EVELYN could hardly keep from smiling at TINS
speech She thought she knew just what Woud
happen If Miss Gordon did have company Oh
her own. . =, 49,, .o.
shes all tricks that woman is" the actress
went on returning to the fascinating subject OF
Mrs Edwards. shes got no more talent thah
on the door which read 'All Engagements OF
Bradley and Simpson Are Made Through MRS.
Moriarity" Her favorite trick Is holding tne
stage lust before her entrance. she does that IN

You know how awful it is to have to wait Tor

gagged yet, What is she like
shes n lovely girl"
Kind Of spiteful. I've heard"
oh. no. not bit. But Of course she won't
be imposed upon
After a moment Of significant silence. Miss Cor
don started OF again IN discussion or various
members of the thea trical profession, some OF
whom Evelyn knew, either personally or ny re,
port. and others whom she had not even heard
Of. About nearly every one she had something
critical to say. sometimes however. under the
guise Of praise Evelyn did not wonder that she
was personally unpopular; il seemed strange ana
pitiful to her that one SO talented should be so
talk that she declared she really must go: she
intended To take the O'Clock train for Boston.
and she had several things to do before that time
so you're going 10 dear Boston? oh. you live
there. don't you? How envy YOU do 80 love
Boston They appreciate me there. Mr.. Webb.
of The Argus has written the loveliest things
about me- D'you know him?
EVELYN had 10 confess that she did not: she
knew very few newspaper men: but she had
often seen Mr. Webb at COhassett; he had
house there.
We'll. some newspaper people Aorrd. But
II always pays TO keep on the right sid of them.
Come and see me when YOU get ba +. won't
yOu?" she said in her velvet voice H. made
Evelyn think Of the purring OF cat. shall
be at Staten Island I'll the first OF Angus and
then I'll come back to the old place for re YEAR
sails. You have the address. haven't you? Good
by, DEAR hope you'll have nice summer"
