about divorce; all this unnecessary

left to hold the pair together.
Lots of first loves last! How

Chickie shut her eyes, smiled
vaguely. She managed to say:

Janina's words condemned him.
Listening to them, Chickie wanted
to steal away; never look at that

said to herself coldly: "No-Im

When they pushed out with the
crowd into the glarish lights of
the vestibule, the jostling, the
noisy talk and laughter Of the
people about her sounded stupid
and boisterous. She took Mary's
arm. Lets hurry"
Mary Uttered: Heavens,
Chickie. you're sentimental!'
''Well--I suppose so. 1t gets
my goat in these pictures that
the man is always the one who
grows tired"
Mary shrugged. "Oh, pictures
or life, Chickie, men are foot
loose, you know"
"But why should man cease
to care any more than a girl?"
Mary considered this a long
time. "Well, I believe that
women also get tired, but they're
afraid to let go for fear they'll
go down and down. They look
on the man as kind of life
saver, a protection. The man
knows he has nothing to lose by
getting tired; but the woman has,
or she thinks she has. It's the
same thing"
You're talking old.fashioned,.

She felt Mary'S arm tremble:

Mary said: Its a great deal

And even If you say that kind of
love isn't wrong-well, it's stupid.
Why should a girl take a chance

She hurried down the street.
Dizziness whirled about her.

against a garden rail, wiped her
face. 1t seemed to her that her
ideas were falling about her like
blocks that child has unsteadily
builded into tower.

licked her face he seemed to
know the tears, or she fancied
that he did because of the eager
devotion in his eyes. 1t made
her cry.
All the next day she was de.
pressed. She identified herself
with the girl in the play. She
imagined Barry the hero, looking
at her coldly, putting her off
when she chung to him. The
sense Of desertion laid hold Of
her.
By o'clock she was excited

civil service help is all right. but it
