When little Constance, their first born was about four years old, she was enrolled along with the other four-year-olds, in the fashionable younger married set in which her par ents moved and in a dancing class that met in a fashionable ballroom in Wash ington Square, Philadelphia. Now it just happened that Isadora Duncan's sister, who had taught Isadora all her terpsichorean airs and graces, was looking for "an opening" and was en- so that the future belles and beaux would be started right on the road 10 debutante popularity.
 There little Constance stayed until she attained the mature age of eight years, when she was moved to a dane. ing class for older children.
 The class in which she now was en. rolled was taught by a young woman who was reputed to be the greatest amateur dancer in New York society, Little Constance was fired with the ambition to surpass her teacher. Just at this time the great PavloWa mada her appearance in the country and that settled the matter once and for all in the little girls mind and never once did she swerve in the years that have followed.

So the Boston relatives borrowed Con- stance from school during the Easter vacation for charity fete and Win throp Ames was one of the guests.
 At once the little girl received a very lucrative offer and a two years contract with Ames which expired not so very long ago, and during which time she was starred in musical come dies and was lent to a musical comedy for short term. It was while be1ng

 After the operation she was sent to Scotland to some more relatives for the Binney family tree has struck it's roots into every nook and cranny of the globe-where she spent the tire summer. By this time the war clouds were beginning to pile up abroad and it was thought best to send the little girl home-cured, as the family thought, both of appendicitis and stage aspirations.
 Once back in this country, she was sent to that haven for all debutantes- to-be, the fashionable finishing school al Westover, Conn.

Footlights vs. Cupid

For eight weeks, until that blessed nic+ure was made, this strenuous life was kept up, and when it was pro- duced both Binneys became famous in the eyes of moving-picture corpora lions. No less than four splendid offers were made them. "Frltz1e" nassed on to a position as leading 1adv with John Barrymore, but Con- stances stage contract was still hold ing.
 Another allurement away from the staea presented itself to Constance last spring when so many officers were leaving to serve their country abroad. for a lieutenant, with his new shoulder bars, all bright and shining, well-born, well-bred, the son of a prom inent composer, wanted to make the young girl his war bride. For about a week the issue hung in the balance, then came the offer to enter the cast of the "Oh Lady! Lady!!" company for the entire season, and the lieuten- ant, just as fashionable society had done, lost The stage won.

 The young girl refused all, saying that she preferred a lesser salary and the stimulus afforded by an audience. When the offers became more persist ent, however, she suggested that her sister might do. Frederica-"Fritzie" the family calls her-was going along In the conventional "sub-deb" way,

MISS CONSTANCE BINNEY

When one moving picture director heard that there was another like Con- stance at home he pricked up his ears and showed his genius by announcing that he would take both if "Frltzle' would screen as we'll as Constance write two leads into his scenario ana star both.
 When he saw "F'ritzie' the play was rewritten at once.
 Then followed-for Constance at least-a very hectic, scrambly sort or life, for she scrambled out of bed at in the morning, reported on location at 9:3o, sometimes miles away from home; scrambled away from the studio o,, location at 5:3O and reported at the theatre in time to be dressed and see that curtain go up at 8:l5.

with never a longing outside her own well-bred little world, attending the fashionable dancing classes and also school at Concord, Mass, and with no thought of following in her sisters footsteps. For seven years "Fritzie" had made her home with an aunt, so her life had been entirely separate from that of Constance and no stage glamour had seeped through to her.

Off to a Convent

Mrs. Binney, remembering her early longings, encouraged the child to prac- tice, sent her to see all the celebrated dancers that appeared and helped her r,l every way. But every other member Of the family, even to the most re- mote western branches, opposed it, ridiculed it, and sought to instill in the minds of the child and her mother the necessity for her acquiring the usual fund of information required by a sue cessfu1 debutante. They held out be- fore her the balls and dinner-dances they would give in her honor when she made her debut.
 This went on until Constance was fourteen years old, when the weight of the opinions of the combined members of the Binney family Horace Binney, the noted lawyer, was one of the an cestors who had to be lived up to) was brought to bear upon the child's father, with the result that he held a family council, then laid down the law as ex- pounded by it's head: We will have no more of this nonsense. We will have no professional dancer in our family If staying here furthers this idea in Constance's head off she goes to Eu- rope, where she will forget all about it."
 So a few short weeks later found Constance installed in a very, very beautiful convent near Paris. where al! the students were either princesses or marquises and where the little girl was enrolled only because of the in f1uence brought to bear by the Com tesse Camporeali, a former Miss Bin ney, and Harold Binney's closest friend Marquis de Schambrum, whom Constance called Uncle Pierre" 0 close was the tie between the two men. He had married a Miss Sto-er, of Chi cago, whose brother married a sister of Representative Longyyorth, the for ner Alice RooseveIt's husband
 Tine princesses bored the little American almost to extinction. and the only thing that aroused any in- tcrest in the youngster used to the democracy of her beloved United States was the dancing class that was held semiWeelIly, and in which she wor all sorts of triumphs as soIo dancer.
 Just as Constance decided that she could not stand it another minute, that she would have to run away and try to swim home or sornetfine, like that, she was delighted to G,.l that she had appendicitis and would have to be operated upon.
