sufficient that the present " day

as her ugly .duckling sister; does,
but dances her Impudent way from
one riotous evening to another,
with telephone calls during the
day and' luncheons at noon to
save her from boredom.
Besides , the glittering , pnlchrl

the plainer sister looks like the
"dark swan s the changeling In

She may have the deep I fine

man, but is handicapped by her

that as it may, this is a problem
uppermost in the minds of all wo

A very Interesting treatment of
this problem occurs in Ernest Pas

which concerns Itself with two sis
ters, one. lovely of form and face,
the other brilliant-minded but
plain, and the Joys that life hold
for each of them. Even the one
man who might have loved the
charm of the plainer sister, is
blinded by the physical allure of
the other, but the 'book Is partic
ularly noteworthy because of' the
unusual development of the plot.
