What +" could she be to a man, Barbara with her bangles, in her dance frock of gold chiffon, so fragile that it seemed a mist until it touched the milk-white daintiness of her shoulders? Barbara’s eyes dancing, dream- ing, inviting him from the warm shadows of a limousine. Could those topaz eyes fill one with unexpected longings while her cool brain told itself: “He has money to shovel.” Could Barbara wilfully enchant a man with her provocations and her blandishments? Could she? She could and she did! You may know the insouciant, honest modern girl—but have you ever met one of the alluring, bangled demi- moderns? You can if you will—in Arthur T.

He has a will that enables him to mes- merize his erring ex-wife into handing him the revolver with which she is about to shoot herself, and such a drag with the police that they laugh at. the suggestion of arresting his fair daughter for speeding.
