Ever after Westmore had seemed a pret. ty good place. When she wrote that she would give her cousin a good time, she meaht every word of it. Of course, there was much to do before Grace's arirval. Since her mothr"s death, Hester had been het father's housekeeper. She would give Grace a famous welcome. When at last the day came Hester put on her best hat and went to the station. At last Grace appeared. She carried an enormous suitcase, an umbrella and "an alligatér bag. "Its the first time I ever rode on a train where there wasn't a por ter," she panted after she had Kiss ed Hester. She looked about the station, but no cab was visible She dropped the big suitcase, and Hes ter picked it up. She carried it all the way home. . Grace talked with unconcern. Obviously, she did not care who earried her baggage, 0 long as she did not have to carry it. Hester lugged the suitcase up to the big front room, which she had prepared for the guest, and Grace followed. She looked about her coolly and sat down upon the im- maculate bed "1 wits never so tired in my life," Grace said. '"That old train stopped at every station and the book I had wasn't interesting. It was a terribly dull journey. Do you suppose you can open that suitcase, Hester, dear" 1 don't believe I ever can in this world." : Hester opened the suitcase. also helped to unpack it. Her color came back at the sight of Grace's pretty things. - She enthused over the silver toilet articles which Grace took from the alligator bag and ar- to {ranged upon the dresser.

Hester was very proud of Grace and took her jubiliantly to the party. Kate Steele was Hattered by the city girl's appear- #ince. Thewe was no jealousy or mean- ness in the Westmore girls, They ral- lied around Grace like court ladies around their queen, but they could not meke her have a good time. She yawned at everything or else laughed. To her it was incomparably dull. "1 might just as well be home sleep- ing," she whispered to Hester. "Let's "Oh, Grace!" Hester was shocked. "Mr. Dent has just come, Don't you want to. meet him? He was called out of town this aftefnoon and just got back in time to hurry over here for the last of the party. Kate's so anxious you should see him." "Oh, bother !"" Grace shrugged her shoulders. "'1 daresay he's like all the other men I've met to-night and I've had enough of them.' So Hester followed her home, to Kate's despair, without as much as a glimpse at Mr. Dent. The next day Grace lolled in the hammock with a novel: --"¥Fve yawn- ed _till it has become a habit," she laughed. "Oh, Hester, how do you ever endure it here year in and year out ?

Grace looked far in the distance and said nothing, but the following morn- ing ;she began to ask about trains and Hester caught her consulting a time table. Hester was woefully tired, for Grace was a guest who must be wait- ed on. It never occurred to her to perform any service for herself. She took everything as her rightful due. She ate Hester's chicken and cake as if they were the commonest fare. Nothing interested or surprised her. "I've done everything .I could think of," Hester \thought, '"'and she hasn't had a good : time. There's just ome thing more." She counted the econ- tents of her purse. 5 "At four o'clock we're going auto- mobiling," she announced, : "You mean motoring ¥' Grace smil- . "Oh, very well." At four o'clock Hester, in a fever of impatience, waited for the red letter- ed gray car of Westmore's limited taxi service to appear. She was flut- tating . with excitement, for she knew she 'was doing a-dating and expensive thing. The car arrived with a = faced young man at' the wheel. It waited ten minutes for Grace to don her veil. She came lgnguidly, climbed in, dusted the worn cushions with ner handkerchief and sat down.

It whirled round a corner, ale up two or threelstreets, scared a hall dozen horses, astonished a few piazza keeping ladies, and took the open country. Hester. clapped her hands.

One of the interesting facts about the company appearing in "At Bay" at the Thirty-ninth Street Theatre in New York city, is that most of the leading artists are either sons. or daughters of famous players.

Mario Majeroni is the son of a man who was famous throughout all Europe in his day. One might continue in this manner throughout practically the entire or- ganization, proving that talent for the drama is often an inherited gift. Charles.
