LETTER FROM SYDNEY CARTON TO PAULA PERIER MY DEAR PAULA: Received your wire this morning, but I am*afraid I can do nothing for you. Of course I can under- stand that you want your baby very much, but you must also remember you voluntarily gave him away and you made no answer when the court asked for any relatives to ap- pear and say why he should not be adopted by Jack and Leslie. You probably know Jack better than I, but I know him in a differ- ent way and I know he has grown to love the boy very much. Be- sides, he knows it, would break Leslie's heart to give him up now. Once, my dear girl, you fought against Leslie for®Jack and lost, and I am(afraid you. ‘will lose again, even though both times.Leslie has been totally unconscious that any- one was battling against her. With the bulwarks of respectability and right thrown up in front of her she could not lose, You have grown to be a big woman, Paula. Big enough -to for- get this. Yon managed very well when you had to give up Jack's love. Is_your mother love stronger than your love was for him or do you still want to hurt him as he has hurt you? RAS It's a great problem, my dear, and I do not feel at all able to advise you, an old bachelor like me. But I am yery fond of you and of Jack, and respect and regard Leslie more than any other woman on this T Mrs,’ Wyman made the trip 'to and from Aberdeen by automobile, ‘and according to Mr. Wyman the rdads are as a general rule in first class egndition, only occasionally on the return. trip did he encounter any snow drifts.

I'm telling you some- thing I have never told anyone else, but I feel it true than John Alden Prescott got much’ more than “he deserved when he was given the love of Leslie Hamilton and she ‘be- came his wife. I'm rather sorry you are going to Albany. Although, like every other two people,\-who” think they have been able to’ keep their affairs from the world, you’must know that your affair with Jack before his marriage to Leslie. was common talk among the.men about town, as well as among the young society matrons whose” husbands, had confided in them the more or less true details. All these ,old stories will be re- vived. All the old scandal will get a fresh start. If Jack and Leslie go together to see your picture when you make your personal jappear- ance, everybody will say Jack is trying to bluff it out. If either of them go alone, the people will. say Jack was afraid to take Leslie to see the picture. If neither of them go near you, someone is sure to hazard the opinion that Jack and Leslie have quarreled over you and neither dare go. You can under no civeumstance stop the gossip you have started: I shall be much interested to know the outcome of it, all. Above all else T hope and pray nothing will be said or done to hurt Jack's wife, Leslie.
