IN noble society were not altogether
displeasing. Drulnmie found that

dence.
III the next two years the Busches,
including Marie, were much abroad
Drummond Jones was forced 20 hear
a lot about Marie's social successes
in Europe and about the long pro.
cession OF titles which travelled in
her wake. These things were
printed in the home papers. Not
only were Marie and her fortune
frankly pursued by numerous titled
personages, but Marie was accepting
their attentions with an apparent
enjoyment which, doubtless, caused
plain American named Jones MANY
sleepless nights.

mond Jones pressed his suit with so
much energy that Marie simply had
TO listen seriously. They were seen
together so much that there were
rumors of an engagement. The
truth, rendered plausible by the
sequel. seems to be that Miss Marie
was driven TO the point of telling
Drummie that he'd better speak to

Right there's where the blue over

German descent, could understand
the existence OF a Baron in condi-

not a habit in the Busch family
either to have a title or elegant

OF sterner implements than tennis
racquets, and their heads were hard
enough to consider more important
matters than local amateur tennis
championships.
Perhaps Papa didn't put II quite
as plainly as this. However. the fact
remains that Jones presently was =
