Chotty was quite awed at the mag

longed to a family whose name was
historic in New York-indeed, all over
the United States.
Up the photographed stairs went
the two girls in their fluttering sum-
mer dresses. Julie Trevor was sit
ting at small table with man, in
the first room to the left. She jump
ed up and greeted Virginia effusively.
"This is Chotty-you know, the girl
I've spoken so much about" said Vir-
ginia, introducing them. "She's just
come to town. She wants to see every
thing. She's all blown up like a
balloon and 1 can hardly keep her
down." Virginia laughed gaily.
Julie accorded an equally effusive
greeting to Chotty. She turned to the
good-looking man at her table, whose
name was Cutting, and presented him
to Chotty. "He's a grand guy" she
whispered archly to the naive new
conner, thrusting Chotty into her place
She led Virginia over to small group
in the center of the room, consisting
of two smartly attired women and a
gigolo.
Immediately, Virginia was asked to
go upstairs and join them in baccarat.
Seeing Chotty flirting happily with
Mr.. Cutting. she consented.

SYNOPSIS

SYNOPSIS
While dancing with Henry Van lyle
a wealthy young bachelor, Julie Trev-
or tries all the lure of her sex to get
him to propose. Julie needed money
and marriage to Henry would solve
her difficulties. Henry is about to
weaken when Willie Krass, his rich,
Out-of-tOwn friend, whom Henry calls
ga diamond in the rough" interrupts
thought flashes through her mind that
and asks Julie for a dance. The
until Henry definitely comes to the
point, Willie could prove useful to her.
Henry Overhears Julie tell Willie that
she does not want children. How
frantic she would have been had she
known that her ill-timed speech was
the death knelI to Henry's proposal.
Next morning, Julie telephones Henry
that she feels fine after the party and
has just returned from a long walk,
when in reality she is in bed being
served brOr(O-seltzer by her maid.
Henry and his friend, George LOOmds,
leave the next day for Henry's stock

ty" BlGyn, Henry's manager, informs
them that Martin, a neighbOring cat
tle-Owner, is having trouble with the
deputy inspector because the Martin

the inspector away. Just then Vir-
ginia Randolph, young southern beau
ty, appears and tries to pacify Martin.
She explains. the farmers. plight to
Henry and he-fascinated by her love-
illness and overcome with an emotion
he cannot analyze-Offers to re-stOck
Virginia again and she invites George
and him to visit her that night. Re-
turning home, Virginia telephones her
friend, Charlotte Wilbertree, nick
named "ChOtty," to come over and
make it fOursOme. The vivaciOus
"ChOtty" is disappointed because Hen
ry is not her partner, but bides her
time. Lefty" Glyn, Henry's man
ager is in love with "ChOtty." After
five days cOurtship, Virginia and
Henry profess their love. Mr.. Ran
dOlph approves of Henry but warns
him that his daughter can be reached
only through her affections. Some
slight from one she loves may become
a tragedy in her eyes. At the Ken

George go to place bet, Henry and
"ChOtty" are approached by "daffOdil''

facts. The whole crowd is gathering
tonight. Something drastic has to be
done! Well have to thrash out our
side of it."
At that moment the telephone rang.
Henry's face lifted a little as he heard
the voice of his young wife on the
line. 1t clouded a trifle, however,
when he heard where she was. That
gambling spot! She had Chotty with
her too. Of course she could take
care of herself-and yet
"No, 1 can't join you darling. Oh,
I know, but I've been up to my ears
in work. Things are in terrible
shape. The deal won't go through I'm
less we work miracle"
Virginia gave a rueful sigh. He
continued, touch of irritability creep
ing into his voice because of the strain
he was under: eyes, dear, I must work
tonight. You've got to understand
that. 1t can't be avoided"
Now Julie had quietly followed Vir-
ginia into the ladies' room, and had
overheard this conversation. Virginia,
her back to the door, had not seen
Julie enter, and now declared: "All
right, Henry, Of course if you can't
get away, you can't-and that's all
there is to it! Goodbye, Henry
and hung up.
At this moment she spied Julie
about to retreat. Disappointment
clearly on her face. she said: Don't
go, Julie. It's all right, I'm through
telephoning. Henry's all tied up in
