CHAPTER x.

The next day Patterson telephoned
her that he had called rehearsal
with the company. Daphne went to
the theater in terror. The stage
looked utterly forlorn with the actors
and actresses standing about in their
street clothes. Under the bright lights
with the people made up and the au-
dience in full bloom, like vast gar
den, there would be impersonality and
stimulation; but the present scene was
as doleful as the funeral of an unpop-
ular man.
Courage was largely matter of her
superself forcing her reluctant feet
forward. A soldier ordered ito leave
a bombproof shelter for an advance,
a playground of shrapnel, has just the
struggle with his vaso-motor system
that Daphne had with hers.
With the kindliest smile an amiable
wolf ever wore Patterson invited the
fiuttering lamb to come to the stream
and drink. Daphne came forward in
trance and heard Patterson say:
Ladies and gentlemen-Miss Kip,
our. new understudy. Give her all the
help you can"
Miss Kemble had graciously chosen
to be present for that purpose, though
the result was only to increase Daph-
mes embarrassment. An imitation in
the presence of the living model was
a double load to carry.

uttered it so deliciously that ripple
of joy ran through the audience.
Daphne tried to master the trick of it,
but with no success. She said "How
do you do?" in dozens Of ways, with
no result except to render the phrases
meaningless gibberish.
Daphne flung down the part she was
studying and flung away ambition, and
went out to tell the family that she
agreed with them.
She was confronted by Leila in
role Of despair. Bayard had tele-
phoned that he could not get home for
dinner. He would not be home in
time to take Leila to the theater as
he had promised.
Leila was in frenzy. She had moth
ing to do but wait for her man to
come and take her somewhere.
Daphne understood the tragedy of the
modern wife: lowered with freedom,
pampered with iamusements, deprived
of the blessing of toll, unaccustomed
to seraglian torpor, she must yet wait
on the whims or necessities of her hus-
band.
Daphne reconsidered her decisions.
Better all the difficulties and heart
aches of the actress-trade than this
prison loafing of wifely existence. She
had something to do.

him in an emergency and he always

Leila came home eventually full Of
gossip and triumph. Her Dutilh gown
had made a tremendous success; the
other women wanted to murder her.
Mrs. Kip broke in on her chronicles
with the dismal announcement of
Daphne's new insanity. Leila was al
most as bitter in opposition as Mrs.
Kip had been, but from quite another
motive. Leila had aristocratic i'm
pulses and looked forward to social
splendors. She would gain no help
from the fact that her husbands sister
was a theatrical struggler.
Daphne escaped an odious battle
with her by referring to the need Of
close study, and retreated into her
own room. locking her mother out.
She stayed there, repeating her lines
over and over and trying to remember
the action that went with them as
Miss Kemble had played it. She had
quick memory. but the intonation of
the lines gave her extraordinary diff
