She liked their Mees Amelie; she had never been anything but sweet and gentle to her. and Yvonne, nearly marriageable now. was much improved by what Emilia had taught her. But after all . . . After all. it was a tristr life for an I F,ng!ish lady, especially one who was 1 gentle and lovely and looked eter [ i.ally a younp princess out of I’er i raut. After all. one was Sister Domi- I pique's god-daughter. So it was Sister Dominique who Stirred BiniWa again from the long years of featureless dream. I “My dear, you have made poor ' younp Alain very unhappy.” Hhe looked up »t the Sister, puz ! ailed. frightened. j “1 cannot marry him. Sister. 1 i can never marry anybody." | “There is no reason why you l should.’’ said the Sister, relieved | "But he must live here at the inn ( Tt is hard for him. And after all Miss Ame He.

The first discomfort that wa.< Emilia’s suhutitue for feeling stirrei a little. It might mean a change. “What shall I do?" site said lik< a child. Sister Dominique smiled down a her benignly. “Do ycu ronieinbe: Uelie A mould, the first year you wen here? . . . No. you wouldn’t. Shi left to be married.

Pro testant. but who perhaps might give Anais substantially the same curri culum, the same ideas of life, yaw understand? Bo it Is settled. You wffl go there.” Bhe looked at Sister Dominique ap pealingly. "It is lucky that we can place you in Earls,” said Sister Dominique with her usual kind firmness. “And after all it isn’t as if you were a religious. It win be gayer for you. There are lectures, picture galleries, libraries." Amiable, inexorable, she went on with the arrangements. Emilia found herself living on the third claim of the big. new Duplay house on the Boulevard Raspail, gov erness to a lively black-eyed nirte year-old. “She’ll always be mixed up with politicals.” Madame Duplay, slim, competent, hart!-surfaced, friendly, said. “So I trust you to see that she talks English without any accent I trust you, too. to keep her realizing that there is great beauty and com fort In the faith her father objects to.” Madame Duplay had her eves, even this far ahead, on a royalist marriage W’ith somebody of the old rock for her pert Anais. What she paid Emilia would not have lietn a large salary in America: It was so much more than the nuns had paid her that It seemed like riches. Quicksilver-restless, dark and sharp-witted like her Bearnaie Sather. Anais kept Emilia busy and interested. She interested her more than anything since America. Emilia took the child for walks, they went to the parks, to the shops, to Anais’ dancing class, to her lycee lectures; and slowly Emilia began to feel something stirring within her: a faint contact with actualities. She was in Paris once more. Not. of course, the war-f’aris she remem l,i red. This city that she walked slowly through, the little French child by her side, was a pleasant, unscarrcd place—on the surface at least-lighted, glittering. Nobody re ’U'-nihored. Tantet Elinc who died of paralysis and Oncle Jacques who died on the Marne were the same to little Anais; something to be per- I functorily polite about.
