9 I A Traitor Wife I I I By fly CYNTHIA GREY Last Y year ar a summer r widow came to the r resort re resort sort SOTt wh ahe e I was waft spending my vacation A pretty fluffy thing she was with loads lods o of ot pretty fluffy clothes She wasted no time fitting on the verandas veranda 5 with the rocking chair sil sisterhood that plays bridge e and knits sweaters s B Rather she was as on the go every minute wit with the flappers and the summer heroes Every no now no and then I would catch a a. fleeting glimpse of he her herin r rin in a bathing bathing- suit or tennis tennI dress dreS rushing to kec keep some or other In the evenings when dinner was over sh she S would dance with the other young oung things of dancIng dancing dane ing age Two or three of ot the men at the hotel bote I seemed to be Infatuated with her There Is no doubt doub t that she fhe petted with them At any rate I came upon her one nl night ht on tb the P beach bench cuddled up in the arms of or one of ot the married married mar mar- ried ned men And there were stories leg about similar petting S parties In which the little summer widow figured L.
