A lawyer, he gave promise of making a good professional career if he Should rid himself of some drawbacks which were attributed to the well-known fact Of being his mother's favorite, expectant of a large fortune from her and an other from his father-in-law. About five feet ten, fair excellently rounded in Shape, always tasteful in dress, fascinating in speech, he had won Alice Ludwell more easily perhaps because the seriousness in her being had need to be joined with what it felt to be wanting. Of medium height, not a blonde, yet not quite a brunette, her smooth white face that lit up sometimes, not very Often, with redness, harmonized with her brown hair and browner eyes. Her voice was sweet, and when she smiled, whether while talking or listening, people re garded her as beautiful as she was lovely.
