But she guick how v came to him and hid her head his shoulder. At the touch, his arms closed tightly about her. For a time neither spoke. Each had written all there was to say, and more free- 1y than they could have spoken in each other’'s presence, during their quarrel. Cora was the first to break the silence. “Davey, I want to meet Wanda!"” David’s face lit up with gladnes: “We shall go tomorrow night. ater.” He kissed her in heartfelt pride and appreciation of the effori it cost her to take this voluntary step toward the test her heart feared—bringing Wanda and David together again. But it was a nervous couple that stood Wanda’s dressing room. They had just role of a woman who entices a man away from his wife in a problem pla which taught that living love has stronger claims than dead marriage vows. David inwardly cursed the unfortunate combination of play and player and their effect on his wife. Cora, too, felt oppressed with ihe sug- gestion that the Wanda and the drama she had just played on the stage would re-enact themselves in her, Cora's life. Wanda opened the door herself and dragged Cora into the room with gay camaraderie. There Was no resisting her contagious, her sincere good fellowship, her abounding, wholesome vitality. Cora, too, genuine as she was, proved herself equal to the call on her for a generous give-and-take of friendliness. “I think your just the woman David and sincerely. “That remains to be seen,” Cora laughed a little nervously. She is playing at the Halcyon The- the following evening hefore seen her play to perfection the dressing needed!” Wanda said abraptly “But he told me about you, and now that I have met you I wonder how he ever could get over losing vou.” Wanda turned serious. “I would have made the worst wife in the world,” she said. “Here, David, this i3 no place for laughingly bundling him out of the room. while I change.” Perhaps, no two women ever talked to each other more genuinely and trisd to be open with each other as Wanda and Cora tried. Yet each felt a vague difficulty in the meeting. Wanda's was the easier role. She had nothing, not even uneasiness to conceal. She realy felt she wanted Cora for her friend. Yet somethirig kept reminding her that Cora had mar- ried the man she might have had herself: that he had become, through Cora, out of reach of herself. It had cost Wanda something to give David up four vears ago. Was it a fleeting touch of the old feeling—or a re- awakening ? Cora, on her part, dismissed all suspicion of Wanda's sincerity »r hou- esty at once. But sensed something of the question that flitted through Wanda’s mind. Sensed it somehow, and her own uneasy heart more fhan echoed the question; did Wanda feel only the wrath of her old feeling for David—or was it the reawakening? But of these whisperings not a syllable escaped into the talk of women. “David, I think we—or, rather, I—have entered on vo she “We want to talk about cried, you the a new phase a more sober phase of our marriage,” Cora said later when Wanda had brought them home in her car. “What do you mean, dear?” he asked. “Well, David, Wanda is a lovely, charming, genuine woman. We three are going to see a good deal of each other. And I would not have it otherwise if T could. But—it won’t be easy—for any of us—and vet there is no other way for us to do than to face the future squarely and take what it brings!” : (Copyrighr, 1916 S. S, McClure.)
