Moreover, eh wa assured of it and this made her subsequent conduct all the more reprehensible. Hassardy wa not to blame, though he wa plainly ticketed by the other girl for observing Estelle's complexion and the fascinating tilt of her head when they all arrived at the house party. Hassardy wa only a mortal man after all. Estelle doubtless would have failed to notice that he was on earth except for the fact that she and Boh had had a little, quarrel on the way down. Bob plainly needed dis cipline and Hassardy providentially appeared at the opportune moment with admiration in his eyes. The other girl dawned on Estelle's consciousness later. The other girl was the sort that make a man remember all the heights he was going to scale when he was reading hi graduating essay and abashes him with a sense of his own unworthlness. She had big serious blue eyes under beautifully straight brow and a childish mouth that could droop heartrendlngly and her hair looked beautiful when merely parted and waved down over her ears with' out any rats or puffs. This alone would convince any other woman that she was Irresistible. After Estelle got a good look at the other girl she wondered why on earth Hassardy was such a goose as to glance at any one else. She also saw that the other girl, with all her charm, was one of the kind who la helpless In the hands of her own sex. She didn't in the least know how to fight back when a man was being snatched from her. If Estelle had not been so irri tated at Bob this might have in fluenced her, but at a certain point any girl will sacrifice any other girl ruthlessly to further her own ends And Bob most certainly had to be dis ALT ""MHAIS St LAM CITY, UTAH K fe ) The American Express 24 Hours to California Leave Salt Lake City daily at 3:00 p. m Arrive Lot Angrlet (next day) 2:30 p. a.
