CHAPTER XLVI
DEITY CARLYLE set off for Keno
- three days after the return Of
her uearl necklace. She wore a
smart brown suit and a tiny
,udacious hat as she boarded the
rain. Her lips were bright scar
ct and her lashes carefully mas
,araed. There were half a dozen
pieces of luggage to be carried Oh
and slowed in the compartment
BETTY kissed her mother and Jokeo
n an extremely modern fashion but
her laughter was brittle and slight
ly high-pitched.
On the day before her departure
she had amazed Janet by apologiz

course she couldn't know what that
man was. | never liked him!
couldn't tell Betty that, but I've
known all along he'd make her un'
happy"
That man" was Rolf. 1t was
the Only way in which Mrs. Curtis
ever referred to him from that
day on.
To Mrs. Thornton she said, ats
not as though people look at d.
vorces nowadays the way they did
Shen you and | were girls. But
to think this could happen to
Betty"
CHE refused to accept Invitations
land much of the time kept to her
room. Janet found her there one
afternoon sitting before a chest OF
drawers. The lower drawer had
been pulled out, revealing stacks of
old photographs, a pile Of garments
