“the papers will all play up the angle of Benton's two divorces; and we can’t soft-peddle anything Cynthia and Benton may choose to give out, or the gossip of their ‘friends. But we may save you some annoyance.” : Together they devised a brief, dignified paragraph: “Mrs. Mary Cantrell, of the Breckenridge Apartments, announces—"; and Barney made copies for all the city papers.

HE glanced at the paper—a copy of the Bulletin, the most - sensational of the morning sheets.| | ©. . . It was all there in glaring headlines, with pictures of Cynthia -and Timothy Benton. “You know what I mean,” Lance said through tight lipe. “She doesn’t care a thing for that roughneck—not even so much as she did for Barney McKnight.” _ “Lance,” Janet said, nettled as she always was by criticism of Cynthia, “I don’t like you to speak ti+t way about my cousin.
