What Grace Draper's Surprise Confirmed to Madge. Grace Draper crossed the room with the swift, lithe step 8o Thatefully familiar to me, and stood over me with eyes gleaming venomously above her yashmak veil, 1 dropped my own from her gaze, for I had no desire either to anger her or to endure her stare, and I saw her long, slender fingers twitching as might the claws of a cat watching a mousge. Involuntarily 1 shivered slightly, and my tormentor gave & satisfled little laugh. “Just wait till this time tomorrow, Sweetie,” she said maliciously, then she turned to Linda, “‘How has she been behaving?” she asked. Linda considercd gravely. “All right, 1 guess,” she said at last. “She's a little bit fresh, but 1 can manage her.” Grace Draper looked at her stead- fly, and when she spoke her veice was metallic, "“Where did you get it?" *Get what?” Linda evaded. “The hooch? Tell me this minute or you'll be sorry."” “I only had a little snifter. The chef had a bottle in the kitchen when 1 went down for her tea, and I snitched a timbleful when his back was turned.” “Yes, your breath smells like a thimbleful and you talk like one,” the A NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 1923, manded curtly, "“Who are they?" “One of 'em's & man that can hard. ly stand up he's so sick, He looks as if he'd been chewed up by a hyena.'" “Manhandled, probably,” Grace Draper commented, “when he put up a scrap. Who's the other one?" “A trained nurse,' “What? Quit your kidding, Linda! You've been seeing things again, Bringing a nurse along for a man they've brought in here?” “L tell you she's a nurse,” Linda said sullenly. And I could have borne witness to the truth of her assertion. “or my heart was beating wildly at this confirmation of what I had seen in the bathroom mirror.

Whatever threat Grace Draper's words held, Linda understood it per- fectly. Her quailing look, her hurried, frightened asseveration that she would not offend again told me. That it satisfied Grace also I knew, when, after a long, steady stare, she re- leased Linda's eyes and spoke more casually. *What's new since I've been gone, Anything?"” | “They've brought in some new| ones,” Linda answered in a subdued | tone. | Grace Draper whirled on her.

I guessed also that the astute head of this evil ‘organization pitted < | his subordinates one against the other | in their tasks, and that he followed the scriptural injunction concerning a common stock of information in the possession of his right and left hands, ““You've Been Seeing Things.” With her eyes fixed on the floor and ofie. foot tapping in anger, she stood| silent for a long minute.

Hollywood, April 3.—No new girl cracking her shell in the movies goes unwarned down the side strects of film-land, who meets “Irish Mary,"” veteran extra, once cast for good parts but now back where 1 was be- ginning. She sat beside me in the truck that carried the “atmosphere” to the Lasky ranch for the second day's work on “Mr. Billings Spends His Dime.” Her hair was dyed red. Make-| up covered wrinkles but didn't hide her beaming good nature. A woman of uncertain years, with a voice like a prima donna and a motherly con- cern for the film chicks she tries to take under her wing. “You've not been in long, have you, darling?"” she crooned. FEveryone is “darling” to Irish Mary. Then drove straight to the point of solicitude. “Always be a good, sweet girl, and you'll succeed. They used to look for vice—some of 'em-—but not so now. “There's lots of things you'll have _+to overlook, but don’t be offended. Most of 'em mean right. And you must always do what's right.” Without any embarrassment for old-fashioned advice in the midst of giggling extras, she handed me a ver Maflet, ending all her exhorta- ‘Hons with a hearty, “And the Lord'll ‘bless you for that!” On the set she constituted hersell my guardian.
