SYNOPSIS Lily I.ou Lansing, vonng and iretty telephone operator, gives up ler opportunity for an operatic :areer to marry wealthy Ken Sar,ent. Ken’s parents had hoped their ion would marry (he socially prominent Peggy Sage and threaten to hare (he marriage annulled. However, the young couple go housekeeping and are ideally happy . Then Ken loses his position and. one night. Lily Lou hears him sobbing. Next day, Ken's father calls and informs Lily Lou her marriage has been annulled. Keeling Ken no longer cares, Lily Lou accepts a railroad ticket and $'>00 from Mr. Sargent and goes to New York. She rents a turnished room and through Maxine Rodion, one of the boarders, secures a position playing the piano for a dancing teacher. Later. «he and Maxine go to live witli the »eallhy Mrs. Paula Manchester, who-e hobby is befriending young arli-ls. Word comes that Ken is em: >c*d to Peggy Sage and Lily I.ou is depressed. Shortly after. Lily I.ou is stunned with the realization she is to become a mother. She l a*' for Ken, thinking how proud li< would itave been, hut refrains from writing him. She loses her po-ilion hut Dwight Gw in, the noted total instructor, employs her as In acromlanist and promises to git e In r in : - ng lessons. At times, l ilt Lou is vappy visioning a success) nl carer r Jilt there are also hours -I anguish when she thinks of her baby ur ! eels so lonely without ken. One day Nita Nahlman. the pn; alar op. ra singer and Lily Luu's icin', call' :
Clwin.
CHAPTER THIRTY Fiv:: Lily Lou went aff to a coin near the windows, to be out nl v way, but Nita Nahlman was i> much the actress to neglect ever, such an insignificant hit of audiom i t as the accompanist. She laughed, she pushed, -he shook and she sparkled. Lily Loti couldn't resist the magnetism of the woman. She couldn't keep her eyes off her. Gwin decided to be gracious. .“Nita, you must let me present my accompanist. This will he the biggest day of her life. Come over here, Lily. You're going to meet the great Nita Nahlman—” Lily Lou came forward, a little ahy, her cheeks flushed and Nahlman took her hand, and smiled down at her from her superior height and sighed, half laughing, “Oh, to he so young again! Dwight
— I’m going to weep!”
“Oh, to he great enough to transcend first youth, first beauty!"
Gwin smiled back.
“Oh, yes, I am still beautiful
enough on the stage. They still
come when Nahlman sings.” “Still comet I should say couldn’t even get standing your last night of Toscu.” “What! You didn't hear me! Rut
the whole of New York was there. How stupid of you. . . . Why d'dn't you call me? Why not? A woman, eh? What? A woman, you s(y one!" She began poking him playfully) th* :, with a jewelled forefinger. “You
men—all alike.”
Lily Lou would hove been for gotten, if Dwight had not hod rea son of his own for changing the
conversation.
He took her arm now, pushed hir toward Nahlman. “Stop badgering an innocent man, Nita Now you're here ait down for five minutes. See what you think of my latest.” “Oh, she sings—that one?” Nahlman looked at Lily Lou, with something like interest in her heavy-lidded eyes. She glanced at the small clock on a seventeenth century chest. “Yen, but in five minutes I must go. 1 sail WednesJay. I have three performances in Paris, then my classes for two months, and a concert series in England. My classes are so full! It will be wonderful. Bigger than ever,

She sank onto a sofa, waved

drummed idly a moment. Lily l.t-n could feel Her scalp twitching, each
separate hair rising hy itself. A dream of a lifetime, to be
heard one day by Nita Nahlman— but not now—not today, after a
sleepless night—
She clasped her hands, looked appealingly at Nahlman, studying the
bracelets on her wrist,
