BEGIN HEBE TODAT When Diana Farrell’s mother overhears talk of love between her daughter and a schoolbV friend, she Is fearful that Diana will "go wrong" like her sister. Vivian, who ran away from home four years before. So the mother hastens a marriage of Diana and 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 lbve.” He respects her reserve, at first, as a young girl’s natural shyness.’ But, after months of loveless wedaed life, he tells her she has wrecked his life. Some time after her mother’s death Diana leaves Arthur and finds her long-lost sister, Vivian, preparing for a trip to New York. Diana rents a room at the home of Mrs. Burton widowed friend of Diana’s mother, and enrolls In Seton’s School of Acting. Within a few months she has progressed so well with her school work sne Is taken, by Shepherd Seton, head of the school as his personal pupil. He arouses In her. In tne ’lmpassioned love scenes they rehearse together, sensations she has never had before. Diana falls passionately In love with Seton. Arthur refuses to divorce her. Seton’s wife goes East for six weeks and Diana notices a coolness In his 'attitude toward her. NOW GO ON WITH THE BTOBT CHAPTER XLII ARTHUR sounded pathetically grateful. "I was afraid you wouldn’t get my message,” he said. “Would you like to come down town for dinner?” Diana’s first Impulse was to refuse. But, except for her rare engagements with Seton, life was exceedingly monotonous. She had no social contracts. No opportunity of meeting men other than the rather callow youths at school. These had no appeal for her after knowing men like Arthur and Shepard Seton. Unlike Nadine, she had no taste for the unsophisticated. Her taste was more discriminating. If Arthur would be "nice,” and surely he would, since the Invitation was his

own Idea, she thought she would like to go. % “What’s the answer?” Arthur asked, pleasantly. “I will 'be glad to go, Arthur. It’s awfylly nice of you.” “Not at all,” he replied so pleased that Diana was ashamed. But she asked him not to call for her, preferring to meet him down town. Some Impulse of diablerie made her wear the black chiffon lingerie Arthur had purchased on their honeymoon. And he seemed the delightful companion of those earlier days. Attentive, interesting. . . . Her ideal of a man before she had met Seton. “You’re looking unusually pretty, Diana,” he said. “Evidently your work you.” He work had not been mentioned before. Realising his lack of sympathy, Diana had hot cared to discuss it. Now she found herself eager to tell him. Stranger still, she wanted to confide in him about Shepherd Seton. How wonderful he was. What he had taught her. How at last she learned to love With an effort she restrained herself. But she did explain the plans for putting her on at the Little Theater, and outlined the plot of the play. “I can’t imagine you in a part like that,” he said, simply. “Oh, but you see I’ve learned a lot lately. I’m a year older than I was!” Arthur sighed. “I can see you are,” he said. She found herself feeling sorry for him. He was such a “peach.” What a shame she couldn’t love

him as he desired! At that moment a woman passed their table. She was alone, and her languorous, silken grace had something dangerous'in it. Every man in the room was conscious of her. Yet only to Arthur did she lift her eyes. To Diana’s surprise she nodded with a faint, half-reproachful srille. Her eyes suggested secrets. And Arthur acknowledged her recognition with the color deepening in his handsome face. It gave Diana the queeret feeling to see him looking like that. Although, of course, it was nothing to her. Absolutely nothing! She pretended not to notice and chatted gayly on. But it compelled her to remember something she thought she had forgotten. The old. exciting rumors of Arthur’s will-o’-the-wisp career. Perhaps, after all she needn’t be sorry for him. He asked about Vivian. “Vivian is home,” she replied. Arthur smiled. “I know it. How did you suppose I got your telephone number?” “Prom Mrs. Burton?” “No, indeed. Vivian telephoned my offices and asked me to be sure to call you.” “Did she give you my address, too,” Diana asked, coldly. “She did. But don’t let it disturb you. I shan’t come to see you without being invited.” Diana was furious. She resented Vivian’s high-handed methods. Also it completely spoiled any pleasure she had felt in her evening with Arthur. “The dinner invitation was not your own idea, then?" “Os course it was. What’s the matter with you. Diana?” “I won’t have Vivian drumming up dates for me,” she complained, childishly. Athur looked pleased. “Don’t worry. Wild horses couldn’t make me invite a girl to dinner unless I wanted to.” His eyes wandered to the table, where the mysterious lady was sitting alone. • Altogether it was an evening of surprises. Utterly different from anything she had expected. He did not mention her return. He did not ask to accompany her hortie. As he put her into a taxi he said, “Thank you for a dilghtful eve-, ning.” And walked down the street. Leaving her wondering . . . Yet the moment she closed her eyes her thoughts were all of Seton. . . . She entered his studio Wednesday

to find him reading a letter. Although he crammed it into his pocket she knew instinctively it must be from his wife. And it dampened her enthusiasm almost as if the other woman had been there. It was ridiculous the way she felt about his studio. That was hers. He had no business reading any other woman’s letter there. Smiling at her own idiocy she greeted him eagerly. But her first Intuition was right. The letter was an intrusion. The spontaniety of their greeting was dulled. Both were uneasy and self-conscious. And her work suffered. “Not so good, Diana.” “Oh, I know it. I’m sorry.” “Never mind. You can’t ring the bell every time.” His voice sounded discouraged. He
