Virginia gives to Kath leen n clrlHi ndorntlon. but there is n stinin of solidity in Virginia's character tlmt Knthleen munot reach Jlnd Itilluence, try ns she tuny. Kath leen puzzles Virginia with her Midden engagement to a man hc has only jilst met and n man whom Virginia meets through Kathleen fulls under lrginlan si(.. lioth cirlr. aie to spend the holidns at Virginia's home ' In the elty. and Mrs. West, who Is planning to take care of t'wo school girls is astonished when they arrive. V1IM5IXJA. never having approached her mother ujllfniivllilng but little girl confidences could have no idea how Mrs, Vet would fcl about anj thing eNe Itut when Virginia spoke with that wnim note in her voire Mrs West knew that she could have but odc thought in her mind, n tnnn. " on knim Mother." Virginia he pan tentatielj. "things arc so differ ent nt school.'' "Different fioin whatV" "Oh, from things here at home. Poo pie don't eem to think the same nbout thingK, and, of course. 1 never met any men hio. only your friends neer any one my own age." "And so you have met some one your own age nt school?" "Vos, and I'm so eager for you to meet him. Mother " Virginia's cheeks neie Mushed and her eyes were bright. 'Phis was the first time' she had ever talked with her mother on nn equal basis. She had always stood somewhat in nwe of this lovely mother of her3; she had loved to watch Mrs AVcst sitting in her frilly negligee before the dressing tabic strewn with costly trifles, putting a JIner.polfcli on the already shining nails. Vouching the huge puff to her delicate ihouldern and leaving n fine film of powder over the glass top of the table nnden which was stretched a cobwebby lace of the finest quality. Mrs. AVcst would laugh with amused toleiance at Virginia's absorbed face as she would catch the big blacV eyes fixed on her in the mirror. Then she would fay : "Have vou done your lessons for to morrow?" And Virginia would nod n quick yes. "All or them?" Mrs. AVcst would be eager to be rid of the child. "Yob: there wasn't much." "AVhy don't you read then. There's a new magazine on the table in the llvine room " "T'd rather watch you. Mother." And thve had beer something flatter ing abo t K something new and fresh in the pi-ft of her daughter's wide eyes, ae. ye' iot..ethmg disquieting nnd disconcertij. at that. Toda a Mrs. West looked at Vir ginia there was less of the old ad miration and more of the straight ca marndctlo that one unconsciously gives to an equal. A'irginia knew her mother was admired ; now she, too, had an admirer and she was eager for Her mother to know it. It made Mrs. West feel suddenly old. It was one thing to have n daughter who could be ac counted for as a schoolgirl and quite another thing to have a chic young woman descend upon her in this fash ion, a dangerous young woman nt that, because of that wonderful passion, ' youth. 'Mrs. AA'cst rose from the couch, fluttering her draperies and leaving behind her a scent of French perfume. She jnwned prettily and patted her daughter on the head. "You must tell me nbout it some other time, dear ; I must dress for dinner now. I hope you and Kath leen are not going to be silly about boys at your age, A'irginia, it's so foolish." Kathleen came in with her blonde Balr brushed straight back from hpr broad white forehend nnd her beauti ful head thrown bank. Her presence irritated Mrs. West still more. A girl had no business to be so lovely that her hair could be arrnnged as simply aa that. Her own soft brown tresses were curled and arranged with scrupu lous punctility every day. "I am going out for dinner," Mrs. West went on quite clearly. "Han nah will give you girls your dinner at 6, and I hope you will go to bed early. You're, probably used to regular neturs." And with n brilliant little smile Mrs. West trailed her draperies out of the room. Kathleen and A'irginia were left alone in the charming living room with its Wedge wood bowl of rosCs on the onen piano nnd a small fire burning in the grate. Over it on the mantelpiece a French clock ticked out the time lazily, beneath the w-indows raanj stories flowed New York, nnd here they were dismissed like two children and toid to jo to bed early. . I (Tomorrow, Mr. Allen enters.) Come to U. S. Eighty-five Philippine young men and women left Honolulu recently for the United States, where they will enter nnlvcrsttiCB and colleges. They were. part of the 120 pensionados, who are being sent, by the Philippine CSovernment to receive higher training in the Ameri can institutions.
