cigar. Mrs. West kept up an endless
IRow of conversation, but Virginia wrap
per herself up in dreamsl and her
thoughts were far away as she sat in the
kindly darkness, hearing her mother $
and Mr.. Holiness voices going on aud
on in q rhymatic flow of sound.
That night when they were up In t1eir
room and Virginia was taking off her
blue satin slippers, Mrs, West was
brushing out her fair hair and the hot
water was running in the little enam-
eled bathroom, Mrs. West looked at
Virginia from under level brows
How did you like Mr.. Holiness" she
asked finally.
Virginia looked up at her mother.
"Why, / don't know, haven't thought
much about it," she returned.
Gle has lots of money" Mrs. West
said after few minutes.
"Why. mother. how did you know
'Eyery one knows. excepting people
| like yourself who don't care for money
aud the things it will buy, blue silk
| fiimonos and satin mules, and hot baths
and freedom from worry" A little note
of sarcasm had come into her voice. She
was looking at Virginia spcculntively
wondering whether Sherman Holmes
were attracted to the girl. or whether it
was she herself he liked and had taken
that means of introducing himself. !.

it were Virginia, it would be wonder
ful match for the girl. He was too old
to he attractive, but Virginia would
need careful managing. If 1t were her
self, what splendid way out of all her
worries.
In the next few days, however, Sher-
man Holmes showed very plainly that it
was Virginia who attracted him. He
thought her the loveliest thing he had
ever known, in her straight white frocks
and large hats with her tragically lovely
eyes full of youth and innocence. Not
for many years had he been SO entirely
bowled over by n woman.
Mrs. West he recognized instantly as
match making mother eager TO marry
her daughter off to wealthy man, but
he did not even care for that fact, and
Mrs. West, covering her own chagrin
in the hope of what this marriage might
bring, carefully effaced herself so that
/ Virginia might have the entire stage to
herself. Other people at the hotel sat
back and watched the play with varying
emotions. There was not mother of a
marriagea6le daughter who did not curl
| her lip in scorn because of the envy in
| her heart, and Sherman Holmes was too
attractive not TO awaken interest in the
younger set even il he had not possessed
! wealth. Everv one thought Virginia the
luckiest of mortals, excepting Virginia
herself. Her mothers clever manage

SYNOPSIS


Virginia West meets Kathleen
Foster at boarding school and. close
friendship ensues. Here also She
meets Jimmy Anderson, who is st
college nearby, aud the two fall In
love. Kathleen becomes engaged at
the same time to another Grant Col
lese man, Billy Lyons, and when the
two girls visit Virginia's home for
the holidays, Mrs. West finds them
strangely grown up. When Viz
ginia's mother discovers the intimacy
between Jimmy and Virginia she de-
termines to break it up, as Jimmy
has no money, and it is Mrs West S
intention to marry Virginia to rich
man. Virginia is brought home from
school in the middle of the spring
term because she meets Jimmy Sc
cretly outside the school limits one
afternoon.
TT WAS at the fashionable hotel in
i the mountains that Mrs. West and
her daughter met Sherman Holmes. He
was good looking man with in
Scrutable eyes and he noticed Virginia
first as she sat waiting for her mother
to come to dinner. Something about
her straight virginia. slimncss relaxed
in the big leather chair attracted him to
tho girl. He thought her unusual, and
he saw beyond her youth to the woman
she would be in a few years.
He guessed her to be slightly younger
than she was and as he passed her
chair he spoke to her casually.
She raised her dark eyes TO his and
his blood stirred. What an astounding
face she had. Not beautiful. but fas
cinating and capable of infinite shades
OF delicate emotion.
He was standing beside her chatting
and Virginia was answering him il
monosyllables when her mother trailet
down the stairs. He turned as Virgins
rose to her feet and saw marvelousl!
pretty woman in an exquisite evening
gown and with meticulously wavet
blonde hair. Beside this, tall darl
child, Mrs. West looked carefully beau
tiful, but a little soulless. She smiled
her brilliant smile, and Holmes intro
duced himself. After dinner he came t.
them on the wide piazza and smoked ;
