 little of her former social prestige, and there Ellin Mackay's lips must be for ever sealed concerning her father.
 It is certainly a most unusual problem and most perplexing one for girl who loves both her parents as devotedly and as impartially as Ellin Mackay does. Only by the continual exercise of the most skillful tact, can she hope to find a solution that will be satisfactory to her conscience.
 Less fortunate girls who envy Ellin Mackay the luxury of her wealth and social position would probably bs hardly 20 eager to change places with her could they peer into her girlish heart and sec with what misgivings she contemplates her debut and what lies beyond It. Her friends call her serious minded, and well she may be with such a problem. The most difficult and dangerous phase of it is quite likely to some when she falls in love. Suppose that tho man of her choice meets with her fathers approval, but not with her mothers, or vice versa--what is she to do7 How can she escape from such difficult dilemma without breaking her own heart, becom- ing estranged from one of her parents or running her chances of happiness?
 Hers is indeed . problem whose solu- ton cannot be forstold.. Her father wor- ships her and her brother and sister.

ss devotedly and as impartially as she does, it is a cruel blow to think of their being spoken i'll of and to know that wherever she goes in the smart set se is sure at some time or other to reach her ears. Among the hostesses whose invitations she accepts and among the women whom her generous father enter tains for her will be many who are proud to give their hand to Ellin Mackay, but who would scorn to remain in the same drawing room or to break bread at the same table with her mother, Mrs. Joseph A. Blake.
 It will be a surprise to many people to know that the Mackay sisters and their younger brother are on the best of terms with the mother who deserted them and their father when she lost her heart to the family physician, Dr. Blake. The fact that ever since the divorce the children have remained with their father has given rise to the belief that they are estranged from their mother, but this is not the truth of the matter.
 Not only is there not the slightest ill feeling between the children and their divorced mother. but they see each other frequently, and the two girls particu- larly often. It is nothing unusual for Ellin and her sister Katherine to run

 Few if any divorces have made a deeper, more lasting impression on fash ionable society than that of the Clarence Mackays. And this is not to be won dered at, in view of their wealth and prominence and the remarkable circum- stances surrounding Dr. Blake's inva- sion of their home and his bold theft of the beautiful wife's love.
