- Aunt Olympia ^ent wi^h* Heten
and- Adele on^ afteAioon-to a large
cocktail party—the invitations had
s&id "tea." It was at ^ home of
an outstanding Republican senator;
they remembered that later, with
.some bitterness: Adele, left alone
for a few minutes, was approached
by a man, comparatively young,
qiiite,. hahdsoifie, whom Adele in-
stinctively" libeled "a foreigner of
some sort" . ,
"I met you just_ after you came

Gabriel d'Allotti went a Way pres-
ently. • He had not seen Helen, be-

looked no further. He:did not make
the mistake of asking Adele to point

CHAPTER VI
Early, in May, Aunt Olympia "de-
cided it was-time for the assist-
ant director of publicity, Cecil Doddr
to begin sending stories to the home
papers. Olympia. who Was an inde-
fatigable maker of notes, had a list
of "points" ready to start tlie cam-
paign-on her own and the girls' be-
half; the Senator, except for inci-
dental remarks in passing, Was to
be left to Dave Cooper. So she sent
for Cecil and, at "Ih'eir laughing in-
sistence on -its educational value;
peffinitted the girls to listen in.
"Now, you see, Cece," began
Olympia, with great gusto, "politics
is an elaborate and intricate sys-
tem of.build-up.. That's alL Just
build-up.".,
- Cecil took- his limp, leather loose-
leaf notebook from his mono-
grammed thirty^dolUr , brief case

"TRuIers," "greatness," "exercise
authority" — how modern these
.words from verse 25 sound! They
epitomize the ambitions ot the great
majority of mankind today: "Few
indeed- are those in the world, who
see the way to true greptbess as
that of the lowly Jesus. In every in-
stance where -they do rigfitly ap-

is such an attitude toward life to
be found* ' '

spirit of humility and self-sacrifice

desire for greatness. We may not
admit that fact; ,but it is none the
less true.
