CHAPTER IH
"You Never Loved Alvin!"
f A LICIA RAMSEY had been Nnney'a
friend. Therefore, Nnncy found it
j,hnrd to nccrpt Alicia's part in the
rather sordid ni
fair. How could it
mean onotiRh to
any woman, this
desire to be in n
' ninn's a f m s, to
make her forget
everything else?
Nancy could not
understand thin.
Could Alicia be in
love with Alvin'
That vrnn n possi

Nancy could not

A 1 i r I n knowing
that Alvin belonged

pride.
After her wene vitli Alvin, Alici.i
herself came to Nanr .
She was lilnnil nnd cool and vein
Ingly remote from man's iuwmi ns wol1

"Nancy." lie said evenly, ' don't
make a fool of joursclf !"
, And Nancy flatm-d then like n little
.tiger. She might have been kind If
Alicia had come to her in a penitent
mood, but tla had not expected an thing
like this.
"Do you u.int to hronk Minr own
heart an well n Alvin'"''" Alicia asked,
cuttingl).
"My heirt Itn't ltroken." Nnnc
paid contemptuously. "It would take
more than that to brenk it."
"Oh. no it wouldn't." Alirin aid
coolly, "and if your heart isn't broken
your faith nnd tnjit are gone, and
jou'iv planning to have nothing inure

"Then you don't love Alvin'" Nnn

"Certainly not, but I'm in love with
love, nnd one enn closo one's ejes and
imagine nny man. Alvin happened to
be the man. Junt then, Mint's all."
"Oh !" Nancy's slim lmiuls went out
In n gesture of disbelief. "I didn't

And jet onl the night brfon she had

was dependent for luxuries nnd com

With the new conception of woman

that the one nnd onl.v way of keeping

Next to that is the one, with variation-,
of the wife tensing her liu-hnnd for

all countries, and in all cla-sses of so

amiably or disagreinbly relates some in

Human nature is the same as it was
In Rome, Kg.vpt oi Athens thoiixnnds of

Teaching the oung girls who nre com
ing on into the problems of the worid
that men are to be "worked." nnd that
underhand methods nre successful, nnd
thnt the end justifies the means, is nn
immoral task, surely!
"Hut," the ntniable, successful wives
will object. "ou put it so harshly. We

Doubtless, wives who think to tell then

Hut for heaven's sake, don't cajole the
