laugh is loud and his assurance is
stupendous. He wears a toupee on
his forehead and a carnatiOn in his
buttonhole. These are just a few of
this young mans talents and ac-
complishments. 1.-THE Show-Off" is
the most attractive of comedies and
one that can be heartily recommend

CHAPTER IA

Sally Livingstone Peake died OF
typhoid fever in her thirty-third year.
Her will was opened in the offices OF
Marlowe Livingstone, her uncle, and
whatever surprise it caused was anti
climatic. 1t was popularity supposed
that she had brought something sub
stantial to the Peake estate. If so, it
had been absorbed into the larger body,
leaving no trace. Possibly the tobacco
failure which preceded Cato Living
stones suicide had swept away his
daughters small fortune. A few re-
pOrters who saw the will on probate
file and were instructed to suppress its
details, argued the case out Of court.
The Elders of the Satsuma Clan craned
their deaf ears for sounds of scandal.
Sally had left practically nothing.
Matty Washington, the ancient
colored cook, came in for a small an
nuity. There were trunkfuls of old
clothes for Samantha, a personal maid.
Gifts for the servants scaled down to a
box Of damaged dolls for Zeenia, the
coachman's paralytic child.

CHAPTER'15

Margaret had changed her frock for
something equally sombre in shaG.3. If
less severe in cut. Before the tall
black walnut mirror that loomed beside
her bed she had stood longer than
usual, dreaming and patting the big
black ribbon in her hair. Do what she
could to fight it down, there was
jealousy in her heart. She tried to
convince herself that she loved this
rusty bedroom with it's accumulation Of
school pictures, romantic engravings
and hanging shelves Of girlish books.
This had been her special domain ever
since Linda had moved her out Of the
nursery. She had enjoyed the idea of
keeping this room always. Even after
she married. Her mother had
lived her life in the Oval Chamber and
died in her Venetian bed with four
golden swans guarding her sleep.
