Study Department.
At the study department meeting
Monday Mrs. F.. B. kinyon read an in
teresting article on Uruguay and the
Uruguayans. This little country sit
uated between Brazil and Argentina
is like garden spot between two large
estates. 1t has neither mountains, nor
deserts, no antiquities and no aborig-
inal Indians, but is largely an agri-
cultural and pastoral region. Belong
ing first to Brazil, then to Argentina,
it finally became a sovereign state in
1928, and though many civil wars have
been fought from time to time, they do
not seem to have retarded her growth
Unique in the politics of the country is
distinctly anti-religious party whose
opposition SENS to be aimed at no par
ticular creed or sect, but at religion in
general, and which appears to have
come from foreign immigration, and
not product of Uruguayan soil.
Miss Mary Shurtz sang beautifully
two groups of songs, accompanied by
Mrs. Ames.
Mrs. ]. l.. Priests article on south
America in Modern Literature" was
most instructive. Brazil takes the prA
ference in literary productions and is
rich in both poetry and prose. The
novels of South America are melodra-
matte and deal mostly with the revolu-
tons. Mrs. Priest quoted from num-
Der of stories laid in South America

Renegades." by o. Henry.
The hostesses, Mesdames Kinyon.
York, Dickinson and Lyman, served
delicious lunch, the decorations being

of two or the hostesses who recently

Mrs. George Steele read a splendid pa
per on the American drama, dealing
with the different phases of the modern
plays. Criticisms of many of the plays
now being produced in New York,
which were mentioned by Mrs. Steele,
were pleasingly read by Mrs. Lynn
Driscoll, who also sketched the outline
of the quaint little play, "Old Lady 81,
by Rachael Crothers. Mrs. Bayard
Griffin charmingly read extracts from
the play. The program was conclud-
ed with an Interpretation of THE Gin

Boise at present. For aside
MI from the enjoyment of again
listening to the music of those
two adorable operas, La Boheme"

Many beautiful women will wear
evening gowns and the boxes will be
filled as usual, with feminine lowell
ness and ldahos chivalry. The past
weeks activities have included many
informal affairs with very few preten-
tious functions. The coming of Mrs
Jerome Day was the signal for much
rejoicing among her friends, who are
many; and while entertaining for her
may be informal, it will be of the in
formal kind which is of the most de-
lightful quality.

carefully selecting the clean streak on
his face, and assured him that Griggs
was q nice man. She watched while
Griggs led the boy by one clean finger
to the servants wing and one Of Its
bathtubs. Then she ran into her own
room. She called up her fathers tall
or, only to learn that 1t would take
three weeks to make the boys clothes.
He could not possibly wait! She
banged the receiver on the hook and
ran through the telephone book till
she found the number of a large mems
furnishing establishment. A dainty
gentleman answered the telephone.
"Send me several of everything a
boy has to have" Gloria demanded.
When the clerk yentured to ask what
his measurements were Gloria an
swered, Measurements? How do /
know? Do you have to have themY'
When he said that he did, Gloria
called for her maid, a pencil, a tape
measure, a piece Of paper. and ran TO
the servants quarters. She was about
to enter one Of the doors when she
caught q glimpse that made her re-
treat.
Old Griggs, with coat OF, sleeves
rolled up, and q towel for apron, was
just lowering the boy into the steam
ing water. He dropped the boy with
q splash and, whirling. flung himself
against the door. He spoke through ii
in a shocked manner, m%otionins the
planned, Griggs opened the door a lit
tie and clutched the tape measure.
He took the boys dimensions and
called them out to Gloria, who repeat
ed them to her secretary-mai6. Griggs
had to thrust his arms into the water
two OF three times to reach the boys
knees and heels. He was most glcri-
ously unhappy.
Gloria ran back to the telephone and
resumed negotiations with the clerk.
When he had Transcribed the numbers,
he promised to deliver the goods in q
jify. A jiffy is a long time to q boy
just out of a tub, and when Griggs
explained to Gloria that Stas' entire
wardrobe consisted of one Turkish
towel and two safety pins, she had
more thinking to do. She solved the
problem by sending her maid to fetch
n pair of her silk pajamas.
BY and by there was a knock at
the door, and Griggs carried in Master
Stas. The pajamas were worlds too
big for him, but he was almost unrec-
ognizably improved-white and pink
with curls Of gold and the eyes of q
cherub. The laundries do not always
went, but Stas had gone out a grimy
pauper and he came back n prince.
Gloria embraced him, called to the
maid for q pair Of her satin mules
for his bare feet, and took him in
her lap and cOmted his curls. He was
her new doll, and she wept a little
into those curls to think that she
would lever have a child OF her own.
She remembered her own childhood
and the nursery where she and her
brother had been INDUCED in every toy
that money could buy or ingenuity in
vent.
She fastened up to the great roc
which she had not visited for years.
Poor Stas had never had any nursery
besides the streets or any toy except
ritiful makeshift. He did not
really know how to play. Gloria had

