trious and shrewd, and even less
scrupulous. Society was not his
birthright, and for that reason he
priced it all the more highly.
Fisher made social success one
of the aims of his life, and he allied
it with business success. 1t was all
a very serious matter to him. This
put him in the good graces of Mrs
Hadley, who took society very
seriously, while Mr.. Hadley regard
ed him as most promising young
man. In truth, Fisher had the art
and it is an art-of impressing
others with his worth. He was not
deeply designing, but he could fiat
ter tactfully, and showed equal tact
in inferentially discrediting others
whenever such a course seemed to
his advantage.
Fisher at this time made the
most of his opportunities, and the
conditions were favorable. Miss
Hadley was in a resigned and duti-
full mood. She had decided to be
sensible-not necessarily worldly,
but just sensible. Romance really
had no place in this mater-of.fact
age; it was much more important
that one should respect than that
one should love. And why should
she not accept the attention of
stanley Fisher? She liked him. He
was entertaining and most deferen-
tial. She did not go SO far as to
decide, even in her own reflections,
whether she would accept him if he
proposed. but there seemed to be

about Darnell that did not meet his
