George Bird" so very much Oftener
than she had Ann Evans that she
sometimes was half convinced that she
was George Bird-a sort of shadow

that Ann Evans had been lost in the

for Ann. She had come to the

couldn't have called her Georges sec

George and almost never talked to
her. George, you know, was at the
height of her stardom.
OF course, among those who admired
the brilliant little actress there were
always many who wrote, and to an
swer these letters with heart-to-heart
enthusiasm was the best sort of adver-
tisement for George. That is why it
was worth while to pay Ann SIS a
week.
II know you girls that work in the
movies have real hard life," wrote
one sutton. "It's a hard life for any
woman to lead, and if there aren't any

George would be much better off,"
Ann knew that most of the men who
knew the read George would have
been quite incapable of opening their
hearts to her, just in Difference to her
superior bank roll and overtowering
success. First Ann wrote the letter
that was to be sent, very much like
all the other rejection letters; and
then-and that was where she was
wasting time-she wrote the sort Of
letter that George might have written
-"just for fun" as she told herself.
And in that letter Ann who was beaten
