Miss Kemble tried to help. She
asked Daphne to step aside and watch
while she went through the scene. But
she was so unnerved that she forgot
her own lines and had to refer to the
manuscript. while Eldon waited In
acute distress and Daphne, looking on,
said "Oh, I see. / think understand
it now Then she forgot it all again
at the repetition. Somehow the re-
hearsal was worried through to the
end and Patterson dismissed the com
pany with sarcastic thanks. Then he
went to Reben to demand substi-
tute.
Daphne went home, dreading her
fate but not knowing what the verdict
was. She felt sure that it would be
not guilty of dramatic ability. She
was worn out with the exposure of, her
own faults and uncertain which she
feared the more-tO be dismissed or
to be accepted. The latter meant I'M

At the elevator she found Tom
Duane. He had just telephoned up
to the apartment to ask if she were in.
There was welcome flattery in his
frank delight. She asked him up. Tom
Duane was electric with cheer. He
praised Daphne with inoffensive heart
mess and insisted on hearing the his
tory Of her progress. She gave tha
worst possible account Of her stupid

depreciation.
"Everything's got to begin" he said.
"Some Of the greatest actors are bad

They seemed to be surprised that
Daphne was stu in existence. Eldon
gave her a curious smile Of greeting.
She heard the call boy crying "Over-
ture" about the corridors. She heard
the orchestra playing ''the kings
piece" Then it struck up a march
that sounded remote and irrelevant.
There was loud swish which she sup
posed to be the curtain going up. An
actor and an actress in white fiannels
with tennis rackets under their arms
linked hands and skipped into the well
Of light. They banded repartee for
time.
Eldon, speaking earnestly to Mrs.
Vining, suddenly began to laugh soft
ly. He laughed louder and louder and
then plunged into the light.
A little later Eldon came off the
stage laughing. He dropped his laugh

sumed his anecdote. "As 1 was say

CHAPTER xl.
skunk out,

she woke early next morning. IL
was just six o'clock. She remembered
that her father would be arriving in
two hours. She decided that it would
be a pleasant duty to surprise the
poor, old, neglected codger by meeting
him.
At the Grand Central station Daph-
ne found that she was nearly an hour
too early for the train. 1t amused
her to take her breakfast at the lunch
counter, to Chamber on. the high stool
and eat the dishes of haste-a cup of
coffee and a ham sandwich. 1t was
pleasant to wander about alone in this
atmosphere of speed, the suburban
trains, like feed pipes, spouting
streams of workers, the outbound
trains drawing their passengers to far
off destinies as if by suction.
At length it was time for the train.
Daphne went to the rope barrier OPP
posite the door of entry and waited
in ambush for her father.
At length she made out rather
shabby man carrying his own luggage.
1t was her father. He looked older
and seedier than she remembered. He
did not expect to be met. He was
looking idly at the new station. He
had not been to New York since it had
been thrown open.
She ran to him. He dropped his old
suitcase on, the toes of the man follow
ing him and embraced Daphne with
fervor. He devoured her with his eyes
and kissed her again and told her that
she was prettier than ever. All about
them there were little groups embrace
ing and kissing. There was wonder
full business in reunions.
When her father said, 81 haven't
had my breakfast; have you?" she lied
affectionately, "No."
Lets have some breakfast to-
gether."
'Fine," said Daphne. SVEN go to
the Biltmore."
''Kind of expensive, isn't itY" he
asked anxiously.
''It's my treat" she said.
This amused him enormously. $50
you're going to treat, eh?"
"Yep." she said.
where did you get all the money!"
'I'm working lady now"
He laughed again and shook his
head over her.
''What did you mean by saying you
were a working lady?" said Wesley
when they were seated at the table
and breakfast was ordered. ''Your
mother wrote me something about hav-
ing little disagreement with you.
She seemed to be right worried, so I
thought I'd better run on to see If I
couldn't sort Of smooth things over.
I'm glad you came to meet me. We
can talk without interruption for once.
Tell me all about it,
She told him the whole story of her
decision to join the great social rev.
olution that is freeing women from the
slavery of enslavlng the men. Her
peroration was her new watchword:
II don't want to take any more money
from you"
"Why, honey" he protested, 81 love
to give it to you. l only wish had
ten times as much. I couldn't dream
of letting you work. You're too pirty.

Anyhow, it will be great help to me

Bayard spoke with unusual solem-

that. But Moses got ahead of him.
When he handed down the Ten Com

"What was it," said Leila with a
minimum of interest.

Leila shrugged her handsome Shout

away his forebodings and lift himself

While Leila and Bayard and Mrs.
Kip were putting on their festal robes
Daphne was eating alone hasty meal
brought up tardily from the restau-
rant.
Before they were dressed she had to
march out in what she called her
working clothes. The mailman ran to
call her taxicab, but she shook her
head. Her humble twenty-five dollars
week would not justify chariot to
and from the shop.
She walked rapidly along Fifty
ninth street, but not rapidly enough to
escape one or two murmurous gal
lants.
She found Patterson quarreling with
a property man over the responsibility
for broken vase. He ignored her till
at length she ventured to stammer:

Finding seat was no easy task.
Every piece Of furniture she selected
became at once the object. of the
scene shifter's attack and she had to
take flight.
Members of the company strolled in,
paused at the mailbox and went to
their various cells.
Eventually PATTERSON found that all
the company was on hand and in good
health. He said to Daphne, 'Every-
body is here and nobody sick, so you
needn't stay after the curtain goes
up"
But She wanted to learn her trade,
so she loltered about. feeling like an

Gradually she realized that Duane's
hands were on her shoulders. He was
squeezing them as If to keep her from

was close to hers, and he was MUIR

The advance of silk for making
many things that used to be made Of
cotton has been insidious and rapid.
For frocks as well as blouses. smocks
and underwear, silk, in the washable
varieties, has come to be a powerful
rival of the sheer and lovely cotton
fabrics that belong to midsummer.
The choice lies between crepe-de-chine
or crepe georgette and organdy when
the daintiest wash dresses are consid-
cred. Gradually the proportion of
silk garments In the lingerie wardrobe
grows larger and silk stockings have
outdistanced those of cotton.
But organdy need not fear that its
place will be usurped. even by the
loveliest Of delicate wash silks, like
georgette, because organdy has a
crispness that makes ii irresistible for
hot weather frocks. Nothing can look
so fresh or so comfortable when the
thermometer is hitting the high places,
and nothing is lovelier In white and
pale colors.
Two midsummer frocks, one made
of organdy and one of crepe-de-chine,
invite comparison in the picture above.
They are both simple and stylish, both
deceptively fragile looking. for these
sheer materials will stand much wear
and look as well after laundering as
before, providing they are washed and
ironed as they should be.
