SYNOPSIS
Virginia West nnd Knlhlccn Fos
ter meet at boardiug school and aro
Instantly attracted toward tnch other.
The girls ore entirely different In tem
perament, for while Virginia Is loynl
nutl true, Kathleen is essentially
selfish and has a hnrd attltudo to
ward life. Sho becomes rngaKcd to
BUI Lyons merely for tho thrill In it.
nnd when during tho Chrlstmus holi
days Virginia promises to ninrry
.rimmy Anderson, Kathleen is thor
oughly amused.
VIRGINIA flushed scarlet as the two
girls faced each other. "Aren't
,vou going to mnrry Bill?" sho asked.
And then quickly remembering some
thing. "I'oii love him, don't you,
Kathleen. You let him kiss you."
"Now, seo hern, Virginia," Kathleen
returned, n llitlo impatiently, "Hill
Ijyous has no prospects. He's an ndor
nblo boy and very good-looking, but
what; has he to offer ineV. 1 have no
assurance that hi will mako'KOod."
"Then you'ro not going to marry
him?"
"I don't know ; certainly not until T
kuow more about him." And with that
Kathleen quietly dismissed the subject
and was in bed cofore Virginia had bo
sun dreamily to undress. She turned
over Kathleen's wore ncnln nnd ngalu,
but somehow they did not mean very
much with tho memory of Jimmy. What
did it matter bow much money they
had? Iiovo was enough. Why, just to
lira with Jimmy, to suuro what no had
ti-ould bo happiness enough for her. Just
before Bhn fell asleep she wished vague
ly that Kathleen had been more sym
pathetic, but she comforted herself with
the thought that perhaps after all Kath
leen loved Bill better tbau sho real
ized. Virginia sntd nothing to her mother
about Jimmy, which was wise, as Jimmy
was not to graduate until June, and
their plans wcro hazy, to say the least.
Tho Christmas holidays drifted to a
close, nnd on tho day beforo tho two
girls wero to return to school tho four
of them went to a matinee, and after
that to tea at one of the. largo hotels.
Kvcn in her absorption Virginia could
seo that Bill was not quito happy. He
would sit and look nt Kathleen for long
moments, and inasmuch ns Virginia
and Jimmy talked qulto openly of their
plans It wus not very difficult to imag
ine what Bill was thinking about. Vlr
ginia was not so selfish in her lovo that
she had not time to study Bill. Hlio had
grown to liko him very much. IIo hnd
rare moments of humor when his usually
serious faco would light up cliurmlogly,
but lin was not ns sunny ns Jimmy, who
seldom saw the serious sldo of anything.
Bill was moro intense, too. His feelings
did not Ha close to tho surface, but wero
bottled up iusldo him. Sometimes when
Virginia caught a glimpse of tho ulmost
Idolatrous lovo that he gave Kathleen
it made her gasp. Her own lovo nnd
Jimmy's was so safo there was nothing
to. be afraid of, no uncertain depths to
plumb. Jimmy s lovo was nlways there
for her to depend on, and sho expanded
like a flower, under Its influence.

Kathleen had a wnv of leadlnc Bill
on whenever ehn nm with Vlrclnlk and
Jimmy, of saying things that she would
never have said if she had been ulouo
with him. This afternoon, seated around
the table wfth tho wailing of tho stringed
orchestra not too far nwny and the
pleasant teatimo sounds of tdlver against
china nnd of low-voiced conversation,
shf even went so far as to slip her An
gers into his under tho table.
lie looked at her facs under the wide
bat and it was sweetly serious. Ills
heart leaped. If only Kathleen would
glvo him a promise. But when he
asked her for anything deOnlto she al
ways bad excuses. They were so young,
ho must watt till ho got started. And
then the mfnute another attractiro man
liko Richard Allen appeared on the
scene she had eyes for iio one else.
Virgin!.! wished passionately that
Kathleen could bo contented With BUI,
It was cruel to lead him on to make
him believe that she loved him nnd then
laugh behind his bnck, joko about his
seriousness, scoff at thu idea of ever
worrying n poor mail.
Bill was almost happy that afternoon,
and Kathleen wns sweet aud responsive.
They had a wonderful time talking
about tho future, all four of them, nnd
Virginia had n lightning glimpse of a
sido of Kathleen's ualuro that was too
often hidden. Long afterward, when
change had como into tho lives of both
noon at the tentable, the dreams thcy
made, uamieen, wua ner ueauuiui
faco half pensive and turned a llttlo to
ward Bill, ond she hcrtclf with hor fin
gers held tightly in Jimmy's warm hand
under the table.

The New York Times Book Review says editorially:
"Mare Nostrum stands supreme in contemporary
fiction."
MARE NOSTRUM
By VICENTE BLASCO IBANEZ
In a column-long editorial discussion of this book the
New York Times Book Review says: "It is after all as a
novel, a story, a series of subtle portrayals of character,
rather titan aa a war book, that 'Mare Nostrum stands
supreme in contemporary fiction. ... As a novel
'Mare Nostrum is greater than "The Four Horsemen."
There is a daring originality in the way its plot is
worked out that is unique in contemporary fiction. . . .
It is small wonder, indeed, that a book of the wide
catholicity and the consummate art of 'Mare Nostrum'
should have achieved its present popularity."
