! Mrs. West, garrulous and excited,
put her arms about Sybil and
pecked Mrs. Thorne. Groups of
smartly- dressed women bowed when
they passed.
Girls with whom Sybil had gone
to school reached over the backs of
the courtroom benches to clasp her
hand. Mrs. Grayson bowed SereneIy
from across the room.
There were a great many strang-
ers and a number Of intimates.
Most of their casual friends had
the good breeding to stay away, but
there were a number of women with
whom Sybil had bowling acquaint-
ance.
They seemed engrossed with re-
mote objects when Sybil glanced
their way. Some Of them craned to
look out the windows.

Others were absorbed in con-
temptation of the throngs that
crowded through the corridors to
the courtroom door, where a court
officer in a blue uniform with brass
buttons refused further admittance.
Reporters at the press table
asked questions of one another
eagerly:

Somehow that Thursday evening
date with George Priutt wasn't
going off quite so gaily as Crystal
had planned. Maybe he was a
little disguised with her for having
refused to tear up Vera Castles
letter about Mile. Eloise Dumont.
He'd told her to write Vera, hadn't
he? Then why be so 8queamish
when Vera revealed the fact that
Mademoiselle had been fired from
Bradley.
So it was rather a relief when
Tony came charging noisily into
Faiths house, by way of the hos
pitably open front door and
straight into the dimly lighted sun
parlor.

Tony demanded with mock disap-
proval. Then, as George obligingly
turned on another lamp, Thanks!
I just wanted to see how George
Pruitt looks when he bushes! I've
never seen you blush, darling,
But then-youve never made

laughed, as George started to rise

1t doesn't make a bit of difference

Ghink it's funny. I don't mind a
bit. Tad, carry mother into
the drawing room. The big
red chair, Tad. =. And we'll give
you a nice cup of good strong cof-
fee, darling. and you'll be all
right in a minute"
Tad lifted her as though she
were a child, and Valerie brought
pillows and foot stool, and when
they had made her comfortable,
they tried to make her laugh.
Cant you see what a joke it is O.
demanded Sybil. THE man never
saw me in his life. He doesn't know
thing about me, really. Let me
read it to you, dear. It's simply a
scream!'
But Mrs. Thorne waved away the
lurid sheet with her little futter-
ing, blue-veined hands
"Oh, please" she begged, please
That dreadful, dreadful man! What
can I do?"
Tad stood on the hearth rug with
his feet wide apart, and his hands
plunged in his pockets.

where the part lay pink and broad

Sybil glanced at the watch on
her wrist.
"Eight-thirty!" she cried. And
court begins at nine. Well have to
hurry. Do you feel up to it, mother
or had you rather stay right here,
and rest?"
up to it!' Mrs. Thorne put a
hand on each arm of the big red
chair. MY dear, I feel like a new
woman. Do you know what I'm
going to do?"
She raised herself to her feet and
surveyed her children with quiet
dignity.
I'm going to sue that man. I
don't know exactly how it can be
done, but I'll see a lawyer today.
There must be some law for the
protection of a client or patient in
confidential consultation. Maybe
he is practicing illegally. There
will be some way Of getting at him.
I'll sue him for $100,O0O-and at
tach everything he's got He thinks
I'm nothing but a neurotic, silly

Laughing, they crowded about
her, to pat her shoulders and kiss
her faded cheeks.

TINE photographer grinned good
Il naturedly.
"It's all in the days work, Mr..
Newhall. It's my bread and butter,
popping off celebrities and Grim
inals and such. But the jobs not
worth the chance in case like
this. I should Of taken you from
across the street, and asked ques-
tons afterward. I'm John Dumb
for sure"
He shifted his camera to the
other hand, raised his hat pleas
antly, and took himself off. Then
he skirted around back ways, ap-
preached the house from the side,
and succeeded in getting a picture
that was subsequently captioned:
'Thorne Home Where Lovely Bride
Remains Virtual Prisoner"
Tad brought home more papers
when he came to dinner, and the
family council that evening was
divided between wrath and means.
Sybil put her mother to bed with
a sedative, and Craig mixed cock
tails for medicinal purposes.
"You shouldn't have started it,
Sib," complained Tad.
"She's been right all through"
defended Valerie, stoutly.
And Craig, his face flushed dark
ly, was ominously silent.
In the nursery, when she crept
in to kiss Teddy good night Sybil
found her mother, crying softly.
THANK God," she sobbed broken
ly, your poor father didn't live to
see this day"
The injustice OF it hurt Sybil
more than any Of them knew. Bit
terly resentful, she scorned defense.
IF they weren't blind as bats"
she told herself f1ercely, "if they
weren't too selfish to think of any,
one but themselves, they couldn't
blame me so. Infatuation isn't a
sin. 1t isn't wrong to marry a
man. 1 didn't do anything wicked
and you'd think I was a
moral leper!"
F1ercely she crushed and tore the
newspapers and ground them on
the floor beneath her heels.
"Oh, it isn't fair. 1t isn't fair!"
NEXT morning there were more
~ stories and an entire page in
the Boston Telegraph devoted to
pictures. Sybil in a swimming
suit. Sybil in a ball gown. Sybil

Craig from the Harvard Year Book.

Valerie surveyed the heap Of pa
pers distastefully.
II wouldn't look at them" she
said, and pushed them away.
Then the Gazette's red headlines
caught her eye.

 In addition to measuring this pressure there is also diastolic pressure which has to do with the heart at It's relaxed phase. This lower pressure is so at 20 years of age and 100 at SO years of age.

 Women instinctively pay at- tention to details, to the small wants of guests" Mrs. Randle said. Women are much more consistent in their policies than men, I really believe. And of course their intuition, tells them when to make an exception to their hard and fast hotel rules.

 Deafness or malformed voice chords will retard speech. If a child makes no effort to produce any sounds at two years of age there is possibly a physical reason. But if he does not actually talk, do not worry.
