which the brilliant press agent en-
dOws his star, plus all the imagin-
ings of hermost sentimentally fertile
brain.
Even seeing my hero face to face,
as I daily did, did not pierce the
glamOr with which l surrounded him.
Consequently the manly letter which
Jeff wrote me only made its appeal
to an Indifferent understanding. It
began without saIutations:
I have just come, Paula, from
the wonderful evening with you, the
first one in all my life when 1 have
been privileged to meet you on the
plane of equality.
L know, dear, am no more
worthy to. take your hand in mine
now than i was when you were the
petted daughter of the millionaire
banker and I was freckle-faced, red
headed Jeff PerTygreen, who stood
outside the Gordon of your schoOlboy
admirers and worshiped you from
afar.
Paula, last night was the hap
piest and most miserable have ever
spent. 1t was Joy Unspeakable to sit
opposite you at that restaurant ia
BILE and look into beautiful eyes that
have lost none of their candid truth
fulness, even though they must have
seen many misunderstanding sights
since you began to earn your own
living.
Paula, everything have done in
my life has been done for you. You
have been the one great thing that
sought to attain. If I have had any
success in anything else it was only a
Joy to me because 1 felt perhaps it
would bring me little nearer to you.
Don't let me make you unhappy,
dear. 1t is something to have loved
you, and this little note is to tell you

the letter 1 received from jeff Perry
green.
And here is a queer thing, Margie.
You remember l told you 1 cried over
EaTnest's letter at the time and
smiled the other day when 1 reread
1t. Well, l smiled over. Jeff's letter
as read it in my dressing room and
the other day when I came across it
l suddenly felt my eyes smarting
with tears. Tears because l did not
realize Jeff's worth from the first. 1
have never yet been able to explain,
Margie, why fell so desperately in
love with Earnest LaWtOn.
L know some Of my infatuation
was due to the fact that at college
all girls talked lot of their favOrite
actors and attributed to them all the
manly virtues and manly beauty that
could be found outside of a ready
made clothing advertisement. 1
don't think one of us every thought
she would really meet an actor. am
sure1 never did, and so when I met
Earnest LaWton promptly endowed
him with all the virtues that could
possibly be tied up in masculine hui
man form.
Poor dear old jeff, on the con-
trary, was without any romantic
glamor. He was only the red-headed
grocery boy who used to deliver his
fathers wares at our gate, and even
then, when he had graduated from
Yale and become a young writer who
was being spoken of most glowingly
by the magazine editors as among
those present, he was still the red
headed grocery boy to me. Do you
know, Margie, up to that time and
years after I never took interest
enough in Jeff's writings to read one
of his stores.
"Margie, actors are the most ego
tistical Of men, and everybody knows
all men are egOtistical enough. Most
girls read so much about the actor
