IT'S YOU I
SYNOPSIS
. Scott Prentice, Jyoung Boston
lawyer, has grown up expecting to
marry Whitney Prentice, his dis
tant cousin, Todhunter Prentice
Jarvis, Scott's second cousin, has
left college to take a newspaper
job also, in Boston. Tod adores
both Scott and Whitney and can
not understand why, with the lat
ter even now on a transatlantic
liner on .her way home, his cousin
can pay such ardent court to the
visiting Olivia Paul. Whitney bad
not wanted to be formally engaged
to Scott until her return from Eu
rope, yet she had loved him only
since she had been fifteen. .Scott,
obviously forgetful of this, elopes
with Olivia. Four days later,
aboard ship, Whitney tells wealthy
- young Jay Nowell of her romance.
CHAPTER ry . -
' Jay had liked Whitney so much
- that he had followed her to England
where she was to meet Mrs. Endi
cott Dane, a friend of Aunt Hester's,
with whom she was to return to Bos
ton. Of course, neither she nor Aunt
Hester had had any way of knowing
. that Mrs. Dane would be confined
to her stateroom during the entire
trip with mal de mer. That had
ben s break for Jay NowelL Be
cause he had come along too. Not
from any desire to visit Boston,
" which he bad honored with his pres
ence twice and then briefly to attend
two football games, but because it
was unthinkable that he should say
good-by to Whitney in London having-
just discovered her; so to speak,
- in Paris. 'l-rv"
She considered him now gravely.
"No,?, she decided quite honestly.
"Scott isn't really more handsome
than you. You are very handsome,
Jay. But of course you know that.
.-Scott is handsome, too. But in quite
different way. He's blond . . . ex
traordinarily so. And his shoulders
.are wider . .V T
; "And," she might have added,
. This eyes are Jess brooding and
. : much happier and his smile is some
thing to live for . . . and when he
makes love to you you know why
Jrou were born and that life is
ovely ."
She contented herself with say
ing: "He is the gayest person I have
.. ever known." -.
-. f Well," Admitted Jay Nowell rea-
sonably, "no one could call me gay,
I "suppose. ' Still I ' have other at-
..- tributes." 'l'- - - - -v $ r"'

"Tes, of -coufse. - -Sometime Jill

casually, "ever succeeds in running
through Tom Thayer's money, I may

with his cupped bands, "l dont like

Whitney laughed. It wasi ery

thought that a word she had used to
deieribe Scott Prentice described her,
too. She was the gayest person "he
had ever known. Not in any noisy,
hot-cha way.: But quietly, as if
gaiety were an integral part of her
personality. She was gay and proud
and very sure of herself. That came,
he supposed, from being" properly
brought, up. with a permanent, defi
nite background. If tragedy had
touched her as a child, it had cer
tainly never been allowed to en

She said: "Why, Tod is another
