 'Of course I had everything to contend with, being southern Miss South said. My mother is the old-fashioned kind who thinks it is simply awful for a girl to mention going on the stage, and I had every possible obstacle to hinder me, but pluck and sheer determination car ried me through, and I've never been sorry minute that I started to be a singer"
 You sec she explained, q had studied with William c. Whitney in Bos- ton, and then later I went to Madame Kaufman in New York, and they both encouraged me tremendously about my voice. although MT. Whitney thought 1 had a mezzo while Madame Kaufman declared it was a shame to spoil a per- fectly good coloratura soprano. Isn't it funny how teachers differ? I believe in women studying with women when it comes to voice, and men with men; be- cause a woman understands a woman s voice better than a man ever could, and vice versa. Anyway, I finished with Madame Kaufman and then began my eventful career"

For a long, happy while life moved for the Temples and apparently for the Bretts, too as if no complexities had ever beset them. Wanda Lau- renee had certainly made clean, slic- ing operation in cutting David free from Rose Brett. So thoroughly awakened was Rose to the amazing fact that her comfortable, amiable, self -effacing husband was human like other men and not immune to femin- inc wiles that she devoted herself to Carter in a way which would have been amusing were it not so earnest and so deeply appreciated on his part
 Carter Bretts first important act ill his new-found independence was to place David under his own personal supervision. David worked with new vigor under Brett's direction. For there are few red -bloded men who find real satisfaction in having woman boss"
 Notwithstanding his new joy in his work. David seemed a shade depressed and irritable. He did not appear to share his wife's and Wanda's rejoicing al the ldIIe1 s II1uIHpH. 0Oid AiAAeAiiS insisted on knowing why.
 Aren't you glad, Dave, that Wanda made Rose Brett give you" she was about to say give you up," but tact intervened in time. more time for us to spend together?" she con cluded
 sure I'm glad" he answered nor osely.
 "Then what's troubling you? I can see something is.'
 Well. if you must know, l don't like Wanda's way of doing it." he an- swered with some spirit, No nice woman has any business to use her sex charm on any man but the one she loves It is too much like selling it."
 Why, Davy, what a horrible way of putting what Wanda has done" Cora was honestly shocked. "She has done nothing Mrs Brett didn't do to you Yet you never blamed her.
 Two wrongs don't make right, he rejoined lamely.
 "'Well, now that I've got you more for myself I won't even say Mrs. Brett did wrong" smiled Cora, conceding the point readily enough. But you talk as if using her sex can mean one thing only-selling it. Most women, Dave, can no more help using their sex than they can help being women. Every time a woman smiles and sparkles, every time she put on pretty frock, or entertains, or flat ters, or does things :n woman's own way, she is using her sex charm. Where's the blame in that?'
 "Oh, I mean using it deliberately to gain some end she could not gain otherwise" David protested. Tt isn't nice thing to do"

HER SIIDE-=-ANID HIS
THE TWO-EDGED SWORD
By ZOE BECKLEY

Life has a way of putting prob 1ens up to women that aren't nice replied Cora. For centuries and cen turies women have had to use charm to earn them necessities. 1t is wom- ans first weapon. It is only in recent years she has had any other recourse. There are many cases where she still has no other defense. Don't you see that?'
 David had no answer.
 "There was r. Cora continued, with the disagreeable not to say tragic problem of getting Rose Brett to let me have enough of your society to keep me from-from forgetting you. It was not a nice problem. Nor would you let me use my natural womans weapons-charm. coquetry- to win my case. Then Wanda good friend that is, came to my aid and won it for me. After alE what did she do? She only made Carter Brett like her-iust as you liked her"
 Cora was astonished at the vehe- mence with which David burst out.
 "Preciselyr" he cried. She made him like her as I didH'
 Cora started as he went earnestly on, Don't you see that making man like a woman is apt to make him keep on liking her even after she is through"
 Something in his manner, some sug gestion of personal feeling on his part sent flash of fear through Cora. Was he speaking for Carter Brett or for himself? She would not let her self think Abruptly she turned to another subject.
