Grace Winthrop. AS to that, she was
willing that Grace should have the
preference and the attentions of one Of
these young men, but she had not yet
decided which one. Mr. Lamar had a
great deal of money. and Mr. Barnes
was very good looking and lively, en-
gaging companion. 1t was difficult
choice. AS a matter of fact, Gladys
had no right to consider any such
choice at all for reasons that will pres
emily appear.
Miss Winthrop came back into the

don't mind" she said, with smile
