Madame Zattlany explained in the simplest language she could command the meaning and the function of the dnctless glands. The more intelligent among them looked gratified, for the painless achievement of fresh knowledge is a pleasant thing. Madame Zatt- iany went on patiently: “These glands in my case hail undergone n natural process of exhaustion. In women the slower functioning iif the endocrine-s ls coincident with the cliiviatiteric. us they have been ilopenilt-nt. for stimulation up- on certain ovarian cells. The idea involved is that the stimulation of these exhausted cells would cause the. other glands to function once more at full strength and a cer- tain rejuvenation ensue as a mat- ter of course; unless. of course. they had withered beyond the po- wer of science. I was a promis- ing subject. for-examination prov- “(l lliat my organs were healthy. my nrtorics soft: and I was not yct sixty.

"But surely you must have been nervous and terrified?" All of these women had seen and suffer. ed illness. but all form time-hon- ored visitations, even if under new and technical names, and they had suffered in common with millions of others, which. if it offended their sense of exclusivencss, at least held the safeguard of norm- alcy. They felt a chill of terror. in some cases of revulsion. as Ma- dame Zattiuny went on to picture this abnormal renaissance going on in the body unseen anti unfelt; in the body of one who bad been cast in the common mold, subject to the common fate, and whom they had vlsioned — when they thought about her at all—as grow- ing old with themselves: as any natural Christian woman would. It was iint only mysterious and terrifying but subtly indecent. Mrs Vane drew back from hor eager poise. Almost it seemed to the amused Mrs. Oglethorpe that she withdrew her skirts. Drama was for the stage. or the movies: nt all events (lrama in private life.amnng the elect. was objective, external, and, however offensive. particular- ly when screamed in the divorce court, it was. at least. like the old disease, remarkably normal.

Drama of any sort in this respectable old draw- lng-rnom. which have been photo- graphed ns the sarcophagus of all the ltespectabllities, was extrem- ely offensive. And what a drama! Never bad these old walls listened to such a‘ tale. lilrs. Vane and others like her had long since nut~ grown the prudery of their ninth- ers. who hnd alluded in the most distant manner to the most decent of their internal organs, and called a leg a limb, but the commonplace was their rock, and they hnd a sense of sinking foundations.

Neverthe- less. the complete re-energizing of both was very slow, the rejuneva- ltion oi’ appearance slower still. Woriioui cells do not expiind rap- idly. Tho mental change was pro- nounced long before the physical, except that I rarely felt fatigue, although I spent may hours a day ill. the relief stations."

Sho paused and lct her cool ironic glance wander ovt-r thc in- tent faccs before her. "Not only." she went on with a slow emphasis, which made them prick up their ears, "was the renewed power man- iftml in mental activity. in concen- tration, in memory, but that dis- taste for new ideas, for reorienta- tion, had entirely disappeared. Peo- plc growing old are condemned for prejudice, smugnei-is. hostility to progress, to the purposes and cu- thuslasnis of youth; but this atti- tude ls due to aging glands alone. all things being equal.

Mrs, Vane gazed at Mary Ogden. whose Insolence she had never for- gotten, with liiilignant hostility; Mrs. Poole. who always dressed as if sho hnd a tumor. but whose rem- nant of a once lovoly complexion indicated perfect‘ health. maintain- ed her slight tolerant smile; its effect somewhat abridged by lhn fact. that tho small turban of bright blue feathers topping ber large face had slipped to one aide.

“Do stop babbling. Lily Tracy!" exclaimed Mrs. Vane. who, bow- P-"er disgusted. was quite curious is the others to hear the rest of thc tale. And Mrs. Goodrich said softly: - _,~

“Yes. go on, Mnry, darllhg. I am sure the most thrilling part is yet ‘o come. You see how interested your old friends all are."

