It couldn’t even be said that he had flirted. He could waltz and play bridge and render himself agreeable at “afternoons” ard week-ends, but it stopped thare.

His Intimates of- ten wondered what would arouse his emotions, but they had waited in vain. On a certain afternoon Mr. Rexford left New York for Hartford. He was neither elated nor cast down. He didn’t care whether he went or stayed. He didn't care whether he went be- yond Fall River or got off there. Every chalr In the car was taken, but he didn’t care to size up his fellow- passengers.
