At the Strand.

Reaching For the Moon featuring
Douglas Fairbanks, Is being shown at
the Strand as a repeater. It is photo
play combining comedy and sensational
dramatic incidents. and while it Is
picture in which Mr.. Fairbanks is oS
no means seen at his best. wide range
is given him for the display OF his
athletic skill and the exercise OF his
artistic ability.
The scenes are laid in America ana
Europe. and the story deals with Alexis
Caesar Napoleon Brown. who becoming
a student of the teachings OF Ne"
Thought" becomes obsessed with the
idea that by concentrating all his faci-
litics upon a desired end he wouio
eventually attain the goal. The play
is meant to be philosophical IN its
theme, analyzing the psychology OF
happiness and discussing the question
OF what constitutes success.

She refused to hear q word more
In those circumstances. I'm coming
straight down." she said, "and well go
somewhere for lunch. Don't you reai-
lie that we can't talk about 1t ike
this7 OF course you wouldn't, but It's
so."
Over the lunch-table she got as de-
tailed an account of the affair as ROD
ney. In his somnambulistic condition,
was able to give her, and she passed
II on to Martin that evening as they
drove across to the North side Tor
dinner.
"well, that all sounds exactly ike
Rodney" he commented. Il hope
you'll like the girl|
''That isn't what hope" said Fred

concerned about. l hope I can make
her like me. Roddy's the only brother
I've got In the world, and I'm not go
Ing to lose him II can help 1t. That's

AS 1t happened, though, she forgot
all about her resolution almost with
her first look at Rose. Rodney's at
tempts at description Of her had been
well-meaning; but what he had pre-
pared his sister for, unconsciously
of course, in his emphasis on one or
two phases of their first acquaintance,
had been a sort Of slatternly Amazon.
But the effect of this was, really, very
happy; because when a perfectly pre-
sentably clad, well-bred, admirably
poised young girl came into the room
and greeted her neither shyly nor
eagerly, nor with any affectation OF
ease, n girl who didn't try to pretend
1t wasn't critical moment for her,
but was game enough to meet 1t with
out any evidences Of panic-when
Frederick realized that this was the
Rose whom Rodney had been telling
her about, she fell In love with her on
the spot.
Amazingly, as she watched the girl
and heard her talk, she found she was
considering, not Roses availability as
a wife for Rodney, but Rodney's as a
husband for her. 1t was this, perhaps,
that led her to say, at the end Of her
leave-taking: "Roddy has been such
q wonderful brother, always, to me,
that l suspect you'll find him, some
times, being brother to you. Don't
let 1t hurt you If that happens"

CHAPTER VI.

The First Question and Its Answer.
Roses instructive attitude toward
the group Of young to middle-aged
married people into which her own
marriage had introduced her was
founded on the assumption that, allow
ing for occasional exceptions, the hus-
bands and wives felt toward each
other as she and Rodney dld-were
held together by the same Irresistible,
unanalyzable attraction.
Oh, there were bumps and bruises,
Of course! She had seen Rodney drop
off now and again into n scowling alb
stractlon, during which 1t was so evil
dent he didn't want to talk to her, or
even be reminded that she was about
that she had gone away flushed and
wondering, and needing an effort to
hold back the tears.
These weren't frequent occurrences,
though, and did not weaken her Idea
that, barring tragic and disastrous
types-unfaithful husbands, cold, mer-
cenary wives-whlch had to be ad-
mitted as existing-marriage was a
state whose happy satisfactoriness
could, more or less, be taken for
granted.
1t was something that Slmone Gre
vile said which gave rise to her first
misglving that marriage was not, per-
haps-even between people who loved
each other quite as simple as 1t
seemed. No one has studied our lei
sured and cultivated classes with more
candor and penetration than this great
FrancO-Austrian actress. She had
ample opportunities for observation,
because, while she played to houses
that couldn't be dressed to look more
than third full, she was enormously
in demand for luncheons, teas, dinners,
suppers, Christmas bazaars, charity
dances, and so on.
Rose had met her q number Of times
before the incident referred to hap
pened, but had always surveyed the
lloness from afar.
She hung about, within earshot
when 1t was possible, and watched,
leaving the active duties Of entertain
ment to heavily cultured illuminate
like the Howard Vests, or to clever
creatures like Hermione Woodruff and
Frederlca, and Constance Crawford,
whose French was good enough to fill
in the interstices in Madame Greville's
English.
She was standing about like that at
tea one afternoon, when she heard
the actress make the remark that
American women seemed to her to be
an exception to what she had always
supposed to be the general law Of
sex attraction.
1t was taken, by the rather tense
little circle gathered around her, as
compliment; exactly as, no doubt,
