Iwould give my eyes to be in it
to play "Althea Royce" It
probably won't happen, but it
might. And If it does, there's
nothing going to stop me.
I still build castles in the air
. I see myself in New York in a
comfortable apartment with the
baby and good nurse.
It's a swell picture, but my,
from here it looks impossible to
attain. First of all, there's Frank
Ign, with whom I am on fairly
comfortable termS-we don't fight
any more, he's very happy in this
home with me and he adoreS Mari
lyn. I'd have to bust that up and
break his heart-I feel sorry for
him because I made him marry
me, made him love me.
I'm quite fond of him because
we've been through a great deal
together, because he is a fine man,
but we are simply worlds apart,
much more than he realizes, be-
cause I play kind of game with
him.
Don't Think Alike"
am not myself with him. There
is a little bit Of me that's German
and middle-class, and that's the
part of me I stretch and expand
in order to be on some common
ground with him-and that's just
what it iS-common. Sometimes
it's pretty bad-we don't think
alike, we're not interested in any
of the same things.

A letter from George today
such q nice one. And little
paragraph that might turn into
something important for me.
Would you still care to be
Althea? The situation is this:
We haven't got one, but it is hard
to sell them all on you at this
distance. You don't really look it
and the fact you are not here to
act makes it all very difficult
Oh, dear.
Dinner with George
February 6, 1885.
I had a dinner engagement
with George Monday night.

next morning after 1 had seen
him. She had seen him Sunday
afternoon and they had had quite

ant, but a little jittery and
strained, I noticed. In the car on
the way to the Trocadero I said:
Feeling lowish?"
"M-n-yeah-I'lI tell you all
about it,"
We went downstairs to the bar,
sat down at a table and ordered
drinks.

through the floor.
Franklin called on him about II
o'clock Sunday morning. They
talked for about half an hour in
which FRANKLIN stated the reason
for his visit, shook hands and
parted-all very pleasantly.
Meaning in Doubt
He told George he knew he
could not completely fulfill my
life, that 1 needed other interests,
but the SacredneSS Of marriage,
the child was at stake and George
must be willing to take his share
of the responsibility involved.
What he meant by that, Spe-
officially or what he wanted George
to do, exactly, George couldn't
find out.
What he expected to gain from
the interview is more than l can
figure out. He doesn't yet know
1 know about it, It seems to me
probably in all honesty he loves
me and wants to keep me at all
costs and probably wanted to
frighten George into breaking off
with me.
I told George that if he wanted
to get out he could-hiS answer
was very nice. "Ill have no fare

don't want that"
George knows I love him-we
kid a great deal about the fact I

I once asked him why he had
never used the phrase Il love you"

be square with me
