Haywood Glover sat fnusing for .
few moments before replying 10 his
prospective mother -in-law's question.
II am not sure Estelle and ! will be
happy together. She has a passion for
attention. Ny love does not seem To
satisfy her. BETTER give her time To
make up her mind that she really pre-
fers mo to nil the rest"
II must admit that you show very
good sense. I will speak to Esteile. and
We shall 900 II she will not do better"
'"That would avail nothing. II this
love Of admiration, which usually car
ries with II love for dress. Ia a part
Of her nature. she will not heed your
admonitlon. shy nothing TO her.
Leave II to me 10 decide when. II ever.

There WINS no need for either to ad-
mOnisb Estelle. for she overheard ev-
cry word from behind portiere.
The winter social season was at its
height. and Estelle. being engaged. did
not scrupie to go out In the evening
with her lover M sole escort The 6rst
ball they attended after she had over
heard her lovers remarks about her
she put ON her finest costume and all
her Jewels. When Haywood saw her
thus arrhycd. he frowned. Az soon as
they arrived mt tho ball Estelle nc
cepted the attentions OF every man
who was disposed to seek her and
seemed pleased that their number WINS
greater than ever before. Haywood
stood beside her en- her card was M
ed. then left her to her FIRST partner
aud did not reJoln her TIL It wns time

note breaking the engagement.
Estelle incloscd his note without a
word Of comment or reply In an en-
veiope addressed to Hey wood Glover.

Hey wood was somewhat taken aback
at this unexpected treatment. lie con

The next entertainment at which

instead Of accepting the attentions Of

almost exclusively to one.
Things were not going Heywood's
way. Instead Of the apology he had
looked for ms the only possible solution
to the situation. Estelle had cut him
and had evidently taken up with an
other man. When the self deposed low
ar went home that night. he was very
near collapse, very nearly ready to
sue for reinstatement. But the next
morning h. awoke an hour before day

had had no place whatever IN his life.
Estelle endeavcred to freeze him by

to a very petty and transparent device.

herself FROM her partner. she went
