riages for money and not for love
Joel thought. apparently her
price is high. and was intrigued.
Then one day Joel bought gift
for TesSa They were going away
on weekend with friends. and
he wanted 10 surprise Tessa with
a new perfume.
BUYS SUBSTITUTE
The drafted thing broke and
spattered. He topped in two
neighborhood stores. and they
didn't have it. He bought some
thing else.
He presented il 10 TeSSa, and
she was very pleased. She said il
smelled heavenly.
He explained that what she
smelled was the odor clinging n
his clothes from the other bottle.
She opened the new bottle and, of
course, il was not the same,
THEN SUSPICION
She thanked him in a subdued
voice and su d d enl V burst into
tears. He was alarmed. He asked
her If she was i'll. She said:
IL don't believe you about that
other bottle. I believe you've
been with Kate Forester"
Joel was completely outraged.
He had forgotten that Kate was
on earth.
! They quarrelcd then. the most
bitter quarrel they had ever had.
Joel shouted savagely. Tessa
stamped his face.
He raised his own hand and
dropped II instantly. But TesSa
acted as if he had struck her.
She said she would not 60 any
where with wife-beater, nor
would she stay home with one in
peril OF her life.
She snatchcd up her bag and
flung out of the house. threatening

her.

70 him as the woman he wanted
10 leave her for, the woman whose
charm must far outweigh hers or
there would be no reason for him
TO want TO leave her. 1t made
perfect sense TO Joel.
Now TeSSa was dead. Now he
was free 10 marry the better
woman.
The train was taking him nearer
and nearer 10 her. But some
thing extraordinary was happen
ing.
The image of Kate was growing
DINNER and DINNER. All that was
printed on his mind was the neb-
ulous outline of woman at a
party. a woman he had not even
noticed until TcSSa made him
aware Of her.
He thought she was TcsSa'S Grey
alton. She belonged 10 Tessa far
more than she ever belonged TO
me.
II was TeSea who made her
magical, and the magic has gone
with Tcssa. All these years l saw
her through Tessa'S eyes.
II was no use getting in touch
with Kate. Tcesa had taken Kate
with her.

the storms, and the pacific periods
in between.
Sometimes the storms lasted
week after week, sometimes the
calm seemed enduring.
Then Hates telegram would
come, and he would have TO see
her.
He would meet her somewhere,
and buy her a cocktail. and send
her home with a vague promise
TO get in touch with her. He had
no intention of keeping il.
But TesSa would know that he
had seen Kate. There was some
thing about his WEAKNESS that
would tell her.
She would misunderstood. The
battle would begin, and he would
think of Kate sitting quietly in the
cocktail lounge. telling him with
out tears that II was enough for
her 10 accept the crumbs from
TeSSaS table.
In one of these moments of his
WEAKNESS that TeSSa chose 10 az
gravate rather than aSsuage. he
returned 10 Kate and offered her
the whole loaf. He said he would
ask Tessa for divorce.
Tcssa would not divorce him
She would say she would. and then
she would say she wouldn't.
So IT had gone these last two
years. with Tessa holding Kate UP

The point was he couldn't have

LESS LOVELY
Then Tessa had made that re-
mark, and he had looked briefly a.
Kate. deciding she was not nearly
so pretty as TeSsa. and letting his
glance slide past her.
Tessa had said, in small, furi
Gus voice:
You don't have 10 stare back

That was unfair, and il annoyed
him. After that he had really

she isn't so pretty as Tessa. but

He began TO wonder if she really

He tried TO catch her eye. Their

beat a little faster A woman with
eyes like that didn't have to be
pretty.
He asked her IN dance. She

He heard himself agreeing. Then
she began 10 hum very softly, and
they did not talk.

He heard the sound OF weeping.
He stared al Tessa's family. They
were all arrayed in black and wip-

He had wired them that Tessa
