Chapter 11 Dale With Marie LUELLA Msrched Henry's face. "But don't worry about Tom my being alone with me," ahe said, "as if you would! Tommy'a in love with Marie, and I had to listen to him talk about her most of the time." "Why the aceentT" Henry aald. "Because you've talked about her so much yourself, Henry." Luella said. "Not that I'm jealous or anything like that, but but Oh, darling, we were going to have such fun together when we came to New York. You said so yourself, and now" "But we are having fun!" "Not the way I expected to. All you do is talk radio, try to write . songs, and work at the office. You never have time even to tell me you love me." Henry stiffened. "Luella, don't tart being that sort of wife!" he said. i , "What aort of wife?" ' 1 "You know the sort I mean," aid Henry. "The sort of wife who wants her husband telling her every minute that he loves her. We've got to be modern, Luella. We can't go on acting like the married folks acted when our grand-parenta and parents were married. This is 1941, honey not the Seventies and the Eighties." . . .,... "Really?" Luella waa tired, ahe was annoyed, she was a bit dis gusted. "I don't see why we can't act like they did. I like their way of doing things." "Now you're talking utter non sense," said Henry. All of a sud den he was tired also the reac tion probably. And he was an noyed, .Darn women! They could be so cock-eyed unreasonable. "We belong to an entirely different-generation. We can't just sit around of evenings just just being married." , !-No? i . , -'No!V , , ? 'Luella -felt as though she could oftatn.

Marie's apartment -on' the Monday evening after returning from the Rector yachting party. He stayed until after midnight. He had none again and. again, eager to perfect the songs, excited over the possi bility., .of havins them used, in radio, .an,d still finding .himsrlf ucijuciiMjr woiwennj, as ne naa wondered oeiore, II a man could love hi wife and another woman at one and the same time. In spite of the fact that he honestly tried his best to keep his 'association with Marie on a pure ly business basis, he often remem bered Marie in his arms, the kiss they had shared out on the ex tension roof of his and Luella'a apartment, Marie's- disturbing nearness. It was wrong, tragically wrong, for him to Keep remembering such things. But fighting a mem ory was a thing that was terribly difficult rather like fighting a shadow that kept crossing one's path. And Marie, alwaya trying to help him, encourage htm so tre mendously interested in him and his verses. ' "Of course you know," she was now saying to him, "that Rector and Everett are really sincere in their interest in you, Henry. They have mentioned you to me aeveral times." "I keep hoping they are," Hen ry replied. "But I've got my An gers crossed." "Silly, darling!" .aid Marie. Henry looked about them, feel ing a little guilty, ieeling like a small boy playing hooky from school. For he and Marie were in a cocktail lounge of a small West side hotel. He had found It necessary to be In that neighborhood in order to examine a piece of property, and since it was late afternoon, he had called Marie on sudden Impulse and asked her to meet him for a cocktail. He explained that he wasn't going back to the office, but etraight home to dinner. They would have time for a drink and a talk. Presently Marie went on talking. "It made me very happy," she said, "having you call me. I like little unexpected things like that. Henry pleasant things coming right out of the skv. so to speak She took a sip of her cocktail, then sat down her glau. and leaned across the narrow table. 'There's always a place in radio for a man with ideas, and vou've got them." she said. "I know it. And I've a sneaking Idea we're go. ing to have some definite devel opments before long " omans intuition at work. I reckon." Henry grinned.

"But, after all, I'm in the realty business up to my neck. I've been in it since my high-school days when old Pro feasor Smithson told me he'd pay me a commission if I'd rent those five old shacks down by the rail road; you remember, Marie, the houses his aunt left him over where we kids used to play." "Yes," said Marie without In terest. "I remember. But don't grow reminiscent on me just now, Henry. We've got the present to consider, and the future. Let's not talk about the past" "All right But what I mean is that I'm tied up with renting apartments and selling lota. Of course i line working on my verses, and I get as excited as a kid when I think of having you sing them for me, and yet "Of eourse you get excited!" Marie eut in. "Who wouldn't? Ra dio's an exciting business. And look at your business, the realty business! It's dull and tiresome, and I don't see any future in it You'll just go on renting apart ments and selling lots, year in and year out, until you're an old man, all tired out" 'Gosh, you certainly do paint a sad picture!"

"Down home, working with our local entertainments, di recting our plays, playing my ac companiments. All that has helped to establish a background for you." She smiled into Henry's eyes. "Besides, I know the right people. And I've gotten a good idea about radio work in general. I may stand up in front of a mike and sing, but I've kept my eyes and ears open. Mnrie'll help you with all she's got" Taffy For Henry "TPHAT'S darned sweet and gen X eroua of you, Marie. I appre ciate it too. But there's a heck of a lot of competition around here. you know.

There were hun dreds1 of ingers with far more experience and training than I had, but did that prevent me from coming - up here and having a try?' "No. But you had a definite something to offer your singing." "Well, you've got something definite to oner, too." said Marie. Then: "There's Just one . thing that's worrying me. that's Alma Latham's attachment for Malcolm Rector.'' "Why should that worry you?" ' "The job I've been telling you about is one Alma might be able to All, and I think she's after it And with the hold she has on Mal colmhe's in love with her, or I don't know the symptoms she may persuade him to forget ev eryone else, and give the job to her." Marie paused, save Henrv a searching look. "But you can still put up a ngnt, can t you? "Certainly I can," said Henry. "That is, if I finally decide to give up the realty business " "Don't tell me there are any doubta in your mind!" "As a matter of fact there said Henry. "A married man can't afford to gamble on his future.

He iiesitated a moment tnnV a drink, remembering Luella and tne strained something that had sprung up between them since the Rector party, and which had grown and grown, like a wall that was slowly but surely being built to keep them apart Ana taxe L,ueiia, he went on. "She feels verv xtrnntrlv nhsint m. giving so much time to the songs; not that she says very much, but I sense it in the way she looks at me at times, and in the things she doesn't say."

"But don't let Luella's feelings and rather old-fashioned ideas about things In general in terfere too much with that clear and calm thinking." She glanced at her watch.
