In the morning Virginia Van Wie shot a 73, putting Mrs. Vare's perfectly respectable 83 eight down. In the afternoon at the 22nd Miss Van Wie sank an eagle 3.

The light gleamed almost too perfectly over the sinking tide, showing dimly the outlines of the hills on the mainland; far across the bay lights gleamed on a yacht, and there was a lightly-heard music from the deck where guests of a very rich sinner were dancing.
