DR.. HOLES shook hands with
his patient Lois Harley, left the room
and went slowly downstairs looking per-
turbed and distressed.
Alone. Lois sat UP in bed, staring across
the room with piteous, SHOCKED eyes, her
hands to her breast where her heart was
humping. She heard the door of the
dat shut and the whirr Of the doctors

Then she drew a deep breath and began
to sing very softly the first lines Of For
Q Dreams Sake"
"The hope I dreamed Of was a dream,
was but a dream. and now I wake, and
now wake exceeding comfortless"-

She whispered the words In the
wild abandon of grief. Her career

career for which she had given up so
much. suffered so terribly. worked so
hard--her career was over. She would
never sing again.
The Ave words echoed throughoue
her being. The wind seemed to echo
them They seemed written in letters
OF fame across the window-pane.
