But Brent was coming home for
Christmas and that was happiness for
the parents. Only they did wish Brent
was more like the boy he had prom

hard about him. He had told them the

getting divorce from his wife.
But my friend Is so honorable" "
Brent had said "He wants the d.

though still she loves him, but he is
having her secure the divorce and is
paying all the expenses, for it Is only

1t was his high sense of honor which
kept him from telling her-to have a
man break the engagement would have
been dishonorable"
