When Tom Ash worth and I'.nima
Treat's engagement was announced
everybody said "That'll be a case of
Mr. and Mrs. Devil." The remark didn't
mean that either of them had been con

meant that Tom was a man of the

times not emerging from any of her
betrothals with a dear record for hav
ing treated her fiance honorably. Not
that she thought she had treated him
dishonorably, it was simply that she
had no conscience in such matters.
One evening after she had become
engaged to Tom Ashworth and while
he was cnlling upon her she said:
"Tom, I have been told by my friends
that you have the worst record of any
man in society. I wonder if after all
I will be safe in marrying you."
"That's very singular."

it; then if after being married we hear
anything detrimental to each other
we'll know Just what it means."
