Brewster had lost his fortun® before his death and Virginia is left destitut She pawns her jewelry and Oliver Cutter promises to invest the money for her. She seeks work without suc- cess, and discovers that Dean has bribed the agency not to help her. Oliver gains her coniidence and shows her attention which Niel re- sents, but she does not like the way his model, Chiri, treats him. Finally Virgi obtains a tion she Jikes. Shortly afterward she Is charged by Cutter’s wife with try- posi- ing to alicnate his affections. She appeals to him to explain, and demands an accounting of her in- vestments. He confesses that he has not made any money for her, but says that he will give her any amount if she will go away with him. She demounces him and leaves the office. Her firm requests her to go on a voyage as ship hostess.
