HONGKONG TELEGRAPH

February 22, 1940.

Lovely Mary Haines, a happy wife and devoted mother is a member of New York's wealthy "gossip" sot. One day, Sylvla Fowler an ace-meddler, finds that Mary's husband Stephen Is "romancing" Crystal Allen, a pretty salesgirl. Then Mary learns of it but for her child's sake, she takes her mother's advice, says nothing to Stephen and goes to Bermuda. On her return she encounters Crystal at a fashion show. They quarrel and Edith, Sylvia's friend, gives the details to a gossip columnist. The publicity breaks and as a result of it and the ad- vice of her poison-tongued friends, Mary quarrels with Stephen and takes a train to Reno.

Miriam glared at her. "I made foward pay for what he wants. You made him pay for what he doesn't want."

"You Althy little tramp."

"Don't start calling names, you Park Avenue punk. I know more dirty words than you do."
