She ha<) made the co incidence seem casual enough. And her interest in art had solicited her uOclt-'s unqualified approval from the b—inntn*. His own sons and only daughter had evinced none of his esthetic appreciation, which was one of the few disappointments of his Uds So. when his niece not only MKrontzed the profession but actu ally won her degree at National, he was immensely proud, and sympa thetic with her plans and Interests. So generous was his measure of approval that he had purchased one *f her best paintings and hung It in vji library, though he had to admit •o himself that she couldn't have sold K elsewhere for a song. Hut he ad vocated that praise stimulates effort feud encourages ambition. He was particularly noted for hia philanthropy to talent, and not a small part of the Paris scholarship fund was responsible to his gener osity: but he never |>ermitted his left hand to suspect what kept his right band so busy. "The judges have no easy task, 1 own tell you th.it," he confided to Avis at the exhibit. "It was difficult •ven to eliminate the entries." "Do only beauty and perfection of detail enter into the consideration" ; she asked, seriously. "Oh. no, there are many point* to hs considered " "Such as- " "Subject matter, position, execution of material - " *T>oes the thought In hiud the oh- ! Ject —the reason for the creation.

There was no question about entering it, I recall. Vndoubtedlv. it is one of the best. J But there are so manv among the best ." "Hut what other one tells so poc'n ant a story of life?" she insisted.! “There is the seagull - beautiful, hut —just a seagull, a splendid likeness of Andrew Havelock after all. just the portrait of a man: those nude! figures titled ’l.ove.’ about which i there is nothing individual: the hoy! on a hill in a storm, the modernistic! conception ot The Kiss*- hut who • would want a kiss like that?" she . ■nitled “1 suspect.” he looked at her | shrewdly, "that you are campaigning l for & vote for that young man of yours." "Only because he deserves it," Avis I defended "1 don't doubt that." he agrted. I readily. “Well, my dear, if it will re- i Heve your anxiety and you will keep! the secret to yourself, he already had my vote from the lieginning. I might i wry that my opinion could have wav - ered between that and the Havelock portrait, but since there had to tv some dividing factor, your interest in Peter Anson might as well lie it I see nothing unethical about that.! It .s merely a matter of matching points, and. as you say. the vision | and the story behind that group of! Immigrants should t>e favored. Cut ! don't hope too much.

Negotiations were tieing made with a national radio network to broadcast a Tiny Tot series for a children’s half-hour pro gram. fousul tat ions, plans, discus sions. were in order. I I’aniilla waa the central figure. Her brain whirled with the exhilaration of so much attention and approba tion, even while it functioned calmly and clearly with the execution of her plans. | Finally, it was decided that she should prepare the stories, being the only person funuliar with the char acteristics and activities of her di minutive people. Her salary would i>e doubted and an additional sum paid for each story. These would be comparatively easy for her to pro duce. because they would follow the ; same action as appeared in the ad vertisements. The work would in i volve only a little more time, which! | she could now spare from her draw-! , ing board, and her remuneration would be doubled thereby. Then, the most astonishing devcl ! opment of all was presented to her. The radio manager insisted that the obvious person to present tlie Tiny Tots, by air, to her juvenile audi ! cnee, was the author herself, Camilla I Anson. Camilla protested, overwhelmed by (he possibility. "Hut 1 can't do' everything.” she objected, bewildered. , "How can I do ad copy, write inanu j scripts and broadcast two days each week ?'* "It is a pretty large order, but you can do it," the advertising manager encouraged. "You will have a secre tary to attend to everything except I your moat personal work, and the | broadcasting After the first few ex | periencoa will become very natural jto you.

"None of It would Ive any good at all. without you. And If you don’t want me to do it—l won’t.” “You mean that?" incredulous. She met his eyes bravely.

He tried valiantly to shake It off, hut its hold : was tenacious. He sank into a chair, listlessly.
