THIS HAS HAPPENED

SYBIL THORNE, bride of two
weeks, leaves her husband on
their honeymoon. She is return
ing from Havana with MABEL
BLAKE, a Boston social worker,
with whom she took the voyage
on which she met RICHARD
EUSTIS, who wooed and won
her in five days. On their Wedd-
ing night Richard becomes in
toxicated and remains in that
condition the greater part of the
time. SybiI, in disgust, leaves
him, returning to Boston with
Mabel who, meantime, has be-
come engaged to JACK MOORE,
an American whom she met in
Havana.
SYPHILIS marriage has been par
ticularly unfortunate because of
her engagement to CRAIG NEW
HALL, who has loved her devot-
eddy for several years. Mabel
hopes that a quiet divorce may
be obtained and that SybiI may
still marry Craig. But if SybiI is
going to have a child, that COM
~plicates matters.
Prior to her engagement to
Craig SybiI loved JOHN LAW
RENEE, a soldier who was sent
TO France on the eve of their
marriage and never returned.
Following the death of her father
and the marriage of her broth
err. TAD, to VALERIE WEST,
a selfish and fIighty little thing,
Sybil suggested to Craig that
she take a vacation with Mabel
in order to reach a decision re-
garding her marriage to him. Be-
cause of her persevering love
for John, SybiI fears that she
may not love Craig enough to
marry him. Then she meets Eus-
tis-and life grows more COM
pIicated.

we'll"
And Mabel, when she received it
smiled. "The darling fool" she
murmured. HE doesn't know
what he's talking about"
For weeks Sybil waited fearfully
for word from her husband. Every
time the telephone rang she
feared a message. She watched
for the postman as she had watch
ed once before, years ago, when
every day brought a letter from
John Lawrence. Nervously she
sorted the mail, looking always for
the foreign stamp that would
mean Richard was still in Havana.
Jack Moore had written that he
understood Eustis had moved from
the Seville to a smaller hotel in
the suburbs, where John Arnold
had taken a permanent residence.
Arnold had become friendly with
nanced the opening of an Ameri-
can Tea and Gifte Shoppe, of
which they were to be co-part-
ners.
Richard was probably in on it
too, wrote Moore. Living expenses
were high in Havana, and he had
reason to believe that Eustis had
already found himself in debt.
Away from the glamour of his
presence, Sybil put Richard calm
ly down as an adventurer and a
~philanderer.
81 don't care that for him!" she
would say, and snap her fingers
derisively in the lonely darkness
of her bedroom.
But then, when sleep would not
come, she would put her hands
wildly to her head to still the
maddening beat in her temples.
And, by and by, she would lie
quietly on her back with her arms
stretched along her fevered body.
20 Love! 0 Fire! Once he
drew
With one long kiss my whole
soul through
My lips, as sunlight drinketh
dew
81 hate him! l hate him!" she
sobbed, and her heart was full of
loathing.
Weeks passed, and there had
been no word. Once, as she glanc-
ed apprehensively through the
days mail, she remembered that
she would not know Richards
handwriting if she should see it.
Il never even had a love letter
him!" she reflected bitterly.
The ear rings he had given her
she had left on her dressing table
1t the Seville. They had been his
only gift. The little sapphire
she had worn as a wedding
ing had mysteriously disappeared,
and Sybil regarded it's loss as a
good omen.
I've noting" she told herself,
to remind me of him-not a keep

haunt me but wretched emo
She thought less often of John
and more frequently of
