IIo was too old lo bo attractive, but Virginia would need careful managing. If it were her self, what a splendid way out of all her worries. In the next few dajs, however, Sher man Holmes showed very plainly that It was Virginia who attracted him. He thought her tho ioellcst thing he bad rer known, lu her straight white frocks and large hats with her trngleally locly t'jcH full of jouth ntid innocence. Not for many jears had ho been so entiiely bowled over by a woman.

He was standing beside her chatting and Virginia' was answering himi in monosyllables when her mother trailed down the stairs, He turned as Virginia roso to her feet and saw a morvelously pretty woman in an exquisite evening gown and with meticulously waved blonde hair. Beside this, tall dark child, Mrs. AVoat looked carefully beau tiful, but a littlo soulless. She smiled her brilliant smile, and Holmes intro duced himself. After dinner h'eT-ama to them on the wide piazza and smoked a herself. Other people at the hotei sat baek and watched the play with arying emotions. There wns not a mother of a marriageable daughter who did not curl her lip in scorn because of the envy iu her heart, and Sherman Holmes was too attractive not to awaken interest iu the younger set even it he had not possessed weu'th. lierv one thought A'lrginla the luckiest of mortals, excepting Virginia herself.
