SYNOPSIS
Virginia West outer bomdlng
school nnd becomes erjr friendly
with Kathleen Foster, one of the
older girls. 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. .

(Tomorrow, Mr. Allen enters.)

Eighty-five Philippine young men and

Music for Christmas Without Too Great
a Strain on Your Pockethook
A good phonograph that can play all disc records would carry '
Christmas" into whichever home it might go, for it carries the
music for any mood.
The Solotone Phonograph Is $100
and is orje of the finest moderately priced instruments on
the market. The tone quality is exceptionally pure and the
high tones are delightfully clear and light, with none of the
blaring sound that is so disagreeable. Any good music on the
Solotone is a joy, for the sound chamber is large and brings
out the best of a record.
There are many good points that distinguish the Solo
tone from other instruments. It has a modulator that regu
lates the strength of tone, and, as it is on the outside, one
can adjust it after the lid is down and the playing has begun.
Not only is the motor of the Solotone noiseless, but
unusually durable, and there are no annoying surface noises.
You may choose a Solotone in a new Adam style with a
rich brown mahogany-finish, or with a fumed oak finish,
$5, Dotjun and $5 a Month
These terms apply not only tq the Solotone, but also to
all tho other phonographs and Victrolas in the Little Phono
graph Shop.
