daughters hand, do you continually
put of the wedding?"
Haywood Glover sat musing for a
few moments before replying to his
prospective mother-in-law's question.
Il am not sure Estelle and will he
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 me to all the rest
Il must admit that you show very
good SENSE will speak to Estelle, and
we shall see If she will not do better"
"That would avail nothing If this
love of admiration, which usually car
ries with it Il love for dress. is part
of her nature. she will not heed your
admonition. Say nothing to her.
Leave it to me to decide when, if ever.
she is fitted to get on with one man"
There was no need for either to ad
monish EStelp. for she overheard ev-
cry word from behind pOrtiere.
The winter social season was at its
T.,
not scrlple to 20 out in the evening
with her lover as sole escort. The first
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 arraycd. he frownpd. AS soon as
they arrived at the ball Estelle ac-
cepted the attentions of every man
who was disposed to seek her and
seemed pleased that their number was
greater than ever before. Haywood
stood beside her till her card was fill
ed. then left her to her first partner
and did not rejoin her till it was time
to leave. The next day he wrote her
note breaking the engagement.
Estelle incloSed his note without
word Of comment or reply in an en-
velope addressed to Haywood Glover.
Esq, and sent it through the mail.
Haywood was somewhat taken aback
at this unexpected treatment. He con-
sidered it, to say the least, evidence Of
wayward disposition. He deemed
himself insulted by the girl who was
to have been his wife and the next
step, if any. must be an apology from
her. This was a mans view.
The next entertainment at which
Haywood and Estelle met was a prom
enade concert. EStelle was dressed
with the utmost simplicity. This was
gratifying to Haywood. though some
what surprising He hoped it was in
Difference to his wishes till Estelle
passed him on the arm of her escort
when she turned away her head.
There is no weapon with which wo-
man can fight Il man so effectively as
contempt. Haywood WINGED. How tan
talizing that she should have respected
his wishes as to her costume and at
the same time declined to recognize
him! There was another Inconsistency
instead of accepting the attentions Of
a number of men. she confined herself
almost exclusively to one.
Things were not going HeywOOd's
way. Instead of the apology he had
looked for as 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
er went home that night, he was very
near collapse, very nearly ready to
sue for reinstatement. But the next
morning he awoke an hour before day
light and thought it all over when his
/ nd UUh I
might, to fight to finish.
When a resOlute man makes up his
| mind that he is right and. after often
| going over his premises, invariably
comes to the same conclusion, he is
hard to move. Day after day passed
during which Haywood whenever he
met Estelle treated her as though she
had had no place whatever in his life
Estelle endeavOred to freeze him by
her naughty demeanOr and at times
made him feel that he was worm o.
the dust. She went so far as to cir
culate a report that she was engaged
to another man. But he stood firm.
Then Haywood, being somewhat lef
out in the cold. took up with widow
This move, though he made it withou
the slightest intention of using it as ;
weapon, carried CONSERVATION to hi
beloved enemy. EStelle, panic stricken
sought an immediate opportunity TO
surrender, but instead of sending TO
Haywood and frankly confesSing tina
she had been in the wrong she resortet
to very petty and transparent device
At a cOtillion party, suddenly releasing
herself from her partner, she wen
over to where Haywood was STANDING
and without looking at him pinned
favor to the lapel Of his coat. Then
casting up her eyes, she feigned to hav
been mistaken in the person. Heywoo'
was not duped. nor did she expect hin
to be- Why she had not surrendere
openly and aboveboard he. being
g man, could not see, but he did nc
, trouble himself about so small maj
ter since he knew from that momen
he was her master. He put his arm

After circling the room Haywood lie
her into a window seat, where they r.
mained for the rest of the evening
q Then and there treaty of peace wa
signed. Haywood was very lenier
y with her. though she knew we'll tbs
d he would stand no more tri6ing.
However. all this was much ad
about nothing. for Mrs. Glover, no
