At a first night performance in *Kew York, I Lee Clavering, news-' paper columnist, is attracted by a woman a few rows ahead of him, who rises during the entr’acte, turns her book to the stage and leisurely surveys the audience through her glasses. She is beau tiful in an unusual way and Clav firing stares at her, fascinated. In, fact, the whole house is staring. Clavering encounters his relative, Dinwiddle, who declares that the woman is the image of Jdary Og den, a welt-ltnoibn society belle of thirty years ago, who had married a Count Zdttiany and Hved abroad ever since. They conclude this must be u daughter, and Pinwiddie promises, to question Judge Trent, Maril Ogden's attorney. At the end of the play Cldvering follows the young woman to the lobby. lll(Continued) A small ear drew up to (lie curb. She entered it, and hie stood in the softly falling snow feeling some what of a fool. As he walked slowly to his rooms in, Madison square lie came definitely 50 -the conclusion' that It • was 'merely his old reporter’s instinct thpt burned so fiercely, oven when he had prod ded Dinwiddle arid shaken hanilis in a glow of anticipation. Cer tainly there was no tire in his blood. His imagination had not toyed fur a moment with the hops that here at hist ... He did not feel in the leas: romantic. lint what man. especially after Dinwid dle's revelations * wouldn't feel a hit curious, a bit excited? Thank Heaven he was young enough for that. He must know who she was. Certainly he would like to talk to her. She know titp world, no doubt of it —with those eyes! European women, given the opportunity, could ernnt more of life into ten years than an American woman into forty l-'he had had her ex periences in spite of that madonna face: he'd bet on it.

IV The next evening when he arrived at the club he found Mr Dbw'td l!e fuming "What !■) you think!" he ex claimed as he led iiis guest to bis favorite table in the corner. “That old rase::! bluffed me! Bluffed iu°. Said there was no relative of the fetin'ess Za'iiany in the country that he knew of. Looked blank as a post whan 1 told him of the extraor dinary resemblance of that girl to Mary Ogden. Said he never heard of her. Laughed at the idea of a .-'uo-ross daughter. Pretended 'to be angry at such an aspersion on Mats' fair name —vras in love with her himself like the rest of us But lie was lying and he knew that I knew he was lying. What’ll yon have?" “‘Anything. Go ahead. I know by the glitter of your eye that you '■■".•'•n't flashed." Yotl're right, I haven’t.” He •av. his order and leaned forward. *Tve done a little prospecting on my own account'. Mary inherited the old Ogden house over on Mur-, ray Hill. I happen know that the lease van out ’ fast year--and that it hasn't been rented since. Well, I walked past there today, and some one is living in it. Boarding off Windows open Fresh curtains. A servant receiving a parcel at the area door. She's there, mark my word?." "Not a doubt of it. Why didn't you walk boldly up and send in your card?” "Hadn’t the courage. Besides, that girl never heard of,me. I hadn’t the ghost of an excuse.” "Why not put Mj'X. Oglethorpe on the scent? She could call. Women are always fertile la ex cuses.’’ “I can't see' what pretext she j could trump up. She'd be keen enough, all right, but She hardly j could tell this haughty creature j with the unmistakable stamp of j the great world on her that slm j knows she must be the left-handed : daughter of Mary Ogden. Even .Jane hasn’t assurance enough for that."

That indeed may be the explanation." "Not a bit of it. That girl Jg I JWary’s daughter" “I’m inclined to agree with you. j But it is understood that you can’t hurl It at her.

That’s not quite the sort ' of thing the New York woman | does, and you know it. True, the I war has upset them as it has every 1 one else. They are still restless. 1 have met two opera singers, two actresses, three of these juvenile editors and columnists at dinners and musical evenings during the last month alone. I believe they’d lionize Charley Chaplin it he’d let them, but I understand he’s more exclusive than we are. God! What vis New York Society coming to?” “You like straying outside the sacred preserves yourself occa sionally.” “I do. But I’m a man. We al ways did stray a bit. But when I think of the exclusiveness of only a few years ago! Why, New York Society was a club. The most exclusive dub in the world. I,on don Society was Bohemia com pared to it. It’s the democratic flu, that’s what! Aristocracy’s done for.’’ “I’m not so sure. The reaction may be devastating. But it’s a sign of g-race that they’ve at last dis covered sufficient intelligence to be bored with their somewhat monotonous selves. And Mrs. Oglethorpe always does exactly as she pleases. Better drop her a hint." “Well, I’ll try it. But while Jane may be high-handed, she lias cer tain rigid ideas when it comes to Society and who shall enter its gates. So far she’s made no con cessions. She and a few others still keep a tight rein. Their daughters, though! And grand daughters! Jane’s girls are repli cas of herself with every atom of her personality left out —but Jim’s daughter. Janet, is her grandmoth er over again and plus modern bad manners, bad habits, and a de fiance of every known convention. Wretched little flapper. Gad! What arc we coming to!" "Never mind Janet ” "Why don’t you suggest it to June? She thinks more of you than of anyone else. I doubt if you could ask-her. anything-; "Not much.. She’d, twig at pnep. I’ve had several bints lately that she has !i*r eye on' somebody she wants me to marry. Yon must do it yourself—and you must!" "Well, if she won’t. Mrs. Jim might. The younger women would know this girl like a shot if they thought, there was any fun in it — then drop' - her if. she didn't meas ure up. I don’t know that I care to place her in such « position.” ‘Tvs an idea the fair unknown can take care of herself. 1 don't sec her picked up and dropped. Probably it would be the deuce and all to meet her. 1 think my plau is. best. You can rouse any woman's curiosity, and no one has more than Mrs. Oglethorpe. That would be the wedge. You'd meet her and then you could give her a dinner anjl invite me.” "All* right. I'll try It. Some thing must happen soon. My ar teries won’t stand the strain.” ‘ V “Madam is ac-t at home, ma’am.” “Is she not? Then I’ll wait for her.” , Mrs. Oglethorpe swept by the butler and he had the sensation of chaff scattering before a strong wind. In truth Mrs. Oglethorpe was an impressive figure and quite two inches taller than himself. He could only stare at her in helpless awe. the more so as he had recog nized her at once. Leadership might be extinct, but Mrs. Ogle thorpe was still a power in New York Society, with her terrible outspokenness, her uncompromis ing standards, her sardonic humor, her great wealth, and her eagle eye for subterfuge. How could a mere servant hope to oppose that formidable will when hij betters trembled at her nod? Mrs. Oglethorpe had madd her usual careful toilet. Her full long dress of heavy-pile badk velvet, almost covered with a sable cape, swept the floor; changing skirts meant nothing to her. Like all women of the old regime In New York, she wore her hair dressed very high and it was surmounted by a small black hat covered with feathers, ruthlessly exposing heV large square face with its small j snapping blgck eyes and proml- 1 nent nose.

They are sincere ex pressions of gratitude. For nearly fifty years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable 1 Compound has been so praised by women.
