When the compliment became
commonplace It became u bore,' a
iiulNapoa, a pent, an outrage. An
lionizing number of atrangera wrote
her that Utelr life at or le would make
her rich and fumoua, and were fur
more dramatic than the worka of
t.irilllth, Jeanle Mcl'heraon, John
Kinnrann. Anita lAwm, Marion Kali-fux,

Katterjohn, and the other photo
playwright. ha anewerd auch letteia aa ahe
could by hand and labored to avoid
repetition of phrae. Then ahe aet
her mother to work to copying out
forma, and finally made her mother
lgn them with her bet Imitation of
Mem'a name.
"And now I'm a forger!" gaaped
,Mr. Hteddon. "What next?'?
Uy and by both of them were ao
overworked with the lncrea,ng taak
of answering letter from every kind
of pei'don, ranging from little girl of
tl to elderly Jananea genlUmen, und
offering everything from a prayer for
a photograph to an opportunity to
pay off a mortgage, that Mem begun
to hate and revile her annoyera.
Here and there wna a letter of
grnclou charm, a cry from aome
aore-beaet oul, a word of rewarding
gratitude from one who felt a. debt
to her art, a gllmpn of tome wretch
- with a cancer of ambition gnawing a
haplena aoul. Young girls, unluckily
married and dwelling on farm far
distant from Lo Angeles, described
the color of their hair and eyes, and
the compliments they had had from
their neighbor, and begged to be
brought to Loa Angeles that they
might trade their messes of pottage
for their birthrlghta of wealth and
renown. They opened their windows
to Los Angeles a to the city of de
liverance which It had been to 8, mul
titude. Sometimes the letter unconsciously
conveyed more landscape and char
ater than a laborious author could
nchleve, and carried with It an air of
helpless doom that was heartbrenk
, ing. Ther were many of the follow
ing sort:
Dear Miss Bteddon
May I lnlerduce myself to you?
Tm a little Arizona girl, an I want

rlbe could not dix-lilo what answei
to make to either letter, and so made
none at all. The writer natiirnlv
aiiplMiaed her kuIII.v of liullffeienci.
ii nd contempt fur her feeling, l,ut
her silenc waa urtunlly duo to con
tmpt for herwflf und her Inability to
oi'Viho a decent fxcuse.
Now and then h; sought escaix.
from brooding In spurts of gaycty.
Mh went about with Tom llolhy und
Ned K.ng, and Willi othei suitors
among the various, ilrasaiictH of l,"H
Angeles. Hhe danced at the Alcx
iiridrla to tha bewitching flddlery of
Max Klacher; and at the t.'ocoanut
(irov In the'AinbnMHador inailu part
of tlio muiilugliioiin eddy of Immun
ity that tried to follow Art Hickman's
uncanny music.
She missed no Wednesday night at
the Sunset Inn, anil on one ocean on
almost won a dancing prize with a
wonderful lining) lizard. Thursday
nights found licr at the Hollywood
Hotel. She wa dancing 'fleici-ly, but
never unite nVv'.-iy from her past. At
the Turkish lllajie she drank the
thick, sweet gluo called rnfl'ee anil
chatted with Uuiille. She. Irarned to
know the Mexican Kitchen. Hhe went
through the Inevitable, phase of look
ing up odii places to eat and enjoying
poor food becauMo It wu quaint.
Hhe joined the horseback rides that
act out from the Heverly Hills Hotel
and threaded the canons till they
came upon breakfast spread in a glen.
Hhe motored to Santa Karbara ami
heard the nightingale at t'A Mlrawd,
or aat on the terrace of the moonlit
Samarkand and dreamed herself in'
Persia. She motored to San Dlegai
and beyond, taatinK the rival delight
of the old Spanish Mission at (Han
Juan Caplstrano. and the gambling
across the Mexican bonjor in Tia
Juana.
She took a course of Philharmonic
concerts, heard the world famotia sing
er and instrumentalists, and regret
ted the tongueles career she had
adopted.
Hut she learned to chatter of nrt
and music In little groups of devotee,
composers, painters, scuptors, verse
makers, story writers that, make uo
the countless clubs of a city 'already
as big and aa busy as half a dozen
Athenses.
She was broadening and deepening
her mind and her heart, ami aerating,
volatilising her apirlt.
She toiled all the while at her own
technic. When ahe finished the short
comedy with Ned IJng she was drawn
back to the Hermond Studio for the
principal role in a big picture. She
waa not yet to be starred, but she
was to he "featured" with a young
man, dive Cielnnd, who was spoken
of as Tom Holhy'a successor.
Young f'lcland fell prey to her
growing fascinations, hut he wna so
much her business rival nid their
professional love scenes were auch
duejs for points, thnt she could not
think of him aa an amateur in love.
Besides, an unsuspected loyalty to
Tom llolhy was wakened In her heart
by the pretence that this raw youth
was Tom a successor.
Tom Holby was out In the Mojave
Desert on location, and his absence
pleaded for him like a still, small
voice that interfered with the mur
mur of nearer lovers.
She was full of impatiences of every
sort .
She had fallen out of love with her
self. Mannerism that directors or crit
ics Milnted out. or thnt she discovered
for herself, vexed her to distraction.
It was n strange thing to recognize
in herself a fault that she detested
in others and was yet unable to
eradicate. Striving to avoid these
recurrent trick, she grew self-con-aeioiiH,
and people said th.it she wa.
getting a swelled head when she vvns
nioHt In a panic What they tool; for
conceit waa the bluff of a labbit ati
