be found The women of society do
not ask If man has done great
things in finance, science, art, inven-
ton or what not. The question is:
Can he talk to entertain and amuse?"
"And what are you going to do?"
asked the father in dubious tone.
Nov, daddie. don't you worry one
little bit You shall see the man and
have chance to Judge him before he
becomes your son-in-law."
It was said Of Phillip Barton that
he was a society butterfly. He was
born with a gold spoon in his mouth.
He had time to kill. He had never
made dollar for himself, but when
he picked up a fallen fan and pre-
scented It to lady score OF persons
held their breath at the grace Of It.
He was just rich young man-just
. dawdler-1ust butterfly! He was
one OF those who danced and dangled
about Miss Griscomb. He was one OF
the dozen who admired. He talked
vapidity and thought she was inter-
ested; he flattered. and thought she
was pleased. He started to propose
marriage, and she gave him such a
look as not only to check him, but
to set him to thinking very seri-
ously.
Way back. among Mr.. Barton's an
cestors. there had been a hard-headed
man-shoemaker, blacksmith, banker
or what. From him there had drifted
down something worth preserving.
Society had insisted on the younr
man being dawdler and q butterfly.
It had never taken him seriously. He
admired Miss Griscomb In a society
way. For social reasons he felt it q
sort Of duty to fall in love with her
and ask for her hand.

Into words he got q surprise. she was

there would have been smiles and
laughter.
! From that far-back ancestor came
the leaven. and Mr.. Philip barton
saw things and thought Of things and
did things. It was said that he had
gone to Europe.
