pride that made Aunt EvVie lie to

shook her. stop this at oncet
You know it's not the truth, his
evil talk. Lies! All lies!"
But she laughed again, shot n
malicious look at Diana-and
found her eyes held by the calm
dignity of the other.
II do love Ben" Diana said
quietly, almost exultantly. II
always will love him.
Benny released his hold on his
wife's shoulders, and all OF them
saw a light blaze in his face. EuI
Ann looked upon Diana's honesty
as her undoing; she seized the
moment.
You hear what she says? She
admits it! In love with my hus-
band---oh, she is Shameless vie
creaturer'
Her triumph was short lived.
The crowd was moving restlessly,
pausing only to see Ann turn
from Benny as he gripped her
arm, beat at him with her fists,
kicking, clawing like an enraged
cat. He caught her hands and
held them firmly until she was
still. Then Beatrice went to
Diana and led her away, still with
her head high, outraged but tri-
umphant.
Ann began a new TRADE as the
guests filed out, rathec silently,
full of scorn. Furious at being
thus ignored she flew at her hus-
band, slapped him squarely across
the face. TN make you suffer
for this-and make her suffer
all my life! hate you-hate you!
Get out now! Never want to see
you again-never. Go quick-go
on quick!'
Benny left her there. The worst
had happened; he could do moth
ing more. He spoke to Beatrice,
apologized miserably, and she
patted his arm.
Perhaps she'll go home with
Freddie" Beatrice said. Don't
think about it, Ben. I'm sorroy
for you-and for Di. Folks are
leaving now. I'll go right up to
her"
Benny walked the streets for
an hour-two hours-three. And
this is why he did not hear, until
nearly morning, what happened
after all the guests had lett the
club.
Dianna, once home. surprisingly
enough fell at once into ieep. re-
freshing sleep. Almost at dawn
she set out by motor for New
York and boarded the liner for
France.
So il was weeks later in Paris,
that she heard the news.

At the ferry building in San
Francisco Joan was telephoning.
"Mr. Barstow. Yes. I'll wait
for him sCurtis I'm so
lonely tonight. Would you like to
take me out somewhere"
Where have you been all day."
Curtis asked when Joan stepped
into the car beside him. Mother

Joan's long lashcs swept her
cheek. She felt she could not
