 CHAPTER x
 "Well, here we are!" Bob said as he deftly swung the car into a wide driveway over which arched the branches of enormous oak trees. 'It's lovely old place, isn't 1t, Joan?"
 Lovely" she agreed. The beauty of Rosewood Manor was actually breath taking. The scene before them was like an exquisite setting from a motion picture of the old south. Huge trees framed the spacious colonial home, white with green shutters. Large columns ex- tended to the roof. Comfortable looking chairs. swings and benches we're scattered about the wide ver- anda. Truly it was beautiful home. Adding a final touch to the charming scene were hundreds of jongils braving the brisk March weather and lining the driveway.
 The car was coming to a stop. Bob switched off the ignition and climbed out.

 Mrs Sheridan, q charming, eld- erly woman. welcomed them at the door. A colored butler and trim colored maid appeared and gath cred up the luggage-Bob's two handsome leather bags and loans small suitcase. supplemented by a hat box. She had used them for three years, and they had been in- expensive when they were pur- chased the year she entered col lege. Nothing had seemed impor- tant to Joan then except the edu- cational opportunity before her.
 The group was standing in a spacious hall with a wide, curving stairway. On the right was a large living room with rich, soft rugs and deep chairs and divans. A log fire glowed in the fireplace. Above the smantel hung portrait. At each side of another door. opening into the music room, were book shelves reaching from the ceiling to the floor.
 Through the open doorway Joan saw more young people, dressed for riding. Sensitive to beauty, she had taken in the surroundings dur
