I Connie's Art
?
' 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
/ ?

? ??
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.
Sheep are put to .double use in
the' northern part of India, in the
Himalayas. They are driven fro*
market to market with the wool
still growing, and in each village
the owner shears as much wool as
he can sell there and loads the
sheared sheep with the grain he receives
in exchange. After his flock
has been sheared he t?rn3 it homeward,
each aaimal carrying a bag
of grain.
