PAGE TWELVE bvWATKIl YESTERDAY: Henry Pell to nice young man, but susceptible. . And Luella Pll is e good wife and quit nit tqunl But riohl now Henry it doing well in a good Job in New York, and to trying to write eongt for hie old tame, Marie Mason, on the eide. and ie eecing a lot more of Marie than Luella Wees. Marie helps it along by hinting that Luella it a drag on Henry. Chapter 14 Luella Hal A Dale "'Dye, Henry, dear," Marie laid. D "We're going place, you and 1" "Goodbye, Marie," laid Henry. "Good luck." He watched the taxicab drive off. Then he turned and headed for home, deciding to walk as he could think better when walk ing. He hated the way things were with him and Luella, and ha made up hi mind that as soon as he reached the apartment he would do hi best to get mat ter back on the old basis. He quickened his step, smil ing a little not knowing, of course, that Luella was with Tommy Mclntyre that tha two of them were facing each other across a small table In a cocktail lounge somewhat similar to the one wherein he and Marie Mason had just had their drink. "Funny thing, Tommy," Lu ella was saying, "my being here with you like this." "What' funny about ltT" Tom my asked. "It concerns a book I read a few week ago," Luella went on. "It was a book called 'Ladies Of The Lobby,' and it was about neglected wive in a big city, wive like myself whose hus . bands had become so involved in business or other matters that they no longer had time for the women they had married. And in the book those wives fell into the habit of meeting other men in cocktail lounges, like this one. Tommy, or in hotel lobbies." "I still don't see lust what that has to do with us, said Tommy. "Do you know what I did after finishing that book?" Luella said. "No." "I actually said a prayer, ask ing God never to let me become a wife like those I'd read about." Luella laughed somewhat mirth lessly. "And yet, in spite of my fears of becoming a a 'lady of the lobby,' here I am, having tocktails with you." 'That' different," Tommy said. "We're friends good friends. And Henry and I ara friends, also." "Yes, I know," said Luella. And then: "I'm feeling lower than low. Seeing you, Tommy, ought to " "Do you no good at all, Lu ella," Tommy said. "I'm feeling low myself. He grinned. I guess this is one of those times when misery is certainly going to lova company. Drink your cocktail. It will help some may be." Luella glanced around. "People laughing and joking," she said. "Sometimes I wonder If I'll ever laugh again, and really mean it." Thais no way to talk when you've got a man on your hands who need cheering," laid Tom my. "I asked you to meet me here because I felt you'd do me good." Luella lifted her glass, and shrugged. "Only a matter of months, my life In New York," he said. "And yet there are times when it seems like an eternity. Married life, even when you're married to a man you've known practically all your life, can have ndless difficulties." "They say," Tommy remarked, "that the first year is the hardest, er is it the first hundred years? Anyway, maybe if you weather this first year satisfactorily, Lu ella, you'll be all set for the other ninety-nine. Luella leaned forward. There was great intensity in her face, and her unhappy gray-green eves. "Oh, Tommy," she said, "what has happened to Henry and me? I can't put my finger on It. We were going along so happily, and all at once he has gotten to be almost like a stranger. I know I haven't been perfect, but I haven't nagged, or anything like that" "It not your fault," Tommy said quietly, "so don't condemn yourself." "Then, whose fault Is It?" "Henry's mostly. I think." "How do you mean?" "Do you really want to know, Luella?1' "Yr, Tommy. I do." said Lu ella. "I suppose it's awful of me to talk about my husband like this to discuss him with you and I hate seeming to be a whin ing, complaining wife, but but well. I've simply gnt to discuss him with someone. Tommy, or or blow up." Facta About flenry -yUEN discuss him by all a means!" said Tommy. "Pure you don't mind if I'm pretty frank?" he asked, and when Lu rlla said "no" as though she meant it. he went on. "Manhattan's gone to Henry's head. It often happens with hic.h strung. ambitious young men especially those who are impres sionable, like Henry. Thev get t ie idea that they're going to be big; snots over-nieM. and thev forget a'! the decent human things. Henry's gone havwire over Mane and her work. She's made hirn think he can become radio's Number One Song Writer. She's got Henry all up in the sir no pun intended: and he's lust kid enough in some ways to SUPER- SLACKS $13.95 mad from Army Officer's Clastiqua 73aX&C4 Store for Men a.WBiaHTI want to have a try at being that Number