Russ Van Hosen was late but feel
ing good, with the check from an
other car sale tucked In his pocket.
He walked in at the back door. Pat
was stirring something at the cup
board. She heard him, but didn't
glance around.
Russ squeezed her shoulders and
kissed her, then waited hopefully.
Pat didn't respond. After a minute
Russ turned away and walked on
into the living room. So Pat was
still sore. Well, one thing was cer
tain: the next peace move would
have to come from her.
He sat down and reached for the
sport page. Golf was opening at the
Wyaconda Sunday. Well, they prob
ably wouldn't go now; they probab
ly wouldn't go anywhere. Lately, it
seemed, they’d been quarreling all
the time.
It had begun this tim e as usual,
with a quick sizzling flash cf Pat’s
Irish temper. One of those brief
flash-ups which usually ended with
little damage done. Only this one
hadn’t ended yet; it was still drag
ging on. Well, let it drag!
Maybe by the time it was over
Pat would have learned to keep that
streak of fighting Irish temper
down.
Pat came in from the kitchen.
“ Russ Van Hosen,” she said
sharply, “ put that paper down!”
“ A ll right.” Russ knew what Pat
wanted — to carry on from where
they stopped last night.
" I want to know,” Pat said tight
ly, "ju st why you left the party with
that Gertie Hale last nig h t!”
Russ' jaw grew stubborn. “ I told
you: I went out to start her car,
that's a ll.”
“ It certainly took you a good long
time , . . Where was her husband
—why didn't she have him start it?”
“ I don’t know — he was some
where around, I guess. Anyway, I
had sold her the car.”
“ Yes,” Pat said, “ two years ago
—before I'd even met you. . . . Russ,
are you getting a little tired of me?”
Russ groaned. Pat knew better,
of course. A ll she wanted was a
row. Maybe he had spent too much
time with Gertie, but what of it?
What about Hal K irk last week?
Pat had asked him to stop over and
see her on his way in to Chicago.
Talk about old pals!
"W ell?” Pat insisted.
Russ turned back to his paper.
" I ’ve said all I have to say.”
Pat started to speak again, then
stopped. Over the paper Russ saw
her face tighten. "A ll right,” she
said quietly.
Russ watched her walk across
the room and begin to climb the
stairs. He listened, and after a mo
ment he could hear her moving
about in their bedroom above. Do
ing what? he wondered. After ten
minutes he went to the foot of the
stairs and called.
“ P a t!” No answer. “ P at!” he
called again.
Pat was coming down the stair-
w’ay; she had on her hat and coat.
She carried her bag in her hand.
“ Pat,” Russ demanded, "where
are you going?"
“ W hy," Pat answered coldly,
“ should you care?”
Russ studied her face. She was
bluffing, of course; threatening to
leave. Well, two could bluff. "That’s
right,” he said, “ why should I?”
I
" I'm going back to work for Hal.
if you want to know.”
A little stab went through Russ'
I heart. "Sim ply because of Gertie
Hale?"
"Not entirely. . . , Russ, we sim
ply can’t go on fighting all the
tim e.”
“ You know,” Russ said evenly,
“ I've been thinking that same
thing."
Pat's lips whitened again. "So
that's settled. . . . I'll need some
money," she said.
Russ took out his billfold. It held
three fives and a ten. He offered
her the bills. Without looking at
them Pat shook her head.
"That's not enough." she said.
" I'm taking the next plane at the
airport."
Russ was sure now that she was
stalling, giving him a gtiance to beg
Russ swallowed against the pain
ful aching in his throat. What a fool!
To think their little spats had m at
tered — as if every couple didn't
have them during their first year.
. , . Maybe even now, if he should
call the airport—
The clock struck ten. booming
through the awful emptiness of the
house. Russ grabbed the phone; the
plane left at tea. Feverishly he
dialed the number. "Airport? . . .
Listen, has the plane — It's gone?"
The silence of the house beat
against his ears. He couldn't stand
it here; he had to get out, do some
thing. Russ started for the front
door, then remembered it was rain
ing His raincoat was in the closet
off the kitchen door.
The closet was dark; his search
ing arm knocked down a package,
a long package that clinked as it

Shoes Require Special
Care in Wet Weather
Shoes often suffer from wet
weather. Once soaked they may
never look as well or fit as com
fortably unless they are properly i
dried and cared for.
Extension clothing specialists say j
that wet shoes should be taken off as
soon as possible. Leather is weak
when it ’s wet. Wearing wet shoes
may pull them out of shape and
cause breaks and other damage.
Wet shoes should be stuffed with
soft paper or absorbent cotton to
take up moisture. Never use tension
shoe trees because they may stretch
the leather out of shape Instead of .
drying the outside of shoes by !
rubbing, which may roughen the j
leather, pat with a soft cloth. When I
the inside moisture is absorbed, re
move the stuffing and let the shoes
dry slowly away from the heat Fast
drying with heat makes leather
shrink, harden or crack
As the shoes dry, clean them with
saddle soap.¿Follow this with a little
sulfonated castor oil rubbed in by
hand. This treatment keeps leather
soft and pliable. Work or play shoes
that do not need polishing may be
softened and made to resist mois
ture by rubbing them with beeswax,
tallow, wool grease or petroleum
jelly. Well-oiled shoes not only turn
off moisture but also last longer.
Outdoor work or children’s shoes
may be softened after getting wet |
by rubbing them with warm — not
hot — neat’ s foot oil, castor oil or
tallow.
Leather soles can be made mois-1
ture resistant by setting the shoes
in a pan of just enough warm oil to
cover the soles. Let them stand in
this 15 minutes, taking care not to
get the heels in the oil, for oil rots
