most apt to make mistakes

not good to search the mind too deeply.
We are apt to think ourselves 700 com

of the walls, letting the cool air in, and
building a coy log fire if we become
chilly. Women wrong themselves, as

but he says ne know. of course, it
isn't true, mater It's perfectly ridicu-
ious- Mr. Hurley is always most gra-
ciOuS, but ne is really more d1gnI1led
than when Mrs Hurley was with him.
She's actually started the suit out west
where her parents live and where she
claims q home. evidently trying to save
the long wait necessary to establish
a residence.
But. I started TO tell you about the
dinner last night / had three Of the
girls who have parts. One OF them was
the leading woman, who IS very charm
ing. She hadn't paid much attention
TO me before. but when she saw the

wants to continue the acquaintance o.
Mr. Hurley. who is generally recog-
nized as very powerful Mr.. Springer
was there, of course, and so were two
other men. both very good looking and
both business associates of Mr.. Hurley.
One Is Ralph Dunlap and the other IS
James Davitt. an Irishman- Davitt is
very witty, very keen. He satirized
everybOdy's weakness in a word.
We all had the time of our lives
The dinner was gorgeOusly served and
Mr.. Hurley was an admirable host II
was absurd the way the leading wOmn
Miss Vardin played up TO Mr. Hurley.
Take it easy" said Mr.. Davitt. well
have him sent to you tomorrow. She
just laughed and said she would take
him now, if she could have him" She
is a divorced woman. She was for
merly married to a doctor. That's
nothing against her. of course, but it
should argue a little more dignity.
She shouldn't jump at a man that way
as though she were going TO eat
him.
We are leaving for Atlantic City
this morning-the company. I mean.
We open there tonight Mr. Hurley
and Mr. Springer are coming on a later
train. They are to have a box. Mr..
Davitt also said he would get down.
wish YOU could be there, mater dear.
It will be a wonderful night in my ca
reer. But I guess it is just as well
that you are not to be there. 1t would
make me panicky. Wish me good
luck, mater dear
