The three guests were gone. Henry and Luella were alone. A perfect evening!" laid Hen ry. "You were swell, honey. And what a grand dinner." "I'm glad you liked It," aald Luella a bit itiffly. Henry looked at her. "Any thing wrong, Luella?" he asked. Luella shook her head, and glanced about the room. "1 hope," aaid Henry, "you don't mind my not mentioning ike lunch with Mane." Nn Hmrv." Luella hesitated a moment. "Only well, it s just that I don't want you to (eel that vou have to meet Marie on the ly." "Ye gods and little flihes!" Henry cried. "I never thought of auch a thing. It's just that it slipped my mind lunching with Marie, I mean. 1 ran into her on the street, and that's the way it came about" "Yes, Henry, I understand," aald Luella. But aha didrft understand not at all. ... Had she run Into Marie on the street and lunched with her, it would have been the most natural thing in the world to tell Henry about it It should have been the most natural thing in the world fnr Honrv tn tell her about lunch- ins with Marie. But he hadn't told her and that was that. She began emptying ash-trays. "I think I'll turn in." Henry said. "I've got a big day before nMAwAn. 'K'tifM I n-1 1 a III wmuiiwnt "" ' honey." . "Good night, Henry," Luella irf "I'll he ininine vou as soon as I straighten up a little. It'a urn a deDressine sight to let up in the morning and find a lot of cigarette stuns ana smeuy glasses." Henry paused in the doorway, watching her. She was the perfect housewife type, he thought And he honest ly believed that emptying ash trays was of more importance to Luella than the fact that some day her husband might be out of the land selling business and going places in the world of radio. Fun ny things women darned funny. Presently he turned away. He went on Into the bedroom, and sot out his Daiamaa. Aa he prepared for bed he thought about the episode out on the extension root, manes up: asainst his own. Was it possible, he wondered, for a man to love his wife and another woman at one and the same time? Date With Tommy ON A Saturday afternoon two weeks after the Pell dinner party. Tommy Mclntyre tele' phoned Luella. "I've lot the afternoon and eve nine off," he said. "How about driving up to The Cloisters? I re member hearing you say you wanted to go up there sometime."

She began to hu finished her dressing. Tommy arrived on the dot, and not long afterwards they were driving up the steep incline to the parking lot beside the gray pile that was The Cloisters. But before going Inside they stepped to a stone wall and looked down at the river, far, far below. "I remember a piece my Aunt used to play oo the piano," said Luella. "It war called 'Moonlight On The Hudson.' And here I am looking at the Hudson River in the flesh, so to speak." "But without the moonlight said Tommy. "The sunlight does very nicely, though." said Luella. "But I bet it's lovely when the moon if shining." "It is. We'll drive up and see It some night this summer, if you'd like." "I would." And then they were In The Cloisters. They walked througn long gal leries, cazinr at tapestries, and commenting upon them. They sat for a moment before an altar in high, vaulted room. A ule-sizea crucifix hung from the ceiling, nd the afternoon sun, coming through a tall window, touched it with light giving it strange glow. iney sirouea aooui in a court, ard In which spring flowers were eginning to bloom.

I feel as though I were back in the Middle Ages right this minute!" Just Eelax PRESENTLY they went out Into the sun-light. The Bronx lay at their feet automobiles whizzed by far below, horns honked, and several planes circled around above them. And now." said Tommy, "let I hie ourselves up the river for some food. Hungry?" "Yes, said Luella, "i am. ine drive and this wonderful air has given me a terrific appetite." "Goodl" said Tommy, as they got into his roadster. "I like going out with people who have appe tites. I'm going to leave everything to you. said Luella. "It'll be nice not having to plan a meal- or MlnK aDout wnat im going u eat."

Tommy gave Luella a quick look, and then speeded up tht car. They found a roadhouse aeveral milea up the river, a place that was open all year around, and Tommy drove into the curving road which led to the wide, rustic porcn. "This looks like a nice place." he said. Yes," said Luella. "I like It Oh, my engagement book pages ire all blanks?' she said. "HI be iwfully glad to see you. Tommy.

"Go on and have your self a time, honey, since hubby'i too tied up to pay you much at tention. - "Thank you. Henrv." she had said. "1 ought to be home around ten." "Stay as late as you like," Hen ry urged. "I'll grab a bite to eal at a place near the office, and then go home to put some finish. Ing touches on one of the sonei I'm doing for Marie.

Of course she was glad to have him want het to enjoy herself, but she felt a little hurt over the tone of his voice; a tone that made him sound downright relieved. It was almost as though Henry was glad to have her awav from him for awhile. Maybe she was silly to think that about her husband, but she couidn t helo it Most men, she mused, wouldn't be so keen about having their more or lru recent wives steD- ping out with other men.
