"Do you, Kathleen? Do you really?"
Virginia's tone was wistful.
"Of course I do. Didn't virtually
admit that you were right about last
night"
Of you. I love for for it." And she
did. Virginia had that clean. upright
nature that glories in the strength of
another to admit herself in the wrong.
Kathleen had cemrntcd their friendship
closer than ever by nice little bit of
strategy. And yet she realized that she
would have to be careful. Virginia
was not to be driven.
Virginia discovered another thing
about Kathleen a few days later. and
that was her extraordinary popularity
among men. 1t was in the hour before
dinner and the two girls were in Vir-
ginia's room. Kathleen had a room
mate and it was difficult to have any
privacy. so that they always went into
Nirginia's room when they wanted to
talk

tion. her charm, the fash of her white
teeth, the queenly toss of her head,
how could men help adoring her? Vir-
ginia had some small misgivings about
the Christmas vacation when she was
to take Kathleen home with her. Per
haps it would be too quiet. After all,
how strange it was that Kathleen Eos
ter. the girl who could have had any
one for friend, should have chosen a
newcomer with no particular attracc :
ton. OF course, Virginia underesti-
mated herself. She had qualities that
Kathleen lacked; qualities that would
be of great value to her some day. This
fact, was demonstrated when the cast
was chosen for the school play, and it
was as much surprise to Virginia as
it was to any one else when she was
chosen for one of the leading parts.
1t came about in this way:

~CLNDERELLA,S DAUGHTER"
When Greek Meets Greek
BY HAZEL DEYO BACHELOR
Copyright, 1919. bV Public Ledger CO.

Virginia West enters boarding
school and is strangely drawn toward
Kathleen Foster. Kathleen is used to
having everything her own way. She
Is n born leader. and Virginia offends
her by not following her lead in the
snubbing of one of the unpopular
girls in the school.
VIRGINIA, who still did not know
Kathleen's impetuous nature. lay
awake a long time after Edna Platt had
left. She was worried aud unhappy.
Not for the world would she have done
anything to incur the displeasure OF
Kathleen and yet it had seemed just as
impossible to hurt poor defenseless
Edna.
The next morning at breakfast Vir-
ginia threw an imploring look across the
table at the older girl. but Kathleen
was busy with her grapefruit and did
Kathleen purposely avoided her. What
she expected was that Virginia would
come to her. admit that she had been
wrong and foolish. and there would be
an immediate forgiveness. But Virginia
did no such thing. She was proud aud
she was hurt. Rather than lose Kath
leen's friendship she would have been
willing to do anything. except to ad
nit herself in the wrong when she felt
that she had done right.
It was the first time that Kathleen
had ever met any girl who had had the
courage of her convictions, and by night
she was certain that Virginia had nc
idea of giving in Kathleen was clever.
She liked Virginia. and she had nc
idea of spelling the friendship between
them. She had discovered that Virginia
was not weak; that she could not be
bullied and there was just one thing
TO do about it. Kathleen proceeded to
do this Just before dinner she went
to Virginia's room. perched on her bed
In the old way and chatted as though
nothing had happened. Virginia was SC
glad to see her that impulsive tears
came to her eyes and she rushed across
the room and threw her arms about
Kathleen. Kathleen put an arm about
the slim girlish shoulders and kissed
her softly on the cheeks. but If Vir-
ginia had looked up she would have
seen nothing of tenderness in Kath
leen's blue eyes. They were hard like
those of an older woman. Kathleen had
capitulsted because she felt that II
was necessary because she felt that it
would ultimately result in the best thing
for her. 80, ans, ,onro,
then" Virginia half sobbed.

And he produced from his pocketbook
funny little tintype that she had
given him on that occasion.

up for all we've missed since then?
Twas all my fault we quarreled."
