step nearer she buried her face in
her hands and shrank away again.
Astounded, Mabel gazed at the

SYPHILIS head rolled vacantly, like

her throat moved convuIsiyely

a sensational divorce case that
has the whole town talking.
Sybil has petitioned for divorce
from RICHARD EUSTIS, whom
she married secretly, and with
whom she lived only two weeks.
She asks also for custody of her
child, TEDDY, whom Eustis has
seen-and the right to re-
sumo her maiden name.
Her husband, phiIanderer and
adventurer, counters by filing
suit for 100000 against CRAIG
NEWHALL, alleging alienation
of Sybii's affections. Newhaii,
who has always loved Sybil,
is altogether guiltless of the
charge, but the suit makes a
tremendous story for the news
