He made so much money that his daughter found it "difficult to spend all her Income In Paris, When she went to a cafe where there was a crowd, and s^e wished a. private party, Marian would pay the Waiters to invite the guests to leave. The girl attempted a similar practice in a cafe where Stephen- Hand and Billy McGuirewere drinking; Rand was a man JoJjis late thirties, an engineer by profession and a bachelor by preference. McGuire was a fresh-faced youth not long out of college. "A break at last! ' 'exclaimed.McGuire, scanning Marian. "Who is she?" "That's Marian Drake--on® of the reasons why France is ^ore about the Avar debts. I tell your Billy, if we kept this kind of tourist out of here they'd like us better In Earis," said Hand.
