Love Lightly

“And BO,’’ said Ellen, “little
•oldilocks came to the big city.
Or perhaps I should say Little
Bad Riding Hood. As I remem
ber it, I did wear a red heret!
Wltli just Kcactly twenty dollars
Bi the pocket of the old tweed
coat—but with all of my bills
veld, and the homestead still un-
Bmtgaged. Tou didn’t know, did
yoe. that I am a landowner?
That I, whose knees shall be
known to posterity, am the pos-
aesBor of an estate!’’
The man with the Vandyke
heard reached, through the cloud
af his pipe smoke, for her hand
—^whlch Ellen carefully remored
from his Ticinity. He shrugged,
and reached instead for the glass
that stood at his elbow.
“For such a red hot, red
capped little person,” he said
“you’re startlingly chill! Know
that, Ellen? A,’’ he laughed,
gnlte alone, at his pun, “a
Church — and why should a
church need fortifications? —
with battlements and moats and
a drawbridge!”
One of the two other girls
was speaking.
Shut up, Sandy,” she said.
“You’re just about as funny as
a wake! Say. Ellen,” her voice
was shrill, “why don’t you throw
a party up at your place, some
week-end? The crowd of us
could make perfectly swell
whoopee.”
If a shadow crept acro.ss the
carefully rouged little face of
Ellen Church, she veiled that
shadow with a slim, raised hand.
Her answer came with almost too
much nonchalance.
'I haven’t been near the place,’
she said, "since I turned the key
Tu the lock and went out into the
storm, with neither a wedding
ring nor a baby. I'd have to have
considerable of a week-end—and
1 mean my head!—to take you
all np there. Why,’’ even at twen
ty Ellen couldn’t quite control
the sudden tremor in her voice,
‘Why, the place is full of ghosts.
The man with the Vandyke
beard puffed away in silence for
a moment.
"You were telling your life
story,” he reminded Ellen, at
fest. “N'ot that it’s such a whale
of a story, at that. There hasn't
been a starvation, or a tempta
tion, or a ruination, yet.’’

"And,” the tremor had quite
gone from Ellen’s voice, "there
won’t be, either. Not while the
old brain sits firmly just above
the well known shoulders. Well,
to make a abort story long, I got
In touch with the only soul I
knew, believe It or not. In New
York. A person who had sold my
mother’s work. Sort of an art
agent, yon understand. Mother—
she did all of her selling second
hand, she wouldn’t see art edi
tors herself. You hare to be
pretty swell,” there wss a note
of pride, a defensive sort of
pride, in Ellen’s voice, "to sell
your stuff that way! But any
how,” the pride was gone from
her voice, now, “anyhow, I went
to this agent and asked her ad-
‘vlce. And she tried to help. ’Per
haps you’d better be an artist,’
she said. ‘It’s in your blood.’ 'But
it’s left out of my fingers,’ I told
her. ‘Well, what can you do?’ ehe
asked me. And I said. ‘I’m a
regular wow at posing’.”
A man without a beard and for
that reason some years older
than the Vandyked one, spoke.
"And 80 you are!’’ he told El
len. “I never knew anyone who
could catch an idea the way you
do. I wish to heaven I could keep
you busy all the time. Not that
I wouldn’t be afraid to have you
in the studjo all the time—”
Ellen shrugged.
“I don’t eat artists.’’ she said,
“not even raw ones like Sandy,
here; not even good ones like
you!’’
One of the girls laughed. It
was a sharp laugh, rather.
“I’m not so sure of that.” she
told Ellen. “I’d say, for all your
wide eyes and your raised eye
brows. that you were a regular
man-eater. Y'ou have a come-on
game—’’
“That,’’ interrupted the man
called Sandy, “that doesn’t come
anywhere! Ellen’s come-on game
.somehow always fails to arrive!’’
Ellen laughed ever so slightly,
and surveyed her guests through
the low hanging haze of their
tobacco smoke. The two girls?
They—she admitted it, in her
mind—weren’t important. Just
models like herself. With stagey
names behind which they hid
their own commonplace labels.
Gay Vardon—the shorter one,
with the angelic face framed in
red hair. She '"'us in demand for
magazine covers, Gay. Her inno
cent eyes were a guarantee on
ai.y periodical of its faith with
the public. Claire Tremaine—the
tall, willowy one, who posed for
fashion work. Why with her
boneless, onrveless figure was
just a little passe in this new age
of fa.shion elegance.
They weren't of much import
ance, these two. Just white of
»T«i7 nae of blg 'buo, had tat
her into the. square, somber
room la which he palated.
"So TOO waat to poae?” he had
qneationed. “I taoc/i from yoar
looka, that you’ve Jnst run away
from achool, with an old copy of
The Common Law’ tncked into
yonr pocket. Well, I do need a
model. But yen’ll find it hard,
nnromantlc work!”
Ellen had answered haughtily,
to cover the shiver in her heart,
the quake in her soul.
“I’ve posed all my life,” she
told him. "I know It’s not easy.
But I’m used to it!”
Dick Alven’s practiced, oddly
personal yet oddly Impersonal
gaxe had run the length of her
slender body. He sighed.
“You’re such a kid,” he told
her. "Do you pose lor the fi
gure?”
Ellen felt the blood mounting
into her cheeks, pounding Into
her temples. But she answered
with a certain doggedness.
"I hare, of conrse, posed that
way,” she said. "I can, if there’s
no other work to be had. But I’d
rather—not!”
Dick Alven had laughed. "I
thought that would scare you
out,” he said. "I’d know you for
an amateur any day. Who’ve you
posed for—you little bluffer?”
Bllen’s bead was high. The
blood had receded from her
cheeks.
“I posed for Mrs. Church,” she
said. “You must have seen her
work. She specialized In draw
ings of children. Of young girls.
She,” Ellen's lips all at once
were quivering; all at once the
tears stood, roundly. In her eyes,
“she was—my mother!”
Dick Alven, with a certain
mute astonishment, had watched
her tears spill over on to the pale
cheeks. He had given himself a
little shake, and had closed the
studio door.
“Make yourself at home,’’ he
told Ellen. “I’ve an order for a
sort of Kate Greenway mural, to
dress up a half-baked, Junior
league inspired children’s the
atre. I can use you plenty.’’
And so Ellen entered the
studio, and buttoned herself in
to a high waisted, blue-sashed
muslin dress, and started out up
on her career as a professional
model. It was as easy as that!
Under Dick’s tutelage, which al
most amounted to chaperonage,
she met other artists, secured
other work.
It was getting late. The cigar
ette smoke was rising toward the
ceiling of the room. As soon as
the bunch left, Ellen thought,
she would fling up the windows
—and make the room sweet
again.
“I think,” she called now to
the corner in which Gay and
Sandy were sitting, very close,
“that you’d better clear out. I’m
working tomorrow, and I’m
starting early.”

