not restire his love for you-indeed,
1t will not If II has died under the

that girls who descend to the teal-

value on self-respect, 30 the reward
does not appeal. You want the man
1 can sympathize with that desire,

''wolfr' once too often; and he has
lost interest in you. He might even
think that the humblest apology you
could make, the .Iost contrite
acknowledgment Of your silly and
insulting trick, was just another way
to regain his allegiance. That would
be pretty bitter experience It oc-

gave you seemed valuable to him.
Emotionally Mauled
