 CHAPTGR XXXV
 sThere is always more than one way to kill q cat," Valeria told herself on the night after Peter left her so abruptly. Parties were evidently not tho way to bring him around. It had been mistake to take him to Dirk's.
 But there were waysi Every man has a weak spot in his armoF. What was Peters? Valeria must find out soon.
 She invited Miilicent over that afternoon for bridge. The others are coming about 2:30," she said. T wish you'd come early 50 we can have . good talk. It's been ages since l have seen you"
 The half hour failed to reveal anything useful. But in the course of the afternoon, Valeria learned a piece of news. It was Leslie Will 1onsbby who said. "I hear Peter may sell that darling place he bought from Ronnie Brent"
 "I don't know anything about it.. Miliicent answered bought the Brent placer
 You should know"
 'I didn't. Peter has never men toned 1t to me.
 If 1 had ben Peter, would have felt n little queer about buy ing the place. Bonnie was 50 much in love with Paula, and thon to have her sue him for q divorce be- fore the house was cofnpleted--'' Sue broke off, little confused as MilIIcent's eyes met hers calmly.
 Leslie, noting Sues hesitation, said boldly, i've heard Peters wife is away. For long?"
 'You'll have to ask Peter" Mill iicent answered shortly. T believe 1t is your play. Sue"
 Millicent was first to leave. When the door had closed behind her, Leslie said, "The Kendall's! Aren't they funny? So passionatcly loyal. if you know what 1 mean. Daring people to discuss their affairs. AS If they could stop tongues wagging when Peter goes out and marries some girl he scarcely knew and Carol eIopes with the chauffeur"
 ''Well, Of course. he wasn't q real chauffeur but terribly good-look- Ing college boy" Sue said.
 Tt would have been the same to Carol. That girl gets what she wants and doesn't care what any one thinks"
 "When you are as rich as Carol yoh can get by with anything" Sue said.
 "Everybody knows Peter's new wife has pulled out" This from Leslie. rAlthough nobody-except you, perhaps. Valeria -- knows why"
 "Why should know?" Valeria 1t . cigaFet coolly.
 No one expected Peter's mar riage to stick. Everyone knew he loved you. Peter was q darn fool to go out and pick up that girl In a fit of pique. He's evidently come to his senses. It's commendable of him, think"
 Valeria was silent. She knew 1t WAS A. becoming silence. Eyerybody
