SYNOPSIS Success crowned every venture of Jasper Ingram, wealthy promoter. Millions were at his disposal much to the envy of Homer Alspaugh, his confidential secretary, who has sll ho can do to meet mortgage payments and the golddigging demands of his flirtatious wife. Marian. Cathlcen McCarthy, beautiful young stenographer, substitutes for Ingram’s secretary while the latter is on vacation. Marian Alspaugh visits her husband's office to try and get some money. CHAPTER 111 For the second time the outer door opened to admit a woman from the world of leisure. This time the interest of the personnel was real and respectful. Laura Ingram was no such frequent visitor as Alspaugh’s wife, and there was not a lowly file clerk who was ignorant of her social prestige and importance. Though her complexion appeared faded and faintly lined, her features were regular and she had triumphantly preserved her figure. Her most youthful attribute, however, was her dark-gold hair, as abundant and as lustrous now as on the day of her wedding. She entered her husband’s office far more simply than had Marian Alspaugh. In a low voice she asked if Mr. Ingram had anyone with him and being answered in the negative, said, “I'll go right in, then.” Alspaugh hurried to open the door for her. “Let me show you in, Mrs. Ingram! And good afternoon! It isn't often we have the pleasure of seeing you here.” “Oh, it's Mr.—Alspaugh ” Her hesitation before the name was barely perceptible. “How are you?” Marian's piquant face appeared behind her husband’s shoulders. “I do hope you haven’t forgotten me completely, Mrs. Ingram! I’m Mrs. Alspaugh. I was introduced to you at the polo game, when Mr. Seward played so marvellously ” “Why, of course!” Laura Ingram’s voice warmed at the mention of her son. “I remember you perfectly. It’s so nice to see you again!” She hesitated, her eyes drifting covertly up and down Marian’s attractive figure. “I wonder if you’d care to— Have you an engagement for tomorrow afternoon?” “Oh, no!” “We’re giving a sort of garden party for charity,” Laura Ingram explained carefully—as if Marian didn’t know all about it, hadn’t known for weeks and longed, without hope, to receive an invitation. “We’re having ail sorts of features, outdoor theatricals, fortune telling, treasure hunting and a mystery trip—things like that, you know. It occurred to me you might care to come and sell cigarettes.” “Oh, Mrs. Ingram, I should love it!” Marian gasped. “What must I wear?” “Any little fantastic costume you may have—or just a pretty summer frock. You’ll have a tray, of course, with ribbons over shoulders—and mind you make your customers pay well for their cigarettes!” She went on into the private office. with a gracious nod of farewell. ’T've just asked that little Mrs. Alspaugh to sell cigarettes for us tomorrow. She’s exactly the type to wheedle men. I shouldn’t be surprised if she takes in more money than Rose and Mabel together. Y’ou’rc looking very abstracted, Jasper! Had you forgotten that I told you I should call for you at four, that you positively promised to put in an appearance with me at Ruth Bartlett’s, to meet that Spanish Infanta of hers?” “Did I say I’d do Liat?” Ingram got to his feet reluctantly, blinking away thoughts of business. “If I did, I suppose I’ll have to make good. But. I feel right now as if I could worry along contentedly for the rest of iny life, even if I never made the acquaintances of a Spanish Infanta!” » » • Jasper Ingram used a swift motor yacht for his daily trip from Long Island to the city, but his wife

| disliked boats and insisted upon using her car. Now he grumbled at the slowness of their progress uptown and over the Queensborough bridge. She did not reply, being occupied with a final review of her plans for the entertainment. Taking her social activities seriously, Laura Ingram was a successful hostess. To advance her position in society was to her a career and an art. Her husband had helped her by becoming so rich that —this being America—he had made her inevitably socially important. When he married her, she was a well-bred, middle class girl, living with her father, who had a professorship in a small college. To the professor’s discontented daughter, Jasper Ingram represented opportunity; to Ingram she

was the coolly selected instrument of a purpose he had at heart. When he decided to marry, he proposed to Laura Seward for what seemed to him a number of good reasons. She was handsome and apparently healthy, she had a scholarly background, and he had read somewhere that a child derives its intellectual equipment mainly from its mother. Great men, he had neard, have, as a rule, remarkable mothers and mediocre sons. Marriage opened his eyes to the fact that Laura’s health was not altogether sound, and that the pliability and sweetness and disposition she had shown during courtship masked a disposition that was not entirely angelic. He had naively tested her for love of children and joyfully given her high marks on her responses, but, with the birth of Seward, she refused to have another child. Seward thus was an only child, but, surprisingly enough, he was a charming boy, popular prep school and college ami now shamelessly run after by half the girls on Long Island. Ingram, somehow, had never been able to get close to his son. As Seward grew older and heard certain rumors about his father and other women, the gulf between the two widened—and the boy became a violent partisan of his mother. So it was he entered a period of cynicism and dir.illusio’nment in which she alone retained his reverence. Laura Ingram’s life was eminently "lathrfactqiy to her. If her

■ husband gave her little of his confidence or his company, he gave her all the forms of respect, unlimited money and reasonable compliance with her schemes that required his assistance. Social ambition, supplying her with an occupation, gave her something to think about and work for. While Ingram mused ailently of mergers and stock manipulations, she thought new about the Infanta, second cous. to ex-King Alfonso, whom a rival hostess, widow of a former Ambassador to Spain, was entertaining. Laura had tried to secure this lady for tomorrow, but Ruth Bartlett was whirling her prize to Bar Harbor. After all, however, she reflected, the princess was only a pious, middle-aged woman with a moustache, heavy socially and physically; let Ruth keep

her, although, of course, it sounded awfully well to have an Infanta staying with you. It developed, when the Ingrams had joined the party on the Bartlett terrace, that only a few of the more intimate members of Dona Josepha’s entourage were going with her to Maine. The Marques d’Alhues y Silva, certainly the most attractive member of her party, was to remain at loose ends in New York. “But then, I am enchanted with your New York,” he told Mrs. Ingram, “your so beautiful women and so many cars, your skyscratchers such as we have not in Spain. What is Bar Harbor but another San Sebastian?—and that is an old story.” “You don’t find it frightfully hot in town?” asked Mrs. Ingram. “Heat does not incommode me, Senoia—on the contrary. After the revolution we went first to England. B-r-r. I still carry the chill of that England in my bones!” He had a charming laugh that broke the classic lines of his face into boyish curves and showed teeth, startlingly white in contrast to his general swarthiness. "Won’t you come to us tomorj row, Marques?” Laura begged. . “We will promise not to freeze you, land you might be amused.” “I shall be mor' happy,” he assured her, and gazed soulfully into her eyes as he kissed her hand in I parting.
