"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."

HENRYdid' go up to . 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

radio, .an,d still finding .himsrlf

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.

She took a sip of her cocktail,

"Maybe you're right," Henry
said thoughtfully. "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"

'Oh. yes. you have!" Marie con
tradicted. "Down home, working
with our local entertainments, di
recting our plays, playing my ac

to establish a background for
you." She smiled into Henry's
eyes. "Besides, I know the right

"No. But you had a definite

"Well, you've got something

Then: "There's Just one . thing

"Why should that worry 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
