"Cinderella's
Daughter"
By HAZEL DKVO BATOIIELOB
Ccpvrloht, 1919, III Pallto Ledger Co.
SYNOPSIS
At bourdltiR school Virginia West
becomes friends with Kathleen Foster,
but their friendship is interrupted
by Virginia liiivinK fcIiooI. Mid.
West, terrified by tho iden that Vir
ginia, will murry h college man,
Jimmy Anderson, with whom she bus
fallen in love, takes her dauRlitcr out
of school n ml up to u fashiouublo
summer resort, where they meet
Hhcrmnn Holmes, a inau of enormous
wealth. Mrs. West instantly schemes
for u possible match.
SUTJftMAN 110MU3S had decided to
ask Virginia to marry him. Soiuc
"what bored with 11 Cc, he hud thought
that any new thrill would bo an im
possibility; but Virginia had changed
nil that. To hae this girl for his wife,
to sco life again through her eyes, to
havo those man clous possibilities in
her nature gradually unfold and de
velop for his onn edification seemed
tho most ilcslraulo thing in tho world.
Ho liked bpr MinpHoity, her lack of
worldllness and wondered that this
could bo so when her mother was so en
tirely different.
When ho asked Virginia to marry ljlin
lip was hot surprised that she started
nnd shrank uwuy. Tie bad expected
this, but be did not dream that it was
becasse of acrsion, ho thought it due
to her inexperience.
Ho bad taken her for u drive in his
high-powered car, and sho -bat beside
him muffled up in a big coat with a
wisp of pale Uiuc tullo over her mid
night hair and the light of the stars in
her eyes. Ho had stopped the car on
n hill so that they might watch the
moon climb up, and then quite suddenly,
ho had leaned close to her and with his
voice shaking a little, had whispered:
VYoutiarlins!" .
There was woudcr in the eyes she
turned to him. And then when he hud
rnuglit her to him roughly and the
wonder of her pale little facd wa up
turned to him he quite lost his head and
hissed bcr roughly again and again.
Sho gasped nnd tried to beat him off
with her fists. When he dually ic
Icascd her she was shuddering away in
a corner of tho beat, horror in every
linn of her fucc.
Dearest," he suid imploringly,
furious with himself for losing control
and frightening her this way. "I'm
sorry, but you look like u white wraithc
in this moonlight. You know I love
jou, don't jou? I want you to marry
HIP.
Virginia was sick with self-loathing.
Sherman Holmes's kisses burned on her
lips, she felt degraded, and she hated
this man who hud made her feel this
nay. But more, much more than she
hated him, bho hated herself. If she
liudn't been so blind sho might have
I noun tbut something of this kind would
huppen.
"Tako me homo please," she baid
faintly, after a moment's silence.
Ifc was "conscience-stricken and afraid
that ho bad spoiled bis chances. In
silence ho started tho car and they
moved forward. Virginia Bat with her
f-ire huddled down in the collar of her
t,ont and with her eyes fixed straight
ahead on the white ribbon of the road.
He did not speak to her until they were
'almost at tlio hotel, then he slowed
down the engine.
"Virginia."
She did not answer.
'Virginia, I want you to listen to me.
1 had no right to do what I did and I'm
orry for it. Look, dear, I won't kiss
jou again. Pleaso llftiup your eyes."
She did turn to him then.
"I want to ask you a question," he
aid gently. "Do you think you could
cV care for mo; that way I mean?"
Sho shook her head. "No."
"You-'re quite sure?"
"Quite." Her voico was low, almost
.1 whisper.
lie said nothing more and they drove
up before tho low red verandas. Mrs.
West came to meet them and she looked
at Virginia keenly. The girl held her
brad down, however, and in the dim
llht it was impossible to sec clearly,
so that Virginia escaped detection until
lifter tho good-nights had been tiaid.
Ouco upstairs Mrs. West took Vir
ginia by the shoulders and looked
bcarchingly into tho girl's face.
"Have you anything to tell me?" She
Ktlew, however, before tho question was
asked that there was no hope. Vir
ginia's eyes wire smoldering with
anger and big hurt tears buddenly
brimmed over the lids and fell down in
great drops on tho blue chiffon of her
(I i ess.
"You've turned down Sherman
Holmes when you had the chance to
marry him. It's the truth, isn't it?"
Sho did not wait for Virginia to answer,
but hurried on. "What would you bay
if I told you we were poor," sho flung
at tho frightened girl. '(Would you be
sorry, I wonder, or wouldn't you
..uc?"
( Tomorrow Mrs.
;hiU the truth.)

Dor my own Part I would regard tho
sort of camcl'fi hair coat that is shown
In today's sketch as a good Investment.
It shows tho conventional long, straight
lines, but thcro nro originality and dis
tinction in tbo shoulder cut and the do-'
sign of the collar.
Doubtless the nest shailo for this typo
of coat is ono of tho lighter shades of

And the bat to go with this coat. Yes,
it is another leather hat and you may
