A sincerely-told story fashioned mto excellent entertfilri- ment, it centres around a selfish, mer-r cenary woman who has married a man, young md wealthy; for whom-she ,has no love. By the time he realises this, his wifj has firmly entrenched herself in thefaffections ,of 'his unsuspecting parents; When, having fallen, in love with a [young widow, he asks his wife for his freedom, she refuses; having no intention -of giving up her secure posi­ tion and her-prospects.
