Deborah Burns.
She had never shown the least
sentimental interest in any young
man since she returned from her war
work in Europe. Some gossips say
that she had an unfortunate affair

so much mock sentiment that she is

contend that she is very reasonably
afraid of being married for her for

secret love for Jim makes it imposs-

her charms and had made that hasty
marriage, was a problem l could new
