testa that his bank' account is

rupted by her marriage at 19 and
the birth of ty,o children. Bor-
land known -her avowed purpose,
to bolster the family income, is
just another subterfuge. Hugo
Lorentz, her teacher, always
around, irritates him. After Dor-
is gives a recital, Cecil Carver, 7.
opera singer, phones Borland.
At her hotel,Cecil says Doris
has a good voice but lacks style.
Cecil is to sing for war veterans
but hasn't the words of a certain.
song. He sings it and she says
he has a fine baritone voice. Cecil
knows of Doris through 'Lorentz,
`ways Hugo is hopelessly in •love
with Doris, and that Doris tor-
tures every man she gets in her
clutches. Leonard ought to wake
her up by giving a, recital, she
says., "Go get yourself a tri-
umph." Cecil demands •paymnent
for lessons -kisses. Ha pays but
declares he loves •his wife - Hu

making good progress. While
she is on tour sbe wires him, he
sings in upstate recitals, ,makes
a hit and she . gets • him .- an en-
gagement with an opera company.

fully Cecil, telling him she loves
him, says he oan now bring Dor-

to lois feet. He .refines a new
contract. A";movie 'audience gives"
Doris the "bird." She says she's
no good and,that she loves Leon-
• ard. Cecil says a final ,good-bye
to .Leonard, warning •him Doris
isn't "licked,'.' then meets him un-
expectedly owith Doris at Gwen-
ny Bla'ir's. cocktail party. .
About a. minute after_ that "Doris
saw.. Lorentz, sitting there in a cor-
ner with his arm around .Cecil, both
of them being gay for a' Iittle knot
that was gathered around them. I
talked along about what a terrible
mob Gwenny always had at her Par-
ties, but she didn't seem to hear
me.,- ,She . kept. watching.. thein.
She must have crossed• "eyes with
Loientz, because he bounced up and
crossed to us. "Doris! • Hello, Mr
Borland. Come on over, you two. We
want Doris to: settle an argument.
Which is worse, a German• tenor sing-
ing 'Trovatore' or an Italian• tenor
singing `Lohengrin'?"-
"i would, have thought you would
have come over."' •
"Why, Doris! I have!.''
"A IittLe' belatedly, I would say."
tliere. With that singing going , on
there was as much chance of that as
there would be of getting a mouse
away from a piece of cheese.
After the "Mignon," Cecil sang a
little cradle song that's been written
05 IKreis1er's. "Caprice- Vienuois," and
then she came ober to Doris. "How
was I?" -,
"Mari+ellous. I never heard! you
better:"' •
I thought I was a little off, my-
self, but they seem tg I ike it, so it's
all right. Do a duetW th. me, Mrs.
Borland?"
Doris didn't have to ''•be told how
decent that was. It was letting her
right into the big league park. It
was treating her as an equal, and she
took Cecil's hand and gave it a little
shake.
"How abotit 'La Dove Prende'?"
Cecil asked.
"Oh, not that! I only now the
first part, ' aiid-"
"Then I'll sing the „second. Come
on."
' Wilkins took the piano, and they
started. 'It was pretty terrible, Mo-
zart has to he sung to•the 'beat, and
I think I told you about Doris' idea
on" nhythm. I. saw Wilkins look up,
but. Cecil dead -panned, and they went
on.. Doris could have sung it back-
ward..and 'that pair would have car-
ried ler through.. It got a hand, and
they. had 'a whisper, and did• the ."Bar -
candle," from the "Tales of Hoffman."
That was a little more Doris' speed,
and' a little more that mob's speed,`
too, •so i't went over big and they came
over to me. Doris' face was all a-
glow. • '
Cecil laughed, and., turned to her.
"Weld, how was the support?"
"I never knew there could be such
support." •
_. "We showed. 'em."
"Even if you do try to steal my
men."
It wasn't supposed to be a dirty
crack. I•t was just meant for a
little gag, something that Doris had
to get out of her system; 'then •she
could forget about Hugo and really be
friendly. '
Cecil wineed as if she had been hit
with a whip.' Then she looked me
straight in .the • eye, the first time she
had all day. "Leonard, why did you
lie to me?" •
"I didn't:"
tl"you did. : You let me go to her,
you swore you hadn't said a word,
you-" She tried to - bite it back.
It wasn't what I said, it was the
look on Doris' face that stopped her.
She • knew, then, what Doris • had
really meant, but it was too late.
Doris looked, first at Cecil, then at
me.. ?lien slyer gave 'a little,"rasping
laugh. "Oh -so that was what you