recognized his father and Rugged him
with vigor to the amazement of Aunt
Hortensia, who had been invited to
the luncheon so that she and Pierpont
might agree on some new interest for
Gloria. They agreed to postpone the
task till after luncheon. BY that time
Gloria had flown.
As the luncheon neured its last
course Casimir was beckoned out by
an misunderstanding waiter. When he
returned he was evidently suffering q
great emotional strain. He made blum
ders and was SO excited that when
Pierpont rebuked him Gloria took pity
on him and asked him what the trou-
BILE a The captain was aghast.
For q waiter to have personal troubles
during a meal was as bad as for a SOL
der to stop a battle to write a letter
home. But Gloria was 'she who must
be obeyed."
Casimir told her that he had just re-

sent back from the hospital. He broke

Gloria was furious. She proposed
to investigate the hospitals and turn
out The fends in charge. Meanwhile
she insisted on going to Casimir's
home and taking Casimir with her.
She paused only to telephone Doctor

with the horn and drum. He pounded
and blew till Gloria covered her ears.
He tried to climb the hobby horse
with the drum still on. He got off
head first on the other side, but he
soon mastered the fierce steed.
His attention was attracted by q pic
ture of Indians on the walls. They
were doing a scaIp-tango about a white
captive. Stas wanted to know all
about 1t. He had thought Gloria an
angel before, but she grew still more
wonderful when she told him that she
herself had been an Indian captive.
He seemed to be a trifle disappointed
when he learned that she had never
been honored by being tied to q stake.
She saved herself a little by explain
ing: II might have been worse than
tied to a stake if / hadn't been res
cued by Mr.. Fre-I mean, Doctor
Royce"
Then she fell into such a deep med
itntion that Stas could hardly recall
her to finish the story. It was not yet
ended when the. butler and the second
man marched In with two towers Of
p~asteboard boxes-Stas' trousseau had
arrived.
Now there WIS excitement, indeed.
and Gloria and Stas forgot the mere
Indians In the thrill Of dressing and
being dressed. Gloria began to fear
that she had adopted a hopeless fop
when shc saw how Stasl strutted In
his nnery. In his knickcrs md frilled

about the barges did not appeal to.
Gloria as desirable Samaritans to ask
for help.
Another of Gloria's impulses stirred
her feet almost against her will. She
ran along the wharf, crossed a plank
to the Trask barge, and went to the
cabin hatchway. She heard voices of
anger coming up. The girl was up
braiding her father for deserving her
and accusing him Of a further crime.
She was crying Historically.
"You killed him. He is dead and
you killed him."
The old man denied the charge with
frenzy. He laughed at 1t, swore that
he was innocent. The girl was al
ready persuaded and this so erraged
Gloria that she darted down the steps
and cried out at Trask:

