Jfs all too pood to 6e true to Luella een thouoh Marie Mat on. the oiri who eet Henry aside for radio joe in Kew York, is pretty eloie for eomfort But hasnf Henry prom iffd to love and cherish, Luella asks herssl ... and isn't that enough? Chapter Four Big Plant "AND just as toon at we get - settled," said Henry, "I want to mow people that toe cooa old Southern hospitality in't lust a legend. My bou tayt contact! mean a lot to a Dusinest man in New York. We've got to entertain have folks up make them like us. Be charming, all that tort of thing." "But you didn't havt to do that down nome, L,ueiia reminaea. "Not that vou weren't charming, darling but I mean people did business with you whether you entertained them or not "Sure, I know that But com Detition it keener up here. A fel low has to pull strings. We've got to circulate among the right peo ple. Luella mix with the Who's who crowd step out. Invite and get invited.' "An other case of keeping up with the Joneses, x suppose. "Not exactly. I don't mean that we ve got to live oeyona my in come nothing like that. "Yes. my Lord and Master.' said Luella. But away down deep the was afraid, wondering if she, with her smalltown background and old-fashioned ideas about things in general, would ever fit in with the Who's Who folks. "I haven't forgotten that I took you for better or worser, so you can count on me. You know that, don't you, nenry? ' "You bet I dol" Henry said. "We'll look up a good negro wo man tor aimospnere as wen as lor working, and show folks that the reus biiu juiow now to uve grace-fully." "But how are you going to meet all these people?" Luella asked. "Or any people at all, for that matter?" 'The men at the office will tee to that.' Henrv answered. "Al. ready they are mentioning dinners and dances, and such-like. You'll meet their wives a little later on, and almost before you know it, you'U be an habitual hostess. After all, I am the man who put over some pretty big dealt in transferring North Carolina and Florida property, and that gives me a bit of prestige to start off with. "Yes, Henry. I know, but" "No buta, sweetl . . . You Just ee mat our new York nome is as beautiful as its mistress, and leave iu the rest to old Henry Fell." "Yes, Henry." two Henry's Newt THAT had been nearly weeks before. And now Luella and Henry were rapidly getting aettled in their new home. While Henry was busy getting the hang of things at the office, Luella was busy trying to set the hang of the curtains in the living room. Standing up on a step-ladder, the gave a last touch to the rich, old-rose brocade that had once hung in the parlor of the nouse down in the old hometown. Presently she got down from the ladder, and stood looking about her. The room was perfect! All the pieces of furniture which she adored were in place. The chest of drawers which had gone through the Civil War, and which her grandmother had left her, ttood between the two tall front windows, its rich deep red woodwork fairly shining. The brass candlesticks which Henry's great uncle had given them, stood upon it. In the dining-room end of the long, high-ceihnged room ttood the dining table which had been in Luella's family for a forgotten number of generations. Its glow ing surface seemed to be smiling upon the room, catching the gleam of the rose bowl which had been one of their wedding presents. "There's one thing certain," Henry had said, "we'll never be broke while we've got all these fine old museum pieces. Think what we could g ;t for them from one of those i nops over on Madison Avenue. "But, Henry," Luella had wailed, "we couldn't sell theml . . . Why, they are all intertwined with our lives, and the lives of our families." "Calm yourself, sweetheart," Henry had laughed. "We don't have to part with them. Now that your hubby is on the road tn be. coming an Important New York realty executive, we needn't wor ry about selling heirlooms. What we'll be worrying about is buy ing more stufl." Luella glanced at the time, and hurried out into the kitchenette. She had told Henry to come di rectly home from the office, as she would have an honest-to-goodness home-cooked meal ready for him. And as she moved about she was glad that her kitchen was some what roomier than most of those they had looked at in other apart ments. Some of those had been little more than a series of shal low shelves in a closet At least ui this one there was room for