The Charm of Eighteen
SYNOPSIS
Virginia "West when stio enters
boardliifr Rchool Is a child, but asso
ciation with Kathleen Foster, oue of
the older girls, influences her in n
Rrpftt many ways nnd nt the Christ
man holidays Mrs. West finds Vir
ginia grown up. Doth Virginia and
Kathleen have become inteicsted in
two men from Grant College. In fact
Kathleen claims that she is engaged.
JIMMY ANDEBSON and Hill Lyons
accepted Mrs. 'West's dinner invita
tion with alacrity. Virginia was quite
wild with excitement, and grateful In
the extreme In her mother for planning
tho nffalr. The afternoon before the
dinner Mrs. West went to Virginia's
room directly after lunch and asked her
what nlic was going to wear. Kath
leen, -who had gouo out to lunch with
a friend of her mother's who was in
town for thn holldajs, was not present.
"I'd wear the llltle yellow dress it I
were, you," Mrs. AVcst said, snroothly.
"Hut Mother, t look so young in
that." Vlrginin protested.
"Don't you want to look jounc?"
Mrs. 'West's yolec was amused. "When
you get to be ns old as I am, joull
want to wear frockH that mako you
look as young as possible. By the way,
what is Kathleen going to wear?"
"I don't know."
"Well, X hope it is something simple.
Kathleen's taste is apt to run to the
extreme. That hat with tho aigrette
is much too old for her. Why is it that
girls of your age always want to make
ourselves as old as you can?'.'
"Why Mother. I don't think that hat
is too old. Kathleen looks stunning in
it, it just suits her."
Mrs. West laughed. That the hat
suited Kathleen, wus no doubt true,
and if Mrs. West had known flint that
.toung woman was planning to wear the
dress that had been forbidden at school,
there is no doubt of the fact that sho
would havo been surprised. But, tak
ing for granted that Knthleon would
have simple school frocks, and inas
much, as the girl did not come in tilt
after 4 o'clock, Mrs. West made no
further inquiries and it was not till
-he saw tho girl in tho living-room
talking to Air. Allen that she saw
Kathleen dressed for dinner.
Mr. Allen, taking advantage of his
old friendship with tbf family, was the
first to arrive, and Kathleen, in her
very extreme frock, had turned tho bat
tery of her eyes full upon him. When
Mrs. West found them, he was quite
obviously fascinated, and even Mrs.
West, in pink chiffon with her blonde
head carefully marcelled, could not cope
with this 'radiant young thing who was
outh personified.
When Virginia came in she knew that
her mother was provoked at something.
In fact, something had told Virginia
when she saw Knthleen get tho dress
out that Mrs. West would not liko it
and she had told Kathleen so.
"You know they wouldn't let you
wear it at school."
"But we aro not at school now,"
"I know, but you look so old."
Kathleen widened her eyes. "And
why not if. I want to and don't mind
my age?" And she had laughed and
had worn the dre3s.
The arrival of tho two other guests
gave Virginia no opportunity to ttpeak
to her mother, and besides sho hnd eyes
for no one but Jimmy when he came
into the room. She did not even notice
until thc.v were seated at the candle
lighted table that Mr. Allen was Heating
Kathleen and that BUI was doing the
same for Mrs. West. Over the bowl of
tlowcrs in the center of the table. Vir
ginia saw her mother's eyes glint
dangerously. It made the girl uncom
fortable and took away much of her
own enjoyment, but she was too radiant
In hn nnlinnnv for lone.
Bill J.votin was verv silent during the
menl. Kathleen hardly spoke to him,
in fact she snt with one smooth shoulder
almost i (instantly turned in his direc
tion, wlilln the chatted with Mr. Allen.
Virginia and .linimy were quite absorbed
in each oilier and saw very little of
what waB coinc on about them. Jimmy
was oulte flagrantly making love to
Virginia. He was deadly in earnest
nnd was making the most of his oppor- I
tuuity. He was quite sure that lie!
wanted to marry this girl and his eyesl
told her so every time he looked into )
them. I or Virginia, tne limner wus u
success, even though she could not help
feeling the undercurrent of displeasure
nnd she disapproved lolenlly of Katli
ken's treatment of BUI.
Afterward she spoko to Kathleen as
they stood together for n moment.
"You're treating Bill terribly, and
Mother doesn't like it."
Kathleen shrugged her shoulders and
turned townrd Mr. Allen, but instead
she met Bill's eyes nnd saw that Mr.
Allen had gone into me nuiary nun
Mrs. West.
(Tomorrow, Jimmy Asks Virginia to
Marry Him.)

The soloist of the concert was Thad

for violin of VIcuxtcmps. Mr. Illch
played with his usual oeauty of tone

the concert thoroughly.
The orchestra had just returned from
a long and arduous trip to the West,
nnd although tired showed no evidences
of it in their plaving. In fact, they
knew they were playing beforo a body
of their friends, and there was more of
that indefinable intimacy between per
formers nnd audience thun usually man
ifests itself in a lonccrt of the scope of
last evening's. Nevertheless, to those
who havo been accustomed to hearing
the orchestra in the Academy of Music
it was again brought borne, foreiblv that
the Metropolitan Opera House is nol
the best possible auditoiium for an
orchestral concert.
The program was made up of two

plenty of jazz." And all this music is so easily possiblo on a
