The story is centered around two temperamental singers, an operetta production in Munich, and two Havarian ingenues who finally leave the glamor of the city and return to the simple pleasures of country life.

He ordered Mrs. Whitney to continue the child's schooling, maintain her "in a manner suitable to her fortune" ($2,800,000), provide a Roman Catholic governess who would instruct her in her mother's faith.* Gloria should never be taken out of New York...
First intimation of Justice Carew's decision bewildered everyone concerned. It consisted of a single sentence: "Mr. Justice Carew decided that the child, Gloria Vanderbilt, is not to have for the future the life that it had from the death of its father up till June...