One Writer of Songs." "I wonder If he' In lova with Marie still," said Luella. "Or, perhaps it the life she lives, the excitement, that appeals to him. The way she gets him into an atmosphere he's never known be fore." She paused, was thoughtful for a moment "Maybe he should have married Marie after all. Maybe he oughtn't to have rushed into marrying me until he had come up here, worked awhile as a bachelor, and seen a lot of Marie. What do you think. Tommy?" "I wouldn't know," said Tom my. "But I do know that if you were my wife, Luella, things would be different for you for us both. . . . Have you forgotten what I said to you on Rector's facht; about maybe it was you m in love with? "Let's not talk about that. Tom my," Luella said uneasily. . . . "One of the men in that book I told you about said almost the same thing to one of the married women in it They got terribly involved before the final chapter. "Drat your old book!" said Tommy. "The dratted thing does haunt me now and then," said Luella. "But, maybe a book like that doe some good, after all makes wives stop and think." "Well, to the devil with it any way." Tommy said. "And now, much as I dislike the idea, I've got to be getting back to the of fice." "It waa fun seeing you, Tom my," said Luella, pushing back her chair. "Fun is hardly the word, I'm afraid," said Tommy. "Regards to Henry," he added, as they werit out. "We mustn't let him ?et the idea I'm a menace, or a riend In villain's clothing al though I'd sometimes like to beat him up for not appreciating you, Luella." "Thanks," said Luella, trying to sound a lot more frivolous than she felt, "I wouldn't like that Henry would look awful with a black eyel" "'Bye, Luella," said Tommyl "You're sweet damned sweet.'' Luella waved to him, and was gone home to a waiting and hungry Henry, a man who looked a though he would take her in his arms, and then, for some un explainabla reason, didn't Social Life SUDDENLY, and without warn ing, there began a series of social event in the lives of Lu ella and Henry. During the next few weeks they were invited to two dinner parties, a theatre party, and for a week-end visit to a charming little town over in New Jersey. Henry's business associates and their wives had come alive at last Luella. decided. And heaven knows it was time! Down where she came from, folks would cer tainly never neglect a pair of newcomers as the people up here in New York had neglected Henry and her. They dined In the over-decorated Park Avenue penthouse belonging to a couple called Fran and Van, two amazingly good looking young people who adored tne opera, ana who kept refer ring to Lily Pons. John Charles Thomas, Grace Moore. and others connected with the operatic worm as lnougn uiev were as thick as peas in a pod. They saw a rip-roanng musical comedy as the guests of a couple called Fred ana Mae, a forty-ish pair who drank too much, and were bridge crazy, speaking of winnings and losses that made Luella gasp. They had dinner with Pete and Sue in a pleasant small apartment in Jackson Heights, Pete and Sue being a couple in the middle thirties who apparently got a tremendous kick out of each other and the joy of merely being alive. Finally they spent from Satur day noon to early Monday morn ing in the Colonial house of a couple called Carter and Irene, two people who talked endlessly of golf and tennis, and the "pros" they knew personally, when they were not singing each other's praises. Four couples who, Henry ex plained to Luella, were typically New York. "All from somewhere else, Just like us," ha said, "and getting ahead in the world that is, all but Pete and Sue." "Aien't they getting ahead?" Luella wanted to know. "I'm afraid not," Henry an swered. "Pete's the one man in our organization who doesn't seem to be progressing. He's too easy-going, too well satisfied to have a fair-paying Job that keeps him and Sue in the bare neces sities." "I 1"!gM they lived rather well." said Luella. "Oh, I didn't mean thev were poverty-stricken or anvthihg like that." said Henrv. -But thev haven't got the push the other couples nave. ro vision. Then he told Luella that he thought the best wav to return tlie hospitality of the four couple was to nave them for dinner. "You know," he said, "one of those dinners like you had for Marie and Tommv."" 'But wont it be rather crowded. Henrv. having ten peo ple tor dinner?" "We ran tnanaee." Henrv said. "Resides, you ala shine as a cook." And not In any other wav. Lu ella thought. But she said nothing. S ie went ahead with the dinner plans. Patsy, the colored woman, w as called in onee more, and once more Luella did herself proud. Te be eenllnar 4 SPANISH VOLUNTEERS GO TO FIGHT RUSSIANS San Sebastian. Spain.
