Charlton did not care bit about it.
He only laughed at it. He acknowledged
the family; but was not a bit proud OF it.
She had dreadful time in making him
own up to the "Charlton Varick." He
said that it would play the deuce with
him in business, and all St. Mary would
laugh at him. 1t nearly broke up their
engagement. But the cards were en-
graved and out before he knew it, and so
he had to let it stand. Thus she ratified

she appeared great deal stouter. l was
greeted with kindly enthusiasm, but a re-

His one recreation was collecting, and
he already had some wonderful paintings,
china, and rare books. The Vandams
were now on their way to Italy, where a
host of dealers were waiting for him. But
to Matte it seemed dreadful for him to
waste these treasures on the desert air OF

them there. He just stored them away in

Mattie's aspirations would be realized;

gle to gain sure foothold in Mad
rid (U. S. A. Society, was GER
tain Miss Matte Hobbs. She
was schoolmate of the Burton
girls, and she hailed from a flour
ishing city thousand miles be-
yond to the westward, in the land
of the boundless prairie and the
setting sun. For purposes of iden-
LITIGATION, | shall label it st. Mary.
Miss Matte was a plump, rosy,
round-faced little girl, blessed
with an amazing quantity Of high
spirits, good nature, and fluffy
blond hair. At that period of
their social development the Bur-
tonJ were not captious as to the
position of those to whom they
offered hospitality. 1t was prac-
tically anybody. Matte filled in
the gap. As remembered her
she was aggressively breezy, and
her RS were as hard and uncom-
promising as the Rockies. She
was an heiress to many millions
made by her father in judicious
manipulation of wire fencing, and
he was man of much consequence
in their home town.
With the years, as you know,
came great changes to the Bur-
tons. They won over Madrid.
Then followed the appointment of
Albert Burton, by grateful exc
cutive, to an important foreign
mission, and the marriages of the
two Burton girls. went abroad
with the new Ambassador, and
was mentor of the family in their
more recently acquired dignities.
1t was during that first winter
that we all received very correctly
engraved wedding cards ANNOUNCE
ing the marriage of Mathilde
Helene, only daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Gresham
Hobbs, and Mr.. Charlton Varick
Vandam, at All Saints Church.
St. Mary. was at loss for a
moment in placing "Mathilde

tilted her to me as the rotund
Matte of Madrid days.
Charlton Varick Vandam
sounded strangely familiar, and
reminiscent Of the queer tangle of
streets in old Greenwich village.

quarter of New York. Burton
was puzzled also. Then he recog-
nized the bridegroom as Charley

mental equipment to guess at
what she was driving. > Mrs.
Charlton Varick Vandam of st.
Mary wanted to break into New
York society; but hers was a vari-
ant on the usual plan. With the
money there was the name, a con-
siderable asset, Matte had been
told. She had been reading much
Society literature, and was stepped
in it. Her faith still lived in the
antics Of that timeworn puppet,
the star Of certain class of
New York novelists, Washington
Square. But she looked farther
than that. Her dream included
eventually a house in the court
end of town, a country estate, a
villa at Newport, perhaps box at
the Metropolitan, and above all a
position founded on right by an
cestry. | really believe that she
had remote ambition of estab-
fishing herself as rival to Mrs.
Stuyvesant Fish.
After dinner | met her husband,
and was agreeably surprised in
him. He was the clean-cut type
of the modern Western American,
and, though not middle aged, al
ready man of some force. There
was no doubt that he was much in
love with his wife, and, as in the
case Of many of his countrymen,
she could walk all over him. l
think it amused him to give her
full play.
There was nothing said at the
time about the New York scheme,
and l did not refer to it. Before
the evening closed both the Van
dams were insistent upon my Wis
iting them at st. Mary. Matte
naturally somewhat deprecated
home attractions; but her hus-
band, in his quiet manner, assured
me that no doubt | would find
much to interest me.
The occasion presented itself
sooner than l anticipated. l was
in America the following year, and
had gone with some friends to the
coast. Coming back, the party
broke up at st. Louis. st. Mary
is only a few hours trip from St.
Louis. From Mrs. Burton l had
learned that the Vandams were at
home. l wired them, and received
a hearty 4Come right along from
Vandam. When l announced in
St. Louis that l was going to pay
