A Woman's Business By Zoe Beckley

THE PLAY. "They applauded as though they ' were doing It out of duty!" Janet said pressing her already wet tiny ball of a handkerchief against her lips. Walt paced the manager's office, too wrought up with the tension of emotion to speak. Only Rowe essayed a faint smile as he quizzed the little bronze Idol. "Can't much tell from the applause after the first curtain," he said, undecidedly. "They may warm up. They may be thoughtful.. They may be puzzled. They may feel that the cap fits. They may want a different version or they may not like It at all! Audiences are queer things." Walt, who had decided that the audience had already given an adverse verdict on the play, looked up with a glimmer of encouragement. He knew Rowe would put the case exactly as he saw It "When shall we be able to tell?" he asked. Janet looked up nervously for the answer. "Perhaps at the end of the next act." Rowe said. "Perhaps not till after It's all over. Perhaps not till the critics have printed their reviews. Maybe not even then. The dear public has a way of doing Its own criticising that often does not agree with the way the newspaper Solomon-Wises see it." They went back to their box at the buzz of the curtain announcer. , To Janet and to Walt the occasion was painfully tense. It had been a gradually Increasing strain from the "V time the manager gave Walt the order for the play; through the writing of it; through the considerable re-writ-Jng; through the casting and rehearsals and finally the first night at Rowe's big theater. Had they felt that the applause was sweeping and contagious, the tension would have become vibrant Joy. But the handclapping at the end of the first act was formal. Janet alternately thrilled at the fine rendition Walt's play was getting on the stage and grew cold at the seeming lack of response from the audience. She knew what Walt was going through, In spite of the pursed-up lips through which he let no word of comment escape. At the end of the play, Rowe said: "I have never had to wait so long to find out the verdict. I don't know yet!"

Janet and Walt begged off from attending a supper party after the play. Instead they followed close behind a young man and his wife, who had come out of the theater. They got Into the same car and sat down In the seat directly behind them. They were an entirely undistinguished pair, thoroughly typical of the great body of average theater-goers. But Bhe was dressed with a touch of extravagance for the walk of life in which the man with her undoubtedly worked. . The Stedmans suddenly grew very selfconscious. "How d'Ju like the show, Jen?" the young man asked, glancing sidewise at his companion, as though he were treading on dangerous ground. The girl looked away and then stirred uneasily. 'Oh, pretty good," she said, without

enthusiasm. "Gee, that woman in the play was some pill, wasn't she, spending all her husband's money that way?" "Think so?" the man said, lightly, pretending to be reading the newspaper. The girl kept silent for a few minutes. "Say, Billy, I ain't like that to you, am I?" she asked anxiously in a low voice. "N-no, I guess not," the man replied. "But here's the restaurant Come along!" "No!" she said, decisively. "We can use them six dollars for some

thing better than a snack In a cabaret. Besides, you gotta get up early to work tomorrow!" , The young man sank . back in his seat with a relieved expression. . "You're a good kid, Jen," he said. (To be continued.)
