tractive characters, which will chal-
lenge the interest of all. A young
English baronet. arranging for n house
party with a prominent Chicago wo-
man and her daughter--with whom
he was In love---as the leading
guests, found himself facing Difficult
ties which called forth most extra
ordinary exertions on his part to avoid
contretemps which might have been
fatal to his suit.
His married sister, who had con-
scented to act as hostess. was halted
ut the last by an III child. and he In
duced his cousin. an unmarried wo-
man, to personate her. His favorite
uncle, brewer was induced TO appear
as n retired attache of the Indian Ser
vice, because the Chicago matron WAS
n violent prohibitionist. After great
persuas sion he induced his close friend
and secretary, n gallant soldier of the
World War, to masquerade as a
spiritualistic medium OF wonderful oc-
cult powers. to please the mother OF
his love, who was deeply interested ir

opportunity of conversing with her de
