At this point Belinda rose and said,
in tone louder and firmer than was
her custom in speaking: "You cannot
imagine how you shock me-"
''Shock me, my dear?" said her hus-

"All of you," she answered.
"You mean because we so easily be-

anything like of her. But all of you,
yes, even my father, were yielding
yourselves a few hours ago to her

her, in your own way-JuniuS violently,
Constantine with sort of protecting
friendship, and my father with a fiat

yet, it now appears that all the time
you were considering her the sort of
woman who would commit jewel rob-
berry whenever she could :"
Men, my dear Belinda" said Con-
nors, "are obliged to take life more
factually than women do"
Virtue is as factual as vice." said
Belinda.
"As factual, but not so frequent" an

his epigram. MY own profession, my
dear, is not entirely out of touch with
reality, and, I own, am convinced of
the logic of Connors' case. But" he
added, II think it's very sweet and
feminine of you to be shocked at the
mere suggestion that your friend could

Then what is it shocks you?" asked
Ball, really eager to understand.
"The fact that you can be charmed
by a woman in whose integrity you
have no confidence"
MY dear Belinda" said Connors,
you are too much woman of the
world to suppose that the copybooks
are right and that integrity and charm
go hand in hand"
"And yet I do believe it," she re-
turned, because, in my case, it is true.

believe him to be good-if I found he
was liar and CRATER and a thief,
shouldn't love him. I should stick to
him, perhaps, for the sake of old times
but 1 should despise him, and I could
not love any one despised."
II don't understand what you're driv-

should think you'd be relieved that
Constantine is clear-sighted enough
about this woman-who did obviously
attract him-to realize that she may be
a bad lot, in spite of her beauty"