"You disappeared! I've been
watching my chance!"
"Or for somebody, perhaps, who
would' be more of a credit to you?"
"Stop it, Doris. She's an old friend.
Now come onover and settle the ar-
gument. It's deep and we want a
real opinion."
He 'went back. I felt myself get-
ting thick in the collar. "I thought
you were through with Hugo."
"I am but this is aa matter of man-
ners."
"How about me
"You?"
"You?"
"Yes, me. A huen:lid does look
pretty 'silly when his wife 'picks a
jealous row with another man right
infront of him."
"Jealous? - I jealous of Hugo?"
"You sounded like it."
They came over, then. Doris intro -

"Don't give me that foolish story
again, about looking things over. 'I've
followed her! I,ye followed her in
the newspapers, -'I know every place
that she's sung, since -she was in all
those places!"
Cecil kept cutting in, trying to
smooth things over: "Mrs Borland,
will you believe me when I 'say I've
never meant a - tiring to' your hus-
band?"
People were looking now, and try-
ing not to look. Doris levelled it
right at Cecil: "Miss Carver, I' -don't
believe yen_."

I could have stood it •But fiha,t

stuff I. 11ad' taken from.'Ewenny and
her kind,; came swelling up in my
throat. I turned to Ewenny: "Since
you ask me, •I think I will."
I went into the," dining -room and
found Wilkins. He hadn't heard any
of it, "Feel like playing for me?"
"Sure. What'll it be?"
"How about the `Prologue' and
'Pagliacci'?" '
"The 'Prologue' it is."
We went in and there was a laugh
and they all started to whisper. He
started• the introduction, and they
looked at me, and looked at Doris.
They were her friends', remember, not
mine. 1
Cecil came over: "I wouldn't,
baby. It was awful,•,but-x wouldn't.
You'll regret it."
"Maybe." •
She went away, and 2I started to
sing. At the first "Si puo," Doris
sank into a chair. ,She didn't turn
white; she turned gray.. I went on.
Maybe some of the big shots in opera
can do it better than );,.did it that
day,, but I doubt it. They couldn't
take the interest in it, you might say,
that I took. I rolled it out, and my
head felt light 'anddizzy, because I
could see every note of ,it going like
a knife into her heart:, 'When I -got
to• the andante I gave it the gun; and
when I reached the high .Fi hat. I step-
ped into it with a smile on my face,
and held it, and swelled it,,,.un.til the
robin began to shake; then I pulled
it 'in, and cut. I closed it out solemn
as I knew.
Wilkins played the finish and wait-
ed. Nothing happenedA, They sat
there as if. they were. frozen, and
then they began to talk, as if I wasn't
there. He looked up at'me, as if he
was in a madhouse or, something. . I
'smiled at , him, and bowed tthree ,times
the Tway I was taught, center, left
and' right. ,Then I went over and
poured myself a drink. When T,turn-
ed around, Doris was _leav-ing the
room. She walked as if she had just
gone blind.
I don't know how I got- out of there.
Birt . pretty soon. I wan' lldiwn on .the
twelfth floor, where you change from
the private_ elevator, which runs up
tq the penthouse, to the main cars.
Cecil was there,. _with Wilkins. When
they saw me they stopped talking..
We went down,, and on,the street a
ca -b came up. Wilkins offered us'- a
lift; but he had a dinner date up-
town instead of down, so I told him
to take the cab, and I sent the door-
man after another one. He went off,
and I stood there looking Cecil up
and down, and decided sthe was what
I wanted in the way of a woman and'
that I was going to hook up with her
"ter the rest of my life. .Maybe the
love part wouldn't be so hot, anyway
on my part, but I had had girl want-
ed of that. She was'. decent, and you
could stick to her and, not feel you

you put your arms around her. I
Cecil closed her eyes, opened them
again, grabbed for the one last thing
she could say: "We saw quite a lot
of each other, that's' true. We could
hardly help that. We were singing
together. We were singing in the
same opera company, and-"
•• Doris gave a shrieking laugh, •and
half the room stopped talking and
turned around. Gwenny came up.
Doris r'put her,, head an her shoulder
and kept on with that laugh. Then
she turned' to them all. -"Oh, my -
