 She lighted the cigaret and re- gardcd Sheilu. II hope don't seem terribly rude but I'm real ly interested in you. Ever since l saw you dance that night at Ire vors---"
 "As ? matter of fact sang" |" sheila said quietly. She recog- nizcd the girl now. She was one of tho cousins from boarding school for whom Lane had given the party.
 "Tndeed you did!" the girl re- piled without embarrassment. But you danced with Dick after. ward. And ] saw you several times dancing Ut the Club Volens last summer. think you're won- derful!"
 Sheila could not help liking this girl. The admiration in her eyes and tone were not feigned. She could not have been more than IS in spite of her veneer of

 The other girls eyes widened But this Is n job, isn't it? I'd lovc to wear nil these pretty frocks and walk around and lis- ten to Henri rave! I'll bet he can rave. tool"
 "Oh. he's all right"
 Well, suppose he's no worse than the stage managers" Dor othy interposcd comfortably. "I hear they say the most terrible Woth yVu eh1A JV' S ready to drop"
 I've manage to survive." Sheiln answered in amusement.
 The other nodded. "I really do wish I had job but Trevor says nowadays with Bo many people needing work it would be q crime to take q job just for fun"

 "DlckY He can't say much. He's so busy he doesn't know what's going on any more. He did say. though, 1t would be n crime for anyone to let mo have q job! Dick doesn't seem 10 think I'm very useful. You couldn't get me in here. could you? I'd love it"
 They were interrupted by Il boy with q message for Miss Ire vor. "Mr Stanley would like to speak Co you on tho telcphonc.' the boy told her.
 Dorothy turned toward Shclla. "It's Dick" she said. "I was to she put a hand on Shcila'S arm. where. Why don't you join us? I'll send word to Dick to pick ua up here. He'll love it. Hcnrfll let you go, won't hc? I'll ask him myself!"

 "Wcll---if It's all right"
 Dorothy rose. "rhen that's set ted" she said. "I'Il talk to Dick right now 'and tell him." She sped in the direction Of tho telc- phones.
 Sheiia, left alone. thought that tho reason this girl was So cordial was beca use of the glamour asS0- ciatod with stage life. That was why Dorothy Trevor had invited her to lunch. She would enjoy being seen with girl who had been the featured dancer in stage productions. m entertainer in one of the best night clubs. it would be something to tell her friends later. Hundreds of other people seemd to feel the same way.
 Don't let 1t bother you" the older woman had said. It's sim ply the way things are. After all. on the stage we try to bring glamour into the lives of the members of our audience. They live through the roles we play and they see us in those parts not as human beings like them selves"
 That was lt. An actress was supposed to bo "different." That was why Jerry had hurt her so cruelty. He didn't think anyone would expect him to be sincere with a girl on the stugc ms with ot her glrfn. That was why Doro- thy was excited by tho prospect of aing to lunch with her. fas.s. tta Gts.ssatsasaasfA
