1 are so many things I remember picnics. football games, moonlit drives
 Gypsy's cheeks had lost etheir color. Her eyes studied the other girl intently. Jim told me-" she said.
 Jim told you?" Suddenly Mar cia Phillips voice rose to a harsh pitch. Just what did he tell you if I may ask 2"
 He told me you used to be en- gagged"
 That's right, she said. We were engaged. We were engaged until four months ago. Such foolish little lovers quarrel - something about dancing with another man fatoa party--made me give back his ring. The next thing I heard Jim was married. My pride was hurt. Brock Phillips had been urging me to marry him for months. In a reckless moment I agreed. Brock gave me everything but didn't love him, I never could love him" Why are you telling all this to me?" Gypsy asked in a strained voice.
 Because you took him away. You did." Suddenly the gray-blue eyes blazed. 1T came here to-day to tell you something. You've got to give up Jim Wallace! You have his name all right but I'm the one who has his love. You've got to give him up"
 1T don't understand"
 "Oh, yes you do. You know Jim Wallace never cared for you. He only married you because he was jealous and angry At the very time he was listening to the mar riage ceremony I was the one he was thinking of! I tell you Jim loves me and love him. You've got to go away = divorce him. You've got to free him!' You want me. to divorce Jim ?" "Oh course. It's the only way to
 make things right" Gypsy was silent, looking down at the floor. "I'm sorry" she said presently, T can't do it." You mean you won't? Oh, but you'll have to! You can't keep a man tied to you legally when he doesn't love you. It's immoral. Why, it's barbarous! You couldn't do thing like that"
 Yes" Gypsy replied. "I think could. It seems better to me to keep a husband than to try to take lsomeone else's-"
 Marcia Phillips rose to her feet. Her usual pallor was heightened. The flame-red lips were distorted with anger and her eyes flashed. You'll be sorry you said that!" sho threatened "No wonder Jim doesn't care anything about you. You're just common little nobody after his money. had no idea you were so contemptible! We'll, you'll have to give him up just the same! You'll see!"
 Gypsy was standing. too, now. If Jim wants me to divorce him.. Eshe said evenly, hell have to tell me himself. l don't know why you came here but I know it wasn't be- cause Jim told you to. I don't be-
 lieve he knows anything about it..
 It seems to me this matter is be- l tween Jim and me and not for out 1 siders."
 "Oh!" exclaimed Marcia. It
 seemed as far as vocal power could
 carry her. She was half way to the
 door. Suddenly she turned and
 glared back at Gypsy. You think
 you've got him, don't you? We'll see about that!"
 A young woman wearing Mar
 cia's scant garb could scarcely be
 said to "flounce" from the house
