When Diana Farwell’s mother overhears talk of love between her daughter and a schoolboy friend, she Is fearful that she will “go wrong” like her sister, Vivian, who ran away from home four years ago. So the mother hastens a marriage of Diana with Arthur Vane, some years older, a successful San Francisco lawyer. Diana is only 18 and goes into marriage believing “Arthur is so different from other men he always will be satisfied with merely spiritual love.” He respects her reserve, as a young girl’s shyness, at first. Then, after many months of loveless wedded life, he tells her she has wrecked his life. Some time after her mother.dies Diana leaves Arthur and finds her long-lost sister, Vivian, living In a luxurious apartment, packing for a trip to New York. Diana arranges to rent a room at the home of Mrs. Burton, the widowed friend of Diana's mother, and to go to Seton's School of Acting to prepare herself for the stage. After visiting Mrs. Burton, she returns to Vivian’s apartment. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XX f" a"I MAN was there. One of the I .A. I distinguished - looking L£—J men she had evere seen. With a face as hard as nails, ironjawed, powerful, and exquisite manners. Diana was thrilled when he kissed her hand and murmured, “Little sister, I salute you!” “How do you do,” she, replied, politely. “This is a dear friend of mine, Diana. Mr. Jason Winterble.” “She means,” little sister thought, excitedly, “that here is the donor of the gifts." He was a large man, heavy set. He made her think of pictures of Mussolini. There was something of the dictator about him. Power radiated from him. Immediately she had invested him with the glamor Os romance. If it had been for love of him Vivian had left her home, she could not find it in her heart to blame her sister. He was wonderful. Vivian seemed nervoup, but she said, quietly, “Take off your things, dear, and have some tea, Mr. Winterble is just going.” “Your sister tells me you are interested in the stage.” “Oh, yes,” Diana answered dreamyeyed, “I enrolled at Seton’s this afternoon.” “That is a very fine school. Shepherd Seton has a reputation even on Broadway. He is one of the few Western producers whose name is recognized.” “Oh, have you lived in New York City?” Diana asked, innocently. “It is my home.” He said it casually, but Diana did not miss the flash in Vivian’s eyes. She would have preferred his silence. Why? Fearful of the answer. Diana drew the curtain on her own powers of reasoning. She did not wish to know. To her he must remain a charming gentleman, a frien'd of her'sister’s. But she was relieved when he rose to go. His departure was so formal that it reassured her. “If they were lovers,” she thought, “he would have tried to see her alone.” When he had gone Vivian seemed herself again: Sne inquired with interest about Diana’s plans. Apparently pleased to know she was

to leave her in the care of Mrs. Burton. “You’re sure you have money enough?” she askedl “Yes! Only mother’s Income Is not going so far in San Francisco. I was amazed at the tuition, Vivian. Just for one month . . And that doesn’t include private lessons.” “Take everything you should. Even if you have to use some of your capital. Don’t skimp on either clothes or training. Live in a hall bedroom if necessary, but have the best preparation money can procure.” Even Diana could appreciate the astuteness back of that advice. Vivian continued: “Looks, my dear little sister, are half of any game. But they aren’t all of it.” Diana looked about at the beauty Vivian seemingly had thrust upon her. “There is no limit,” she had said, “to the things some men want to do for you.” Diana wondered if there were really men who were willing to bestow gifts on a girl merely because she was beautifuL “Your things are just gorgeous,” she said .shyly. “No wonder you’re happy.” “Happy!” repeated Vivian, lifting winged eyebrows. “Well, perhaps I am. As happy as any one ever is.” Diana was puzzled. Vivian must be happy in such luxurious surroundings, adored by such an interesting man! “Yet she doesn’t look it, she decided. “At times her expression is almost bitter.” They dined at home quite simply. By 10 o’clock Diana was in bed. She had hoped Vivian would ask her to accompany her. Mr. Staunton had said she knew all sorts of artistic people. But although Vivian departed in somebody’s car at 9:30, she made no sign of a suggestion that Diana should be included. “Good night, dear,” she said. “Go to bed and get your beauty sleep.” Diana did not know when her sister returned. She was sleeping heavily when Diana rose at 8. About 10 she heard the high-pitched voice rather irritably demanding orange juice. Diana ran to her door. With her eyes clouded with sleep, Vivian was marvelously beautiful. She said crossly, “Don’t speak to me until I’ve had something to eat.” Diana walked away, to be recalled by silvery laughter. “Come back, dear, I didn’t mean it. My head is bursting, but I mustn’t take it out on you. Sit down here by the hed and talk to me.” “Oh, dear,” thought Diana simply. “She would certainly tantalize a man.” After lunch they said good-by. Vivian promised to keep in touch with her sister but she did not ask Diana to write. “I’ll look you up,” she said, “as soon as I come back.”

