Leaving her triumphantly he swears he will return “tomorrow at thre: Major Chandier Kane, Theodora’s uncle, who admires and sympathizes with his niece. He tells her life !s like a waffle-iron, making every one into the same pattern. Gunbost Dorgan, a lightweight prize fighter, is summoned by Theodora to punish Ublan for his insult and gives the artist a beating. Theodora had suggested as a reward that Dorgun use her roadster, but to hem surprise he kisses her, hinting that she is to take the place !n his heart which nad been held by Ruby Reamer, an artis’ model through whom Theodora had met the prize fighter. Willlam Shotwell, a lawyer, calls to announce that his client, Uhlan, had lost a $12,000 portrait commis- sion because of the bruised nose he had suffered in Theodora’s studio, that his feelings had been damaged $12,000 more and that medical and other expenses ran the cost up to $25,000.
