Among her father's worker nt the plant she wns a great favorite espe cially among the elder powder men who had been pioneer empleyes of the Indus try. Every year when they were given the all-day picnic by Alfred dit Pent she would visit them nnd their families and talk with them. Te her they worn people just as Interesting ns any titled count or lady she hed met abroad. Alicia Net Snobbish; Shuns Class Distinction The gardener's baby was just as in teresting te her as the baby of any of her multimillionaire friends. She had abso lutely no iden of class distinction, she was never snobbish or "stuck up." Her mother decided early in life that her education should be such that she would be as unaware ns possible of artificial barriers between persons, and that she would net consider the family tree the most important thing In a person's life. In January, 10120, Alicia's mother died. And Alicia was left with no fina lly, and mere than n million dollars in her own name. She went te the funeral in the severest of black (Irenes with a narrow white bnnd in the neck. People saw her, nodded their heads approvingly and said. "Alicia always did dress simply and ln the best of taste." In the fall she sailed for Paris. She wns seventeen, attractive looking, with dark hair and dnrk blue -gray eyes, wealthy, gifted. If ever any one could have afforded te have defied conventions it was she. But n reckless, gnv career evidently held no attractions for her. She hnd never gene any place unchap unchap erened in her life, nnd se she asked Mrs. Trlppe te accompany her te Paris, where she was going te study under Jean de Rcstke. Ifmennt hard work; it infant strength, and It meant en durance. But it also meant a career, which was what Alicia wanted mere tban nnythlng else, se she sailed en the Aquitanin. And .en the Aqultnnia was Hareld Glendennlng. And en the Aqultnnia the idea of becoming Mrs. Hareld Glendennlng be gan te nave its attractions for Alicia. Ne Glamour or Riches in Life of Glendenning The man whom she had met when he was employed as a chemist ln her stepfather's power plant during the war was new a Rhodes scholar, n man of brilliant mind and untiring energy; a man prominent In his town ns u worker in the First Congregational Church of Nerwnlk, en interested mem ber of the Men's Club nnd the Chris tian Endeavor. He had none of the remnnce, none of the wealth, nene of the secinl posi tion behind him that had surrounded Alicia's life. His training, environ ment and family connections arc di rectly opposite te hers. But these dif ferences evidently made the man all the mere fascinating, and the shel tered, protected girl, who was going abroad te tread the thorny path which would eventually lead her te success! an an opera singer, agreed te become the wife of the penniless hchelnr who was ulse going abrend, en his first trio, te spend three years nt Oxford. Hareld Sanferd Glendenning is twenty-five yenrs old, and was born en Newton avenue, Xerwulk. His mother was May R. Scofield, and his father, who has been dead for seven years, was Percy Glendennlng, n mall-cur-rler for the Norwalk Posterfive for twenty-nine years one of the original carriers of the office. Hareld has one sister, Morien, who Is twenty-three years old, and the wife of Farnhnm D. Mlddlcbroek, bend salesman. They live with Mrs. Glen dennlng nnd her mother. Lnurn B. Scofield, widow of William II. Scofield. Hareld's uncle, Hareld Glendennlng, is the leading druggist of the town. The family, who are highly thought of in Nerwnlk, ere In moderate clrcum clrcum btunces. In later jenrs llnreld's father was engaged In real cMate piometlou. He purchased, very cheaply, the oil Jonathan Camp property en wlilfli the home at Ne. 1 North Cannen street, htands. He developed the surrounding z, named it for his daughter Marien, but Inst yenr it was changed te Glenden nlng in honor of the promoter. The home Is u comfortable two-story frame house, an unpretentious Ameri can home, with a large perch almost all the way around, surrounded by shrubs and trees. In no way is the contrast between the material position et two families mere clearly shown than by n comparison of their hemes: the Glen dennlng home, small and simple, and the du Pent home, the palatial Ne mours, which centnlns mera than a hundred rooms and grounds' of 2000' acres. The du Pent house is built along French lines. The main hallways ex tend the entire depth of the house, with long French windows en a Icvel with the lloer nt cither end. They open en stone terraces and ln the rear over look n forest. In the rear Is a marble