One was the writer, ed from tt Derculosis by his desperate wite; the other the publishes who had provided | the money for a change of climate though not unseifishiy. Without sel/- ishness where sex is concerned there weldom is drama, At any rate, it doesn’t pay as a rule to break this law of the theatre.
