To forget the bitter troubles Of

cegts the invitation to visit the New

queen, Alma Daley. The visit IS sug-
gosted BY Harry Lontajne, who hopes
to revive has fortune by forming o

Ninth avenue, Lucinda muses. over
the break with her husband, Beliamy.
Wealth, youth, and beauty had
failed to bring happiness to their
Fifth avenue home after five years
of married life Bellamy's heavy
drinking and promiscuous flirtations
had destroyed her early love for him,
And now, Richard Daubeney, her old
sweetheart had returned to New
York.
At the studio arrangements were
made for the members of the party
to pose before the camera.

co ON WITH THE STORY.

And Mr.. Willing was to under
stand that these were to be regular
tests and no monkey business; he
was to see that someone with plenty
of know-how helped the ladies make
up; after which he was to shoot the
party as a whole in some little scene
or rather, in addition to making in
dividual close-ups.
A compliment signalized their
screen debut; the presence Of Miss
Dalcy-''in person" composed, hos
pi,able, showing every anxiety to
make their tests successful.
81 thought it would be nice if we
coul' all have tea" Miss Daley eX-
plaincd--make regular little scene
oil it,"
I'm sure that would be delight
full. replied Lucinda, suspended
Judgment melting into liking even
in those first few minutes.
Miss Daley was tactful enough to
make her guests forget themselves
and the trial to come, as they took
their places-and were served with
tea by actor-waiters in correct
livery. All the same, Lucinda no
ticed that their hostess ingeniously
Unanswered to a central position in
the foreground, where she sat full
face to the camera; this being by far
her best phase And Just before the
lights blazed up, the girl launched
into spirited account of her pas
sage-at-arms with King Laughlin.
Clever actress that she was, Miss
Daley extemporized star part for
herself by rising without warning
and announcing that she would have
to run and change for the scenes to
be photographed.

At first glance, the huge main
room of the Palais Royal seemed
less frequented by clients than by
walters; but the influx of the form
er was constant, and when a gang
of incurable melomaniacs crashed
blared and whanged into a jazz
! fox trot, the oval dance, floor was
quickly hidden by 5waying couples.
For some minutes Lucinda sat
looking out over without seeing
these herded dancers, only aware Of
the shifting swirl of color and the
| hypnotic influence of savage mIsic,
her thoughts far from this decadent
adaptation of jungle orgies which
she had come to witness And
presently a smile began to flicker in
the depths of her eyes.
OBJ she said, rousing when
Daubeney uttered a note of inter-
rogation-"I was thinking about
this afternoon, remembering King
Laughlin moping and mawing in his
magnificent delusion that he was
conducting an orchestra"
you don't know about the hand
some offer Mr.. Culp made me, with
his wife's approval, just as we were
going away" she continued.
Dobbin frowned. What kind of
an offer?"
ITO become a movie actress under
the Culp banner, a sister-in-art to
Alma Daley"
DO you mean Culp actually had
the impertinencc-"
ooh, come" Lucinda's amusement
subsidized "Mr. Cup was most kind,
at least he meant to be. He said he,
his wife and his whose
opinion he values more highly than
any director's-all agreed had
shown a great deal of promise; and
that, if | cared to try it on, he'd be
glad to give me good part in Miss
Daley's next picture, and if | made
good that he'd form a company to
star me-"
what rotr'
very well, Dobbin. Let's say no
mere about it."
The constraint that fell between
them like curtain of muffling
folds, was presently emphasized by
an abrupt suspension of the music.
When Daubeney could endure it no
longer, he broke it with a question,
the most impohtic conceivable: '.You
didn't tell me what answer you gave
Culp, Cinda?"
Didn't /? But I'm sure it doesn't
natter
But his manifest penitence earned
him no more than a show of restora-
tion to favor. The heart in Lucinda's
bosom felt hot and hard and heavy
with chagrin, she had banked so con-
fidently on Dobbin's sympathy
Don't let's talk any more for a
