sympathy on the strength OF
having an uncongenial wife?
And that still less should he
propose q friendship that is 50
dangerous for her? And shall
she call the whole thing of

herself that sne must never In
dulge for q married man that
warm, soft plying feeling, that
is innocent, maternal, Sisterly,
friendly, whatever you like, but
that Is certain, sooner or later,
In one way or another, to cost
her dear?
In any case. this is the
course that / have advised Mar.
jorie to follow. Do you agree
with me?
AS for the agreeable young
man, my suspicion Is that he
isn't 50 unhappi1y married,
after ali. Or perhaps his wife
has much more to complain Of
than he has. Or, II his misery
Is genuine and his life one
that cannot be borne, he should
secure his own freedom before
making condolences that are
likely to arouse the pity-and,
later on, the lcve-of the Mar
jories that he may meet.
If you're not entitled to
make love directly, to q pretty
girl whom you see every day,
it's q temptation, I suppose,
to lead her to feel sorry for
you. Which Is an indirect and
unfair and by no means hon.
orable way Of making love.
Marjorie must realize that
her married acquaintance has
no right to invite her out In
the evening, and that she Is
not at liberty to accept his
invitations. She must see that
her own scruples at entering
upon a companionship that
had to be kept secret, were
very sound ones. And she must
make UP her mind, for the
next few months, until that lit
tie heartache, II she has one,
Is mended, to accept every in
vitation she can muster from
honest, eligible young bachelors
linen who aren't concealing
anything.
The agreeable young man
who says disloya1 things about
his wife must be cut out of
her life completely.
And for my own part, am
very grateful to Marjorie for
telling me about him before
matters had gone any further
and before he had wrecked her

as the man in the car.
Would you recognize the

Sure I would"
"Do you see her anywhere
In the courtroom?"
Grace Varney was in the sec.
ond row in the end seat. She
had taken the same seat almost
every day from the beginning
of the trial. She realized she
was trapped. She hung her
head as If to screen her fca-
lures from the view Of the
witness.
David had risen to his feet.
He turned in anguish toward
Grace. The matron, too, had
risen and taken q few steps
forward, unconscious Of what
she was doing until the bailfff
stepped to her side and warned
her in 1ow-Spoken words.
Officer MyleS was scanning
the audience. It was evident
that the entire trick had been
planned. He pointed his finger
at Grace Varney.
That's her there"
Grace did the ridiculous
thing. She rose to her feet
and turned toward the door as
though there were some hope
Of escape. She was quickly ;n-
tercepted by an officer Of the
court and brought forward.
Simpson requested that she
be immediately subroenaed as
a material witness.
When this forrnality was ar
ranged, MyleS was excused and
Grace Varney took her place on
the witness bench. Dale watched
the pathetic efforts Of Grace and
David to give courage to each

She had barely sat down when
another figure-a man-entered
the courtroom and walked to-
ward the witness bench with q
staggering air. His clothes pro
claimed the man. They would

But the, startling events Of
the Wells trial had only begun.
The first favorable reaction to-
ward David Wells had come
with the unexpected turn in the
testimony of Eta Billings.
The day following Juliet
Wells took the stand. Her re-
lationship to the defendant was

to a small table upon which

In discussing "fattening cures"
this week I have perhaps over
emphasized the difficulties. This
has been done deliberately, for
there is no profit in holding
out glittering prospects which
cannot be realized. It may as
well be admitted that there are
some underweight people with
whom all our fattening cures
fail. The only comfort that
can be held out to them is that
they are probably going to live
thin to be ninety or a hundred
years old.
For many others q consider
able gain in weight is possible.
The general plan for such
cures has four parts:
