That
's
what
I
think
,
too
.
I
like
her
,
but
I
'm
afraid
she
's
not
going
to
play
her
cards
right
.
It
's
too
bad
,
too
.
"
Just
then
Aileen
came
by
,
a
smiling
youth
on
either
side
,
her
own
face
glowing
with
a
warmth
of
joy
engendered
by
much
flattery
.
The
ball-room
,
which
was
composed
of
the
music
and
drawing
rooms
thrown
into
one
,
was
now
the
objective
.
It
glittered
before
her
with
a
moving
throng
;
the
air
was
full
of
the
odor
of
flowers
,
and
the
sound
of
music
and
voices
.
"
Mrs.
Cowperwood
,
"
observed
Bradford
Canda
to
Horton
Biggers
,
the
society
editor
,
"
is
one
of
the
prettiest
women
I
have
seen
in
a
long
time
.
She
's
almost
too
pretty
"
"
How
do
you
think
she
's
taking
?
"
queried
the
cautious
Biggers
.
"
Charming
,
but
she
's
hardly
cold
enough
,
I
'm
afraid
;
hardly
clever
enough
.
It
takes
a
more
serious
type
.
She
's
a
little
too
high-spirited
.
These
old
women
would
never
want
to
get
near
her
;
she
makes
them
look
too
old
.
She
'd
do
better
if
she
were
not
so
young
and
so
pretty
.
"
"
That
's
what
I
think
exactly
,
"
said
Biggers
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
he
did
not
think
so
at
all
;
he
had
no
power
of
drawing
any
such
accurate
conclusions
.
But
he
believed
it
now
,
because
Bradford
Canda
had
said
it
.
Next
morning
,
over
the
breakfast
cups
at
the
Norrie
Simmses
'
and
elsewhere
,
the
import
of
the
Cowperwoods
'
social
efforts
was
discussed
and
the
problem
of
their
eventual
acceptance
or
non-acceptance
carefully
weighed
.
"
The
trouble
with
Mrs.
Cowperwood
,
"
observed
Mrs.
Simms
,
"
is
that
she
is
too
gauche
.
The
whole
thing
was
much
too
showy
.
The
idea
of
her
portrait
at
one
end
of
the
gallery
and
that
Gerome
at
the
other
!
And
then
this
item
in
the
Press
this
morning
!
Why
,
you
'd
really
think
they
were
in
society
.
"
Mrs.
Simms
was
already
a
little
angry
at
having
let
herself
be
used
,
as
she
now
fancied
she
had
been
,
by
Taylor
Lord
and
Kent
McKibben
,
both
friends
of
hers
.
What
did
you
think
of
the
crowd
?
"
asked
Norrie
,
buttering
a
roll
.
"
Why
,
it
was
n't
representative
at
all
,
of
course
.
We
were
the
most
important
people
they
had
there
,
and
I
'm
sorry
now
that
we
went
.
Who
are
the
Israelses
and
the
Hoecksemas
,
anyhow
?
That
dreadful
woman
!
"
(
She
was
referring
to
Mrs.
Hoecksema
.
)
"
I
never
listened
to
duller
remarks
in
my
life
.
