 Jim walked over to the window and started out at the firef1y city Iy- ing below. He was silent for a mo- ment or two, and I dared not break in upon his thoughts. At last he turned to me, and there was some thing in. his face I had never seen there before. Scorn, Scorn and con- tempt When he spoke I knew both those feelings were for me.
 ''So Dalton is in business with the bunch that ruined my father!" he said grim1y. And you tell me that as if it made everything all right Maybe his being here with CarIotta think But his being in business with her father is yellow. That's flat. And if have my way Jeanie'll start di- vorce proceedings tomorrow. I'll go on the stand for her,
 HJim, his being in business with them isn't yellow" I protested. 'It was done for the most unseIfish of motives. I can't tell you now, but truly it's white.''
 I wanted to pour out the story of Pat had made to help Neal. But I dared not risk it just then.
 ''Now, for the books" said Jim at last, leading me to an inner office and unlocking a heavy. padlocked desk DO you know the date of any of these transactions of which you ac- cuse poor WeSt-your pet scapegoat?,

 cottage which I am going to, enter" eW turned a corner in the lane as he spoke, and there was the building close beside us- A yellow bar falling across the black foreground showed that the door was not quite closed, and one window in the upper story was brightly illuminated. As we looked, we saw a dark blur novin g across the blind.
 Grant Munro. You can see for yourselves that some one is there. Now follow me. and we shall soon know alI."
 We approached the door; but sud- denly a woman appeared out of the of the 1amp1ight. I could not see her face in the darkness, but her arms were thrown out in an attitude of entreaty.
 For Gods sake. don't, Jack!" she cried. T had presentiment that better of it, dear! Trust me again, and you will never have cause to regret it-''
 'I have trusted you too long, Eff1e," he cried, stern1y. "Leave go of me! I must pass you. My friends and I are going to settle this matter once and foreverl He pushed her to one side, and we followed closely after him. As he threw the door open an old woman ran out in front of him and tried to bar his passage, but he thrust her back, and an instant after wards we were all upon the stairs. Grant Munro rushed into the lighted room at the top. and we entered at his heels.
 It was cosey, we11-furnished apartment, with two candles burning upon the table and two upon the mantelpiece. In the corner, stopping over a desk, there sat what appeared to be a little girl. Her face was turned away as we entered, but we could see that she was dressed in red frock, and that she had long white gloves on. As she whisked round to us, gave a cry of surprise and hor- ror. The face which she turned to- wards us was of the strangest ivid tlnt, and the features were absolutely devoid of any expression An instant later the mystery was explained.

c. H. D.-Every time I finish the Kind of picture I like, I get a flood of letters like yours, saying: Please please! Why the vampirish parts when you are so sweet as a nice, in nocent girl? And as a. result I can never play what I like best.
 Why the vampire parts? Because l love to act and playwrights and noveHsts and scenario writers seem to have conspired always to have given any part with dramatic possi- bihGeS to a very bad woman. There is Camille, and Zaza, and Lady Win dermere, and most of the big stage successes, all of them women of far far too much experience.
 In a way, it is logical. When a sweet, young girl loses the man who has been bringing her candy and flowers, she is disappointed; perhaps she cries a little if there is not some other nice young man to help her drown her troubles in an ice cream soda For an actress. to do more than look disappointed or cry in such part is to play out of character and give an lnartistic performance. It takes a woman whose Knowledge of life and love make her feel deeply enough about the situation to make

1.-THE PLAYS THE THINGn

@ Our old and often n1is-quoted friend, William Shakespeare, once said :: .'The plays the thing!" It was many years ago when he wrote this, and the fact that motion picture producers are beginning to realize it, proves that William knew what he was talking about.
 For long time now we have been surfeited with stars. So long as the leading lady or the leading man was popular, why, the picture would go over with a whoop, reasoned the pro- sducers. But something has hap Fpened to make them change their opinion, and that something is the public. The public, after all, is what counts, for it pays the bills is the .scourt of last resort" If the pub- lie doesn't like the picture it falls fiat.
 This holds no brief on the stars Nor does it mean that there are to, be mo future ones. There are great artists who will always have a world wide following, but the lesser con stellations will not shine so brightly.

 How proud we are if we have a piece or two of this most famous old ware to show to adniring friendsi And how envious they are-with jus tice.

 The spring suits are many of them scaloped and faced in some light color. Navy blue serges are thus made very dressy by scalIoping, the skirt and facing them with gray or tan or jade green. Some of the serge dresses have jagged or saw tooth edges, also faced.
