She leashed the deg te the dresser, gave her hair u pat, mid went forth te drudgery. The moment she was cm the stage, it seemed te her that her soul returned te the diessing-rnem and left n rollicking nutoumten down center. Perhaps this verv luck of pelf-eou-scleusness made her the success she was. Ne doubt It may appear Incredible that n jeung wemun who hud lifted a mediocre part Inte n New Yerk triumph should net be nwnre of her huccchs, but nevertheless Nancy wns net aware of it in the sense she should have been. The moment she appeared there was but eni notion in her head te de the work she was paid te de, ns swiftly and correctly ns possible, nnd hurry home.
