Vera Villalonga says she knows, but I don't believe it.

I don't" But here, it was evident, Peter's second appeal to his wife's discretion was felt, and it suddenly arrested her flow of eloquence. “<I don't doub' foundered Blt- nor, “that—that is—and of course Magsie is a talented creature, #0 that naturally-—naturally—some girl mak a bit year, and why f j 2 Which is right, Peter, she’ or I never know," she finished some what incoherently. “I should think any investment in Magsie should y, is backing this, Warren?” “To a certain extent—I am,” War. ren said, after an imperceptible pause, To Peter he added, in a lower voice, the voice in which men dis- cuss business matters: “It was a question of the whole deal falling thru—I think she'll make good—this fellow Barrett—" Rachael began to chat with Elinor, but there was bitterness in her soul, Sho had, leaped into the breach,’ she had saved the situation, at least be- fore Elinor and Peter. But it was not fair—not fair for Warren to have been deep in this affair with Magsie, with never a word to his wife! She ~—Rachael—would have been all in- terest, all sympathy. There was no reason between civilized human be. ings why this eternal question of sex should debar men and women from common afmbitions and common interests! Let Warren admire Magsic if he wanted to do so, let him buy her play, and stand between her and financial responsibility, let him ad- mire her—yes, even love her, in his generous, big brotherly way! But why shut out of this new interest the kindly co-operation of his devoted wife, who had never failed him, who had borne him sons, who had given him the whole of her passionate heart in the full glory of youth, and in health, and in sickness, when it came, had turned to him for all thé happiness of her life!
