Stanley is curious about 'Saret. At a bridge game he is much attracted to Margaret, but she is coldly indifferent to him. Mrs. Cutting comes to Margaret's room at night and tells her that Mrs. Cuyler Theos bald of New York, the former Shirley Wilson, and once Stan ley's flancee, is coming back to get a divorce. At the mention of Cuyler Theobald's name, Mar- garet turns pale. The ' family #0 to their ranch at Uplands, and Margaret, driving with Stanley tells him what she has about Shirley's coming. takes the news calmly. Margaret. at the farm, finds that her dis. like of Manley is being over- come. Margaret establishes her- self as a favorit: with the week-end guests at Upland.
