Virginia Fairfax, daughter of the first families of Virginia, rebels against the puritanicaI rule of her grandfather and, Iured by FilmIand, runs away to become motion pie ture actress. Arriving in Los An geles, she meets Gloria Summers, who is in the movies. They become warm friends. GIoria--Ria to her friends takes Virginia to find work in the movies. At the service bureau they see Herbert Richardson, a wealthy young man who has been interested in Golria. Virginia registered for work and the girls return to their kitchenette apartment. There Gloria tells Virginia the story of Herbert Richardson nnd the ring he gave her. Gloria shows Virginia some beautiful ieweiry given her by Herbert Rich- ardson. Virginia is amazed, especially when she learns that they are not en- gagged. Gloria explains that it's the game among the people of her world. Virginia cannot grasp the idea. Gloria explains to Virginia how n class of people of great wealth and leisure flock to Los Angeles the worlds playground and cultivate the stnrs as the elderly women cultivated Herbert Richardson--and gave him jcwelry edid not want. Gloria con fesses her feeling for Herbert Bich- ardsOn, who has dropped her friend ship. She loves him and yet she hates

him as type of man dangerous in q community. Gloria suggests that Virginia may be the next object of wealthy Herbert RichardsOn's affec- tion.,
 GIoria's Tears
 "oh. yes, there will be more than 57 varieties. Virgie.' asserted Gloria. There will be just as many varieties as there are girls who appeal to Her bert Richardson-if he has his way about it.
 Herb never sees new girl that he does not try to attach-her to him. self, provided she is pretty. I mo- tieed the way he looked at you to- day, Virginia"
 Then you saw more than I did, Ria. for he was looking at you every moment And it seemed to me that beneath his hurt pride there was kind of wistfulness with which he tried to cover cynicism."
 'Virgie, I think he respects me more than any other girl he has ever met He knows 1 am human-very human but he also knows that l am going straight.
 Sometimes I think he imagines that because I never have been in love have resisted all temptation. But oh Virgie, I love him-I wish I did not. l have myself for loving him.
 T would make him good wife. Don't you think sop she asked wist- fully. '.He needs some one like me- some one who could be sensible and broad and tolerant. 1 really think I know him better than he knows him self. And I wouldn't be jealous of him, because I would know that it was only curiosity most times that persuaded him away from a lot of these people who only prey upon him."
 l did not know just what to say It was all so strange to have q girl tell me that she loved a man so devotedIy, whom she was not sure loved her at all.
 l just put my arms around her a Iit- tie tighter and rested my cheek against hers, which was all wet with tears.
 God is good to me. virgie. after all do not think l could have gone on very much longer alone. And some way God knew it-and so He sent me you"
 What wonderfully beautiful thing to say to me, Gloria"
 Is It? didn't mean it that way. just mean to tell you that I had al- most reached the end And that was beginning to be afraid-afraid not only of Herbert Richardson, but myself But now that you are here and can talk to you. am all right again.
 And new we must go to bed. I'm almost sure you will get a call to- morrow from the service bureau-afd besides, want to make q few changes In those frocks of yours.
 Anyway, I'm glad you're here, for l guess 1 was getting d little loony being alone so much It doesn't do a girl any good to sit around, to wait and think, does it?"
 She gave herself a tiny shake and blew an impudent little kiss to me from off her fingers as she went through the door into her own room
 I'm sorry I made a fool of myself. virgie. Forget it, won't your" she called.

 oh, forget 1t. forget it."
 All right, dear. it Is forgotten.
 And tomorrow will be another cay ou know"
 Ria said no more and pretty soon knew she had forgotten her troubles Tor through the open doorway I hear her breath coming and going as softly as that of sleeping child.
 It was long before I slept Every thing was so strange, and some way envied Ria; yes. with all her trouble and sorrow over what she felt was unrequited love, I envied her.
