He got up abruptly and looked
at the reflection of his face in a
square toilet mirror that sat atop
q mahogany highboy. 1t was the
first time he had ever really
studied himself.
He beheld the head and face of
a young man in his middle
twenties. So far as he could tell,
1t was just an ordinary counte-
nance. He looked about the same
as anybody else-his forehead was
rather square and the brows
above the blue eyes were black,
like the thick hair neatly brushed
back on his head. But behind
that ace--what kind of mind
did he have? Was there any
thing in him capable of develop

CHAPTER TEN

Eddie thought he detected q
note Of antagonism in old Tobe's
manner. The black man had read
his mind concerning Marian Thorn
dixie and had told him frankly that
hts secret hopes were vain.
~ didn't say anything about
making a play for Miss Marian,
did I?'
sIt was the first time he had
ealIsd her Miss Marian the first
tHne. indeed. he had ever referred
t0 any girl by such collOquail-
ism. IN New York fellow simply
called girl plain Peggy or Sadie
or whatever her name happened to
be. but II was pleasant TO use Miss
Thorndike's name in this manner.
She would naturally expect him to
call her Miss Marian" If he hap
pened to mention her at all
'.Where do you get that stuff
linking me with Miss Marian?" he
demanded.
The negro eyed him with a duh
stare. 'Scuge me, sub -mebbe
All uses nah mouth too much"
The odd part about it was that
Eddie was not disheartened by
Tbbe's prediction that he would
have no success with Miss Marian.
Probably the old fellow was pref
uAiced against him because he was
an outsider. Still, much useful in.
formation might be gained from
the black man.

CHAPIER EllEY I'm
Penfield Paradine, that evening,
insisted that Eddie dine down
stairs.
You've been guarding my sick
room Off and on all day like a
watch dog, the older man said
with feeble, courteous smile.
I'm not going 10 have you eat
your dinner off d tray up here az
though you were an invalid your
self. Tobe is going to fix you
real dinner in the dining room.
Sitting alone at the broad ex-
panse OF the dining table, Eddie
was acufeiy conscious Of a spirit
OF elegance that fingered In the
room. from old. all but forgotten
DAYS.

than any Eddie had ever seen be-
fore, but 1t was cracked and nick
ed from clumsy handling; the
knives and forke we're heavy sill
yer. Shadows doomed in the room
and there was a FURNISHED gloss
from the wide eideboard. Vacant
chairs were all around him-had
the table been extended with extra
leaves the room could have accom-
modated, almost. a banquet.
There moved across his mind a
succession of restaurant pictures
wherein he had eaten from porce-
lain topped tables, or from cloths
spotted with red wine and drops Of
gravy. Frowsy mattresses came
back to his vision; menus grease
stained and stuck in little metal
racks. He could see his fellow
patrons eating with gathering
tableware and pale coffee drooled
in thick sauceFs.
Yes, this was q better. more dig.
nified way of living than any he
had ever known. He would eat
carefully; like a gentleman, he
would make no noise. As old lobe
put the dishes before him Eddie
chose his implements with care.
Amid such surroundings 1t seemed
inpolite to be careless of little
things.
His mind began playing him
tricks. Somehow, ne could fancy
Marian ThorndiIe sitting with him.
An understanding came to him
that eating was something more
than filling the stomach; it could
be social pleasure, time for
aesthetic realizations. It might
represent an attitude toward life
IAN association of intellect and
affection and charm.
The image of Marian Thorndike
before him filled him with a
glowing. warm delight. He in.
vented q new personality for
himself-he was still the same

he had gathered deeper things
to himself. a new knowing con.
fidence to wipe out any feeling
of inferiority. Thew would be

was a. civilized being. They would
talk about books and things like
that. They would discuss ro-
nance and would be understood.
They would be nadly In love
with each other forever He was
unaware Of. what he ate.
With an effort he shook off
such glamorous dreams and left
the table. Tomorrow, he knew.
he must begin to find some kind
of work.

1t was true--tie stricken man

fled.
The eyes that looked up from
the bed were steady and clear.
Now, at last, Penfield Paradine
had neither time nor patience for
the conventional activities of such
a crisis.
"FIelI young man, i don't want
to fool with a doctor Fostering

that old Judge Jones would come
some time before sunset. The Judge

life.

 do not say this in any spirit of criticism. X cinema artist could, in fact, turn the criticism back on me. 1 also do not mean 10 imply that cinema artists dress badly. A woman with character and origi- nality always looks well but there are other couturiers who are spe- Cialized in creating stage dresses and can meet the requirements of both stage and screen.
 A dress which is destined to be worn on the stage always has to be more striking, more nearly of the costume type, in order to look effective The theatrical style of dress is also necessary in the movies and consequently is not in any way related te the Patou style, which explains why do not count many actresses among my. clientele.
