 But soon he started to fall away. First it was this thing this night and that the next night making it impossible for him to be with me; his soft disposition began to get streaks of grouches moods Of sneers, humors of temperS.
 Strange to say, had felt 1t coming and George if he Ia still alive and reads these lines and recog nises in them the account of his unsportsmanly conduct toward a feeble little ragamuffin who ido- lized him and gave all she had in return for miserably cruel nothing-wiiI have to admit that if was easy for him to conquer, was as easy for him to lose.
 The climax came when one night he swore at me because the evening before he had actually "stood me up" on an appointment and let me wait three hours on the steps of church and then walk home discouraged. l asked him simply if he had grown tired of me. His answer was some round- about way of saying 1t was my fault, that I was getting peevish and unreasonable and trying to "hook' him into giving me all his time, when knew from the first he was married.

Men meant much to me In my program of life but grew to mean less and less to me inside I didn't hate them, but guess had lost my respect for them. I wasn't golddigger, but felt that they owed me something for my time, and found most of them expected to be wheedled or vamped or begged out of something. learned the hard philosophy of the trader-to give little as pos sible for as much obtainable-and got along that way without actually being social outcast or ever getting much kick out of life.
 My bad luck with men who offered marriage kept up. The ones who saw me that way all hap pened to go against my grain, and the ones met whom would have gladly married either had wives weren't playing that way. was more hearuess I admit, with the ones who loved me honestly than with the ones who weren't with me- for some Of them felt deeply, whereas I never did had no more cases of such wild infatuation as George had in spired, though had several cases of men who seemed to go really mad over me, and who threat ened to kill themselves, bombarded me with every extreme and annoyed me greatly.
