Later Dick lets the mald go, because he can't afford to keep one, Gloria has swamped him with debts for her clothes and a new automobile. She becomes Infatuated with Stanley Wayburn, an actor. He and Glorla with May Seymour and Jim Carewe, make a jolly foursome, Dick has pneumonia and almost dies. When he recovers, Dr. John Seymour, husband of the flighty May, sends him away for a long rest. Gloria refuses to go.along, be- cause Dick's mother, whom she hates, s going. Wayburn leaves town to take a job on the New York stage. After two lonely weeks, Gloria follows him. But he spurns her, telling her he has just married his leading woman. Then Gloria tries to get a place as a chorus girl, but falls. When she comes home takes her into the house, but not as his wife, One night while he is work- ing late with his secretary, Susan Briggs, the hoyse is robbed. Next morning Gloria goes to Mother Gregory to complain that Dick left her alone half the night while he vas out with Miss Briggs. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “I don't believe for a single sec- ond that Dick was out half the night with Sue Briggs or any other woman!" Mother Gregory said with spirit. “I'd have to see that with my own eyves to balieve it!" “Well, then, where was he until two or three o'clock last night?— No place where he had any business to be!” Gloria eried. “He certainly wasn't working until then! Don't try to tell me that!"” | Mother Gregory's fine black eyes flashed me a chance to agk him anything 6he answered. “He sneaked a this morning before I woke up. ‘My poor child,” Mother Greg- ory's vocie was soft with sudden pity, “Can’t you trust your husband out of your sight?

Lola Hough came out of Dr. John's little office back of the din- ing-room.
