"Thanl { 'ou for the comllllmpnt , "
Eva reillied. " 1 might ue temllted to
try it If I really though I could sell
them. The fact Is , " she continued ,
"Ileollie are too willing to lhlten to a
hit of scandal , are too anxious to find
out something detrimental to their
friends , and wlJl uelie\'o un ' I\lnd of

"We-H , there are truths stranger

With some stammering and beltat- :
