John Rutland to himself as, with a degree of intensity and concern excusable only in one so young, he made a final survey of his reflection in the mirror. The result was a slight readjustment of his tie-pin and the removal of a microscopical speck of dust from his coat-collar. This achieved, his expression seemed to imply though more from a hint of resignation than of self-satisfaction that nothing further could be done to render his appearance as immaculate as the occasion demanded. He had picked up his hat and gloves and a somewhat sportive-looking cane, when he paused for a moment to gaze with obvious rapture at the photo graph of a young lady in a silver-mounted frame that stood upon the mantel-piece. The photograph in question which bore the name of a fashionable West-end Studio renowned for the artistic character of its work revealed, in profile, a face of such exquisite charm and refinement that young Rutland srapture seemed but a fitting and natural tribute to feminine charms.
