Goru Dwight was more enthusi-
nstic than he had ever known her
to be over anything, and one night
he read the play to l select few at
her house. Abbott was there and
two other critics. on well as Suzan
Forbes and her distinguished con-
lort, De Witt Turner.

cioul and frozen demeanor com~

ful. Not. for them to encourage a
tyre and a confrere. as if they were
more friends and well-winners.
They left that to the others, but
after the last not had been dis-
cussed with fury. Abbott arose and
laid with a yawn:
“Oh. well, who" the use? it’s
about the hardest play for actors
ever written and the audience will
either crack on that last act or pass
away of their own emotions. It
would be the former if any one else
had written the damn thing, but

“Good stuff, Clavey. Congratulate
you. Count on me.”
And he drank a highball and wad-
dled out.
The others, expressing their con-
gratulations in various keys, soon
followed, and Clavering was left
alone with Gora. He was flushed
and restless. but be doubted if he
would fedl happier on the first
night with the entire Sophisticate
body howling for "author." He had
been more afraid of Abbott and the
two other critics than he. a hard-
ened critic himself. had dared ld-
mlt.
Gora watched him from her otto—
man, where she sat stark upright,
cl usual. and smoking calmly. But
her cold gray eyes were softer than
usual. She knew exactly how he
felt and rejoiced with him, but her
expression in the long silence grew
more and more thoughtful. Finally
she throw away her cigarette and
laid lbruptly:
“Clavey.”
“Yes. Gore.” He had been wan-
dering about the room. but be

Poincare of France, in which he ex-
