"Now, Sally, please! Please) You've gone over all that a dozen times already. I know you don't approve of me, but you love me. and that's enough. Ken has every thing planned penectiy. it can't possibly go wrong. It's a new ad venture. And youll adore Ken." "I've heard that before, too. darling. I won't adore Ken. I don't even like him. He's a ladies' man with a flattering line and. he falls for every new face. I know his type exactly. They're always rich, too rich for their own good, and they always paint the right pictures. "But he's taking another man's wife. He's a thief. I have no use for him. But 111 put up with him, because you're in love with him." 'That's fine." Lita actueezed her arm. "And now bade to Jerry. Have you seen him since I've been gone? Have you talked to him? How Is he doing?" "He's getting along," said Sally as they walked along. "He has been giving Ruth Eustace a ter rific rush. I wouldn't be surprised if he married her.'.' THE words left Lita cold. When remarriage herself, that had been one thing; but for other people to think about it was something else. She didn't like the idea. It couldn't be that she was jealous. "Yes. She has everything, beau ty, wealth, social position. Any man would be crazy who didn't marry her if he could," continued Sally. "And everybody knows she is crazy about Jerry." "I guess you're right." Lita felt suddenly tired. "But he can't do anything for six months. He in sisted I agree the decree would not be final for six months before I could get my divorce." "Maybe he thought you'd change your mind." "No." Lita shook her head. "I think he thought lt would irritate Ken, knowing that he couldn't marry me, even if he wanted to. Jerry acted as if he hated Ken, but I can't imagine Jerry really hating anybody." "I'm afraid you don't know Jerry." Sally halted abruptly. "There he is in his new car. Isn't it a beauty? Ruth Eustace is with him." Lita looked out in the traffic. Jerry and Ruth. Just what she had planned. Now that she saw it, it made her perfectly furious. She didn't count anv mot. h was out of Jerry's life. And he had turned right away to another woman. He hadn't meant what he had said about caring. He wasn't hurt, even if he had pretended to be. Hurt! Loved her! Jerry hadn't known nvthlno about love, really, not a love like ners ana Ken's. "Let's get a taxi and so nn imr to Ken's hotel," Lita suggested abruptly. "I dont feel like look ing for new clothes." THEY hailed a taxi.

Last night she had Deen certain, with his kiss against her lips, but now she wasn't She wanted him to tell her again that this was the only thing to do. She had to see him. The taxi stopped. As she started to pay the driver, she taw a couple coming toward the hotel entrance. It was Ken and one of the most striking girls she had ever seen. A slim, straight, dark woman who walked with the haughty assur ance of a queen. Her suit was black, with a fur thrown about her shoulders. An arrogant black hat with a bright red feather was perched on her head. Both the strange girl and Ken were laugh ing, entirely oblivious of the pass ing crowd. Lita was sure Ken had not noticed her, waiting under the hotel canopy. They stopped by a gray coup parked at the curb. Ken opened the door for the girl. They talked a moment. Ken smiled. The girl had started the engine. Suddenly Ken pulled the door open and, leaning in, kissed the girl, then slammed the door and stood en the walk, smiling, ss the car eased into the traffic. Lita paid the taxi man and turned toward the hotel. "What's the matter, darling?" Sally was looking at her curiously. "You look as if you've seen a ghost." "Nothing," she tried to laugh, "except that the man who Just kissed the girl in that car goodby was Ken." "Ken!" She moved toward him. "Oh, Lita Ann." He said tha two words at once as he hurried toward her. "I hope I haven't kept you waiting." "No, we only came a moment ago. And I'm dreadfully curious'. I suppose the young lady was the business engagement' you had this morning." Her voice was cool. "Who was she?" "Haven't I told you about her, Honey? That was Janet Carstalra, a girl I used to be engaged to."
