Judy sank into a chair. "You might get me some lemon ade, Bastion," she said. "I'm parched-Oh, Bastien!"
Her voice had suddenly fallen to a whisper. As he stood over her, she noticed for the first time that there was something the matter with her friend. He was ghastly pale; the dark hair lay on his temples in wet rings. His eyes had He awayed to and a wild stare. fro on his feet, as he stood there; but he had control over his voice.
"Judy, what were you doing at Gideon's apartment this after- hoon?" he asked.
"I"
She stopped, and looked at him with a touch of offence,
"Oh, yes, you were there. I saw you come out!"
"Yes, I was there, Bastien; but how queer you are!' I was having tea with Mr. Gideon and his sister, Madame de Toros."
"You lic!" he said under his breath. "There was no other wo man there. You were along with

"What did Bastien say, Chum- my ?" she asked, when she had slammed the window down.
"I wasn't there.", her friend an- swered.

"Judy, darling, poor Bastien was drunk."
"He said Mr. Gideon was giving me money." Judy went on inexor able. "He told all the boys and girls that I had taken Mr, Gideon's fancy, and that he had paid for everything and brought me out at the Monopole."
"Judy, Bastien adores you," Chummy insisted. "He is jealous, and he was drunk."
"I know he was drunk," replied Judy! "but that was what he said, wasn't it?-that. Mr. Gideon had paid for everything that the Monopole is his theatre--that Mr. "You are a liar he went on, Wyon is only Mr. Gideon's man of bending over her, with his back to business. And Bastien said I lied

Husband "on Trial" Miss Laye and Mr. Hale were married in 1926. There were no children.
They lived happily until the beginning of 1928, when the hus band joined the cast in the revue
"This Year of Grice," in which Miss Jessure Matthews was also playing.
When Miss Laya went for a week-end to Manchester where the revue was having an opening run, she alleged that her husband and Miss Matthews were than friendly. They denied, how- ever, that they were in love with each other.
more
The husband it was alleged, afterwards admitted he had mis- conducted himself with Miss Matthews. On his promising to give her up Miss Laye took him back, and in August, 1928, they lived together in a flat at South Audley-street.
Mr. Hale, however, stayed only about a fortnight, and then was found to be associating with Miss Matthews.
净
Mr. W. O. Willis, for Miss Laye, submitted that the wife's act in taking her husband back did not amount to condonation. He had
and he really went back by a trick. "He gets his wife to allow him to come back," said Mr. Willis, and then tells people he is only there on trial."

There was a húbbub for a short time, and among the little crowd of friends there was immense surprise. It was so unlike Bastien! He was such a quiet fellow, and they knew that he adored Judy.
Many of the other people, how- ever, thought it rather a storm in a teacup. They knew it as a matter of common gossip that Bruce Gideon was "running", the little dancer. Dumont had drank too much, had got excited, and had made a fool of himself. Well, he would have a head in the morning, and would feel very sorry for him- self. Meanwhile, on with the dance!
