But her heart is with Nicholas Boyd. the film star whose eareer has been Dblighted by a heroio rescue which left him with . scarred face. Boyd 18 in Ger- many for an operation that may do away with the scar, Aud lis wife, Bernie Boyd, hasdoma from America on the same hoat with Georgic’s mother, perhaps because she has heard that Nicholas has inherited a large swm of money recently. & & L F Chapter 29 K § THE MEETING ONE night when they were dining in the hotel restaurant instead of golng out as they usually did, Bernfe Boyd walked i~ "Georgie saw her first, broke off in something she was saying, ‘and rev—rs g - white that was slowly advanecing dfown the room, happily conscious that she was the center of alleyes. There were two men with her, and that perhaps one of them might be Nicholas, but of course it was not, and she caught her breath with a guick sigh of disappointment. Bernie was dressed irt white chif- fon with a fleecy wrap of some ex- 1» pensive-looking fur, and one of the men with her was carrying a bou- guet of crimson roses which he € [mid beside her plate when they sat down at their table. "" “Georgie—what are you staring ~ at?” Evelyn asked, but almost at bnce she saw for herself. “Bernie Boyd! Well, seel” “See what?” Georgle asked. “The attention she géts,” Evelyn said rather tartly. “That tall man with her is Lord Silbury. The other 1 suppose is her husband. Why men #Wilt" run’ ‘after ¢émmon” Women is more than I can understand. Wom en never run after common men They are far too sensitive.” now you “I wish she'd come and speak to| us,” Georgie eaid. There was a flush of excitement In her cheeks, and her eyes looked darker than usual. “1 suppose she thinks that it is my place to go and speak to her,” Evelyn said. “Everything is upside down nowadays. But'very probably 1 shall go and speak to her. Ishould like to meet Lord Silbury. You're not eating anything, Georgie.” “I'm not hungry,” Georgie said. Georgie looked at the two men who were with Bernie Lord Sil- bury was tall, and thin; “Hungry looking,” Georgie thought; he re- niinded her of one of the Peers in “folanthe,” of which she had seen an amateur performance. Mrs. Spears had been in the chorus, and she had given Georgle a ticket on the second and most unsuccessful Bight. The other man who Evelyn had vaguely supposed to be Nicholas Was young and fair, and effeminate, with a waist to his coat and hair too tarefully marcelled. “If you've finished, Bishop, we may as well go to the lounge,” Eve- ‘iyn said. “ And it was in the lounge, over goffee and liqueurs that Georgic was introduced to Bernie. “My daughter Georgie, she's a film fan, Miss Boyd. She knew all #bout you directly I mentioned your hame.” _ " Bernie turned starry, black-lashed syes on Georgie. “ “How sweet,” she said; she smiled at the girl and sat down be- ‘#ide her, but ehe still talked to the fmen, seeming to ingle Bishop out for special attention. EORGIE watched her with a feeling of unreality. " She was so fair and small, like & doll Of course Nicholas must love her. Men always Ilfked that type of girl fuch better than anyone dark and Brown-skinned like herself. . A long mirror on the wall oppo- site reflegted the little group they made, and George studied it with Sombre eyes. She was wearing a brown frock tonight which made her look even @arker and more elfin-like; ' Evelyn had said it was a clever touch when the dressmaker (who ‘@alled herself Iréne, wit' an accent ¥n the second syllable), had sug- gested brown, © “It you are sunburat, you might s well make use of it instead of trying fo hide it,” she told Georgie. You're a brunette and can never be anything else, so we must make _the most of it.” But tonight Georgie hated her- self; hated her dark eyes, and her thick wavy hair, and longed to be fair, and all pink and white like the 1 bfldn her. m 4 » stared and starec at the vision in|: tor one wild moment George thought{® | one kmew.

No, I didn't mean to do any work over here, but they made me such an attrac- tive offer I simply couldn't refuse.” “I shonld love to come,” Georgie said. She knew that she was trying hard to hate this girl who was Nich- olas Boyd's wife,’but somehow she could not. There was something so friendly in the blue eyes and smil ing lips, something in her voice that ‘made ‘one feel as'if she was really pleased ‘to meet one. “And your husband?” Evelyn asked' graciously. “Is he to make any pictures in England?” ' Bernle half shrugged her white shoulders. “My husband is in Germany,” she said without much interest. “I real- ly don't know what his plans are, but I think it is very unlikely that he will make any more pictures, not for a long time at least.” Lord Silbary spoke in a bored voice. yd's been devil.” “Unlucky ?” Evelyn echoed; she looked up into Silbury’s face with her most engaging smile. “That’s very sad. Nothing serious [ hope.” There was a little silence, then Bernie answered, “He had an unfortunate accident some months ago. | thought every He very stupidly stop ped a runaway horse, and injured his face.” There was an damned unlucky acute silence. Geor- gie was staring down at her folded hands. “How very, very sad,” Evelyn said. *And is there no . .. I mean will he never recover?” Bernie made a little grimace. “I really know so little about him,” she sald in a voice that seemed to express sorrow and de mand sympathy. “You see, we're not such good friends as we used to be.” She sighed. “Marriage i 50 difficult, I think."” HE silence fell again, and Geor gie found herself wondering in bewilderment why it was that che could more easily feel jealousy now she was sure that Bernie did not love Nicholas, than when she had been afraid that she did love him. “Marriage is all wrong,” Silbury eaid in his tired way. “The trouble is that none of us find it out til it’s too late.” Georgie spoke quickly. “It isa’t always like that.” She Tfelt that everyone ‘was look ing at her. “Darling,” Evelyn said in hel most maternal ‘oice. “You are sc young and untried! It's beautiful isn’t it?” she addressed the others “To find anyone still with ideals?’ The effeminate youth spoke fo | the first time, “She’ll soon lose 'em,” he said. Bishop changed the conversation “And ‘the vpicture you are tc make, Miss Boyd? May we know what it is, or is it to be a secret? Bertie smiled. “Can anything be kept a secret nowadays?” she asked. “No, there isu’t any secret about it at all. It’ a picture (o be called “By the' World Forgot’, about a famous actor who lost his popularity and the girl who 'stood by him. It's good ‘sob® stufr, I'm-told.” There was a little rustle of skirte beside her, and Georgie bhad gone, heedless of her mother’s cry, “Georgie, where are you going, Georgie?” She went up the wide staircase like a whirlwind and into her room, shutting and locking the door be hind hew Then she stood-in the darkness sobbing. Hadn’t any of them got a 'heart? Wasn't there one spark of pity in Bernie for the man whom she must surely once have loved? *By the World Forgot.” How could she bear to act in such a story kunowing that somewhere, miles away, Nicholas was fighting against the tragedy that had ruined his life? ‘“By the World Forgot” Well, the world might forget. Who ear 4 dbout the world? Georgie folded her arms over her breast as if to still the pain that was there. YA “I'll never forget my preei never,” she sobbel aloud, tg an Who Was not there to heat.
