"But what did the censors Buy?" demanded somebody. They said it was all the six deadly adjectives "obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, in- decent and disgusting--that's what the censort said!"

"Damn the censors!" exclaimed Molly.

And some of the papers led with a screaming banner: "DAMN THE CENSORS?"

"I'm awfuly sorry," she insisted. "I never meant to say anything of the sort,"

"Why don't you take the play off?" he demanded.

"Take it off!" she cried. "I guess you don't know,, Jack, how much it

costs to put u play on."

"Well, you'd be better off if you did. It's a success and a sensa tion, and all that. But a rather du-

Furiously, she slammed her little pink telephone on her little pink table. But, presently, it was ring- ing again.

"I enly wanted to be sure you knew I liked the ring." Said, Jack. "I just thought I'd thank you again for it-that's all. You were very sweet to get it for me, Molly,"

Then the receiver on his end was also up.

A little intera telegram came from Red:

"ATTA GIRL STICK BY YOUR GUNS EVEN OTTAWA HAS FALLEN FOR YOUR PICTURE IN ALL THE EVENING PAPERS GREAT STUFF CARRY ON FOR FRANKNESS AND FREEDOM." What a difference between Jack and Red Difference enough to keep Molly awake all the night. At three a.m.,wide-eyed and sleep less, she conceived an idea. She would compile an anthology "of dark and desperate love versca: Tragic, mournful things, for women in love with the wrong men. To be read on sleepless nights, after lovers' quarrels.

She would have it bound in pur ple. And she would write a preface with beautiful, and words. She would dedicate it to "Women-Wo- men Everywhere.'

"Didn't she have no mama?" she

Fired with the notion, Molly put on her bed light, and propping her- self up on her pillows, reached for the pad and pencils she kept on! her bedside table. She would be gin immediately, writing from memory all she could remember.

She scribbled as one inspired-a mournful thing of three lines: "The gift of love is this- A crown of thorns to thy head,

And vinegar to thy kiss." Then there was that wistful little verse of Jessie Rittenhouse: "You came again, but silence.. Had fallen on your heart, And in your eyes were visions That held us still apart.

"Yes, indeed," declared Molly. "But Peter bewitched her, and she forgot all about her mother."

"What's bewitched?"

Moly tried to explain. But Rita shook her curly houd.

"Wendy was a naughty dirf" she pronounced.

"Why, dear? Because she flew away from her mama?"
