IT was no secret among us that Gussie James was

the fact but Gus herself would have died OF chagrin

Nevertheless not even Bird Latin, not Gus

love with Dorrence MacGregor. She waited brazenly
for him in the wings and found no shame in appear

She even accepted the innuendoes of the dressing

was though she hoped against hope that some foun
dation for the blatant that she faced would
suddenly arise to justify and discount all that she had
suffered both from envious and too truthful lips.
AS matter of fact-and here lies the ptifu part of
the storyDorrence MacGregor noticed the little dark
James woman barely more than he did the other
extra ladies'. Nevertheless, he being by some odd and
rather tragic fatality gentleman, panstakingly
courteous to her at all times, marvelling trfe at her
devotion, but utterly unconscious of her love.
Now it came to pass that on one direly unfortunate
night certain young woman entered the company
who did not by rights, the saying goes belong to

greeted the red coat and rufes with the polite

being even partially in love with her. but for what

and decent fellows to which he was grateful to think

she is. There's SO much evil that arises just from
pain. Sometimes / think that all the wrong in the
world comes from to waste!"
There was subtle atmosphere of mockery in the
dressing-room that night; Josephine was acutely
aware of it, and she deliberately fingered over her
undressing and redressng that no one might feel
that they had driven her away. Gussie was dressed
first She passed the wash basin where Josephine
busy scrubbing her hands with nail brush She,
Gus, was trinity dressed for the street, in bright
green gown and floating veil.
How quickly you manage to Dress said Joseph
ine with an effort. "The rest OF us are hardly rid

who not willing to be gracious, but who felt
vastly superior all the same.
"But one can't go out on the street without scrub
