| shadowed the rest OF the day for
- me. But | don't think my husband
would have been much gratified II he
had known just why | was depressed.
The personality OF the unknown
woman telephoning me at DicIV's be
hest did not annoy me at all. Neither
did the message she rclayed to me with
such evident malicious enjoyment, for
Dicky had already threatened to cut
Lilliars dinner, and | was very sure
that wholesome fear of Lillian's wrath
would keep him from carrying out his
threat
The thing which stung me, however,
carrying It's barbed dart into the secret
recesses Of my soul, was the fact that
Dicky could do so oaddsh thing as to
take some other woman into his conf
dence regarding his plan to tease me.
The malicious enjoyment in the girls
voice a. she relayed the message
showed me only too plainly that Dicky
must have confided in her, and the
realization that he had done so made

famous adjuration to women, Heaven

not love you because of|your foible,

time that had been compelled to as.
sure myself that loved my husband "in
spite" OF some revealed defect in his
character. My common sense told me,
however, that there was no use brood
ing over the matter and put it out OF
my mind as soon as could.

walk, pleading fatigue. AT luncheon h,

less, had caused him poignant misery
andI wondered If he might not still b.
worrying over the temperance Of Mrs
Allis, the woman who had once calle,
herself his wife, and while doing so haC
wrecked his life.
My question was answered by on,
from him. Just before we arose from
the luncheon table he asked in what h,
evidently meant to be a careless tone
but which my ear recognized as tense
strained
