HAS BEEN PLAYIN You FROM YE SCHOOLY, THERE /I H SYNOPSIS: Aileen Gray is irdircotly the vietim of the jealousy of her younger sister, Vivicnne, an artist’s medel. Ai- | Icen wen a star part in the new Bicadway musical show, with the help of Jimmy Crane, a pres agent, who loves her. Dwight Channing, the artist whe cmpleys Vivienne, gives a | party in Aileen’s honor in his } studio. Vivienne, chafing under the nece of playing second | fiddle, recklessly takes a dare {< bathe in the fountain. Aileen, | trying to cfop her, crashes thrcugh a glass deor and her face is permanently disfigured. She hae to retire from the stage and wear a silk mask to con- her ccars. Vivienne must choulder the burden of Aileen as well as ceal new sapporting herself. Chapter 14 TEMPTATION Viviecnne sat on the model's Gais in Channing’s studio, watching him work on the painting that soon were to decorate Arnold Kron- berg's new movie theatre. They, were almost finished. What would | she do when Channing no longer needed her services? | The house-phone rang. Channing! went to answer it. “All right!” he| snapped. Then he turned to Viv cnne. “You'd better slip on some-| thing. Arnold Kronberg is down- stairs—and he's coming up.” | Channing presented his caller 4Am I right in assuming that you are Mr. Channing's model?”| He smiled. Vivienne nodded. “I've just thought of a rather| She hurled the porc goed idea.” He turned to Chan- ning. “For the night when my theatre opens we might arrange— a personal appearance. Both of you on the stage—just as you are at this moment.” “Sorry!” Channing shook his head. “But I'm not a performing dog.” “Oh, really, you mustn't!” Kron- berg arose. Vivienne caught an angry glint in his keen gray eyes. “Mademoiselle, I kiss your hand!" He did, with a courtly gesture. “Tf Mademoiselle should like my idea —I hope she will call me up. I suppose Mr. Channing would not mind—so long as he does not ap- pear?” “Naturally not.” Vivienne was thinking hard. She had never seen Arnold Kronberg before, but she knew him by repu- tation. “Well?” said Channing when Kronberg was gone. “Well, what?” Vivienne said. “Just that.” Channing's eyes nar- rowed. “I might do worse—than take him up—" “Much worse.” Channing mused. “Granting that you're ipterested lnj:hlngs that girls can do and earn a contract of that sort.” Thére was no mistaking his meaning. It stir- red Vivienne's anger. *, : | 25 “Why would it be any different own the original—if worse comes to worst.” Channing arched his eyebrows. “You're stating an age-old theory,” he said, “but you talk like a fool kid.” “Do I?” She stepped closer. —posing in his theatre—or posing| “Dwight, suppose I admit that here for you.” (I gave the story to Tattle Tales— on, “youll start something else bc—‘ fore long." i { know, and everyone else knows—" bluntly you with the girl I'm supposed to| be—dressing after that broad hint darned story make me—?" “I'm not Arnold Kronberg.

If I didn't like you —a lot—I'd mind my own business. You'll probably tell me to anyway, but that's all right with me. Twice since you've been coming h*re—‘ you've stirred up something un- pleasant. One incident resulted— in something you can't undo.” She winced and looked away. “If you're not careful,” he went silly!” she sald. “You what?” he asked her “Bruce Burns assoclated “Knows in Tattle Tales. So does everyone who kncws us. Don't you imagine Arnold Kronberg is a reader of the dirty sheet?” “Suppose he is? Does that “No, but it makes people think you are. And if they think so long enough—you might just as well be.” She was wishing he would not cok at her the way he did. She pulled the robe about her. “Viv, you gave that story to the girl who put it in. You did it be- elain at Channing cause you wanted to be talked about. If it's any satisfaction to you |you did a gocd job.” “O-oh!" She buried her face in her hands. “What made you do it, I can't figure out. Can’t you see what you are courting by keeping on like | this?” | Dry-eyed, she looked up sudden- ly. “Suppose I do see?” she flung |at him. “What if I know what I'm doing—what if I don't care? Oh, you're right that I've made a fool of myself. You're right, I suppose, that people believe I'm what you're 50 sure I'm going to be after what T've done. Well, what else am I going to do? I've got to live—and lit2” | Channing did not answer. | “Well?” She twiched her shoul- |ders and assumed a pose. “Just what is the answer—if I have to |tell you? I don't propose to slave {my life away as a waitress or in |an office—where I'd get a stingy |salary and every man who saw me ‘would try to date me up! I guess I have some intelligence, but I | haven't any fitness for the sort of well because I wanted—it to be the truth?” “I shouldn't believe you,” he an- swered. “Don't you—care for me—a little? You said you cared—a lot.” “Not in that way.” Like some savage fury, Vivienne stood before him—far more allur- ng than anything he had ever seen. Rage was evident in every line of her trembling body. Dart- ing to the table, she caught up the | figure of herself Channing| little had given Aileen—one that for ob- vious reasons, she never wished to see again. “I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!” She hurled the porcelain at him. It struck the floor at Chan- ning's feet and crashed in a thou- sand pieces.
