Parker Hoyt's aunt, the magnift cent old Lady Frothingham, had been just enough of an invalid for the 20 years preceding her death to heed @ nurse or @ companion, or a social secretary, or some one who was @ Little of all three, The great Problem was to find the right per son, and for a period that actually extended itself over years the right person was nét to be found, and the old lady was consequently miserable and unmanageable. Then came the advent of Mrs |Clay, a dark, allent, dignified widow who more than met all requirements, and who became a companion figure to the little, fussing, overdressed old lady. From the day she first arrived at the Frothingham mansion Mrs Clay never failed her employer for #0 much as a single hour. For 15 years she managed the houne, the maids, and, if the truth were known, the old lady herself, with a quict, irresistible eMctency. But it was eagerly re marked that she did not manage her small daughter with her usual suc cont, Magsie was a fascinating baby and a beautiful child, quicker of speech than thought, with a lovely Uttle heartshaped face framed in fy ing locks of tawny hair, But she] was unmanageable and strong willed. and ponsessed of a winning and in | solent charm hard to refuse. | Her mother in her silent, repressed way realized that Magsie was not hav ing the proper upbringing, but her own youth had been hard and dark, jand it was perhaps the closest ap proach to joy that she ever knew when Magete, glowing under her wide |suramer hats, or radiant in new furs, rushed up to demand something pre |posterous and extravagant of her mother, and was not denied. She was @ stout, concelted 16-year |old when ber mother died, #0 spoiled and 80 self-centered that old Lady | Frothingham had been heard more |than once to mutter that the young lady could get down from her high horse and make herself useful, or she could mareh. But that was six years ago. And now—this! Magsie had ev idently decided to make herself use jful, but she had managed to make} herself beautiful and fascinating as well, She was in mourning now for the good-hearted old benefactress who had left her a nost-ege of some $15,000, and Rachael noticed with approval that it was correct mourn ing: simple, severe, Parisian, Noth ing could have been more becoming to the exquisite bloom of the young face than the soft, clear folds of filmy veiling; under the small, close- vet hat there showed a ripple of rich golden hair, The watebing woman thought she had never seen such self possession; at 22 {t was almost uncanny. The modulated, bored young voice, the lastly lifted, indif ferent young eyes, the general air of requesting an appreciative world to be amusing and interesting, or to ex pect nothing of Miss Magsle Clay, these things caused Rachael a deep,| hidden chuckle of amusement. Lit tle Magsie had turned out to be something of a personality! Why,| she was even employing a distinct and youthfully insolent air of keep ing Warren by her side morely on} sufferance—Warren, the cleverest| and finest man in the room, who was more than twice her age! “To think that she is younger than Charlotte’ Rachael ejaculated herself, catching a glimp of Char lotte, towed by her mother, uncom-| fortable, ignored, blinking thru her glasses, And when she and Warren were in the car homeward bound, she poke admiringly of M “Did ou ever y one so improved, ale | Warren?
