CHAPTER Two
25/27

That's a good many, you know.
Forty-seven seasons of debutantes and mothers tend toward enlightenment.
Now there is Agatha Slade, poor girl! She's of a kind I know by heart.

Most men can't afford them, and they can't afford most men.

The others must be allowed their chance.

Agatha has had the advertising of the illustrated papers this season, and she has gone well.
