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

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.
