The approach of the Yale. Princeton game, the autumn awak- ening of winter festivities, lent to Venice in the ensuing weeks a deepening depression and yearning for what she did not seem to be able to achieve. She moved in a meaningless eddy in which she was not able to catch at single stab- ilizing plank. When she tried to withdraw her mother pushed her
 into the eddy again. One party after another saw her steal home unaccompaied at midnight. Gin

de1ella parodied
 The one bright spot that lent her a feeling of warmth was her visit to Molly Spalding. These visits were periodic, every three weeks or | so.
 The Spaldings had originally come from Baltimore. Financial re- verses had forced them to New York in the hope that MT. Spalding would secure better position. He never did. They sank into genteel poverty, living in a small apart ment in Ninety-sixth street, slip ping quietly and uncomplainingly from the ken of the society to which they rightfully belonged. Mrs. Spalding and Mrs. Muir had gone to boarding school together and deep affection existed be- tween them. Molly Spalding was tWenty-six, three years older than Venice. III health and infirmity made her seem much younger. She was very lame, dragging one 1 nder-developed little leg about with her in resigned and cheery indifference. The one excitement in her life was Venices visits and the accounts of her gaiety. The two girls were as fond of eacn other as their mothers were before them E
 It was the year Of Venice's debut that the game had started Venice always thought of it like that Nolly's game. Molly had thoroughly expected and believed that her darling Venice was going to make a tremendous social success. It was at first purely the desire not to disappoint her that had caused Venice to brag of social triumpas which never existed. Later it be- came habit that eased her own longing. She would lose herself in the tales of her own manufacture until she momentarily believed in them herself.
 On this particular afternoon the two girls sat close to the gas logs, a bleak November rain tapping cheerlessly against the window pane and mocking the emptiness of their condolences. Molly made herself comfortable on a cuhion on the floor, the pathetic leg beneath her, her dark, wizened little face paint ed pink by the flames. It was a bright, eager face, elfin in it's sharp, puckish contours and hold ing nothing of pathos. Oddly enough, Venice's expression was the graver, more wistful of the two. The freight bringing out. the copper of her hair accentu- ated the gravity of her grey eyes, the fragile whiteness of her skin, the sad, childlike droop of her small mouth. She was on the floor too, hugging her updrawn knees, her back against a chair.
 Tell me apout Lola's party Molly demanded eagerly.
 Tt was lovely. Shaded lights and lots of flowers and Leo Reisman's orchestra. They play at the Gen. tral Park Casino, you know"
 Did you get any new beaux?"

 How lovely. And I suppose you couldn't get around the room more than once without some one break ing in on you"
