"Poppy! Poppy I Ought to be youi name—you’re so red at the top.' Joyce commented cruelly, after a long appraising stare at the new membei of the family. She felt Justified, lov ing beauty as she did. The girl wai uncomely, lathy in shape, with pall freckled skin and eyes red-rlmmed till their color was uncertain. Her black •frock, coarse and ill-fitting, ifempha- sized the redness of her untidy mop ol hair. She had swayed slightly at Joyce’s speech, half turned to' the open window, her eyes suddenly desperate, then checked herself, and said tremu lously : ‘‘Please don’t mind my looks —no more than I do. Please, also, tell hie what I am to do 1” j “Anything I say,” Joyce flung back flippantly. “Father won’t have It that you’re to be my maid—but I have the last say—so you hear when I speak— and be quick In minding.’* “I shall try,” the newcomer Mid ■till more tremulously, turning so the hard north ll£it fell full across her meegc-r face.

At that Smith whistled faintly, but smothered it to s smirk. “Call her, please, I want the matter settled right away,” he said. When Joyce came It was settled out of baud—of course In the affirmative, since she herself was to chaperon her new maid 1 in this great adventure. It began next morning at dawn— and fascinated her completely. Smith showed himself a gentleman, also something of a diplomat. By private treaty with Liza there was a liberal lunch basket, a kettle of coffee, alao cushlona to rest on while one ate. Smith rode in the cur alone. Joyce liked to show her skill at the wheel, so drove her smart sedan. She was more charmed than ever when upon the second day a second man appeared on the scene—much, much younger and handsomertha n Smith; also, it ap peared, much keener in quest of beauty. Smith was all business—he sketched Janet In many poses against many backgrounds, always barehead ed, always In the coarse black frock —that somehow had learned a trick of emphasizing her classic lengths. Hourly It seemed she came to Ilfs the sunshine—ate delicately but with relish, lie came to lodge with Smith —room being plenty, Thus Joyce felt there could bo wnthivg out of the way la safe lag them to dinner or sapper el tbetr coevea leers.
