the serious, able. capable. rising young
statesman. His half-brother Is a perfect
specimen OF the exquisitely groomed.
fascinating, utterly unprincipled upper
class English wastrel. The public mans
wife Is a pretty, empty-headed little
thing. who demands his constant at
tention. and resents his neglect OF her,
preoccupied as he ia with large az
fairs and the making OF his career
Her sister, serious-minded. intellectual,
would have been his true mate In lie
She realizes this. because she loves him
secretly. The profigate and the doll
wife embark upon a filtration that
threatens TO lead to disastrous conse-
ouences. The sister undertakes to set
things straight, II necessary at the
cost of her own happiness in life. The
characters are all English, but the
scene is laid in Montreal. There IL
