, to accom
c.cdate him. and yet doing nothing
unusual.
He laughed tolerantly. “I’m afraid
it wouldn't work out that way. We d
get to talking and taka two hours
out Instead of a few minutes.
Thanks, though, for your neighborly
thoughtfulness." He waa unlocking
bis door, but Avis made no move

pushed his door open and she saun-

he never talk nor think of anything
except Camilla and work? She
feigned an Incredulous surprise at
his remark. “I should think nothing
would take the first place from a
husband." She shrugged. "But. then
all people aren’t alike. Cove and mar
riage mean so little to soma girls No
wonder men can’t understand them.
They don’t all know that a man
needs lots of love and sympathy and
comforting to make him happy and
keep him so." she observed wisely
and with a tone of .-egret for all rhe
wrecked marriages of such negligent
wives
"What do you know about It?*’
Peter only seemed to be amused. He
did not attempt to defend Camilla
“Some women are wives' by In
stinct. They don't have to te mar
ried to understand men," she still
maintained that sober. Impersonal air
of rare wisdom. Then she roused
suddenly and said brightly. “But you
haven’t seen my place. It is Just fin
ished and I'm rather proud of It.”
modestly. “Please tell me if It looks
right." She had caught his hand as
if to lead him across the hall.
Peter drew away. "I’m sorry. I’ll
have to endure the suspense of wait
ing until later to see your place.
My mode) will be here any minute
and I’vo got to get to work. I told
you I can’t be a good neighbor,
even.”
“Then do come over this evening."
she urged hospitably. “Any time you
tave a minute to relax, drop in. You
can’t work every minute.”
”Hut I might Interrupt your work.
I thought you came here for seclu
sion.” he reminded her.
Avia lifted her hands eloquently.
“One hour every day without an in
terruption would seem like a century
to- me. 1 can't go Into seclusion all
of a sudden. Besides, even if I do
want to work. 1 can't take It that
seriously I expect to throw a lot of
parties— studio stuff, you know. I’m
giving a housewarming soon and you
will have to take timo out to be

Camilla." she added as an sfter
thought.
There were footsteps outside, tap
tapping on the stairs nnd along the
hail, and presently Sylvia stood In
the doorway. "Hello." aba aaJd briefly.

“That’s nice.” observed Sylvia.
“I don’t know that It la ao nice.”
he contradicted. “There la no worse
nuisanoa In the world for a aerloua
artist tfmn a make-believe one who
doean t have to work, but maintain*
a studio Just for effect apd a place to
entertain. It would be Juet my luck
to get such a neighbor when I am
the busiest. I’m afraid she’s going
to be a pest.”
“You don’t sound very craxy about
her." Sylvia ventured carelessly.
She e nothing to me.” Peter
shrugged. “I » A | d she was a friend.
She isn’t even that—merely a ac
quaintance. One of the class at Na
tional. It’s all the same to me if I
never see her again. Fact la I always
made It a point to stear clear of her
when I could. Now she lives across
the hall and suggests that I run In
to have tea with her." he grimaced.
Sylvia laughed with genuine
amusement, knowing more about the
situation than he was aware. Almost,
she was tempted tc. warn him of
Avis Intentions, for her sympathies
really were with Peter. But her
youthfully acquired sophistication
maintained that any man could taka
care of himself. The chances were
ninety-nine to one that any woman
got the worst of an affair with any
man. T his happened to tea rare case
in which she wished tho man luck,
chiefly because he was not the ag
gressor.
Peter's prognostications proved
correct about Avis becoming a nui
sance. It was only the second day
after their first meeting in the hall,
when be had made no attempt to
respond to her hospitable suggestion
to drop In any minute, that she
knocked on hia door about noon, and
to hia curt ’Come In." opened it
with a cheery. “Good morning neigh
bor. What? at work so early in the

—you are hungry. 1 just ran

She was gayly provocative and in
formal In scarlet satin pajamas em
-1 roidered with gold dragons and Ori
ental characters that no Oriental
ever would have recognized or de
ciphered. But they added their touch
of subtle charm and mystery. Her
long, narrowly plucked eyebrows
that slanted downward at her tem
ples contributed to that effect.
If one analyzed her features a*,
cording to relation and measurement.
Avis was not beautiful, but there
was a striking sophistication and al
lure about her that were a combina
tion of beauty culture, the confi
dence of wealth and a selfish as
sumption that whatever she desired
was hers. u
Peter rubbed the clay from bl*
fingers. Irresolutely.
