"You don't say anything. Nora
Lee. But I guess you know a
few things yourself. Anyone can
see that Dane Herrick's foolish
about you"
Nora Lee flushed. She could
write very glibly in her diary about
love, but it troubled her to speak
Of it. She was not awakened in
the sense that Connie was, or
even this Madonna-like Virginia.
Faces repealed her. She could
grow very bitter facing them. She
did not think well Of God that
He had coupled so beautiful a
thing as love with any: physical
order. It showed an astohish.s

agination.

Love would be ain affair of souls

touching, of two who were young
kissing and expiring to float in
immortal aloneness, immortal bliss
gazing through eternity into each
others eyes.
She said now holly: II don't call
al that love. Perhaps love ends
In kissing and petting. But it
can't begin there. It's not love
Il 1t does. 1t can never touch
Q persons spirit. Real love be-
gins In the mind. You have to
love with your soul first and
your soul will send down a fire
to touch your heart, then all the
rest Of you joins in because it is
such mighty thing. And that's
Q love worth having. But what
you're talking about is nothing :.
bat skin thrill that even a
chimpanzee could feel!
CHEATIN ONES SELF.
"And there's nothing to it but
cheapness and stupidity and any
one who goes after it only cheats
herself. And it never lasts"
Virginia stopped down and turn
cd her stocking carefully right
side out. Tears hung on her
lashes. She WIS afraid to brush
them aside. She said in a soft.
questioning tone: kissing isn't
cheap if you care for a person
and sometimes you can't help it
that things are peasant and that
you want someone's arm around
you"
Nora Lee felt the blood fly to
her temples. She was suddenly
remembering Maxwell's Reeds
hand, the drawing music of his
voice, the fascination that had
kept her listening; had made her
careless of his arm at her waist.
She slumped down on the pillow;

'IF WE EVER START IN"
Sallie whispered in her ear
when the light was out: "It's
dangerous to talk of these things,
Nora Lee. And it's not quite as
clear-cut as you pretend, is it?
Virginia outsmarted you that
last time, ole dear. Darn right
we can't help it that some things
are pleasant. They made an
awful muddle of us, didn't they?

Nora Lee lay awake long after
Sallie and Virginia slept. She
felt as though flame instead of
the blanket wrapped about her.
She went through the converse
ton with Reed again and again:
she recalled that she had raised
her head flirtatiously to meet his
brilliant eyes; she recalled and
was filled with horror raaliziu1

LOYALTY OF THE
MOB SPELLS
SUCCESS

Personal following creates theat-
rical stars, the larger the follow
ing the greater the star. IL this
argument is right, Valerie Bergere,
who appears at Keith's next week
with her own company, is one of
the most prominent luminaries in
the theatrical armament.
Miss Bergere several years ago
quit the legitimate stage to enter
vaudeville, where she determined
to be permanent fixture. She
brought with her not only a fine
acting ability, but an ambition
and intelligence.
Her reward has been a follow
ing that seldom is found in the
theater. Her name has become
synonymous with superior effort
and by giving her public the best
plays obtainable and the best cast
obtainable and the best work she
was capable of doing, she has be.
come one Of the successful stars.
A few Of her vehicles have been

Miss Bergere has revived "Judg.

to be her best vehicle.