“But, Vivian, that may be a long time. I may not be here by then.” “If you go away leave your address with Mrs. Burton.” Diana promised but she couldn’t help wondering if Vivian really intended to sec her again. Yet she seemed to be fond of her. Was she going to New York alone? Or with Jason Winterble? with tears in her eyes, she put the thought away. So far as she had seen there had been nothing wrong about her sister’s life. It was wicked to start imagining things. The week-end with Mrs. Burton and her “six” left her frantic for action. Monday morning she took a street car, then found she must walk two blocks to her school. It was then she saw a teapot, dark blue and squat and “comfy,” like the one she had bought for Arthur. Her throat tightened. “Dear old teapot,” she whispered, hungrily. . It gave her all the comfort of a familiar glance. For a moment she wondered if marriage had not made her too old to go back among girls or her own age. She had an instant’s homesick longing to run in and take the teapot in her hands. Then a wave of courage swept her. She was free now to do as she wished. No time for weakening. Without another glance she plunged into the maelstrom of the traffic. Diana loved it. It brought her closer to San Francisco. She was to be part of it now. Every morning she would take her place in this long human stream. The excitement of it sent her feet flying down the sunny street. As she passed the Little Theater where the school produced its plays, her heart pounded. Would she ever see her nome there in lighted letters? Diana! Then she stopped within the sacred portals of the school itself. Her hands were lumps of ice. But on the whole it was easier than she had expected. Dancing came first. She had been told to bring a middy, bloomers and ballets. When she entered the dark little dressing room, she found two girls, already in the first stages of undressing. They had slipped out of their clothes and were cavortihg about in “teddies.” But while one was deliciously pretty, the other had the impudent features of a street gamin. Diana discovered later that this girl had been educated in a convent, but in her three months’ freedom had managed to pick more than her share of worldly wisdom. She rattled off the most shocking information with an insouciance which made one wonder. . . . Both girls looked Diana over. “New girl?” asked the impudent one. “Yes,” Diana smiled. “What’s your name? Mine’s Beachy.” “Diana Vane. Is It Miss Beachy?” “Just plain Beachy. Beachy, the naughty one. Beachy, the unquenchable. This other shrinking violet is Barbara Dean. Bab for short. And one of our ‘stah’ pupils.” Bab laughed. She was a darling “We are glad to have you with us, Miss Vane Don’t pay any attention to Beachy.”

The room began to All with girls, until no one noticed the newcomer. Bab introduced her to a few of them and their chatter went merrily on. She was not included, but they seemed to accept her presence as in no way a barrier. There were but two topics of conversation, men and the plays they were studying. Diana though their opinions were both naive and clever. They spoke with a startling frankness of sex, yet their inexperience was evident. Beachy saw her standing, fascinated, in a corner. “Better run along. Mamselle has a temper like the devil. So she joined the scurrying group, through the dark hall, past the property rooms that looked so interesting. up the steep stairs and into a sunny ballroom. Bab had advised her to roll her stockings. She was hotly conscious of her bare knees and a group of quite young men in ballets and rather soiled white trousers. It would have taken more than a dimpled knee to rouse these veterans, but Diana was grateful that Arthur could not see her as she crossed the room and approached her dancing teacher. Mamsell was small and wiry, with snapping eyes and quantities of black hair. She wore a short skirt

and hideously unbecoming sweater, but she had beautiful legs and tiny feet in bright red slippers. She was speaking with much animation to the pianist, a lank young man without much hair And they continued their conversation, ignoring Diana. When they had finished, she said, “Madamoiselle, I am anew pupil.” She felt the full force of those black eyes. “You have studied dancing before?” “Not this kind of dancing. But I have always danced.” “Well, use your head,” the French woman snappeL “Class at the bars; two lines!” Diana took her place at the end of one bar, her cheeks flaming. She wanted to run, ignOminiously, from the room. But she forced herself to stand quietly and try to take possltions. She knew she was awkward and rather stupid at catching the quick directions which were followed so rhythmically by the swaying, dipping lines. By the end of the hour every muscle in her body was aching. After the class was dismissed, Mamsell called to her.
