Aunt Phina ts America’s most fa- mous couturiére, Iris’ brother Owen designs for her. And Iris is the girl from Persia, Pa., brought up in aristocratic penury. who only three days ago did not know whether her brother was alive or dead. Phina and Owen have separated Iris from homely, kindly Uncle Will, and her Aunt Ella.

But when the Allan and Dick were waiting in the lobby; and it was to Phina that Allan spoke easily and graciously, not to Tris. “My name's Allan Beckley.
