The Star was bored She sent for
NussbaUm and told him so fatty. He
placed his bulk on the edge of a chair
opposite her, the private car swaying
on its way. and thought that in spite
of her rOse-pink morning gown and
freshly massaged face he had never
seen her look so nearly middle aged.
Well come to think of it, she was
getting on" He knew just how long
she had been on the stage-seventeen
-eighteen?-no. by Jove. more than
twenty years, and no chicken" even
then.
Wei, what could he do for her? She
looked with distaste at the diamonds on
his lumpish fingers, turned her eyes TO
the hard, snow brilliance touching the
windows with flashes that seemed to
dart from quicksilver. and told him
resentfully that she was bOred-bored
to death. She could not endure the
feeling: it was awful.
Nussbaum had some suggestions.
Would he have I'm two Of the company
and himself and start a "pully" game
Of bridge at cents a point, "a real
sizzler?" She was sick of bridge. How
about poker? She did not want him
to mention cards again. Wen. suppose
she let him make her one of his own
special "pick-me-ups2" Oh. the mass
of men had about as much soul as so
many yahoos; ne would be suggesting
something to eat next: she really be-
lieved he would be quite capable even
Of that. Nussbaum he'd been trembling
on the verge of describing a paTticu-
larry fascinating canape of truffles, but
he was mentally agile enough the look
panied at her accusation. He leaned
toward her, dripping sympathy. What
was the matter?
Nothing-and everything. Life was
the matter-life-life She had moth
ing to live for. nothing real. She was
a cheat: all the people walking the
earth were cheats. The real I was

lust as she did in the scene with Ar

frightened. He had never seen her
quite as bad as this. Mysteries were
due any moment and she was famous
for her Mysteries. But when she looked
at him again her dark. dry eyes had
the burn of old pain in them. 1t was
no use she could not keep up the
game. She was sick. sick, sick Of it all.
He began to feel more comfortable.
She lust wanted "taffy." He had 6nly

this "a medicine easy to take" So he

to act as a screen against the wind,

partially ripped from its place, fIapped

it, and ne snorted. Not coming indeed ?

a WORKOUT blanket dressing gown Of

but with the grace Of lasting bOyhood
clinging to him. The thin. clean-shaven
face was gentle and intelligent: thick
gray hair made a shining mat above
his brOws; he was slight and small and
moved with a swinging, graceful light
ness in which there was a lingering
touch Of foppishness. His age was be-
trayed in the feeble neck above the
Byronic collar and in the sunken. lined
blue eyes, sad even in the bursts of
laughter that came 50 readily.
He laughed as he drew Henderson in.
