DIANA?

SEGIN HEBE TODAY iana Farweli’s mother overhears talk of love between her daughter and a schoolboy 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 with Arthur Vane, some years older, a successful San FranCl Diana W fs eI only 1? 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, at first, as a young girl’s natural shyness. But, after 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, preparing for a trip to New York. Diana rents a room at the home of Mrs. Burton, widowed friend of Diana’s mother, <nd enrolls in Seton’s School of Acting. Within a few months she has progressed so well with her school work she is taken by Shepherd Seton, head of the school, as his personal pupil. He arouses in her. in the impassioned love scenes they rehearse together, sensations she has never had before. •• Vivian returns to San Francisco and is furious when Diana admits she is in love with Sdtbn. Diana suspects Vivian has warned Seton to leave her alone, so she telephones him to come to her room. Seton and Diana visit a roadhouse together. .... Diana decides to ask Arthur for a dlvorce. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLVIII DIANA thought Arthur looked tired, but he greeted her pleasantly. She was gripping her pocketbook ■'frith both hands as she asked, "Arthur, did you mean what you said about giving me a divorce?” - His lips tightened. "Why? Do you wish to marry someone else?” 'Tes! That is—l’m in love with someone.” She saw the knuckles of his hand whiten as he grasped the back of a chair, but his voice was calm. "So that’s it. You are in love.” He added, “But you thought you were in love with me, too.” Feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, she replied, “Yes, I did. But this is different.” "For his sake I hope so,” he interrupted. “Oh, please don’t be unkind,” Diana cried, and sank weakly into a chair beside his desk. “I’m unhappy enough without your adding anything.”

Arthur sat down too, and began to tap on the desk. * She noticed the pencil he was using was one she had given him. And it made her a little more hopeful until she reminded herself that it probably meant nothing to him. Merely a pencil! That brought a faint smile to her lips. “What are you unhappy about?” Arthur insisted. “If you’re in love with this bird and he wants to marry you ...” Being Arthur, he would have to be insulting to the unknown third party. Diana told herself his remark w’as typical and injected more spirit into her own reply. “How can he ask me to marry him when I’m already married? What would you do if you were in love with a girl who had a husband lurking in the background?” “I’d run like hell,” Arthur responded, gloomily. “I , see no necessity for being vulgar,” Diana replied, with dignity. ‘‘No? Well, the fact is I haven’t much sympathy for the broken hearts of those who are already married. . I sit here and listen to their stories day after day. It’s disgusting. And you of all people The old. flushed uneassiess was in his face, but instead of turning from it Diana slid closer and touched his arm. C “But that’s what I’m trying to tell you, Arthur. I’ve changed.” He pulled away from her and began to pace the floor. "so you’re not a little, white, goddess after all.” “I never was,” she faltered. “If you had been sweet to me as you were that first month. ...” “I wonder how sweet your other lover would prove under the same circumstances,” flared Arthur. “I was too sweet. That was the trouble. Because I was older and more experienced I let you get away with it. But I should have forced you to be my wife . .

“Arthur, please!” “Don’t bother to pretend with me, Diana. You’re not so sensitive. If you were you wouldn’t have fallen for this other fellow. ...” Jealousy and longing rang in his voice. And she was achingly sorry for him. Because in the light of her own pain she was at last able to comprehend his. But what could she say? She waited in silence until he stopped to ask, “Who is he, Diana?” “I don’t like the way you speak of him ” she objected. "He is a real man. 'h man any girl would be proud to marry.” “What’s his name?” “I’d rather not tell you that yet,” she hesitated. "You see, he’s married, too.” Arthur stared at her. "Do you mean he will have to get a divorce, too?” “I suppose so,” he said, innocently. "But it will be all right. They haven’t any children.” Arthur sat down again and, obviously striving for a more professional manner, he said, “Let me get this straight. You are in love with each other and wish to be married, but both of you are already tied.” “That’s it,” Diana nodded, nervously. i s It sounded so different stated baldly like. that. Arthur continued, “Is he living with his wife?”

“I don’t know,” she replied, startled. “She’s been away, but she is coming home today.” Something worldly wise and cynical in Arthur’s smile made her want to hang her head. “I see. She’s been away. Are you sure the gentleman in the case is thinking of marriage, my dear?” Diana began to cry. “I think you’re horrid. ...” "But are you?” he insisted. “He wouldn’t be, of course, if he felt as you do about such things. The fact that we’ve all made a mistake shouldn’t necessarily ruin the-rest of our lives.” “No, it shouldn’t,” Arthur agreed. “But the ordinary husband is more reluctant about admitting his lack of judgment than his less reticent wife. It’s the women who crave divorces, Diana.” “All right,” she said, drying her eyes. “Then I’m' only proving myself perfectly normal. Because I want one and if you won’t advise me how to go about it I’ll have to go to someone else.” “You’ll have to do that, anyway,” he said. “I’ll make an appointment for you with one of the best divorce lawyers in the city. But it will not be necessary for us to be divorced. ..." "Why not?” “An annullment can be obtained.” When he had finished his ex-
