At a first night performance in New York, a beautiful young woman attracts attention by rising and leisurely surveying the audi ence through her glasses. Claver ing, a newspaper columnist, and his cousin, Dinwiddie, arc particu larly interested, Dinwiddie declar ing that she is the image of Mary Ogden, a belle of thirty years ago, who had married a Count Zattiany and-lived abroad. He is con. need that this w ,1/ary’s daughter; but all efforts to establish her identity prove futile. Clawing, determined to find out who </«' is, follows her home from the theatre one night. Luck is with him, for she has forgotten her keys and he helps her get into the house. She asks him in and finally tells him she is the Countess Josef Zattiany, a cousin of Mary Og den's; that she had married a rela tive of Mary’s husband; and that Mary is ill in a sanitarium in Vi enna. He meets her at the theatre a few nights later, goes home with her afterward and tells her frank ly he does not believe her story. He is keenly aware of her fascina tion for him, and Madame Zat tiany, .on her part, though long since free of illusions in regard to men, admits to herself that this particular young man has aroused her interest. Clavering becomes distraught over the whole affair. XIII (Continued) For the moment he hated all women and felt not only a coward ly but a decidedly boyish impulse to run away. He’d like to wander . . . wander ... lie out in the woods and dream as he had done in his boyhood . . . before he knew too much of lite . . . reading Shelley and muehing chestnuts. . . . Then he re membered that woods were full of snow in winter, and laughed. Well, he’d go and see Gora Dwight. She was in Washington at the moment, but would be home on Friday. She was a tonie. Strong if you like, but making no bones about it. No soft feminine seductions there. She, too, had fought life and con quered, in away, but she showed the scars. Must have had the devil of a time. At all events a man could spend hours in her stimulat ing company and know exactly where he stood. No damned sex nonsense about her at all. He knew barely another woman who didn’t trail round to sex sooner or later. Psychoanalysis had relieved them of whatever decent inhibi tions they might have had in the past. He bated the subject. Some day he'd let go in his column and tell women in general what he thought of them. Remind them that men were their superiors in this fit least: they kept sex in its proper place and were capable al ways of more than one idea at a time. So was Gora Dwight. He believed he'd make a confidante of her—to a certain extent. At all events he’d refresh his soul at that tranquil font. XIV Gora Dwight, after the fashion of other successful authors, had recently bought a house. It was in East Thirty-fifth street, not far trom the one at present occupied by Madame Zattiany, but nearer Lexington avenue. It was one of the old monotonous brownstone houses, but with a ‘‘southern ex posure," and the former owner had removed the front steps and re modeled the lower floor. The dining room, on the left of the entrance, was a long admira bly proportioned room, and the large room above, which embraced the entire floor, Miss Dwight had converted into a library both sump tuous and stately. She had bought her furniture at auction that it might not look too new, and on the longer walls were bookcases seven feet high. She had collected a small library before the war; and for the many other books, some of them rare and all highly val ued by their present possessor, she had taunted secondhand book shops. The prevailing tone of the room was brown and gold, enlivened dis creetly with red, and the chairs and lounges .were deep and com fortable. A large davenport stood before the fireplace, which had been rebuilt for logs. There was a victrola In one corner, for Miss Dwight was amenable if her guests were seized with the desire to jazz, and a grand piano stood near the lower windows. The only evi dence of sheer femininity was a tea table furnished with old pjeces of silver she had picked up in France. The dining room below was a trifle gayer in effect; the walls and curtains were a <’ •> yellow and there were always flow ers on the table. New York knew so much about this new literary planet that it took for granted there was nothing further to be discovered. There are always San Franciscans in th* i f H.‘ • ‘ great city, and when she became famous they were obliging with their biographical data. Life had been hard on bar at first, for al though she came of old Revolu tionary stock she grew up in pov erty and obscurity. Her father had been a failure, and after the death of her parents she had kept a lodging house for business wom en, taking courses at the Universi ty of California meanwhile; later she had studied nursing and ftiafle her mark with physicians and-sur geons. Her brother, a good-ldok ing chap with fine manners, but a sort of super-moron, had unexpect edly married into the old aristocra cy of San Francisco, and Gora, through her sister-in-law, the lovely Aiexina Groome, had seen some thing of the lighter side of life. During this period she had written a number of short stories that had been published in the best maga zines, and one novel of distinctly that had made a “howling snccfesS” Jn San Francisco, owing to the un precedented efforts of the fashion able people led by young Mrs. Mor timer Dwight, but had fallen flat in the East In spite-bf the reviews. Then had come a long intermission when flctionlsts were of small ac count in a world of awfnl Tacts. She was quits forgotten, for she made not even a casual contribu tion to the magazines; shortly after the war broke out she offered her services to England and for long and weary years was one of the most valued nurses in the Brit ish armies. At the close of ths> war she had returned to California, intending to write her new novel at Lake Tahoe, but finding the sea son in full swing she had gone to some small interior town and writ ten it there. When it was finished she harl brought it on to New York and had remained here ever since. /gl 7 I “Gora Dwight . . had writ- ten a number of short stories." So ended the brief h!u,.,i iphy, which was elaborated in many arti cles and interviews. Aslfor the novel, it won her in stant fame and a small fortune. It was gloomy, pessimistic, excoriai ing, merciless, drab. Sordid and hideously « realistic. Its peopb hailed from that plebeian end of the vegetable garden devoted to turnips and cabbages. They pos sessed all the mean vices and weaknesses that detestable human ity has so far begotten. They wera all failures and their pitiful aspira tions were treated with biting irony. Futile, futile world! The scene was laid in a small town in California, a microcosm of the stupidities of civilization and of the United States of America in particular. The celebrated "at mosphere” of the state was ignor ed. The town and the types were “American;" it would seem that mejply some unadmitted tenuous sentiment had set the scene in the state of the author’s birth, but there the concession ended. Even the climate was treated with the scorn that all old cliches deserved. (Her biographers might have con tributed the information that’the climate of a California interior town in summer is simply infer nal.) » Naturally, the book created a furore. A few years before it would have expired at birth, even had a publisher been mad enough to offer it to a smug contented world. But the dally catalogue of the horrors and the obscenities of war, the violent dislocations that followed with their menaces of panic and revolution that affected the nerves and the pockets of Che entire commonwealth, the irritable reaction against the war itself, knocked romance, optimism, aspi ration, idealism, the sane and bal anced judgment of life, to smith ereens. More cliches. The world ■w"" rotten to the core and the hu man race so filthy the wonder was that any writer would handle it with tongs. But they plunged to their necks. The public, whose urges, inhibitions, complexes, were jn a state of ferment, but inarticu late, found their release in these novels and stories and wallowed In them. The more insulting, the more ruthless, the more one-sided the disclosure of their irremedia ble faults and meannesses, the more voluptuous the pleasure. There had been reactions after the Civil War, but on a higher plane. The population had not been mao ulated by interior races.
