In New York Barclay wa not only a
financial, but a oclal leader. One a -year
he gave a ret ball, to which everybody
who waa Invited went, unles sickness
or some other major cause had laid them
by the heels. But It la not here a question
f Barclay's great ball. Those who looked
levelly at him or up to him In a social
way felt that he had set th stamp, of
arproval on ths girl from heaven and
burned to know her. . .
Celestla waa showered with Invitation,
most of which ah declined. But ah did
not decline them all. - It was her duty
h felt to convert to her cause all sort
and conditions of men and women, th
man who had been born with a golden
spoon In his mouth and' the man who had
been raised with a revolver In ' his blp
pocket. ' " . , , , .
Now, although Celeatla moved on a calm
level ct democracy, loving almost all
men allk. h found In th way and
house of th rich more opportunities to
be amused and Joyoua than In th house
of the poor. If th rich wer worthies
a a class, ah had to admit their clever
nesa In concealing It. And maiyr of them

made much of her.
Sh was asked to apeak In th ballroom
of a great house overlooking Central
park. Th Invitation to do so waa Instt
luted by Mary Blacksthne, but Celestla
did not know this and the nam aimed
to the note of Invitation waa on which
tempted her to accept. It waa a name
which above alt othera atod. In the
opinion of the man In th at rest for all
that la richest and moat foolish.
To this function. Tommy Barclay waa

Black stone's plant, but though he yearned
to he wherever Cletl waa, In aplta of
