LETTER FROM SYDNEY CARTON
TO PAULA PERIER
MY DEAR GIRL:

1 always expected this OF you. |
knew, when the occasion arose, you
would rise to it. You can close the
book now, and although it has been
rather tragic. yet in n way you must
be glad that you read it clear
through TO the end: for l am sure you
have learned that loving is not
all of life, and that the greatest pain
must cease some time.
A very charming woman told me
the other day that people were very
foolish to worry. She said: IF che
has trouble, you may either help it,
or it may overcome you. Don't worry
about it, If you die, it won't worry
you any more, and if you work it
out, you don't need to worry any
more" Rather good philosophy, isn't
il?
Great Friends
I'm awfully glad you saw Leslie.
Paula. for under any other circum-
great friends. l always thought this,
and I know it now since I received
your letter after you had met Leslie.
1t was a brave thing Of you, my
dear to decide not to make any
trouble about the boy. OF course [
know you really could not do any
thing unless you made Leslie so mis-
cradle that she would voluntarily give
the baby up and l do not think she
would do this under any circum-
stances
Leslie, you know, has a Very
tenacious sense Of duty, and having
taken the boy into her home, I think
she would feel she could give him
better bringing up than you. I do
not think she WOULD feel this because
of any moral scruples whatever. but
because your work necessarily would
keep you away from him. You could
not give him the mothers care that
/ she can give.
But a Dream
You Will also forgive me. Paula
If 1 say 10 you that as the years &c
on your hurt will grow less and less
and the boy will seem but a dream
TO you. Your fate is 20 be that OF
a great cinema queen.
I am not sure I would wish that
fate for any woman that cared
much for. for all the women 1 have
ever known. and have known three
or four, that We're on the stage, ant
who were successful actresses OF
singers, I have known none that wa:
particularly happy. One has to pay
FOR the plaudits of the public by tn,
J.
AS things have turned out my
dear. I am glad you went back t.
Albany. 1t was a triumph for yot
outwaTdly as we'll as inwardly Yot
made all those supercilious womer
rather envious Of you, and - know
that you made me very proud OF
you For you not only conquered
their prejudices. but your own lesser
self.

but sometimes I feel like an Did. ole
man who has seen every phase OF
Efe. and yet who missed the one
great joy Of living.
Returning East
I am returning east very soon anC
probably viii miss you somewhere
elong the way. But again want to tel
you l am glad you have met Leslie

sweetness, and all her other splendid
qualities.
