The international settlement is governed by a council elected by I taxpayers, . regardless of nationality, At present one American,' two Japa- nese, six British, and five Chinese compose It.

A parade of admiring hoys tot' lows her, to the tealousu 0 her less attractive sister. Ooodu- ret Hope is never contented. She is cfliislantli on the trttil 0 new clothes, new amusements new ex cttements. She leads her .oang on madcap escapades Mrs. Ross urges her Husband to tru to curb Hope's extravagances. "1 didn't behave that wau when was Hope's age," she sous. ."Hope is boil craxv." itr,. Ross refuses to be alarmed. He is more thonable to pan tor Hope's fun and has provided an enormous estate . in ' Westchester County lor her home comings. Chapter 2 "Ldve IS 36 tRIVIAL" " TRIED to. set Hope to promise ' not to . drink until she was twenty-one," Papa Ross remarked. 'Said I'd give ber that swanky roadster she's been talking about. But It didn't work exactly " -' "the way you spoil her, she knows she'll get the roadster any way,", sniffed Mrs. Ross, unim pressed. . . ; Papa Ross stared at the dull Uhl riese rug", and wondered about this. "At Any rate," lie turned batik to his wife, "Hope his promised me not to drink until Christmas. Pro vided she can glvo a '.house-party up ''..' "Love Is so at Lake Placid for the holidays. I said she could have six couples. Kitida tun, Mother ell?" "Howard that's just the way yoil ruin hr. . If you " . .. "The whole point ot this argu ment being," Mr. Ross rose briskly, and tested his chin for stubble with the tips ot his Augers, "are we go ing to the theater tonight or aren't we?" v "No!" chirped Mrs. Ross with a toss ot her white bobbed hair. ."No. The Morans, the Thompsons and the Wrights are coming over to play bridge." . It the promised Christmas party at Lake Placid was to be limited to six couples, Hope's seventeenth birthday party, a month after this unsettling talk, was an open house verging on a froe for-all. On the broad Otty-foot veranda, in thoback of the house overlook ing the hills of Westchester, with its tiny toy trains far In the dis tance, still carting weary com muters to cozy homes, with the stretches of a golf course two mites, barely visible in the cryptic dusk of late September, some eighteen girls and thirty-six boys gatherel to celebrate in their own charming and Inimitable way, the additional year In Hope's gay arid selfish little lifetime. ' By six o'clock of a glorious In dian summer Sunday, the circular driveway of tho Ross estate might have been an amateur automobile show were It not tor the Jarring note of two or three decrepit Fords, and rebuilt nondescript "racing cars" crowded among the snooty chassis ot cars "borrowed" from various parents robbed of their Sunday drive. Caterers, assisted by the scowl ins and superseded house-servants, panted over the service of the long planked table built for the occasion and disguised by fine white linen. Mama and Papa Ross were there too. Papa, quite decorative In his white flannels, and his coat and cap that marked him the Commo dore of the Yacht Club tor tnat season. A costume that lent dig nity and grace to the occasion oven more than Mama s trailing white laco enwn. and the camellias in Mama's while bobbed hair. Only 'the surroundings for the Ross home, only the setting for scattered, along the. river between Hankow and Shanghai. Four 'British" destroyers en route to England from the China station are understood to have been ordered , to remain at Singapore until further' notice. .

Sad seemed the trees, with their leaves turning to a last spurt of glory before death. ' , Trembling were the late autumn flowers, as tbey shed their mill) and subtle perfume for Hope's sake, as it to make happy her last glorious memory. . .
