Three weeks passed. There were
almost twice as many first-nights.
"Ilory Ogden." as Ciavering called
her for want of the truth. was at
each. She never rose in her seat
again-and. indeed. seemed to seek
lnconepicnousness, but she was sl-
maye in the second or third row
of the orchestra. and she wore a
diluent gown on each occasion.
As she entered after the curtain
rose and stole out before it went
down for the last time. few but
those in the adjacent seats and
boxes were edincd by an! details
at those charming creations. al-
though it was noticeable that the
visitinl of both sexes was most
active in her neighborhood.
For by this )time she was "the
talk of the town." or of that im-
portant and excessively active
minded section of Greater New
York represented at first-nights.
The columnists had commented on
her. One had indited ten lines of
[tee verse in her honor. another
had soared on the wings of seven-
ieenih century English into a pan-
tgyric on her beauty and her halo
of mystery. A poet-editor—wit had
tlcpcd her “The Silent Drama."
Had it been wartime she would in-
svitably have been set down Q a
Ipy. and as it was there were dark
mfercnces that/she was a Bolsho-
vilt agent who had smuggled vast
sums of‘moncy into the country
and passed it on to the Reds.

But there seemed to Ks not the

She had been seen striding around

high laced boots of soft pale

she found herself surrounded with

footlights. it was evident that she
had a sense of humor, for as she

entrance a. smile twitched her
month more than once. Clavering
thought that she was on the point

fumed. "Damn them! They’ll
