Titan hair, who was still in the
nursery. AS this girl, Ellen, grew
up, her mother planned to marry
her to man of great wealth and
prominence in the society into
which her son had married Of all
the eligibles she selected Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt, the youth who
had been made the head of the Van.
derbilt family. And this brings US to
,the opening scene of this real-life
drama.
This scene was set in the beauti-
full Newport mansion belonging to
Mrs. Francis French, and in The
Breakers, the magnificent home of
the Vanderbilts. In her campaign to
win a Vanderbilt for her son-in-law
Mrs. French was aided by her daugh-
ter, Lady Cheylesmore; her son
Amos and his wife, and, of course,
by Ellen, now called Elsie by her
own request.
Opposed to them were Mrs. Van
derbilt, Mrs, Harry Payne Whitney
and Reginald. Alfred was in a way
a non-combatant. The senior Mrs.
Vanderbilt had other plans for her
son, but Elsie and Alfred were in
love, and Mrs. French wanted the
match, and the Vanderbilts were
beaten. This marriage realized Mrs.
French's greatest ambition. The
wedding was the most talked-of af-
fair of the year, and everything
promised we'll for the future.
But with this scene ended, a new
development arose. Amos French
became infected more deeply with
his mothers social ambitions, and he
began to build castles in the air.
He was aided by his mother and his
sister, Mrs. Vanderbilt. There was
a pretty girl growing up in the
French household, Pauline, the o..
est child. She had attended her
Aunt Elsie as bridesmaid, and her
future husband who should be as
rich and as important as Uncle AL
fred. Her Prince Charming must be
of high social standing, for at that
period the Trenches could not afford
to marry into any but the best social
circles.
When Polly was eighteen Aunt
Elsie gave a wonderful coming-out
ball for her, and during that year
showered her with gifts and pleas
ures. All this was done because
Aunt Elsie intended to marry her
satisfactorily. The husband chosen
for Polly must be of good family,
and have a fortune which would al.
low her to have her Winter in town
and her Summer in Newport.
This act centres around Mrs. AL
fred Vanderbilt's superb house in
Newport, and her equally superb
town house, with occasional excur
sions in the steam yacht, and in
the Vanderbilt private car to Al
lISu DedullIul ADIRONDACK camp.
Dances, cruises on Aunt Elsie's
yacht, trips to Europe with Aunt
Elsie, house parties at Oakland
Farm and Camp Sycamore filled
Polly's days and nights. She had
her own motor cars, her own maids.
everything that wealth could give.
And, of course she must marry as
Aunt Elsie and Father French de-
creed.
Amos French, socially ambitious
father, was proud of his Oldest
daughter and was just as sure as
his sister was that Polly should
make good marriage. When,
therefore, young Sam Wagstaff, the
son of Colonel Alfred Wagstaff, ap.
peared as her sutton, he was ac.
cepted. Great delight on all sides
was expressed because he was so

search amounted to nothing. Jack
and Judy were legally married when
they were next heard frOm-and per
fectly happy.
But there was no happiness in the
home Judy had run away from. The
quarre' between the father and
mother was so bitter that even tenn
pOrary reconciliation was effected
only with the greatest difficulty. The
fathers feelings were more intensely
bitter than the mothers. His blasted
pride gave him suffering enough in
way, but other instincts suffered also.
The mental picture Of his carefully
nurtured Judy serving Jack Geraghty,
the town chauffeur, as a wife and
housekeeper brought a bitterness to
his soul that nothing could temper.
Every fatherly feeling was out
ragged as he contemplated what this
marriage meant to Julia and to the
French family as unit. All this
added to the bitterness of the quar-
rel with his wife. He refused to stay
in her Newport home. He removed
his belongings to his Tuxedo home
He would not admit that his wifes
heart might be breaking-all he
thought of was his injured pride and
the damage the elopement might do
to his social ambitions.
For the year following the elop.
ment things were at a frightful ten
sion, Whenever he saw his wife his
reproaches grew more cutting.
Mrs. French, on her part, was lust
as unhappy She feared the worst
for Judy. She saw her washing
dishes, cooking the meals washing
Jacks clothes. She saw her going
without the Injuries to which she
was used. She saw her friends smile
pityingly whenever they met her.
She overheard gossip about her
daughter and the plain uneducated
Geraghtys. 1t was all very hard to
bear, and to relieve her overweight
feelings she threw the blame for the
tragedy on her husband, just as he
was trying to throw it on her.
Then news came that a. baby was
expected. And suddenly the mother
weakened in the attitude she had
assumed toward Judy and Jack. She
girl. But the logical result of the
runaway match did not weaken the
father, nor young Frank French,
the brother. They were made ever
more bitter. The baby would mean
a final and complete link between
Julia and the Geraghtys. 1t meant
the start of new branch of a family
tree in which the blood of the poor
Geraghtys blended with that of the
aristocratic lie Roys and Trenches.
Mr.. French by this time refused to
meet his wife, even outside her home
He had forbidden her approaching
Julia or giving her any money, but
the mother ignored. his orders and
helped prepare for the baby.
Then the baby came. Mrs.
French swept the baby and Judy in
her arms and deted her husband.

Among the most attractive Of the

oughly tested by public opinion and
made ready for enactment at the De-
cember session. The only obstacle to
such a course, Mr.. Wilson has been
told by some house leaders. is that
currency discussion would detract the
attention of the country from the
progress of the tariff measures in the
senate. If Mr.. Wilson should become
convinced that such contingency was
in sight it was believed he would post
pone any undue activity on currency
questions. He will be guided, however,
entirely by the exigencies of The sftua-

learned that the president will keep his
