bles that actually crackle in
milk or cream. One Of the

THE drawing room of the rehearsal
set has five windows" Walker explained
to me, each of them different from
the others. There are two sets Of
French windows, one opens in and one
opens out. Two sets Of easement win
dows are hinged similarly. Another
window raises and lowers.
In designing the set needed seven
types of doors. Each player must know
how to enter and leave stage through
one of these type doors. I have one
with portiere-a graceful entrance
through this type thing is most i'm

as often used because of their dramatic
effect; swinging doors that we use chiefly
for maids and buffers and the ordinary
solid door.
Every type of window is to be found
on the stage. I have had installed at
least dozen heights and types of chairs
and sofas, scores of small hand props,

she might read too much.
Stan was sitting beside Eunice and
on his other side was one OF the queer
est women Judy had ever seen. TALL
thin-almoSt skinny woman. Her skin
was SO dark that it seemed almost
coffee -colored. Her black lasheS were
stubby and heavily mascaraed SO that
they stood out in stiff points about her
small, greeniSh eyes. She wore her
black hair parted in the center and
brought smoothly down on either side
Of her thin brown face, SO that from
the front view she appeared to have a
Madonna look But when she turned
her head to speak to the man on the
other side Of her Judy saw that the
back was closely cropped, so that she
appeared weird combination OF nun
and urchin.
This hybrid quality was carried out
in her dress, half white satin, half
black velvet. She wore long, dangling
eardrops Of Calcutta workmanship
beaten gold and lapis. They swung
violently with every italicized word
her conversation.
She dominated the party with sort
Of determined animation.
Her conversation was full Of refer
ences to great people-whom she
seemed to know intimately and can
by their first names, if not nicknames.
She tapped men on the arm when she
talked to them.
Vera called down the table to her:
Patty Warren! Where did you get
hold Of those gorgeous eardrops? Are
those the ones"

moved it she was an ice-princeSS. Her
silver dress threw off scintiIlating
fire when she moved. Her small, per-

There was a diamond drop clasped
about her throat by a platinum chain
and a blaze Of bangles on her arm.
When she stirred the fragrance of
Mutt de Noel went through the room
And the owner of all this exquisite
loveliness was fat and middle-aged and

and there was such disillusion in her
voice that Nick Carter laughed.

can't think of Eunice wilson in terms
of the warm, brown earth that brings

There was dryness in his tone
which flashed her eyes to his face.
How oddly he was looking at her.

the reason for this lay in Georgia's S
usefulness to her friends Being bur-
dened with no husband, Georgia's S
apartment became convenient place
| for young married women to keep I'M
! conventional engagements. Georgia was
adept at arranging little luncheons and

bands and wives never met. Georgia
was the go-betWeen in exciting minor
| love affairs. faithfully relaying tele-
! phone appointments and reaping her
reward in careless gifts of gloves
and perfumes-theater tickets-dinner
parties. There were several women in
Lockwood who would not dare exclude
Georgia in their social affairs, no mat

judy had started at the sight OF her.
The beautiful unknown of the photo
graph in STAINS room! And at the
first glance, Judy found herself staring
with fascinated eyes.
She was at once lovelier and not so
lovely as the photograph. Her coloring
was exquisite; her hair a strange rich
gold, so perfectly arranged, SO lustrous
that it seemed carved out Of metal.
Her face was perfect oval tinted the
same dark cream all over. That pure
pallor of Eunice's made other women
with color on their cheeks seem
trivial-commonpl by contrast. Her
eyes were blue-not the thoughtful
gray-blue of Judy's, but brilliant
light blue, almond in shape and set in
long dark lashes, tiptilted at the cor
ners in a fascinating way. They
seemed, thought Judy adniringly, like
twin sapphires set in the ivory of her
face
Yet in the tograph-though it
lacked the charm of her unusual color
ing-there had been depth-a sug-
gestion of character which was lacking
in the actual girl. A trick Of the shad-
ows perhaps-the art Of the photog-
rapher-thought Judy as she gaZed
across the jonquils, fascinated. Ger
tainly the wistful charm Of the pic
tured face was not here tonight on
Eunice Wilson's perfect features.
Eunice contrived to make every
woman in the room seem a little dull
tonight She had come swathed from
head to foot in a snowy ermine cape
which seemed a. royal robe and had
