frankness and independence which, combined with her re­spect for the older artist's opin­ions, had always won both fond­ness and admiration. With the frankness and directness which, on the other hand, always char­acterized Signor Bartello's judg­ments, now came the answer:

"Because it i s not a Madonna, dear young lady!"

"But that's what it's meant to be. I deliberately made a Madon­na," Claire insisted, a frown, half-nettled, half-puzzled on her brow,

"Not quite a Madonna, "mused the older artist, regarding the little clay models more amiably.

"If not, why not? Can't any but Catholics make Madonnas?" Claire queried with as much ser­iousness as humor in the ques­tion.

"Not quite a Madonna,"-con­tinued the Signer's soliloquy, ig­noring for the time Claire's ques­tion. Not quite a Madonna. A perfectly good dear little mother and a lovely child—yes'.The child is better than the mother.though she is good-as a dear little hu­man mother. But not Madonna!"

"Wasn't Mary that, just hu­man?"

"That, of course—but some what more!" answered Signor Bartello. smiling,
