Of course he never knew what real love was—until he met Smokey Eyes and now what do you think, the deceitful thing isn’t going to divorce his wife at ail and it looks now as if he never intended to di vorce her. But—what about Smokey Eyes? And she sued her Handsome Darling for one hundred thousand dollars for breach of promise. And several thousand gentlemen who have imagined that they were perfectly safe as long as they were married are having rather trouble some dreams Just now. Smokey Eyes just hates to think of what her Handsome Darling's wife said when she heard about the breach of promise suit. Espe cially as it was whispered that Handsome Darling's wife laughed just a little bit at the things her husband said. Oh. Smokey Eyes, how could you —why you are putting an axe' to the very root of the existence of women like you. Men have been so nice and comfy up to now about you and your kind.
