Attired in her new finery, she inter-
viewed a vocal teacher. Without enthu-

that staggered her.
She returned to the boarding

that evening, she knocked on the door of
the room next to hers.

Ambrose Luxe began, from that night,
to show Gentian Belaire good time in
New York. And the good times, true in
tempo, perfect in rhythm, with a spirit
and swing that she could not resist, went
to her head.
She put off her ambitions for while
to drink her tipple of fun. And because
the weekly postal order for ten dollars
that Abigail sent was next to nothing
in New York, Gentian-as temporary
thing-accepted Mademoiselle Fantomes
