After time Harle takes the girl
up to Paris. He installs her in q
magnificent hotel. He surrounds
her with the wealth and fashion and
power Of "the world" 1t is here
that Clemenceau registers some of
his most telling thrusts, Financiers,
politicians, women of the drawing
room and Of the intrigues Of Paris
thread their way in and out, daz-

With swift little jabs the Tiger
scores them off. Meanwhile the love
affairs of Claudia begin to stir into
motion, and out Of the crush Of
folk seething about her the Com
tesse de Fourchamp discngages her
self TO become the girls mentor.
A hard, glittering woman Of the
world, this lady, with one eye on
Puymaufray and his estate and the
other on Harle and his millions, has
no d fficulty in entrenching herself
in the confidence of the girl from
the provinces. Does Puymaufray
prote st at the recklessness with
which Claudia abandons herself to
the cxcesses Of Partisan fashions?
"'You must understand that all these

At first the gentieness OF Puy-

him. But gradually, subtly, the
force of the manufacturers code
begins to leave its impress on her.
Here is one little picture from the
early period of the transition. Puy-
maufray has ridden over to the
Harle home. He finds Claudia just
.eaving the house.
"'Good morning. uncle cried a gay
voice from the steps. i was just hav-

harsh IN Claudias youthful face.
