'Wel," he hedged, well don't

81 thought not. There, you see, is
the whole rotten sham of the entire

spoke emphatically and looked the
younger man sqUarely in the face
Its a sorry time for the young peo-
pie of this day when the whole social
fabric has to be built on such a poor,
wObbly thing as clothes"
Il wouldn't go quite as far as
that" protested Bailey.
Il wouldn't have gone that far be-
fore; but you surprise me - you, a
young man 1 thought with a pretty
good. mental equipment-at least a
little above the average - you, by
your own confession, believe people
are all sized up by their clothes. 1t
is something of jolt-though1 sup

see, I've been living in a rather small

clothes. But when you're young l
suppose you must get into the game,
and that girl you spoke Of - she's
young, and it isn't quite right for her
to be entirely out Of it. She prob
ably has more brains in her little fin
ger than most of the women here
have in their whole makeup. She has
had two poems published that have
been noticed, but she has to grind
away at teaching to earn a living.
She went at it at IS. Her father
never made more than enough to
just scrape along on, and she's had
no society, and you might say, no
youth"
The young man was staring at him
in wonderment.

claimed.

such as we saw here last night,
where the lOw-neck ends at the
waistline on the back"
May l ask you to introduce me to
this young Lady," asked Bailey, at
the same time transferring his card
to the other man.
What, after"
At this moment, as fate would have
it, the girl under discussion ran
quickly up the steps and straight to
the elder man.
"Oh, Uncle Arthur" she began,
and then, seeming to note the pres
ence of the other man, she paused
abruptly in confusion.
Janet, let me present Mr.. Bailey.
My niece, Miss Rankin, Mr. Bailey"
She acknowledged the introduce
ton with quiet dignity and went in.
The young mans face was one
over which a less kindly man than
Rankin might have glOated in boast
full triumph.
Pm more sorry than I can tell
you" he said in crimson mortifca-
ton.
Nov, never. mind" said the
other. p You've taught me some
thing. Let me thank you instead"
and he put out his hand good-na-
turedly. Bailey caught it in a firm
grasp.
The next day he came upon Janet
ensconsed against a sand heap away
from the crowd Of bathers, reading.
He asked if he might interrupt. ia
net had no objection. They talked
and the time sped on until his watch
warned him he had broken an en-
gagement and he had to leave.
That evening at a hotel dance
Janet, with her uncle, sat watching
the swirling, rainbow-tinted clouds
Of tulle and chiffon float past on the
modishly arrayed dancers. Her own
gown, high-necked' and neat, might
have suited a woman twice her age.