The boy began TO cough, to turn red
and purple in the face, and to shake
with paroxysms.
20, dear! 0, dearl" Gloria moaned
"he's had a bath, and it's given him
pneumonia. The doctor! Quick,
must get him to the doctor"
DR.. Stephen Royce was trying to
practice the proverb, physician, heal
myself" He was dressing the wounds
Of battle he had received the night
before in Gloria's defense. He was
plastering his fist and approving 1t for
its good work when a caller was an
nounced. 1t was Lois Stafford. She
had repented of her affair with the
dead Freneau and was trying to live 1T
down. Idleness was beth temptation
and distress. She wanted to know if
there was not some work she could do.
Royce told her that there were always
poor people in plenty and lonely sick.
He gave her the address of some of
his patients who would never pay,
but whom he treated with none the
less care.
AS she was leaving she met Gloria
coming in with the boy. Royce vas
disguised because Gloria looked angry.
He should have teen delighted at the
hint of possible jealousy. Gloria cold
ly informed him of the boys bath
and it's terrible consequences. She
made the boy cough fer tie doctor.
Royce DID not seem to be as much
impressed as Gloria had been. He
set the boy to laughing and got him
to put out his tongue by making faces
at him which the boy Knocked. Then
he said:
"It's nothing. Just a little tickling
in the throat, EN-"
II guess so" Stas confessed. II am
tickled all over"
He gave the boy q lozenge for medi-
cine and turned to Gloria. She asked
him again why he had tried to deceive
her about the delirium.
"Why don't you tell me the truth
now? What is Lois to you?"
Royce protested that Lois was moth
ing to him and that a doctor has his
secrets-like a priest. Gloria was furi-
ous. She gathered up the child and
was about to storm out, but she
paused, meditated, whirled, and went
TO him impulsively.
Forgive me. You saved my life
twice. You fought for me then, why
against me nowT
He answered sadly, IL am mot fights
ing against you, Gloria. Some day
ycu will know it, but not from meg
Gloria went out sadly and Royce in
dulged in q little deiiriun of his own,
cursing his luck In managing always
to have his devotion misunderstood.
He was glad that Lois repented her
llaison with Freneau, but he wished
that she had chosen some other person
for father confessor or some other
time to call.
In the majestic blue dining room
of the Bankers club, Gloria found
Caslmir already installed. Pferpont's
influence had secured the engagement
for him and money had provided the
neat costume that changed Casimir
almost as much as Stas had been
changed. The captain waiter placed q
cushion on q chair for Stas and mo-
tened Casimir to lift him into it.
Casimfr had not yet recognized his
own boy, disguised as he was with a
bath and rich mems clothes. But Stas

ming as she stepped into the limousine
and told the footman, "The Office !"
The car started and was checked, al
most at once by a tangle of trucks.
Gloria, looking about impatienFly,
caught sight of Nell Trask and Ter
father just leaving the opposite tie ae-
ment. She recognized the old man.
She was ~dumfounded. AS she gazed,
they were lost in the crowd. She saw
that the car could not be turned
around. Every moment was precious.
Impulse told her not to lose this pre-
cious chance. She obeyed impulse.
Without pausing to inform the chauf
feur, Gloria opened the door, dropped
out, and ran after the Trasks. She
picked them up again after a while.
She saw a policeman. She resolved to
order him to arrest the criminal. AS
she hesitated, she saw Trask stop and
tenderly relieve the weary Nell OF
her baby's weight. He fondled and
nuzzled the child and laughed with a
grandfatherly foo,ishness. Gloria
turned away from the policeman.
She followed at a little distance,
wondering what to do. The best. thing
would be, she felt, to find out where
he lived. She followed for blocks.
The Trasks climbed the stairs of the
elevated. Gloria went up after. them.
She took the next car on the same
train. IT seemed that they would ride
on forever. Far uptown theySgot out.
Gloria got out. She trailed them at
a greater distance now because the
streets were sparsely populated. The
street sloped sharply down to the
river. Moored to the wharves where
a number of huge, cumbrous barges.
To n of these the Trasks clambered.
They went down into it through q
cabin door.
Gloria was in n plight. She had
traced her fugitive to his home. But
his home was about to move. A tough
looking tugboat with a tough-looking
crew was already fastening a towline5
