For weeks Molly avoided Bob and Red. She changed her mind about sub-letting the apartment, and tuk- ing a place in the country. She even changed her mind about being a hermit. She would be a man-bater instead. She'd treat them like the dirt beneath her feet. She'd make} them pay and pay for all the mis- ery they caused women.

She devoted her days largely to ittle Rita. And her evenings to a round af gaiety. She met now men. She went to night clubs, and dances, and to the theatre.

Sometimes she thought of the anthology of tragic love she meant to compile. She read a great deal. of verse, and copied the mournful fragments that pleased. her:

Then she had another ides. Shei would gather the tragic tales of the world's great lovers Isolde and Tristram Dante and Beatrice... Paula and Francesca--Antony and Cleopatra Abelard and Heloise- why, they were all tragedies! And she would write of them tenderly! and understandingly. For the ex- quisite delight and pain of all women who had loved and lost.

She went to the library, and came teme with her arms full of books, And that evening, while she was reading them, Red came, unan- nounced, to call.
