1t wasn't 50 easy. Betty had all those
qualities which men, as husbands.

unwilling to pay anything at all.
She was kind, generous. admirine
helpful and very attractive. She had

pale blue whites TO them-eyes in
which people had the sensation of
drowning. She also had a lovely little
round figure and danced beautifully.
At first everyone had assumed Betty

lines had fallen among rich and fay

Betty felt she would rather be a
Tage-earner in New York than a wife
IN the jungle; and therefore it became
necessary to find her a Job.
Unfortunately the jobs open to shell
tered fashionable young ladies are not
only rare but apt to be slightly fraud
ulent. Betty declined to position as re-
ceptionist for great dressmaker. when
she found it meant bringing in new
business. She refused to become as

She accepted the position of office
manager to DR.. Claudius Boone.
DR.. Boone was a man from one OF
the Balkan countries. He had de-
veloped a most successful technique
IN curing the mental-or as he said
psychic ills of the idle rich. who, his
enemies said, were Just as idle though
far less rich, by the time the doctor
had finished with them. 1t was really
quite extraordinary. Betty reflected,
how everyone analysts, medical men
and surgeons, who had never been
agreed on any point. now spoke against
Dr.. Boone with one voice.
The whole thing was settled in one
interview. She went to see DR.. Boone
in a high somber restful office, In
which she saw nothing very clearly ex-
cept the doctors remarkably brilliant
light gray eyes. He was slender, pale,
bearded man, with very small beauti-
full hands, and these curious eyes which
seldom took the trouble to meet yours,
but when they did. were like flash Of
lightning.
Betty sat in the patients easy chair,
and talked too much-as IS the habit
Of amateurs looking for a job. Il do

anything regular and serious in my
life :"

for me not to engage you. Miss Plat"

years to do just what I want you to

Betty went out walking on air-not
only because she had a job, but because
her future employer had seen so
shrewdly the only quality she had.
She found the work intensely inter-
esting. Each day she learned new and
unsupported facts about human ma
ture. She not only received the patients
and prepared them to a certain extent
for their interviews with the doctor,
but she wrote up the cases-under the
strict anonymity of initials Mrs.

One of Betty's feminine charms was
