Dick went away on sunday night
He did not evince the slightest curl
osity when | told him what Eleanor
said to me. Neither did he mention
that he had been at the hospital.
l did not mention the fact that |
saw some one that looked like him
coming out of the gate. for | would be
ashamed to have him think ] am sus-
plcious.
[ would say that jealousy is made
up Of selfishness and deprecia-
tion,
| guess ] am too egotistical to be
Jealous l have never yet seen a
woman that | think would suit Dick
better as a wife than l, just as nav
never vet seen a man who would suit
me better as a husband than Dick,
with all his faults
I might be hurt and unhappy If 7
thought Dick cared for any woman
more than he did for me, but ! hope
l would be- big enough to settle the
question in the right way.
Mrs. Tennev was over to see me to-
dav and she said: Sometimes, Mrs.
Waverly, / wonder If | did right in
getting a divorce from VIII? I don't
believe he Is happv and ! know | am
not. sometimes think II | could
have just managed to put up with him
for a few wears until he had grown
wiser, or at least older we would have
spent the last years of our life in con
tent, if not great happiness.
When a woman is young she Is
very apt to think that unfathfulness
is the greatest Of all sins against her.
u tc h,,t do 1
beginning TO feel that one can forgive
an occasional lapse easier than one
can bear constant pickering, constant
fault-finding and constant sordid
stinginess?
Bill was always good to me-when
he was with me- He gave me all the
money | wanted to spend; he would
have divided his last dollar with me.
He never was cross with me- and do
not think that. with the exception of
Miss Malram. he ever really cared for
any one of the many women on whom
he showered his care-free attentions
"Since l have been separated from
him l have never found a man who
suited me as well. vCc / let him go out
OF my life because I was Jealous and
suspicious. and now I'll probably go
to nv grave alone and unhappy. Yes
my dear Mrs. Waverly, although l
tried to love another man, l found 1t
impossible and | am unhappier with
out VIII than ] was with him. AS
he would say That's going some" ="
she added with n woeful laugh.
DO YOU think he really cared for
Kitty Malram?" she aked rather wist-
fully.
Yes" I answered truthfully; 81
think he cared for her very much,
and you will forgive me for saying
that YOU should have made your de-
cision early In that affair. You should
have either entered the lists with
Kitty and made Yourself so attractive
that Bill would have been glad to
come back into the fold or else you
should have given him his freedom so
that he could have taken Kitty As
II Is, you have spoiled both his and
your own lives. Fortunately, / think
Kitty Malram has married better than
II she had taken Mr.. Tenney."
- II don't see why" flared up Mrs
Tenney "Will Tenney is kindness
itself to the woman with whom he is
In love"
b. Yes. that is just it, my dear. but
you see he is not always in love with
the same woman" Even she has TO
smile at this.
Have you seen him lately" she
asked.
Now. little book, can you tell me
what there is about Bill Tenney. who
Is IS years old. getting bald and un-
deniably fat, that is so fascinating that
two splendid women IKE Mrs. Tenney
and Kitty Malram should continue TO
think about him and inquire about
him so solicltouslv from time to time? |
