His fingers were unpleasantl moist, and I thought there was a urnecessary amount of familiarity i his touch, but I reassured myself tha he was just impersonally enthusi tic over the discavery of what h continued to call "a perfect type."

That there were a great many girls who expected just that sort of attention I had no doubt. Perhaps before I had loved Curtiss, I, top, would have éonâ€" sidered the relationship his manner suggested, a harmless, flirtatious afâ€" fairâ€"a humorous little episode about which I could have laughed.

Its outcome had been a keen disappointment but I tried hard to look at it in a philâ€" osophical light. I would not even I was beginning to understand what he had meant. I saw the whole picture before me, â€" if I kept on with Mr. Simmons â€" just as plainly as if it had already taken place.

' "Yes,, I know," I murmured and there was a hint of bitterness in my voice. That was just the trouble I KNEW, In a flash of memory the scene had changed. The director‘s ofâ€" fice was a small inn in Florida and Roland Simmons was another man. That had been four years ago (how long ago it seemed) and the man who had said the same things that the motion picture director had just finâ€" ished saying . was Warren Fisher.
