proving that the Chevrolet Six is the mostr

Nh EANII ME, CaSS was engaged IN
Iva an interview with the great
Mrs. Cleespaugh. Cass had been
resting after helping Lame with the
important business Of dressing. She
was summoned from her room by a
hustered Mrs. Snithers.
"Miz Cleespaugh's downstairs ask
ing for you," whispered the land
lady, round-eyed, at the door.
Outside, the twilight of late June
was deepening. The scent of flow
srs which had burgeoned in the full
heat Of the day came up from the
little garden-the sweet, bracine
odor Of the evergreen trees which
banked Mrs. Smithers' front YER
anda.
Cass, feeling lanquid and vaguely
surprised, smoothed her hair and
went down to the "parlor," where
on a horsehair sofa with crocheted
tides" spread over its arms waited
the imposing, the redoubtable dow
ager, Mrs. Cleespaugh.
She was gracious this evening
more gracious than Cass ever had
known her to be in their brief and
casual encounters.
so nice of you to come down
Stairs, said Mrs. Cleespaugh in that
clipped, assured voice Cass had
come to associate with the New
York society woman. Such women
she had previously found immensely
formidable.
This was especially true when
they were about the age of the
woman before her-old enough to
dare to be frumpy, rich enough to
be rude as a queen, arrogant and
Indifferent to the feelings of lesser
mortalS.
Cass found it difficult now. as al
ways, to believe that such woman
actually had suffered the common
llls' had borne children, known
heartbreak and wept and endured,
1t scarcely seemed credible.
Now Mrs. Cleespaugh, in a gra-
cious mood, was more believable as
a human being than usual.

Who was she to stand in the girls
