More Trusting
Andre had been a revelation to
him; an angel; an almost unbe-
lievable creature. He had heard
OF women Nike her and read about
them, but he had never expected
one to cross his path. At once
he was enanloured, and resolved
that IL it were humanity possible
he would make her his wife.
In this, as we know, he was
successful, and he, too, for a
while, was ideally happy. But
then came doubts, doubts which
he had to admit himself were
groundless, yet which persisted
until occasionally he and Andree
had a scene.
After one OF these spats he
would resolve to be more trusting.
Then something would come to
his knowledge, some wife would
be carrying on a liaison under the
nose of her husband or the like.
Herbert would see and begin to
wonder il he too were blind. He
suffe0d the torments of the

his own making. For a sweeter,
purer or more honorable wife

even after they returned to New
York and went to live in pala

marveled. Those who had gloom

was the miracle of the age.
After a while though, people be-

ceased conjecturing about them.
When two years had passed and
the two were still husband and
wife they no longer wondered
what Andree had seen in Herbert
and why she had married him.
But about that time ATdree be-

And loathe cheapness."
This would reassure him--for a
while. Then something, some
little incident, real or imagined,
would cause his jealousy and
doubts TO blaze up again.
In many ways his jealousy was
understandable. Before he had
met Andree the women, he had
known We're light women; chorus
