fNOW GO ON WITH THE BTOTtY) ;
i
CHAPTER 26 j
AUNT MTN, who was to have the j
family for Christmas, had written a
pressing Invitation to Araminta.
“You must be with us.”
But Araminta couldn’t. There
was a matinee. If you please, and an
evening performance. Actors weren’t
supposed to need holidays!
"Darling.” she wrote. "I’m a work
ing woman. And my Christmas din
ner will be eaten between perform
ances. in bites and snatches.”
It wasn’t, of course, as bad as
that. For everybody sent her boxes
of food, as if she were on the point
of starvation and proper edibles for
the Christmas season couldn’t be
found in the metropolis. Araminta*
surveying her riches, decided that
such largess must be shared. So
she asked the queen of the Bread
and Honey company to dine with
her. "They’ve sent up enough from
home to feed an army."
The queen, who was of an almost
Incredible sveltness, considered, the
matter. “1 suppose I might risk it.”
“You can diet the other 364 days
—and Alice’s mince pies are—per
fect.”
“My dear —just because you never
gain a pound . . . !”
“Oh. I shall, some day. I’ll be
nice and plump and play the nurse
in Romeo and Juliet.”
“Don’t epeak of it—it’s the end of
youth—a part like that.”
The queen hated to grow old.
She was a very beautiful creature,
but she kept her beauty by untiring
effort. She looked lovely in the play,
which was what they had hired her
for. She was, everybody admitted
a bit wooden, but she didn’t know
1L Nor did she know, as yet, that
Araminta, as the maids was by way
of carrying off the honors.
The dinner was served by the ol.d.
woman. Beulah, There were white
orchids in a silver bowl in the cen
ter of the table, white candles in
silver holders.
The queen demanded, “Why all
the elegance?”
“Oh, well, it’s Christmas.”
“But orchids? Who’s th,e boy
friepd?”
Mints smiled. “One of my old
neighbors.”
There was a little tree set in the
great window which looked oyer the
elty. Heaped about it were dozens
of boxes.
The queen was curious, “Pres
ents?”
“Yea”
“Mind showing them,?”
“Not at all.”
A string of pearls from Uncle Tad.
A prayer book from the Bishop a
check from Nicky. Lingerie made
by Mary’s busy fingers. Her favorite
perfume and powder from Leoatine.
Aquamarine beads and earrings from
Iris. Books from Taylor and Helen.
A rare little volume of plays bound
by Riviere In hand tooled leather
from Barney. A glass paper weight
backed by a Baxter print front Aunt
Min.
The queen pounced upon the paper

weight. “Who. gave you that ?”
“My aunt in Washington. She’s
mad about Baxter.”
The queen was blank. “Baxter?”
Araminta told her patiently. “His
prints. Aunt Rhoda has a large col
lection—she has spent a small for
tune.”
“Do you mean that this Is worth
—money?”
“Not as much as some of them.”
The pearls had, a more concrete
i,meaning for the queen.
“Real?”
“Yes. Uncle Tad will do it.” Ara
minta swung the pearls up about her
whfte neck. “These go with my
clasps, I never wear msy other
jewels.”
“You mean that you have others?”
“From my grandmother. She was
a great beauty. And the diamonds
came down from her.”
“Well, you’ve got her lopks,” the
queen graciously conceded, “I might
be jealous. But I’m not. ...”
A little later they left for the thea
ter. Arriving there, Araminta
donned a very modern and sophisti
cated maid’s uniform—gray, with a
fine white cap and an infinitesimal
white apron. In the garden, she
hung minute handkerchiefs up
against an ultramarine sky. She
hummed as she worked, with a
clothespin in her mouth; sang
snatches of rhyme: “ ‘The king was
in his counting-house . . . counting
out his money . . . ; the. queen
was in the parlor . . . eating bread
and honey; the maid was in the gar
l den . . She was lovely, heart
, shaking.
And Jan, sitting far back in the
audience, saw her!
He had arrived a week ahead of
time. He had wanted to see her
play while she was unaware of his
presence. He had driven straight
from the boat and wore street
clothes. He had found himself
tingling with anticipation.
Yet when Araminta entered, her
beauty came upon him almost with
a sense of shock. The freshness, the
spontaneity, the utter ; ick of self
consciousness. It was as if no ope
was within a thousand miles of her.
As if in that garden where she hung
out her handkerchiefs there was no
other audience but the dicky bird on
hia branch. ' ■ - ■
Such a little part! But she did
so well uiiUi it! Serving tea to the
queen, and to the knave who vis
ited her! Hinting to the king that
money was not everything . . . !
A little part? But it dominated the
others. When the curtaia fell, he
heard people asking. "Who is she?”
He wanted to tell them. .He wanted
to hear all they had; to say about
her. He watoed tp speak to, them
of her future.' He Wanted to. shout

to all the world: She’s Araminta
i Williams, and she’s —mine.”
* * *
Araminta could not believe it wa®
i he, when she came out of the stage
entrance and found him waiting.
But there he was, dark, splendid,
with his hat off and people looking
at him as they passed. Cosmopoli
tan to his toes! A sort of com
posite of all the beautiful dark men
she had admired, from Byron tq
Barrymore!
He stepped forward: ‘‘Mignon!”
“Oh, darling, darling —”
They walked on together. Her
hand in the crook of his arm, his
hand over it. “When did you get
here?”
“We docked three hours ago. I
came a week ahead- I couldn’t wait.
Mignon.”
“Oh ...” she breathed it like a
sigh, “it’s too heavenly to have you,
Jan.”
He hailed a taxi, “Where shall w«
go?”
“Too late for my house.”
“Supper somewhere?” '*'<
“Yes.”

“Really, Jan?”
“Reallv. dearest.”

She laughed—“Oh, not here.” *

"Tomorrow —at my house —at

of letting the declaring side win one

or course part of the added ef
