SYNOFSIQ

At a first night performance in New York a beautiful young wo man attracts attention by rising and leisurely surveying the nudi- ence through her glasses. Clav- ering. a newspaper columnist, and his cousin. Dinwiddie. are particu- larly interested, Dinwiddie declar- ing she is the image of Mary Og- den. a belle of thiry years ago. who had married a Count Zattiany. He is convinced that this is Mary's daughter. but all efforts to estab llsh her identity prove futile.

Claveriug finally manages to meet her. and she tells him she is the Countess Josef Zattinny. cousin of Mary Ogden’! and had married a relative of Mary's bus- band. Clavering does not believe her story and tells her so.

As time goes on Clavering realiz- es that he is in love with the mys- terious Madame Zattiany, whose first name. he learns. is Mary. He declares his passion and draws from her the admission of a recip rocai warmth of feeling.

Mrs. Oglethorpe. having offered her box. Clnvering invites Mary to attend the opera with him one ev-

. ening. Her appearance there in the

Oglethorpe box. regnlly gowned and the synosure of all eyes, is some what in the nature of a challenge to that forbidding Society which had she realizes the time has come to questioned her credentials, and clear up the mystery. She promises Claverlng she will reveal her secret to him the following Saturday niBht.

"Jlenr Lee:

"Will you dine with nn old woman tonighb-a rather bewilder- ed nnd upset old woman? I sup- pose to the young nothing is too new and strange. for readjustment. but l have hardly known whero l am these lust few days. You are the only friend l cure to talk to on the suhlect. for you always un- derstand. I am probably older than your mother and l look old enough to he your grandmother. but you are the only person living with whom I ever feel inclined to lay aside all reserve. Old men are foss- ile and young men regard iue as an ancient wrec" preserved by family traditions. AS for women l hau- them nnd always did. Dc come and dine with a lonely put. zlcd old woman unless you have an engagement impossible to break. Don't bother to dress." ‘Your affectionate old friend. ' "Jane Oglethorpe.‘ "What's up?" Clavering had thought its he finished it. ‘Mar; or Janet?" ‘

it was an extraordinary letter t. receive from Mrs. Oglethorpe, lht most fearsome old woman in New York. To Clavering she had al- ways shown the softer side of her nature and he knew her perhaps lretti-r. or at all events more imi- mutely, than any of her old friends. for she had not treated him us a negligible. junior even when he ar- rived in New York at the lender age of twenty-two. His iugenuous precocity had amused her and she hud discovered a keen interest in the newspaper world or whose ex- istence she had hardly been ‘aware; no interviewer had ever dun-d approach her; and a; be grew older. developing rapidly more and more unlike her sons and hor sons‘ friends. they hud fallen into an easy pallish intimacy. were frank to rudeness. quarrelletl fur- lesuly. bu‘. fed each other’! wis- dom and were deeply attached.

long generation between them. He found her more interestini in lﬂlk than any girl. except when he was briefly in love. and her absence of vanity. her contempt for senti- ment in any of its fonna. filled him with n blessed sense of security as he spent hours stretched out on the. sofa in her upstairs . sitting room. smoking and discussing the universe. She “'83 not an intellec- tual woman. but she was sharp and shrewd. a momument of common sense and worldly wisdom. it would be as easy to hoodwink her as the disembodied Minerva. and it was doubtful if any one made even u tentative attempt. Clavering wond- cred which of those inner secret personalities was to be revealed to- night. v

As he stood in the drawing- room waiting for her to come down ‘ie examined for the first time in many years the full-length picture of her painted shortly before her marriage of James Oglethorpe. She was even taller than Mary Zatti- any and in the portrait her waist was round and discoucertingly small to the modern therapeutic’ eye. But the whole effect of the figure was superb and dashing. the poise of the head was almost de- fiant. and the hands were long. slender, and very white against the crimson satin of her gown.

She looked as if about to lead a charge of cavalry, although. oddly entmth. her full. sensuous mouth with its slightly protruding lo\ver lip. was panting. Beautiful shc had never been; the large bony struct- urr- of her face was too uncover- ubie, her eyes too sharp and sardonic; but handsome certainly. and. no doubt. for many years after she had stood for this portrait in the full Insolence of her young womanhood. She retained not a truce nf that handsomeuess today. licr lulpds were skinny, large vein- ed. discolored by moth Patches, and her large nquiline nose rose from her sunken cheeks like the beak of nn old eagle—uu in-iomii- able old eagle. Many Women oi‘ sixty-eight had worn far better. but looks need care. spurred’ by. vanity. and shc had a. prof0und_ contempt for both. No doubt if. shr- liad made u few of the known feminine concessions shc’ would have looked at least ten years younger than her age. for the had never had a ilay's illness: "iiill! W512.‘ -.> were lot . in hi)!‘ "use. to Jae counted as exceptions. No doubt, though Clavcring. as up turned to greet her. she luul thought it quite enough to be ini- posing.

Shi- certainly looked imposing

ruuphi in spite of her old-fashion- -u cosw-‘e nnd her imn-vrav but irranged in flat rolls and puffs on '1‘! precise top of her head. for ‘ilthough flesh had accumulated umpily on her back. her shoulders "ere still unboweri. her head as ﬂllgllilly poised as in her youth. nd the long back velvet gown vith yellow old point about thc luare neck (the neck itself cover- ‘d, like the throat. with net), and falling over hcr hands, llecalng her style if not tho limes.

“Well. Lcel" shc said drlly. "l mppose when you got my note you thought I had gone bug-house, as my fastidious granddaughter Janet would express it. But that is the way l felt and that is the way i feel at the present moment."