"Be that," she said, "as It

Then they wore gone, the
three of them. Clattering down
the uncarpeted stairs. Sandy
laughing — Gay’s shrill giggle
echoing his mirth.
“They’re laughing about me,”
Ellen told Dick, and her tone
was tranquil. “They think I’m

That I haxe six toes on each foot,
and they’re webbed. Yon tell ’em

But Dick was staring at her
strangely, throngh the drifting
smoke, most of which he was
now creating, himself.
"Sandy may langh at you,” he
said, “but he’s In love with you,
Ellen.”
Ellen, again, attempted the
shrug. It was more of a success
this time.
"Oh—love!’’ she eaid. Just
that.
Dick went on.
"So,” he said evenly, "am I,
for that matter! I love you, El
len. you know. Foolish, Isn’t It?"
Ellen agreed.
"Yes, It Is, rather,” she said.
“Because I have reason to sup

Dick’s voice rasped just a lit
tle. It was a very nice voice when
It didn’t have that grating note.
"What, for instance?” he ques
tioned.
“Privacy, for instance!’’ Ellen
answered, trying to ^make her
tone flippant.
Dick was rising from his chair.
His tall figure, despite bis
breadth of shoulder, gave the ef
fect of gauntness. He came swift
ly across the room and laid his
hands, not too lightly, on Ellen’s
shoulders.

felt a thrill of affection as her
eyes rested upon his face. For it
was Dick that she had first gone,
quite by chance, in her quest for
work. A slim, frightened child, in
a scarlet cap and an unfashion

knocking at his studio door. And

“I’m ready to blow,’’ she said.
“This party hasn’t been what
you’d call a wow for excitement.
The story of Ellen’s past is too
blameless to make what might
be known as a hectic evening.
See me home, Dick?” there was
a slightly eager note in her
drawling voice. “You go my
way!’’
But Dick, slowly, was skakln*

“I’m staying on here, for a bit,

told her. “I want to talk with

to talk to her about costumes."
Sandy, rising, had dragged
the diminutive Gay to her feet.

you’re really afraid to venture
out alone on the sidewalks of

Claire shrugged.
