Being the Adventures of a Girl Mrs. By Wanda von Kettler Monday rolled around as Mondays eee eet wee oe OT ae to make my seo ond visit to the very serious lawyer on the 14th floor of the Smith buliding.

And something sbout her glance gave me the idea she'd either been hearing ys about me, or else just had 2» natural suspicion that I ‘was sub-normally inclined. 1 was permitted then to ente; “ealm where this six-footed, a sger-than-the-average-nize, d spectacied lawyer sat in state with the bear coat pulled well up over his ears, and the lawful reasons for divorce written out on @ pad before him. He showed no signs of suppressed joy that I had come He didn't seem to appreciate that he was the only lawyer out of the assortment to whom I made a second visit. as not, he'll take it all for granted. \ eee Today the man merely adjusted himself straighter in his swivel chair and glared. “You still want @ divorce?” he be- gan, and added encouragingly, “Well, I've looked up the law and you haven't much chance.” I was terribly pleased with that kind of & beginning—it reminded me so much of the little friendship chat we had had in his office two days before. “But,” I objected, “I must have @ divorce—Casper won't let*me go out a# much as I lke, and I simply won't stay home.” “Huh,” Aaid the man, “you told me he never struck you, didn’t you? And you said he didn't swdar at you —and he always supported you—. I don't see——.” “But I tell you,” I insisted, “we @on’t get along. He tries to make me stay home.
