[AN ORVILLE > By MILDRED WHITE ? pyrtpbt. 1912. AMera Newjptpcr L'nlon. , Diana's elder slater brought her argument to a climax. "Remember, my dear," she add | grandly, "that you are an Orville." j "Well," asked Diana testily, "exact- | ly what does that mean? First, and always, I ant an American, and If my ! mother chose to fall In Jove and marry i Into an aristocratic old fuiully, why should I be continually persecuted I with the factr. ' [■ Gwendolln shrugged. "Mother was a sweet and lovable lady. You greatly resemble her pic- j tares, Diana. But she wore herself .oat endeavoring to live up to the retirements of father's family, falling dispiritedly in the end. Mother's tastes and ambitions were simple and homely, like yours, my dear. The rest of us are all Orvllles, And I don't mind confessing here. In the secrecy of my boudoir, that my marriage was made In accord with the dictates of father's family. I owed them that. Aunt Phyl11s Orville talked with me often concerning my duty, und I knew what would be expected when Grandmother Orville, In my girlhood, sent me abroad. I was supposed to repay that kindness by a gratifying marriage. And I did. Gordon Is a banker, coming from one of the finest families in Boston. There was a boy In the co-ed college 1 attended — " Gwendolln paused. Her usually sharp black eyes were filled with dreams. "Never mind that episode," she went on. "I merely refer to It to show you that we all hrve our love affairs and that they are easily put In abeyance. I admit I rather fancied this - stranger admirer of yours, until Lois Adams legmed accidentally of his boarding place. My dear! Thiuk of a man of the slums presuming to force fate attentions uikiii you! I declare It Makes me furious hen I realize how lx>ls must have lunched in secret over oar humiliation." "She need not laugh," Diana said, her quiet tone In pleasant contrast to her sister's excited one. "John Dalton Is a man. whether he lives In the slums or the exclusive park, though that *slum' remark Is an exaggeration. He does board, he told me so frankly, la an old and shabby part of the city. Ele Is trying to make his way up Id Ms profession, alone and unaided. He thought," added Diana bravely, "that we could marry sooner that way. And nothing In the world," the girl raised har' lovely, flushed face, "Is of consequence to John now, save our marriage — and his profession." Gwendolln Jumped to her feet. "Good heavens!" she exclaimed. "Has your affair gone as far as that? What will father say, if you persist In this foolishness?" the sister walled. 1 Diana arose. "I don't know," she replied. "I guess IT go and ask him." .Her father was not In any room •f the apartment which they shared together, so she sought him later in his office. "Father," the young, loved daughter asked abruptly, "what became of ' Aunt Phyllis Orville, and why were my sisters, obliged to live up to her snobbish standards?" "Brought up like a princess, Phyllis was." he said. "We Orvllles had a pretty fine home, big stone place facing Orville court. Phyllis Inherited the property and disposed of It, I suppose, Jong ago. Foreigners and business i blocks have crowded out the court. It's « -ailed plain Court street now. I never /drive down that way — tarnishes my memories." "Court street," repeated Diana. "Father, I came to talk to you about Court street, it's where s man lives that I love." . , "Love," whispered Colin Orville. He Cstn red uow at his daughter. .plana nodded. "John is a civil enfather," she went on, "and your r""own friend Mr. Stewart thinks a great j deal of liiui. Bui Gwendolln Is humiliated because I want to marry John, lor 1 tun uu Orville, and he lives on Court street" The sentences came in u confused rush. Deliberately her father arose and got Into bis coat "We will go and see Just where he Is." he said. "We can talk things over on she way." It was a dlugy house of past gran-de*r*-oh, very farjpast, with crowdlag stores on either side, and children chattering around it in a foreign -league. Colin Orville grasped his daughter's arm. "Diana," he cried, "my dear, this Is my old home." He shook his head sadly, then smiled his whimsical smile. "That for the lasting glory of a proud name, and a proud house." An old lady opened the door. She was a tall, white-haired woman, and she opened to them as one conferring a favor ; then all at once her sternness melted into one longing cry. "Colin," she said. "Oh, Colin!" "To think," Diana's father said later, as the three sat In the old parlor together, "that you married a poor man abroad, Phyllis, my dear, and were too proud to confess to your family. And to think that you came back again to live on here In secrecy — perhaps In want — " "Oh, no," the old lady answered Mm. "I buve made a living. Colin, and Tve Pad some really nice boarders. There's pn exceptional young man stopping with me now, a Mr. John DaUon— " "1 know." laughed Diana, tremulous, Starry -ej ed ; "that young man is going •» marry an firwin* £jmt Phyllis."
