have done In another way by pursuing
the time-honored and rather cowardly
plan Of entering q convent, she wal
soon to discover that success In the
undertaking brought deeper sense OF
exile than she could have imagined
herself able to endure at the outset
She found herself more utterly alone
and friendless than at any time In her
life. The chance companions she

men, young and old. depressed her. In
stead OF encouraging that essentially
feminine thing called vanity. She
lived as one without an aim, without q
single purpose except to close one day
that she might begin the next.
After time. she went on to Lu
csrne. Here the life on the surface
was gayer. and she was reused from
her state OF lethargy In spite of her
self. Once, from her little balcony In
the National. she saw two OF her old
acQuaintances In the chorus at the
Gaiety. They were wearing many
pearls. Another time, she met them In

which there were but three ways Of es

them, denied another the privilege oi
making love to her, and declined te
play auction bridge with all Of them
They were not long in dropping her, al
though 1t must be said there was real
regret among the men.
From Mrs. Rowe Martin and other
she heard that Mrs. Redmond wran
