Pretty girls with good fortunes and
susceptible temperaments need careful
guardianship in smart hotels where
society is mixed and credentials are not
always forthcoming. Harpies of both
sexes abound; and more than one good
bag has been made for the benefit of
the fowler and the ruin of the victim
always under cover of fine manners
and high-sounding names. This being
so, 1t was a little doubtful IL Mrs.
Brand was the right kind of guardian
for Ida Maynard. A ladyIike woman
who had less self-respect than com
plaisance, and whose capacity for be-
lief was as large as her power of dis
elimination was small. had burden Of
responsibility rather heavier than she
could bear In the charge of a pretty
young person of romantic tendencies
and handsome income And more
than one of Ida's old family friends la
mented the chain of circumstances
which had driven her into Mrs Brands

harm had come to the young heiress

The hotel was crowded, and the com.

sporting with one another among the
flowers best expressed their general
condition, and, because the place was
so overlooking and the satie.a- manger
had not space for universal segrega-
ton, the small tables usually given up
TO two or three were perforce tenanted
by five Jr six. Whence resulted init
macies which were sometimes danger

unscalable escarpmants rose sheer

these acute angles and hazardous
curves so well known to continental
travelers-angles and curves which
were veritable deathtraps and where
the marvel was that anyone should es-