peel, which centnlns goldfish. Girl Lives in a Palace, the Bey in a Cottage Almest as great n contrast can be found In the personalities of the moth ers of the two yeuns people. Hareld's mother is a retiring person, a "home body," neighborly nnd kind, interested in everyday affairs of her friends, who lives for her children. Fer the last jenr she has been practically confined te the house by ill health, and the first Interviews with reporters exhausted her, se Mrs. Schefield, Hareld's grandmoth er, has te sec all visitors who come te ask about him. Hareld is tall and well-knit, with his mother's coloring nnd her brown eyes. He bears a striking resemblance te her. He is scrleus-mlnded, and has been exceptionally studious from childhood, and he 1ms led his classes all through his school career. He first attended school in a two-room schoolhouse. .known ns North Center, near his boy heed home. He was graduated from the Nerwnlk High Scheel ns the honor student. His unusual brilliance was no ticed by all his professors particularly in chemistry, which was his favorite subject. He entered Dartmouth 'College in September, 1017, and tutored students te get the money te continue his edu cation. When he was only twenty yen old he received his A. II. degree. After his grnduatien from college he went te the du Pent Powder Works where he worked as u chemist ln the Government service. His recommenda tion for Government cervlce wus mode en his excellent record nnd evident ability. Following the nrmlsticc Hareld was tiausferred by du Pent te the main ex perimental station of the plaut, where he remained till September 18. 1010. Upen leaving the plant he entered the University of Columbia te get his de gree of master of arts. During the term lie siilTeied it nervous breakdown but he completed the course ln June. 1020, und wus recommended by the New Hampshire Committee for n Rhodes scholarship, Glendenning Plans te Practice Law in England In the fall he sailed for England en the Aquitanin. He entered Merten Col lege, Oxford. He will be graduated from there in June, 1021, doctor of philos ophy will be one of the degrees he will receive. Glendenning Is taking engineering a one of his courses, but he plans te enter the British bur and devote his attention te pntcnt law. There is the possibility that he will love abroad if he and his bride de net return te this ceiwitry Immediately after his gradu ation. She is plunnlng te continue her studies under Jean de Rcszke after her mnrrlngc. Nene of the members of the Glen dennlng family will be present nt the ceremony. The brlde'H uncle. Majer Edward Bradford, will attend the wed ding, ns will Miss Helen Hacket, of New Yerk, who will be the bridesmaid. Alfred I. du Pent, who did net at tend the wedding of his own daughter, Bessie Cnxeneve du Pent, te Reginald Shlppen Huidekoper, which took place ln February, 1017, will attend the wed ding of his step-daughter Alicia, ac companied by his thlid wife, whom he married in January, 1021. Uncommon Sense : Manners Will Make a Market By JOHN BLAKE w E HAVE the brief but descriptive word "lout" which we apply te unmannerly boys and men. Unfortunately It Is necessary In writing- of our fellow cltUcns te use It alto gether tee often. Fer the lout Ib numerous, nnd scat tered broadly throughout the land, both In the city and the country, EDUCATION does net nlwnys cure him. Neither does environment. There ere louts of college graduates, and louts In se-called pollte society. The boy who seems afraid te say sir" when he addresses his elders, who returns surly answers te civil ques ques tlens, who leers nt people who speak te him, Is one sort of u lout, and u highly offensive hert. He Is frenucntl.v met with. He is a rude and unmanuercd te men and women alike. He Is a lout when lie applies for a position which he never gets. He Is a lout when he falls into the hands of the law for some miner of fense, nnd usually gets an extra month's sentence because his leutlshness preju dice!, the Judie against hm , reraP "we iret" ; mv.ijw tnan.t4,M. jew. mwtwMfw trini(i im neiikborkeod mm.

People who respect themselves, nnd most successful people de, like te be respected. Everybody, even the lout himself, prefers civility te Incivility. LeutlshncsB Is merely an utter neg lect of ether people's feelings, n want of sympathy or kindliness toward all created things, Most crlinlnuls nre louts. Most fail ures urn louts. Most boys who easily obtain posi tions and promotions when they get positions are well-mannered nnd thoughtful of ethers. THIS world gives pretty much what It gets.
