With Infuriating calm Mabel patted her on the back. “Don't get excited, Mrs. Wes- iton,” she admonished, in her best professional manner. “What's the dirt, 8ib?” “Oh, Val has found herself a lover. And she's written Dolly t she is .going to elope With im.” . “And Y come and tell you, be- mn I think I OUGHT—and you t me like a burglar!” Hysterically Dolly turned on them. “As Valerie's best friend I ‘ecome to you — to ask you to save her from herself.

If she and Tad ‘can’t hit it off, let them get a di- vorce. There's nothing wrong about that. But if Val elofis with this man, she might as well cut off her ¥ight hand. “I know Val.

Social ostracism would hurt her worse than amputation. “I tell you, Sib, it would be sui- | cidal for Val to do this thing. She'd be eating her heart out in a monti. You know how people would turn their backs on her — she wouldn't have a friend left. And that would kill Val. I know it would.” “Well,” 8ybil was grim. “That would help.” “Oh, Sib,” Mabel interrupted sagely, “after all, Val and Tad are about as compatible as a stray dog ‘{and an alley cat.

Tad will be a darn sight better off.” “How about your mother?” “She'ill have to face it — that's all.” “But you haven't any right to make Tad's decisions for him. He wouldn't want to_lose Valerie this way. It's an awful blow to a mfm's pride to have his wife walk out on him, and off with another man.” “Don’t you worry about Tad.” “But, §ib, I'm thinking about YOU.

That's about all, wasn't it, Dolly?" “But does she say when she's planning to go away?" “She's going to wait for a wire from Dolly.
