while she was out of town. Those

outer fringe of society. In them she
was not interested. When Gloria went
to return the calls of those whom she
had come to know were regarded as
the first families OF Belmont, she
found no one at home.
Somewhat mortified, but making no
confession OF her feelings even to
Mrs. Gilbert, Gloria threw herself into
the work of remodeling Locust Lawn

her a good part of the time in the
country, although she still made her
home with Mrs. Gilbert. Sometimes
she would pass the night at Locust
Lawn out of sense of duty to her
father The evenings spent in his
company were not ones of unalloyed
pleasure. More and more she was
coming to acknowledge to herself that
her father did not, could not enter
into her life, into the activities which
gave her pleasure.
Kerr honestly tried, but it was I'M