something besides t two-burner gas-plate. She made biscuits, talad put potatoes in the oven to bake; and got out the thick lamb chops. She wanted them ready to put on the grill the moment the heard Henry come in. She also set the table, using her choicest china and sil ver. Everything was ready by a lit tle before six. All she had to do was broil the chops. Henry came in one minute after six. "HI, there, where't my wo man? he called. "Out here in the kitchen being womanly!" Luella called back. Henry came striding out to join her. He caught her to him, hit cheek cool against her hot one. "Got news for you, honey!" he said. "Big news!" "A raise in salary so soon?" said Luella. "No. We've got a date! "No kidding?" Luella said free ing herself and turning to the ttove. "What tort of date?" "We re going to a broadcast." "Ohl" "Marie Mason, of all Deonle. telephoned me at the office, and said" "Teleuhoned you Marie? . . . How did she get your number?" one reaat the hometown pa pers, said Henry. "She read about our wedding, and what the article said about my work up here. All she had to do then was look up the lirm I'm with." "Oh, I tee," taid Luella. So Marie had been keeoina taba on Henry. She had even telephoned him during business hours, and "It was swell hearing her voiea again," Henry said. "She asked me u wed like to come to see her broadcast this evening, and when I said we would, she sent me over two tickets by special messenger." He took them from his pocket, held them up for Luella to see. "Yes. sir. we're steDoins out for a fact, Mrs. Pell!" "We . that can wait " M T n. ella. "The dinner can't Go get ready. Everything'U be stone cold." I'll take a aulrk shower and be right with you!" said Henry. ne nurriea on into me oearoom. While he bathed. Luella hrnilMl the choos. Thev were on the iahla when Henry came in, wearing a pair of tennis slacks and an old sweater. Glamor For Henry MIND it I eat like this?" ht asked. "I dnn't want tn dress to go out just yet." "You look sweet said Luella. "Like a college boy. Sit down, and I'll serve vou. What time is the broadcast? Ten 0 clock." said Henrv. "Riil we have to be there at least ten minutes before, or we can't get in." He sank down into his chair. "Were dancing afterwards. Ma rie's bringing along a Mr. Mcln. tyre, a radio man, to make t fourth." Do I have to dress?" Luelli asked, as she put a chop and a po tato on Henry's plate. "Marie said she would wear th gown she broadcasts in, so yov might wear a simple dinner town or even the frock you wore up Here, Yes. sir." said Luella. "It look, as though the Pells were about to be launched. I only hope thej don't break champagne over out heads." Henry laughed. Thank God my darling's got a sense of hu mor," he said! And then, mors seriously: "Marie knows a lot ol important people, and ahe told me that when she realized that ) was something of a successful land broker she immediate! thought of several men who mighi mean a great deal to me. I call that being a real pal." Marie always was a generoui Irl," said Luella. "Mora buttei 'or your potato?" "Thanks." Henrv held out Mi Plate. "Listen, honev. vou dont sound terribly enthusiastic about seeing Marie. Or am I imaginini things?" Of course It 11 be fun seelnt her," said Luella. "You are imag ining things." "Boy, 1 could do with a little fun," Henry said. "So could you We've been working pretty hard these past few weeks. It's high time we relaxed a little, and got a glimpse of New York'a nlghl life." "How's vour choo?" said ella, changing the subject so sud denly that Henry grinned. feriect." ne said It ntlffht tn hl VT a ,.an Ihiam I had to pay enough for it." Well, let's not spoil it by dis cussing iu cost" said Henry. Ht put more butter on hia potato. I rom now on the Pells are coins to discusa Important things fat more important than the price ol a lamb chop. We'll leave that to the servants." "What servants?" "I mean when we eet them." said Henry. And went on: "To night we re the guests of radio s rising young star. Miss Maria Ma. son, from the old hometown. I'll oet she a a regular glamor girl by now." "No douM." said Luella. Sh always had the makings of one." "And it's up to us." said Henry, "to show her we've got no hay seed in our hair." "I suppose a girl like Marie has very little time to think about the price of a lamb chop " Henry gave his wife a quick look. "That's a funny thing to say," he remarked.
