Miss Standring’s husband—a poor
artiat or something. But excited
whispers grew in volume, as other
paseengers speculated upon the
breaking-up of that other so much
more desirable marriage to the rich
young man in New York.
Sharlene was quite unconscious
of the excitement she caused. She
had grown so accustomed to being
stared at, that it no longer discon-
certed her. Not even the lately de-
plored newspaper publicity waa in
ner mind now. She sank down in
the deck chair and Stuart wrapped
her robe about her feet. The wind
was chill, in spite of the sunshine.

“Yea. I’ve got hold of myself....
I’ve been perfectly rotten to you.”
