Yvonne walked bareheaded to mar
ket, and Ellen played under twisted
old trees with Tommy. Tommy had
no nnrse but his picturesque little
mother now. for Ellen was thrifty,
even In Paris, and Ellen had spent
mere than one evening on the arm
of Gibbs’ chair, working out the
financial end of their problem.
Their money must last until this
time—or that time—they must think
of the future.
When Tommy was- two years old,
and before the second child was
'bom, Gibbs painted his wife. They
were in Brittany again, and Ellen,
with white sewing In the lap of a
checked blue gown, and figure and
face already caught In the first ris
ing tide of motherhood, was set
against a background of gnarled old
grapevines.
The picture was hung In the
Salon des Independents, and Ellen,
when her delicate little girl was
a few weeks old. went to see It.
There was a crowd about It; there
was always a crowd about It. It
was the discussed picture of the
year, but she always looked at It
with a little pang at her heart. She
had been so happy In those sleepy
July days In the grape-arbor; she
had thought that the new baby
would be like Tommy, strong and
gay and hungry. Arid the tiny new
thing, who'had' been named Bose
for Gibbs’ mother, was so frail.
Even while she was looking at
Glhbs’ picture, his first success,
Ellen’s heart was in the little
nursery on Mont Saint Etienne,
hanging agonized above the little
bed where,.Bose .Tosselyn lay quiet,
apathetic, naif asleep.
The picture, during the winter,
caused a widening circle of com
ment and admiration, and presently
Gibb s had h is
was to paint a boy of ten, in the
trim gray uniform of a military
school, and receive two thousand
francs for the picture.
So fame was coming, and fortune
would come close on her heels,

Brushy 2 News i
This is th^/nation's season to
count their,/blessings. Each day
should be a Thanksgiving, but
what a beautiful custom to pause
one day to give thanks.
Mrs. T. R. Foster is slowly im
proving. She has left the hospital.
Georgia celebrated her first na
tional Thanksgiving 136 years ago.
Let us resolve to look for causes
for thankfulness, look for goodness
of God in our own lives and like
vfTiltfh Yv<m.,e ims ianen the
dancing Tommy, mused upon the
dream that had become the fact
She had Paris, Gibbs, and Tommy—
so much more than she had asked!
Bnt the silent, apathetic little Rose
was gone from the nursery now,
never again. to lie fgainst her mother’s
heart
Was that the cost of success—
she wondered. Success was new,
bnt ah, this constant hunger at her
heart was new, too. How gladly—
how gladly she would let the one
go, If she might lose the other!
Gibbs painted three more por
traits the next winter, which made
them feel rich; but he was working
hard and enthusiastically in the
atelier six mornings a week, and
neither he nor JSllen were Inclined
to extravagance, so that there was
no particular Incentive to seek com
missions.
And so the exquisite years went
by, and Tommy was three and then
four, and still the Joaselyns lived
In their own happiness, shut away
from the world, and glad to forget
It Ellen’s whole heart was
wrapped about her husband, her
girlish Idealism had never been dis
turbed. True, she knew now that
Gibbs was human. She knew now
that he could be unreasonable, that
he had moods In which she and
Tommy and Yvonne must keep even
a crumpled roseleaf from his path.
But he loved her, she amused him
and pleased his pride, and her
happy ways with him, that some
times were those of a daughter and
a pupil, sometimes wide-eyed ad
miration, sometimes all motherly,
were dear to him. He did not have
to ask her If she loved him; he.was
all her world.
Suddenly, In the seventh year, a
new note came Into their conver-
6 * 8 ' Without any premonition
they began to say: “If we do go
back to America.” Ellen was as
innocent as Gibbs of any prear
ranged planning to that effect. They
simply felt the possibility In the
air.
Presently Gibbs’ mind had seised
strongly upon the lde He would
go to New York, and find a studio,
and see what the prospect was of
painting portraits there. After
Tommy’s birth, at Ellen’s request,
he had written his father, enclosing
a little photograph of the small,
bald-headeid lump of babyhood that
was Thomas Gibbs, Third, and the
grandfather had eagerly responded
to the overture. A magnificent gold
| lined cup had come from Tiffany’s
for the baby, and presents on all
formal occasions.
Now Gibbs began to think he
would like to show his father the
stalwart Tommy, who spoke two
languages at five, and played his
little violin nicely.
Then, abruptly, it was settled,
and they began to wonder how they
had managed to stay, away so long,
Ellen, during the last busy days,
would stop sometimes In her pack
ing to look out of the undraped
studio window. They had been so
happy here since the marvelous
days when she and Gibbs had un
packed the boxes, and laid the rugs,
and hung the pictures with their
own hands. Was It wise to ran
away from It all?
And then came the memory of
Fifth avenue in spring sunshine,
and the sound one’s own tommo
spoken on all sides and the garden
In Main street sweet with lilacs,
and she would smile again.
She smiled now as the little boy
and the tall man crossed the deck
to her. Gibbs was young, at thirty
eight, despite the silver hair. He
had been [(laying bridge, and was
glad to get into the fresh air, after
the hot smoking room.
“You packed everything!” he ac
cused her.
‘‘Because I wanted you to be
free to see the very first of the
city !” she answered eagerly. ‘‘Look,
Tommy, that’s Ellis island, dear,
where all the immigrants have to
ret off. And look, there’s Lib
