Rather to his surprise, Dundee
found the library remarkably well
stocked with books of all kinds,
most of which looked as if they had
been read.
Which Of the Berkeleys was a
bookworm, he wondered. Gigi?
Probably. But the shabbiest books
were not the sort to appeal to a
l5-year-old girl. George Berkeley?
Most likely.
Rather curiously, Dundee selected

CHAPTER FOUR

THE wide front hall of the Ber-
Il kelley mansion extended beyond
the immense circular staircase Of
white marble, which wound upward
70 the third floor, with broad
landing on the second.
A few feet behind the staircase
the hall ended in q wall, with an
ordinary-sized door opening into
what Dundee knew must be the
mysterious regions Of "backstairs,"
devoted to the buffers pantry, back
hall, servants sitting and dining
rooms and kitchen.
Now that door stood slightly
aiar. And from it came sounds
which caused Dundee to abandon,
temporarily, his search for the
library and its telephone.

the door and plunged into the mar

Of the girl was that she was fairy
small and slight and blond. Pale
gold hair curled about her delicately
flushed little face, and was xnotted
in shining bun on the nape Of her
slender neck.
Her dark-blue eyes we're wide
with genuine fear as her black-clad
body strained to release itself from
the embrace Of the drunken son of
her mistress. But Dick, his reddish
brown hair falling in dank wisps
across his sweat beaded forehead,
snatched the girl closer and forced
her to follow his Shambling dance
steps.
The Ianguorous notes Of 'The

penetrated sufficiently to animate
his groggy legs.

VANDERBILT OF

SOCIAL ENIGMA
Worlds Richest Bachelor
CIings to Dirty Room

BY HARRY FERGUSON
United Press star Correspondsnt

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. 16.-In
greasy, cramped boat tugging at
anchor in the harbor here, lives
the enigma of the Americas cup
raceS-Harold Stirling Vanderbilt,
skipper of the Enterprise and the
richest bachelor in the United
States.
All the doors Of Newports most
exclusive homes are eager to swing
wide for this man, lion of the hour,
because Of his mastery sailing that
defeated the Shamrock in the first
two races of the series.
Invitations to balls and dinner
parties are floating on the sea where
he contemptuously tossed them.
Near by is his luxurious power
yacht, on which he could live if he
desired. But Vanderbilt prefers to
dwell on a tender, sleeping in a
narrow bunk and eating hastily pre-
pared food because that tender is
near the Enterprise, g. silver silver of
a craft around which his dreams are
wrapped.
Don't Understand Him
His intimate associates, and they
are few, confess they do not under
stand him.
At the helm Of a yacht, with the
wind in his teeth, they say, he is a
savage, hard-bitten sailor, growing
commands to his crew Of lean Nor
wegians and crowding the sails far
past the danger point.
On the rare occasions when he
comes ashore he is a shy, 46-year-
old millionaire who likes to play
bridge and is willing to give any one
a lift in his automobile.
He is the most obscure Of the
Vanderbilts except when yachting
and contract bridge are mentioned.
He is an expert at both.
Tennis is his only hobby and 1t
was Vanderbilt who befriended an
unknown youngster out of Cali
fornia named Johnny Doeg and
brought him along in the game
until Saturday that same Doeg won
Americas most coveted tennis title,
the national singles championship.
He Hates Dancing
Vanderbilt, 200 pounds of Drawn,
hates dancing, but likes to go to
small, quiet dinner parties where he
can find hand of bridge.
His intimates say he frequently
gets up and leaves in the middle
of party if it becomes too noisy.
His nickname is mike" but he
himself does not know where it
originated.
For four months he has not
touched a cigaret, because he be-
lieveS a person should train as
strenuously for yacht racing as for
football.
SO grim is this business to him
that he has not even bothered to
greet Sir Thomas Upton.

The American Ambassador
to Paris and Mrs. Walter Edge,
with their children, have just
taken up their summer resi-
dence in the Chateau de la
Romeo, a handsome old Six
teenth century structure at
Vile d'Avray. They gave their

season at the embassy in Paris
on July 4, and Mrs. Edge in
tends to do little entertaining
during the summer.
It is we'll known that Vile

most characteristic subjects
there along the borders of the
twin ponds. He favored par
ticularly the valley and the
forest known as the Bois des

occupying the high ground be

lived at that time. Not far

Organdie For
Youthful
Styles
By Wilma La Vile

If there is a person who
doubts the success of feminine
fashions and that their return is
lasting, let them study the
frock we have Sketched today.
1t is romantic in every line and
fold, it is lovely, flattering, and
as feminine as a frock can be.
Organdie was at the height
of its success in the early 1905.
It was worn by the belle of
every ball. 1t was a formal
as silk, as lovely as the imagi.
nation, and it is those frocks
of the 1905 that have in
Spired modern organizes.
Notice the distinguishing
features of this exquisite exam
pie. The square neckline was
worn by our mothers, and is
revived to our advantage. The
Empire sleeves, of course, orig
mated in Napoleon's time. and
are a feature of many evening
gowns this season. The high
waistline and very full skirt
are the very essence of a ro-
mantle age in dress.
Embroidery is an important
part of the vogue for interest
ing textures. and it shows off
to unusually good advantage
on organdies. The cross.stitch
pattern is a bit unusual, and
is done in harmonizing colorS.
This frock is in pale blue or
pale pink, the embroidery max
ing a pleasing contrast on either.
It is unusually lovely for q
young girl, and is, not only a
beautiful addition to your ward
robe, but is also practical, as it
may be worn either for formal
evening wear and for dancing.
1t is from a Washington shop,
and If you want further inforIna-
ton about it, call Miss LaVille