Madame Zaitlany moved her cool lnsolent eyes to Mrs. Vane/s set visage. "The time cams when I knew that youth was returning to my face as well us to the hidden processes of my body; and I can assure you that it excited me far more than the renewed functioning of my brain. The treatment induces flesh, and as I had been excessive- ly thin. my skin, as flesh accumu- luted, grew taut and lines disap- peared. My eyes, which had long been dull. had regained something of their old brllliancy under the renaissance of brain and blood, and that was accentuated. My halr—" ‘ “Do you mean to say that it ro- stores hair to its nature color?" demanded lilrs. Tracy. who had been plucking out bleached hairs for the past year. “That w0uld"-- “it does not. But my hair is the shade that never turns gray: and of course my teeth had always been kept in perfect order. I should uever in any circumstances be a frit woman, but the active functioning of the glands gave me just enough flesh to complete the outer renovation. lily complexion. after so many years of neglect. naturally needed scientific treat- ment of another sort. but that was still to be had in Vienna.”

“Ali!" The exclamation was sharp. Here, at least. was some- thing ihty knew all about and sys- tematically dlscountenanced. “Do you mean that you had your skin ripped riff?" asked Mrs. Ruylct‘.

"Certainly not. The skin was simply softened and reinvigorated by massage and the proper applica- tions."

They ilrere too proud to ask for details, and Mrs. dc Lacey, who was stout. glanced triumphantly n: Mrs. Ruyler, who ivns similar. "You lllltllifi, Mary. that ont- has to be thin for this treatment to be a success?"

"That I cannot say. I really do not know what the treatment would do to a stout woman of mid tllc or cltl ugc.

Not even Amy realized what good luck hail come to her when. after only six months of really good training she bad obtained a position that students had tried years to get. Jim Clarkelwas a man nf both wealth and influence. His father had been ii powerful politician, and bud left him, when he died, with it fair sized income. and a long llst of friends both in and out of politics.

Clarke had some theatrical tal- ent. That, combined with his money and his influence. got him into the theater, where he amused himself by playing small DflTl-li- His name and influence gained favorable publicity for him. and as publicity is the breath of life to anyone on the stage, (‘lnrke pro- gressed to rather better parts. He became a "feature" in big revues. wherc he did not have to work hard and where his small talents could be utilized to the best ex- tent. (Zlnire hnd met him when she was taking a small part in a revuo ivliere be was playing hero. And Jim hnd developed a really great affection for this girl. He saw straight through her little pretence-s and her weaknesses, this amused him. it made him feel hinisi-lf a great reader of charact- er. At the same time, her pretti- ness pleased hlin.

Clarke went on to something better than revue work. lie play- ed tlic piano extraordinarily well, for an amateur. He. began gl vlng

“recitals.” Because of -his inflnim- cc. he drew very smart audiences. The big actors

and actresses came because Clarke was of their profession and hnd 2i socinl reputation also. The big musicians came, anti smiled patron- lzingly flfdlllS playing, said polite things. and chatted with the stars in the then-fer world. Society came.

And Amy's prsttlness, her fiiink brown eyes with their long, shiny- Iashes, her glorious colored hair. her graceful movements. did the, rest. ‘ '

"You've a sweet voice. nothing great." tho chorus director said. “You'll do in a crowd, You'll nor-vi" » have a career, if thafs whui. you want."

Amy was not discouraged by this. She was still sure she \VUlll\l have u great career.

"You speak French and Italian" ‘ the director asked.

She nobbeil, in terror that be might test her knowledge. Slic haul some French at school nnd Clair-c bud been coaching her. Slli‘ was sure enough of that to he able lo sing the choruses of the Fri-null operas. She knew not a word oi Italian.

But on her way home from thnt momentuous interview, she stopp- ed at a school of languages and rc- gistered for a lesson a tlziy—-—sl~v would he earning a sulnry now. and could afford it. Amy. like her sister anti her brother. was at heart an earnest student.

Being a member of the chorus gave her certain privileges. She was enormously eager about the new work, and cliattereil about the great singers she could now see, and the wny they looked iii their street clothes and tho sort of cars they rode nrountl in.
