 You know that Mary is madly in love with Tom Jenkins, and that When he proposed she was the hap piest woman in the world. Every thing went fine with them and there was not a cloud in the sky until IL was announced that his cousin from Kentucky was coming to the city on visit,
 "Ie asked Mary to make her stay pleasant for her. and, of course, Mary was only too glad to do 1t, but when the girl came she simply took Tom in her arms. Mary could not get a F... N. A -f.A ...Ir advantage of their relation to make love to him. she fixed his tie she tousled his hair and she did all those things that make q woman madly jealous and make a man a fool.

 "You see, she knew If the Spots wood girl came there in that pink gown, with all the table decorations the candle shades and the other women In yellow, she will look like very old scratch and would be sc downcast over it she would not be able to talk or anything. and Tom woud see that the local women were not only better looking, but better dressed.
 Well. everything was all right except that when the car with Mary and Tom in it stopped for her she came down swathed in long black motor coat and veil. and Mary could not see her until she was ready to gc into the supper room, and then Mary found that she had on that gorgeous black, low-cut gown and those yellow decorations and the yellow dresses of the other women were simply q background to show her off, just like platinum setting with her as the diamond.
 ''No wonder she was brilliant, No wonder she looked beautiful. No won- der the other women were stupid and depressed.
