means to the girl to abandon forever the glare and glitter of ot the night clubs When all al is said and done these wretched places place have hae a fascination for some natures I do not wonder that what they term ter the zip and of the life should attract showy show young women like Blanche The marvel marel to me Is that she can endure a humdrum existence In the settlement after the glitter and excitement of the cabaret Of course coure we know that this moth like moth is really rely very ery stupId stupid stu stu- pid and ard based on the utterly false as assumption assumption as- as as- as that the main end of existence existence existence exist exist- ence is amusement But But in reality ralty poor Blanche differs very little from some of her highly placed sisters In Inso so society To me the social round in New York Is Just as foolish a thing as the tawdry dissipations of ot Broadway John was wa tempted to smile smie again agIn but resisted the the the impulse Still being a very
