CHAPTER XX. I
After an the vW'eHd to be
'home. They went at once to tie
(bungalow and Ken was all lor
rushing oat and engaging -Emma
Schmidt, the niece of old Her
man, to put the place In order.' 1
But Ere wjuld not bear the
thought of even a maid snaring
their firtt tew days here. Be
sides, as she told Ken. she wbnld
mare plenty of time and she lik
ed housework and It would be
fun to make her own' arrange
ments. He submitted finally, though
With some grumbling, maintain
ing that everything should be ex
actly aa she wished always.
Nevertheless when he found
her next morning gathering up
ragged piles of correspondence,
notes, catalogues, eren contracts,
trom tables and chairs In the liv
ing room, and digging out a stack
of unfinished sketches from be
neath the divan, he looked dis
mayed. "What's the use of doing all
that" he asked, and surprise
sharpened his voice. "Nobody's
fussy around here." -
Eve had been toiling nearly
three hours; she had skinned her
knuckles and braised her knees;
and dust had got into her . eyes
and, -tut her throat zrd she coald
hake eat a smudge-by. looking
down her nose. : t
. She was tired and her head
ached and romance seemed dim
and . far away " at this moment
when Ken stood there peering
about-, scowling at Che disorder
ene . had struggled . with so gal
Isntly it was too much; she sank
down on the rng, put her arms
on her knees and her head on her
arms.
"Oh, Ken," she sobbed. "You
don't love me! I know this that
you dont love me any more "
Ken listened in stunned sil
ence; only when his wife's sobs
grew hysterical did he gather her
in his arms, making frantic de
nial of whatever charges stood
against him, though arhat these
might be was not at all clear.
"But what have I done, sweet
heart? What have I said? Only
that nobody fussed around here.
T-there, now, yryou're s-say-Ing
that a-again! Y-you'd not
want me to l-live In such a t-ter
ribly dirty p-place if y-you Mov
ed me "
"But sweetheart, I don't quite
see ." Lifting his head with
harrassed look, the boy slid two
fingers into the front of his col-
far and gave it a Jerk that sent
the button shooting across the
room. "Of course, I love you!
adore everything about 'you!"
It seemed to be the right note
for she quieted and he kissed the
iipudge on her nose, kissed her
dust-grimed fingers one at a
time'; gathered them up and kiss
ed them alt at once. And finally
her sobs ftftned into shivers and
the shivers into gulps and then
He was. merely tearful.
"Ken," she told him at last.
MI just can't stand such disorder.
Even If they don't fuss, folks

ran't stand it. I'm afraid you'll
not like this, Ken, that I'm a llt-

Went and got herself all tired
that's what's the matter. And
now Ken's going to boil her up a
nice mess of coffee with maybe a
dash of you-know-what to give It
It was 'the first of the adjust
ments) each other's alien stand
ards they always seemed to be
making. Sometimes It would be
Ken who would apologise adject
edly for he did not know what In
order to bring his wife out of the
terrified conviction that he no
longer loved her.
But usually It was Ere who
trampled her husoand's long es-
tabiished manners and customs
and who felt herself bound to
make him. understand how inno
cent was her Intent and how pro
found her regret. .
And after a time Eve began to
look very carefully before she
took a step, anxious to save
wounded feeliags. And she learn
ed also to keep silence when her
own elbows were Joggled. Ken
meant so well and was so
thoughtless boyishly; exuber
antly .'thoughtless big kid that
he was. She wondered it all wires
didn't have to mother their hus
bands a bit?
One by one she gave up a great
many of the notions she always
had considered dyed in the wool
of her character. Spick and span
apple-pie order In her home was
about the first to go for she soon
saw that what was considered
good housekeeping in Lakeview,
Connecticut, would be impossible
in The Lane.
For one thing Ken was always
upsetting ash trays and fie look
ed so stricken the first time she
ran for the broom that when next
it happened she "merely kicked
the spilled cigarette ends- under
the table and crep in to clear
them away later, sneaking a bit
so he would not see.
Another cause of trouble was
a nonchalant untidiness of the
tribe, some of whom always5 were
dropping in. They would put their
feet on chairs, rest their cigar
ettes on the edge of the piano till
the varnish scorched with a hor
rible odor, trace rings on nicely
polished table tops with their wet
glasses and act as if the house
were a club room.
Eve pretended she did not
mind. She did mind, dreadfully.
but she was not going to let Ken
know this. .
"Play the game," she kept tell
ing herself, using the tribe's fa
miliar phrase. "Do this for Ken
because I love Ken; learn all
the rules play the game.
But it was hard to see ashes
ground into the really beautiful
rugs without wincing; many times
after Ken was asleep Eve would
go about downstairs with her
brush and dust-pan and oiled
polishing 'cloth, trying to repair
the ravages of The Lane s socia
bility. It was not all adjustment, how
ever, this life of the Wilmer's.
