THE IRREPRESSIBLE JULIA

This is chiefly the story of Julia, kind-hearted, incautious and impulsive, who is just barely old enough to have a grown daughter. Susan, the daughter, has been brought up by her grandparents who, according to 'their lights, are eminently better preceptors of youth than Julia. Susan has grown up to be a prig, but for all that, a very lovely prig. Julia has by no means abandoned her daughter. When a suitor appears on Susan's horizon, she promptly sends for Julia to come and tell her what to do. It is typical of Julia that she should become involved with five trapeze artists on the way. Equally typical it is for her to grow bored in the small town and plan an excursion to Aix to refill her empty purse at the casino. To find the casino closed, and to get the money home by a bit of modified larceny, which includes entering a lingerie shop by the front door and leaving by the back, is for Julia only a situation well met.
