"Trouble with your husband!"
"That's my business."
"Pardon." He flicked hla ash.
He waited for her retort. Silence
compelled him to continue. ,
"After all, Santa, my queatlon
wasn't impertinent. You're been
creating the false Impreaalon that
I've wronged you,"
To hla alarm big tear rolled
down her cheek. She .brushed It
way perfunctorily.
"I'm aihamed. I've treated you
rottenly."
"Of courae you hare."
weariness overcame her. She
placed her handa before her eyes.
"I've got to contest. My marriage
ill a flop." '
What he had heard and what he
bad conjectured pieced themaelrea
together.
I "Is there anything I can do?"
ihe whlapered huskily.
I She shook her bead.
: "I can't bear that you ahould
think harshly of me."
I "What have you to tell met"
; "About Dicky. Why I took him.
1 couldn't bear-to hurt him. Instead
of being Jealous at the way we
parted, he was sorry. I'll never for
get the way he dried my tears.
.You wouldn't have done that. It
seemed such treachery to deceive
film. I asked his advice." .
"Good heavens! About what?"
"Breaking my engagement and
following you to Europe."
"You precious Innocent! Let'a
get this straight. You aiked his ad
vice as to whether yon ought to
chuck him?"
"Sounda crasy, doesn't It?"
"And ie aald that It waa your
duty to stick to him?"
"He dldn'L He pointed to all his
rwn disadvantages. Argued for you."
"The smooth guy." Cllve laughed.
"After that," she urged, "I
couldn't write you. Could I?"
"But why tell me?" He waa cruel
ly aware of her proximity.
"I want you to forgive me."
Cllve tried . to Ignore her. He
glanced at the clock and rose.
"You're married to a smart man."
"Sit down." She seized his hand.
"Dicky Isn't smart He's always at
toe to lend him money. When 1 re
fuse, he tells me I don't trust him."
"Don't forget that you're confiding
to a man who lovea you."
"Do your' Then dodging the
answer, "Dicky's so dear, for all
bis badnesa. He tippled before I
married him. Every time we quarrel
be drinks harder. What I'm afraid

Suddenly a thought made Cllve
ee red.
: "It I were to hear that he'd laid
finger on you," he threatened.
; In the hall they atood staring at
each other. When would they meet
gain, If ever?
1 She drifted nearer.
"You loor kid!" He took her In
jtls arms. "You're aate now, little
Santa."
I That brought her to her senses
I "Darling. I owed you this; but I'm
jot good for you."
She puabed him toward the door,
'locked It behind him, turned out
Jthe hall lights and tiptoed op to bed.
The moment she waa alone her
'mood changed. She waa a fine one
ito accuse Dicky, who took a drink
too many when ahe'd made him
nsry; wbereaa she, the puritan,
flung beraelt Into the arms of any
old lover. Through a night of toss
Ing ahe recalled the bright spots

ahe waa the alnner.

