while she would have an excuse
to demand heavy alimony and at
the same time vent her spite
upon this woman she hated for
being all she. herself, could not
be.
So to the best of her ability,
still befogged as it We're by drink,
she assumed what she conceived
to be the role OF the betrayed
wife, and haughtily declared that
she wished no word with her

her. Think you can lecture me,

sensed nothing wrong; besides,
everybody felt a reasonable Curl

wide.eyed with expectancy, smil-
ing a little. looking with aston
ishment at Diana and Benny.
Ann moved ahead, staggering
to a table where a decanter and
glasses were laid out, poured her

neatly. Then she perched upon
the table, swinging her feet as
she lighted a cigarette, which
she waved IN the direction of her

leaving him standing uncomfort-
