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 bet I dol" Henry said.

"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

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.

sweater.
Glamor For Henry

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

seriously: "Marie knows a lot ol

"And it's up to us." said Henry,
"to show her we've got no hay

"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.

FATEFUL COMMA
A misplaced comma makes it technically illegal to sleep in a North Dakota hotel. A
state act of 1929 reads: "No hotel, restaurant, dining room or kitchen shall be used as a
sleeping . . . room by any employee or other person." A special commission had to remore
the comma after hotel. It will soon be "legal" to sleep in hotels again!
