aplte of that pretty promise of love
upon which tha last curtain descended.
"Zlra" Is the atory of a woman with
a past who thlnka aha can Conceal that
past by taking the. name
posedly dead woman and - filling her
place in polite society... Th scheme
works beautifully until ths dead one
comes back to Ufa and then Mtsa Rob
erta, as I have said, begs. It Is no
half-hearted spiritless plea for mercy,
either. She gets down on the floor and
humbles herself; she prostrates herself
before her nemesis, this .woman whoae
name she has taken.
Now, that len t a pretty sight Per
haps one's Ideal woman doesn t hu
miliate herself' before another of her
aex even to aava her good name. What
ever mar be tha reason, tha effect of
this bearing Is harrowing.- Zlra Has
ghown herself- to be. In many respects,

this prlda aa abjectly to beg for mercy
from her deadly enemy.
It la a rather unpleasant note of cow
ardice which runs through Zlra'a whole
history. At no tlma baa aha the courage

from tha hargea made against her un
