numerous admirers. She yielded to tho

neglected her home for the society Of

Mrs. Springer was the wife Of a
wealthy banker. She had beauty, So

she was not satisfied. She craved the
sinful fascination of illicit firtations.
She was the center of group of social
lizards who danced attendance on her.
In the absence of her husband she gave
entertainments to. her admirers at the
country club, and the golf club and
other fashionable societies OF which her
husband was a member.
In the course of her gay life she be-
came involved with several wealthy
clubmen, high in social and business
life, who became infatuated with her.
By the course she led she not ONLY
broke up her own domestic happiness,
but ruined the homes of several others.
