 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XL1lI
 It was desolately unhappy sally who began what she considered me unhearable task of living those two years which Courtney Barr had de- creed should separate the orphah' Sally Ford, from society debu- tante. Sally Barr. A dozen times, al least, during those first few weeks she would have run away, straight to David Nash. if she had not given her word of honor both to her mother and to her mothers hus- band.
 But. almost insensibly, she be- gan to enjoy life again. It was a soul-satisfying experience to have an apparently unlimited supply Of spending money and the most beautiful wardrobe of any girl in the little Virginia city to which Courtney Barr had taken her. For many days almost every mail brought her q package from Ne" York. addressed in Enid Bars sur prisinely big handwriting She and her mother wrote each other twice q week. and Enid carly formed the habit of sending her . weekly budget of clippings from the papers about the social set m which the Barrs moved 50 bril- liantly-"so you will become ac- auainted with the names Of those who will be your friends, as End wrote her daughter.
 Gradually the unreality Of her new position and of her future eN- pectations wore off and Sally came 10 regard herself as really the daughter of the Courtney Barrs.

 She rcproachcd herself for not mourning constantly for David, but she knew that not for an instant were her loyalty and love for him threatened by her strange new cN- pcricnces And. although she had given her promise not to write 10 David, she composed long, intimate letters to him every week, putting them away in her trunk in the con fident belief that he would some day read them and love them. be- cause she had written them.
 She told him everything in these letters she could not send-told him of the two or three nice boys who declared their puppy love for her: confessed. with tears that blistered the pages. that she had let one ot them kiss her. becase he seemed so hurt at her first refusal: de scrihed her new clothes with child like enthusiasm; tucked snapshots of herself in the enchanting new dresses between the folded pages, in fact, poured out her heart to him far more unaffectodly than would have been possible If she had been mailing the letters.
 Not feeling at all that she was breaking her promise. she sub scribed 10 The Capital City Press and to the college newspaper avidly searching them for any news of David and jealous|y board ing the clippings with which her diligence was rewarded.
 In this way she learned that he was elected president of the junior
