Dinner would be late but at least she would be presentable. Cherry told herself Dixie had been right. It was a mis take to stay at home working all day with no recreation later. That must ba why she bad felt so tired- and cross. Of course thsy had been trying to save, but they couldn't save all the time. It wasn't fair to them selves. She was dusting powder over her shoulders when Dan came. 'IHello," she called, slipping a neg ligee about her. "Dinner's late be cause Ive been cleaning house. It won t take long. I'll open a can of beans. Dan kissed her absent-mindedly. No hurry," he said. He tossed a newspaper Into one chair and drop ped his hat and coat in another. i .hwFy ,Bai(J, "doesn't averything look nice? fw been working aU day. "Sure. Everything's fine." She knew from the tone that Dan had not even heard her. Cherry was disappointed. She slipped a dress over her head and went to the kitchen to rummage for the can opener. It was the work of 15 minutes to boil potatoes, heat the can of baked beans, split a head of lettuce for salad and make tea. Canned peaches left from the night before served for dessert. "Everything's ready." she told Dan who was buried behind the pages of the newspaper. The meal began silently. Once or twice Cherry glanced at Dan to see if anything was wrong. She could not understand his mood. Presently she said. "We have an invitation for this evening." "Invitation?" Dan looked nn. "Dixie wants us to com nn nnrl play bridge. She's invited someone for a fourth. I tpld her we'd be glad to." cut, Uherry I Whv. I thousrht vou'd like to vtv We we never go any place, Dan. I'm tired of it work in all rim long and then just sitting around nere evenings. ' "You can go if yon want to. I'm not going." "Uani" "Well. I mean It. I suppose yon think I don't work all dav Ions? Maybe I don't get tired too. Bridge! If there's one thing in the world I don't want to do tonight it's to play bridge!" "Bu I've already accepted, Den! I told her we'd come." "Well, you can just tell her we won't. Tell her anything I don't care what you say!" "I'lease wont you ao it for mar "I'va told vou I'm not roini to play bridge tonight and I'm not! If you want to, go ahead. I'm not: topping you." I "I can't zo alone. You know that. Oh, Dan, I think you're feeing hor- ndr J ve slaved all day long ior you. 1 ve scniDDed ana swept and dusted until every muscle in my body aches! I'm sick of It and I want a uttie tun; Dan Phillips put down- his knife and fork. "Maybe you think I wouldn't like a little fun once in a while." he said. "Do you know why I can't have it? Because the rent's due next week. Because I've borrowed from everyone in the office until I cant raise another nickel and I'm ashamed to ask for it. Fun? Would it interest you to know that I turned down a poker game with the boys tonight to come nome and spend the evening with you? And, I did it because by working all eve-! ning maybe I can write a story! that will bring In some extra cash!"; The gfrl was subdued. "I I didn't understand," she said slowly. "Of coure 1 11 tell Dixie we won t be able to make it." The meal proceeded. It was not an appetising dinner and neither of them were in communicative mood. When thev had finished Cherry cleared the dishes away and went upstairs to make excuses to uixie. She returned to find Dan sitting before his battered typewriter, a stack of fresh copy paper at his side. As quietly as possible she went about the worn oi wanning ine dishes. She tiptoed whenever she crossed the floor. Now and then the tvnewriter keys rattled, followed frequently by a terrific banging that could mean only tnac tne wnier was "x-ing" out his previous work. An hour must have passed while she sat huddled fn he big chair pretending to read. The silences between periods of typing became Innirpf . Suddenly, with loud "Damn!" Pan jerked the paper from the ma chine. He jumped to his feet, toss fnr the crumnled sheet to the floor. Without another word he grubbed for his hat and coat and banged out of the apartment.
