and although she had nerved herself
TO this meeting. she was aware that her
heart was beating up in her throat. and
that she was abSurdly shaken. when she
finally turned away and dropped grace
fully into one Of the big easy chairs.
Although she did not look in his d.
roctiOn again, she felt his eyes upon her
from time TO time. She was conscious
of him even when she took part in the
discussion Of the play that followed,
and because he had this amazing effect
upon her she forced herself to be un-
usually gay.
Copies Of the play were distributed,
and Carol turned the pages curiously.
She wis anxious to know what kind Of
a role she would have, and the name
promised grent deal. IL was called
DRIVEN but before she had time to
more than scan the first page she heard
Grace Marriott call out gayly:
/ You're to have the part Of the wife,
Carol, driven by heDhusband who thinks
+ of nothing but business, into an affair
with another man.
! Aud, OF course, I am to have the
part Of the other man. said Jcrvis
Britton in his curiously deep voice.
AT least I hope / ain the role Of the
husband doesn't appeal to me very
strongly"
Carol felt that his eyes were draw
ing hers, but she kept her face reso-
lutely turned away.
Grace laughed lightly. "Yes, Mr..
Eritton. you're to have the part Of
the other man, and Tom Secley will
play the husband. The minor parts
are as follows and Grace read the list
aloud.
Tom Scelcy got up and crossed over
to Carol who turned TO him gayly.
She had known Tom for years, and she
was absolutely at ease, with him. 1t
was relief TO be able TO give him her
attention and to escape for a time from
those compelling gray eyes that drew
her SO re,cntlessly.

Dazey and Agnes c. Johnson, although
it is difficult to understand how two
persons could have used their time In
concocting this tale of the worldly couple
who are brought together after their
temporary estrangement by a. little child,
just as many other couples have been re-
united in the past In the story every
body was very rich. The hero wore silk
hat and walking coat to the Westchester
County Horse Show, the heroine did not
hesitate to embrace her maid and the
deserted child in the care of his stern
English nurse wore cloth of gold paja-
mas. OF course only the very rich could
possibly be allowed to do such things.
