the door Of the room opened.
Elise, turning, had first only quick
glimpse of two white shirt fronts back
ed by the nebulous black Of male eve
ming wear. Then she recognized the
men.
One was Maurice Brunei, the all
powerful entrepreneur, owner of the
theatre, whose word could make or
break anybody in French theatrical
circles--anybody, that is. except Lo-
lette. He was a big man, stout, with
face slightly flushed on the cheeks
and hard, straight mouth UNDERLYING
by solid jaw. His eyes were gray
and small and quick, set deep under
heavy brows.
The other was that Count Mordac
who was, at the moment, Lolette's most
favored sutton, and whose attentions
to Elise had assisted in arousing the
dancers wrath. he was a wealthy,
cosmopolitan financier of dubious an
cestry, dark man, slim, with mar
row white hands and eyes like black
pools in shadow; suave, man, who
always spoke softly and with smile.
Old Heloise, seeing who the visitors
were, withdrew, and Elise stepped for
ward with the intention Of replAcing
the heavy silver brush on the dress
ing table and followed her. In doing
this, she stubbed her foot against the
leg of Lolette's stool and stumbled, 30

slid to the feet of Mordac, while she
Brunei put out his hand and caught
her arm.

spectator of some little episode with
which she had nothing in common, but
which she very well appreciated.
Mordac was picking up the brush.
Elise, now steady on her feet, looked
up at Brunei, who still gripped her
arm and smiled down into her face.

Marthe was disappointed and lay
