1.-TWO evenings a week, Sundays
and one weekday afternoon. It's
quite fair"
Virginia thought she could hardly
imagine herself not at liberty to go
and come as she liked, but beggars
cannot be chooserS, she reminded
herself sharply.
I'll take it," she said firmly.
"It will not be permanent until
after two weeks trial." Mrs, Phelps
informed her. o"Shan 1 have Miss

IF you will"
Virginia was told to come UP
right away. After a few minutes
more with Mrs. Phelps, during
which she received some helpful
hints, she took a cab to the tower
ing apartment building that shell
tered the GernSner family.
She had given the address to the
driver before she realized that she
could have taken a bus and saved
some money.
"I'll have to be more careful" she
admoniShed herself impatiently, not
knowing that one no more learns
to be poor in day than to be rich.
She was admitted to the private
foyer by a butler in magnificent
uniform. Virginia stared at him in
amazement before she remembered
that such startling sights were
probably to be expected in this
family.
Above his crimson coat the mans
dark, mustached face beamed, and
he returned her stare with interest.
Whats your name?" he asked,
not at all imperSonally.
Virginia told him and when he
had gone to announce her she sur
veyed the foyer in which she had
been left to wait with amused en-
gagement.
Mahogany coat racks, hung with
a miscellany of other garments of
various sizes, stood in row against
one wall, partly hiding a highly
colored Autograph from sight. Vir-
GINA felt it no loss.
There was a Spanish chest and a
Hepplewhite chair beside it; an
Italian refectory table and a big
Chinese vase placed squarely in the
center if it.

her shortly.

and led the way to door at the end
of the foyer.
For the life of her Virginia could
not avoid smiling at his gorgeous
comic-opera back. He opened the
door-and walked through it, In
side he held it open for Virginia to
enter.

as she came in, and Virginia all but
jumped.

You see, I must protect my clients"
she explained slnilingly.
"Well, now that you know who

Certainly, my dear. But you can
readily understand that you will

should send you to anyone who is
familiar with the names in the So

admitted.
occasionally, however, I have a
client who. is not interested in So
ciety. One came to me late yes

not say that think the position is
ideal for you, Miss Brewster, it does
offer the advantage of almost Ger

point is, just what is your need for

that. People do not put their worst

inquired doubtfully.

"But if she is not interested in
society, as you say, what would her
social affairs be?"
"It is only my opinion, but I
should say she will want to play
