LETTER FROM BEATRICE SUM-
MERS TO LESLIE PRES
COTT-CONTINUED

COTT-CONTINUED
You're a very clever girl, 1
thought, as I watched Paula. I do
not know where you learned your
lessons Of life, but you certainly
have don 1t too well to have learned
it in the short time you have been
before the camera.
I think n of the great fascina-
tons about Paula, my dear, is her
righteousness. No one in all this
gossipy little town has been able
to put his little finger on an in
discretion of speech or action of this
girl, and yet she eve gives you a
feeling that she does vt know. She
never makes you feel that she is
innocent, but she does give you the
impression of a pure mind.
Why Is 1t that men will always
confound innocence with purity
when they think of women? limo
cence means nothing but lack Of
knowledge-it is not virtue but a
state of mind, and, In this day of
plain speaking, innocence lasts a
very little while.
I once heard a mar boast that his
wife was n child in thought when he
married her, Thai she knew nothing
Of the world, the flesh or the devil.
1t Is needless to tell you that this
man was not young, for he boosted
that he had taught his wife all she
knew about love.
After the nan had left he was
calling upon Dick and mel, my hus-

your paper?" she asked. When l
told her it was not she picked up the
newspaper on the lounge beside me
and glanced at 1t. But soon she put
the paper to one side, and began
talking.
She told me she was from Mis-
souri,, and had been in Indianapolis
only a short time. She did not say
she was lonely. but 1t was quite
evident she wanted to have a
neighborly chat. Evidently she
counted on our Hoosiar hospitality
to prevent her being snubbed.
I hope l did not fail her.
When she left, with a smile on her
face. 1 got to thinking about this
neighborliness, and 1 decided that
folks are conventional and formal,
frequently, at the wrong times. 1t
is right that girls should be warned
against flirting, and against taking
up" with strangers.
But 1t is possible to be neighborly
without endangering ones self.
surely.
HoOsier hospitality Is n Of the
features Of our State. No n chould
be lonely because Indianapolis has
forgotten how to be neighborly.

band told me that two years after
marriage this innocent woman had
eloped with the mans best friend.
She had apparently changed her in
nocence to q knowledge which she
had not the purity of mind to resist.
l am very anxious indeed, Leslie,
to know the man that Paula Perier
will marry. She will make a good
wife for someone, and yet sometimes
| think she shrinks from ever al
lowing love to come into her life.
She is a very good friend to many
men out here. but again 1 must tell
you that while many men have
seemed to be in love with her, no
one has for a moment intimated that
she was in love with them.
I asked her outright the other day
II she ever intended to marry and
she. answered honestly, Il don't
know, Bee."
You see we have become intimate
enough to call each other by our
given James
II am not saying that I will never
marry, but just now 1 am more in
terested in my acting and sometimes
l hope thar l shall never fall in love
with any man." she continued.
II never want to wish for a MAJ
to be always beside me. 1t must be
agony, particularly If, as you 80
often see, that man is more interest
ed in some one else than he is In
you
II have always wanted to know
what a wife thinks under those cir.
cumstances."
Surely you know. Paula, most
wives kick up an awful mlss." 1
said.
But that Is not always the best
thing for them to do" she answered.
"In my close observation I have
come to believe that the wife is not
only the houseekeeper and the home
keeper, but also the lovekeeper Of
the family"
1 hope this rambling letter will
interest you. Anyway l have writ.
