At the hotel, Bob remained silent
and Indifferent to my woes. That was
masculine. l became independent and
laxative. That was feminine. I
spoke of Berghoff and the horrible
end to which destiny had driven him
"a snake killed by snake-but l
passed over the final incidents of that
wretched morning. In short, I hu-
mored Bob's mood, although I didn't
like myself for doing it. l was de-
termined to let him depart without a
settlement of our trouble. Above all,
| wanted to avoid making an exhibit
ton of my own unstable nerves. That
kept from crying, as 1 chartered,
was triumph, but one which really
gave me little satisfaction.

have had a fit of Mysteries, followed
by a comfortable reconciliation and
to have sent Bob off with hug and
a kiss, according to popular formula
for domestic bliss.
To abide by the facts in the case
was difficult but honest at least. No
caress could alter the fact that my
husband was doubling me wrongfully
and that he was leaving me in great
mental distress-to hasten to the res
cue of an INSCRIPTIONS beauty

husband seeks aid in how to regtin his
wife's affection. The lawyer, who is
1.-The Girl with Carmine Lips ad-
vises him to start proceedings for a
divorce suit and to become conscip-
uously interested in many attractive
women whom he must entertain at his
apartment. Many complicated situa-
lions arise which keep the audience in
outbu~sts of laughter throughout. The
second scene shows the husband and
apartment until suddenly interrupted
by his wife and mOther-in-law.
Mathews, the butler, played by Dali

son in the well known comedy, up In
