He was thinking unusual thoughts for a bridegroom, There was one person who could have understood them—Dicky Dak. Dieky could have put bim wise: Dicky could have told him a lot. It takes a man who's Deen divorced from a woman to know the truth about her. It Santa had employed these high-handed methods with’ Dicky, he would have required to be a ‘worm to endure them. She seemed to think that a wedding ring was something you slipped through a husband’s nose. And yet here he was commftted to her plans*by the trick of inctuding ber parenté in her impromptu house-warming. As he stepped from the elevator, he saw the door down the passage gaily opened.

There isn’t a thing ‘wrong with the apartment; th . trouble is how to pay for it.” “But my lover,” teplied with angelic forbearance, “this is my present to you.” “Unfértunately,” he smiled, imt- tating her ity, “it isn't.
