Gloria had few sorrows of import
ance, beyond the occasional disap-
pointment her examination records
gave her. The chief OF her disappoint-
nents was her brothers marriage to
Lois. She never had liked Lois and
had never underS.ood her charm.
Lois had taken little interest in
winning the approval of women. She
had played a part in winning even
David's serious interest. She never
cared for him. but she could not re-
sist the wealth and prestige of his
name She was bitterly disappointed
in him when after the honeymoon
was over he expressed his unwilling
ness to live on his fathers money and
vowed that he would earn his own
way by his own energy The life of
travel and gayety that Lois had
planned was taken from her.
Gloria had a staunch little heart and
she kept her word to her father. She
kept faith. too, with her fiance five
years removed. She fell into the habit
of talking to his photograph. When
she was tempted to forget that she
was solemnly betrothed young per
son she would find strength in his
image to be austere and TO deny her
self many of the gayeties OF the school
or CT her companions in the gorgeous
resting places where she spent her
vacations
1t was quaint and bitter irony
that the eyes in Freneau's photograph
should have had SO pious an influence
while mis- own eyes were devoted to
casting such evil spells.
