' Studio Plans Were Abandoned After an Explanation. By HELEN J. WOOD. "See here, Connie, I can't go a ?teD farther. If vou want to earrv K j -- j out the rest of yeur program for today you will tare to do it by yourself. I am tired out. And here are these home papers I hare been carrying around all morning without even a chance to glance in them." Mrs. Curwin emphasized her remarks by sinking down on one of the benches in front of the Pavilion des Arts Industrieux. Soon she was buried in her papers, quite forgetful of foreign surroundings. One glance at the daughter showed that she was the general of the little exploring party. Filled with a determination to see everything at the exposition, she had been "personally inducting", her meek minded mother for a week. Mrs. Curwin was hankering for the al lurements of the French shops, but Connie had been resolute. The exposition first and Paris afterward was her motto. But today she was wise enough to overlook this sudden insubordination. Besides, she was tired herself. So there she sat, idly watching the stream of passing people. What contrasts in figure and costume met her eyes?English, Turks, Hindus, Japanese and, more numerous than all, Americans. Connie saw her compatriots with a thrill of pride?the girls so much more beautiful than their foreign sisters, the men so tall and broad shouldered. Oh, the American men! She would choose them every time. A tender smile parted her lips. Her mother's voice broke her reverie: "Why, I can't believe my eyes! Well, well!" And she paused as if overcome. /*< 1 1 . 3 3 il. _ uonnie leaned over ana ieaa xne eiciting paragraph: "Mr. and Mrs. Van Ingen announce the engagement of their daughter Maud to James Wortman Pennington of this city." Connie started in spite of herself. "Jim! And he never told me!" "That's just what I'd like to knew. How did he ever work it up in ?ch-a hurry? Why, we have been gone only two months, and before that he was always hanging round after you." She fairly sputtered in her excitement, but a glance at her daughter's face calmed her. It wore a look of one stunned by the shock of a sudden blow. "Of course," she wait on more quietly, "it may hare been going on for a long tiaM. Maud is not pretty/' with an admiring gaze at her own daughter, "but she is kind and pleasant. He might hare done worse." "Yes, he might have done worse," Maud echoed. "But I shall write him a note tonight and scold him for not having told me before?me, whom he called his best friend. Now, mother, if you are determined not to see anything more today you can easily find your way home. I will follow out the program alone." And, picking up her guidebooks, she hurried off. Mrs. Curwin gazed after her with a orrnu-inor nnviotv Did Connie real ly care? Meanwhile the trim little figure was hurrying down a long aisle. Her eyes passed over a kaleidoscopic succession of objects that somehow failed to make any impression on her brain. The exposition roared and flashed around her, and in her mind one train of thought kept repeating with a horrible persistency. Jim engaged?her Jim! Yes, he had been her Jim, she said almost savagely; had been her best friend for ever so long. She had been coquettish and flirted with the other boys, but he had known all along, she felt sure. Had he only been flirting with her? No, no! But here he was, engaged to another girl! And then the whole miserable circuit began once more. She oame home to the pension so white and weary that her mother was alarmed, but she pleaded fatigue aad went off to bed like a tared chili. t Poor Mrs. Curwin was much perplexed in the days that followed. Connie seamed the usual Connie, but what had iasyired the girl with this insane notion of staying in Paris to study art ? She argued and bnt all in rain. Connie waa a young person of a determined mimd, and on this subject she was more than usually determined. Her mother finally resigned herself to the prospect of being an exile fram Wr beloved native land, for, of / ? 4 < ? ?? course, where Connie stayed she had to stay, too, until Connie wearied of this latest whim. Mrs. Curwin devouMy hoped that it would be soon. However, there was one alleviation for her misery. Connie seemed to have lost her enthusiasm over doing the exposition. She spent her time investigating art schools and studios, leaving her mother to plupge into all the delights of shopping, of which the good woman did not soon tire. To be sure, Connie might have shown a little more interest in her purchases, ft was all very well to say that as an art student she would need few clothes. Mrs. Curwin knew better. Connie had always been fond of clothes, s.nd soma day she would wake up from her art dreams and find that her wardrobe was bare. But her daughter's indifference Viop real inti?re.?t.a" did not Tire rent Mrs. Curwin from entering eagerly into all her plans for the studio. If only they had brought some of their home furniture with them! Connie tried to explain patiently how out of place the heavy, elegantly upholstered pieces would be in a studio and how much more i delightful it would be to pick up the necessary things one at a time in the various curio shops. This last idea was balm to her mothers ruffled feelings. It offered such ini liLine pustuuumeo IUI suuji^mg. With this laudable object in v:.ew she soon became a familiar figure to all the curio dealers. Connie was usually the interpreter, but if, aa often happened, she did not care to go Mrs. Curwin never lacked the courage to go alone. Each day she came home with some new art treasure, and the girl had not the heart to spoil her delight by reminding her that they already had enough traps to fill two ordinary studios. These were weary days for Connie, and yet she was too proud to confide her suiTerings to her moth e:r. What good would it do anyway to disturb that serenity? And she had had no word from Jim in answer to her note. Small wonder, for what could he say ? And ygt? and yet?he might have? She had been sitting on a bench in the Jardin des Tuileries, and now she rose with a start and tried to enjoy the fountains splashing and glittering under the July sun and the pretty French children with their bonnes in peasant caps. As she glanced down the path she saw & well dressed American looking from side to side as if in ^ search of seme one. Her heart gave a leap. He looked like? Nonsense! She was always imagining that ehe saw him. The gentleman came directly toward her. There was no mistaking him now. It was Jim. She gazed at him. Then the glad light died from her face. "You? Here!" she said slowly. "Just got in from New York," was the cheerful reply. "Found your mother on the Rue de Rivoli, ' T ? 4 _ J 1 J. 1. V. so nere i am. adu ne ioua. uci uuresisting hand. "Y?u don't 6ay you're glad to see me. That's rough when a chap ocmes so manv miles to see yeu, dear." The "dear" acted like an electric shock. Wrenching free her hand, she faced him with blazing eye9. "You know you ought not to be here. You ought to be at Newport with Maud." Jim seized both hands now. He had forgotten the people, forgotten everything but the white, tense face of the little American girl. "Connie, dear, it's all a dreadful mistake, and I came over just as soon as I could aiTange it to toll you the truth. It's Cousin James from Colorado, who is engaged to .Maud, and the stupid newspaper mo/io fho orrnr "Rnt I never sruess od you'd care so much, dearest." " * * * Mrs. Curwin found them at the pension sitting in the dusk. As usual, her arms were filled with bundles. "Connie," she cried triumphantly, "I have found the greatest bargains for your studio?a pair of bellows and a leather cushion and"? "Studio!" Jim interrupted. Somehow Ceenie had forgotten to tell him about her winter plans. He listened to Mrs. Curwin'a explanations with a smile. "I guess we'll be making use of all these things in New York, won't we, Connie?" f And Connie smiled back a "Yea." Sheared In Installments.
