Virginia, was different. She was plain
and shy and awkward. The Jeffersons
always looked puzzled when they
thought Of her, a homely Jefferson was
such strange mlsflt.
So Virginia lived her shy, lonely life,
an allen among her own people. Yet
she was not quite alone either. One
friend she had, old Aunt Charlotte,
who fought desperately to make the
girl conquer her fate instead Of yield

the war swept over the south. For n
few years the family contrlved to keep
together, but ut last it was necessary
for them to separate, and Virginia

were confident that they could help
her to music pupils. The weeks that
followed were crowded with agony for
the homesick girl. II she had been shy
ut home, she was thousand times
worse facing strangers. 1t was not
strange that only failure followed her
efforts.
One day sho went to see n Mrs. Dcns-

for whom she wanted music teacher.
For various reasons Virginia really
hoped for success there, but the result
was the usual polite regret. The girls
