her that Chichester's affair "would be

"Mii7..y! Hush! Step! De you
hear?"
Alicia stared nt her for a moment
nnd then bent her head.
The instincts of geed breeding came
te each of them at the same moment,
warned them of the brutality of their
mennings. Neither spoke for n moment.
Alicia hid her tare in her handkerchief,
sobbing again. Cherry h tared et her,
dry-eyed, breathing hard, hut dcathlv
quiet.
"Who told you this?" Cherrv asked
at lest.
There was no reply nnd she repeated
ine question. .
imie told ou tins? .Mr. Chiches
ter?" "Ne ve."
"When?"
'"''.night. I didn't believe it. I de
fended you. Hut jeu were seen bv
friends of his."
"It's quite true. T did visit David
Sangree s room at night."
"Oh!"
"Y,"i" Vi"1 ilnl'ite a rotten motive if
you like. Chirr said, and smiled as
the thought of David enme te her.
"Only jeu don't knew David Sangree."
Alicia .stinlghtencd. still dabbing nt
her eyes. She looked her nge new, for
the most of her youth was en her hand
kerchief. Her fa.e was haggard and
mottled with tears.
"I only knew that people nre talk
ing. ' she said. Her tones wen. still
cold resentful. "It was a terrible
thing for a decent girl te de whatever
your motive!"
Cherry's reply was obvious, but she
made none. She mh tinn..,i ..,,. c...,.,' I
her mother am! leaned with her elbows
upon the mantel, her lips compressed.
Ihe conversation had pnsse.j the bounds
of understanding of ih-'encv. She
heard the rustle of Alicia's silk' under

Here is a geed Idea of the way they make n speech for n motion picture. The photograph shows them taklnc
"close-ups" of Antonie Morene In one of the seenes of "My American Wife." At another time the action nill
be gene through with ngnln with n motion-picture camera placed further heck se ns te take in the whole seen
and the full length of Morene. Then the director will cut these two shots and intersperse the "close-ups"
among the "long shots"
