SYNOPSIS
Virginia West enters bonrdlns
school find Is strangely drawn toward
Kathleen Foster, the School's leader.
The two become, friends, but when
Kathleen discovers that Virginia is
not willing to be led ns the other girls
are she is astounded.
Virginia Unearths a Talent
THE school wan to give a little musi
cal play, a lilting thing pet in the
time o Napoleon in a girls' convent.
Kathleen, secure in being asked to take
n leading part, was not disappointed,

cuised and the parts given out the was
selected to play the leading male part
tnat ot a young toiuicr uguuus ra"
TJannlpnn.
Kathleen skimraed the part and found
it to her liking. , She sat apart from
the others, humming under her breath
tha principal song which she was to

"fcet uniform making love to Bunny
Heron, who was 10 pia i'm
appealed very strongly to her. Sud
denly, as she was reading, a remark from
come one in the chattering group cqught
her attention. It was Miss Meeker,
one of the faculty, who spoke, and w bat
he said was:
"It's really the big part "of the play
hnd much the haidest to-ftll.
Kathleen was listening now, her quicu
eyes skimming over the cast ?
"I don't know who could take it,
come one else was saying.
"What part is that?" Kathleen ask
ed suddenly, strolling up to the others.
'The rogue," Miss Meeker explained.
"11 will take a small girl and one with
lots of charm. Tou see. this humbug
song is the big thing in the play.
"I know who could play it. some
one said suddenly. "V irginia c-
Every one stared at Virginia, and she
expostulated laughingly.
"Why, I couldn't. I've never been
Jn a play, let alone taking a part like
MUs Meeker was .studying Virginia
thoughtfully- Her vivid dark face, the
rassiooato black eyes, the firm lips, a
thread of scarlet in her face and her
feuffy hair. Thero wero possibilities
here! Certainly Virginia could be made
to look the part. However, the- main
thing was to forget herself n the role,
to be bewitching, a little bit naughty.
Miss Meeker had always thought of
Virginia as a quiet kind of a girl.
"Can you sing?" she asked sud-
devfr'ginia flushed. "Why. no. Miss
Meeker. Of course, I've always done
It more or less at home for my own
amusement."
IIT At man liflrp -CAM & biff VOiCC.
This song can be talked, but it must be
done with charm, suppose you uj u.
I'll play the accompaniment.
Virginia protested, but the, others in
sisted laughingly, and Miss Meeker went
tb the piano. Virginia, with the book
in her hand, was skimming lightly over
L L..M.l.ir tnntr. Tt WAS a SlHlDle
thing, with charming words unusually
. v" mi : hlnfi true in
clever woras. ino m.iu i...uh -set
these words across. Miss Sleeker
fi..i. u ,.! VinM nnd Virelnia
began 'to sing. Almost instantly she
she was the gay vagabond mocking
ber audience:
"Purabug, humbug, every mind has
some bug.
Every bonnet has its bee, and eyery
bead's a hive; -
TT6 some it is a money bug, to borne
it is a funny bug,
It's humbug, humbug, humbug, hum
bug, keeps the world alive."
She was adorable, whimsical, arching
her eyebrow,i using little tricks that
the others had not thought her capable
of. There was a shout of delight from
the girls as she finished, but Virginia
was conscious suddenly of a cold look
in Kathleen's eyes !athlccn, to whom
the girl turned .first for approbation,
tt took all the joy of conquest away
from her, but she was so quickly sur
rounded by the others that sho hadn't
time to think much about It jitRt then.
They flattered her, Bchoolgirl fashion.
"Why didn't you tell us you could
act like that? Won't she be sweet,
Miss Meeker, in that ragged suit of the
peddler's? You'll bo the hit of the plav.
Virginia," and other remarks .of the
kind.
Afterward she went 0er to Kath
leen and slipped a hand into hers. She
was eager for Kathleen's praise ; she
wanted it more than she had wanted
all the flattery from the others, but
Knthlccn did not give it.
It was on the tip of Virginia's tongue
to say. "Did you like it?" But sho bit
the words back, and from that time on
all through the rehearsals Kathleen
gave no word of praiso to Virginia. It
took the pleasure of it out of the young
cr girl, but it did not lessen her love
and ndmiration. Kathleen was still
the most wonderful girl in the world,
but ench time after the play wns re
hearsed Kath.lcen was cold and distant
to Virginia : 'she held herself nloof and
made no effort to be eharming. Once
during the piny Mlsi Sleeker told her
(lie was stiff in the love scene. Kath
leen took it out on Virginia later be
cause Virginia had never received any
thing but praise.
(Tomorrow The night of the play.)

An Extra Pillotv
Save this winter's stockings instead
of throwing them away us soon as they
go into boles. When next summer comes.
and the porch pillows are found to be
hard and rain-sonked, get out your
worn-out stockings, cut them into bits
and use them to stun another pillow
case. They arc soft nnd comfortable.
Dress Economy
When you start to throw away your
torn silk petticoat, stop a minute and
glance ever the ruffle. If that is still
good, be sure to rip it off and save it
uutil a silk frock wears out. Then put
the ruffle on the edge ot that and
change its name from skirt to petticoat