SCHOOL LEADER
New membere for the leadership
raining group, selected from the fifth
and sixth grade of the Washington.
Lincoln, Roosevelt and Jack eon
schools, have been announced by Mtss
Carln Degermark, supervisor of physi
cal education.
These atudenta meet once a week
with Miss Degermerk and assist with
the leadership on the playground.
Selected for this all weeks from
the Roosevelt school are Josephine
Mead. Josephine Bullls, Edith Drooks,
and Audrey Fletcher. Prom the Lin
coln, Mary Wooldrldge. Violet Mills,
IVeda Hopkins and Ruth Welden:
(torn tije Jaoksop, -Svelya Hryood,
"Only that becoming a wife Is al
waya a business. Such readjust
ments." "Curtailments," Santa helped her.
"Exactly."
That afternoon, without further
palaver, Santa boarded tbe Chicago
Limited. It waa a clear, cold morn
ing wben ahe arrived. Losing no
time she drove straight to her apart'
ment. As she waa paying ber fare,
aomeone Jostled ber, scrambling
Into tbe taxi which ahe bad barely
vacated.
"Gee It's bitter I 'xcuae me dearie."
Santa gained a glimpse of a alight
girl, commonly pretty, eyea Im
mensely blue, a wealth of flaxen
hair. The detail ahe remembered
was that the Jostlcr wore a polo
coat of tbe same model aa one that
ahe herself possessed.
Having closed her door and
listened, ahe tiptoed to the kitchen.
Not a sign of Ann. The apartment
had an odd atmosphere of neglect
unventllated, und listed. tDo dining
room rat. atrewn with unwashed
platea her cholcvjt which bad coat
from two to tbree hundred dollars a
a dozen. It looked aa If Dicky bad
thrown a party to hoodlums and
then decamped.
There remained only one room to
explore. The bed bad been alept
In; tbe clothes were tossed aside.
Here, as everywhere, were mounds
of cigarette stumps.
She was despairing, wben a sound
attracted ber. She peered Into the
bathroom.
"Hello, Dicky!"
"Dash It all, Santa! I'd have cut
my lip off It this razor hadn't been
a safety."
She hovered on the threshold, re
pentant, lovely.
"You're glad to aee me. Dicky?"
"If you want the truth, I thought
you'd gone for good."
"Would It bare been for good,
Dicky?" .
"For the lore of Mike give a fel
low a chancel Can't you see what
I'm doing?"
Hie reflection gazed at her from
the mirror. He atood framed In the
entrance to the bathroom scrubbing
bis face with a towel.
'What have you been doing with
out me, Dicky?"
'Camping. What did you expect?
I couldn't keep a maid when I was
alone. Let ber go to avoid a scan
dal."
'I never thought of that," ahe
said humbly.''
Well, think of It next time and
oblige me." He disappeared.
So there was going to be a next
timet She drew a algh of relief. She
could act naturally now that ahe
waa aure ahe would share this room.
Approaching the dressing-table,
he applied some tonlo to hla hair
Not till he waa knotting hla cravat
did he again acknowledge her.
She glanced up palely, like a child
who had been slapped.
"May L Dicky?"
"Cut out that Dicky stuff."
She rose to face him.
"I'm lorry."
"A man doesn't like to be made
a fool."
'0, please want me, Dicky the
way you did when J waa new."
At the eight of her teara. he melt
ed.
'There There, little girl! We
won't mention 1L It'a over."
'But I must," she pleaded, "to
etart thlnga straight"
"What'a that?" He atlffoned.
You've not been off with a man?"
She shook ber head, weeping
buckets.
'It'a about Cllve."
'Cllve, by golly I The last you
told me he was In Europe."
I thought be was; but my first
night home he waa dining with my
paronta."
"That wont wash. Santa. To aee
Cllve waa why you left me."
"But listen, Dicky," she Implored.
I'm truthful. You don't need to use
these third degree methods "
Stifled at times by aobblng, she
blundered out her confession.
'And ao I waa unhappy for him.
I'd been a wretch to him. And he
waa unhappy for me, too, 1 guess.
Mummy and Daddy had made It
fairly obvious that they iuspected
I hadn t bolted borne for nothlnx.
They shouldn't have left ua alone
though that waa chiefly my fault
it happened at parting. I've got to
be honest; I folt 1 owed It tr-olm."
"So that was all!" He smiled. "A
kiss more or leea In a lifetime
doesn't matter."
'You don't mind?"
'Of course 1 mind," he spurred
hla antagonism; "but no bones are
broken."
"You're aweet auch a dear, for
giving husband."
'How about breakfast?" Ho freed
himself.

As federated clubs are strictly non
partisan snd noa-aectarlan no politi
cal comments were made, but the
speaker aald that this would he the
last national political campaign In
which speakers are sent out over the
nation by the various parties, since
the entrance of the presidential can
didates Into the speaking campaigns
and the presence of the radio In
every home, bringing the messages
directly to the listeners without ef
fort on their part, would eliminate
the practice of many old customs.
