But Henry tcorkt e oreat deal, both at hit regular job. and at writing $ong$ for Marie Maion to ting on the air. And of count writing tongt for Marie mean that Henry teet s good deal of her, and that Maria maJcei the mott of that act. Hen ry it vary good looking, unfor tunately. Luella and Henry Jut have given a dinner. Chapter IS Gossip Enters "ItELL," said Henry sfter their guests had departed, Fred and Mae a bit uncertain on their feet after three mint julips apiece, "now that you've met the men I work with and their wives, how do you like them? "It's hard to say," Luella re plied. "They've got me a little contused. "Confused? How do you mean?" "Talking about so many things so rapidly." Luella looked about the disheveled room, and then said: "It would seem that even in a city of nearly eight million, peo pie hear things and gossip." "Meaning what?" "Meaning you and Marie," said Luella. "Mae actually grew sym cathetie . . . 'KeeD a still upper' lip, Luella, darlin,' she said. 'I Know exactly wnai you re u ssainst Whv. when Fred and first came to New York I darn near lost him to a little blonde huzzy, third from the end in a revue.' . . . Sweet of her wasn't it, to be so understanding? Henry frowned. "She probably had too much to drink," he said. "That was very obvious," said Luella. "But she evidently knew what she was talking about. How do you suppose she ever found out about you and Marie?" "Good Lord, how should I know?" Henry exclaimed. "Be sides, there was nothing for her to 'And out,' as you express it. Marie rails the office now and then to discuss the songs and one day she came up to bring me some scores to look over during odd moments." He shrugged. "Moun tains out of mole-hills that's alL" "Proving, I suppose," said Lu ella, "that people are the same the world over that is, people who love to gossip. I think this excludes Pete and Sue, though. I like them a lot I thought them sweet and unassuming and they seem to get a lot of fun out of life without trying to impress people. You know Fran and Van with their opera, Carter and Irene with their golf and tennis, to say noth ing of Fred and Mae with their breath-taking bridge winnings and losses." "Well, at least It proves that couples like them have a keen interest in something really worth-while," said Henry. "Now take Carter and Irene fur exam ple. They" "I did take them," said Luella. They nearly drove me mad with their songs of praise about each other." "That's not a very kind way to speak of two people who cava us such a wonderful week-end," Henry rebuked. "I didn't think it was so won derful," said Luella. "Besides, I've just paid them back with the best dinner they ever ate if I do say so, as shouldn't" She began to slip off some costume jewelry Henry had bought for the occa sion. "Looking back over it all," she said, "I think 1 enjoyed be ing with Pete and Sue more than with any of the others. Fran, for Instance, made me feel as though I were dressed in calico, and little else. Mae embarrassed me now and then with her way of talking; the was downright vulgar at times." "Good lord, Luella, you do re set in the damdest way to peo ple!" Henry exploded. "You call n unambitious man and his rather mousy wife 'sweet and un assuming' and vou think a wo man like Mae vulg.ir, and one like f-an high-hat Listen, Luella, Mae ind Fran are the types of wives who help their husbands along. So is Irene. The very fact that she talks about Carter in a praise worthy way shows that she is proud o: mm, and naat Birds Of A Feather "T COULD actually see his ego swelling." said Luella. "Good ness gracious, Henry darling, it s all right to praise your husband, but you don't have to use a whole week-end doing it, do you? "Perhaps we d get along better if you sang my praises a little more, ana crmcirea my new irienas a uttie less, said Henry, annoyed. "I'm tfirrv Hnrlinff rallv T mm Luella said. She sat down upon the arm of the chair into which Henry had slouched, and ran her ringers through his thick hair. "Its Just that I know nothing about opera, leas shout gnlf and tennis, and am a notoriously bad bridge player. . . . Sue and Pete struck me as being more my kind of people, so naturally I was drawn to them." "I see," said Henry. "But one has to progress snciallv as well as financially in New York You ran never broaden yourself by picking out only the people who seem to be your kind. They Cot Himl Kingstree. C.

"Maybe it's just a case of birds of a feather," she said, "or water that seeks its level" "There, that's it exactly!" said Henry, sitting up. "Bromides! . . . People who get about Luella, don't spout old saws and recite wornout adages. They learn to express themselves in a more original manner." "Yes, sir," Luella said. She gave Henry a quick kiss. "Let's not talk about it any longer. I'll say this, though, being invited out to hob nob with some of your associates and their wives made it possible for me to see quite a bit of you. my darling! "What do you mean by that?" Henry wanted to know. "1 mean that our social splurge forced you to go places with your wife," Luella replied. "It kept you from spending your evenings & tanning radio programs with larie." Henry eye Luella Intently. "Marie again," he said. "You don't mean to tell me that you take any stock in what Mae told you?" Luella shook her head. "Of course not even though 1 am the product of a gossipy little town down South," she said. "I don't have to take any stock in what gossips say, to realize that you spend a lot of time with Marie." She motioned Henry to silence as he started to say something. "Oh, I grant you it's all Innocent enough, but but I still feel neg lected at times, Henry. Surely you can understand that. "As a matter of fact, I can't," said Henry. "A wife who really wants her husband to get ahead is willing to make a few sacri fices, such as spending some time alone while her husband is work ing trying to get ahead in the world. "But Henry, you neglect me for the radio songs' Luella reminded, "not your realty job. You get home from that all right but then you plunge right into the work Marie's got you interested in." "That won't last much longer," Henry said. Then, gently: "Learn to adjust yourself, honev be more self-sufficient Although now that you've met the girls, you ought to find plenty to do in com pany wiin mem. "I doubt it "Why?" "We have so little In common." Luella replied. "I can't drink with Mae because it makes me ill the next day, and I don't like it any way alcohelic drinks, I mean." I thought you were getting so you enjoyed a cocktail now and men." "Oh. In a wav. I do but two It my limit . . . Then there's bridge. You know we can't afford to play for the stakes Mae plays for, and she's not the type to play for fot peanuts." What To Do? '""THEN play some tennis wlti 1 Irene. There are courts neai us, so invite her over some day for lunch, with tennis after wards.'' "She'd die of boredom." Luella said. "I'm hopeless at tennis, and I know little or nothing about golf. And don't tell me to go to the opera with Fran, for opera bores me to tears. I love good music Schubert McDowell, Cho pin, things like they wrote but opera strikes me as downright silly." mat may Be very true all ol It," said Henry. "But one can cul tivate a taste for opera, just as one can learn to play a good game of bridge, golf, or tennis. I nave had to adjust myself to a lot of changes, Luella, and you'U have to no me same. "You mean to learn to play good game of bridge, golf or ten nis?" "Yes." Luella sighed. "All right my Lord and Master," she said resign edly. "I may learn to play bridge, fiolf, and tennis, but I'll never earn to like opera especially Wagnerian operas, the ones Fran and Van talked so much about." Henry made a gesture of hope lessness. "I'm going out for a walk around the block," he said. "I over-ate, and don't like to go to bed on a full stomach." "All right," Luella said. Thank goodness we got all those people together for a Saturday night Wi can sleep late in the morning." "Not me," said Henry, as he got his hat from the entry closet. "I ve got work to do tomorrow, I've got to slave like the devil on the songs, as well as study some leases." "I suppose Marie will want you to help her also." "Naturally." Henry put on his hat. "She's doing all she can to help me. so why shouldn't I co operate?" "No reason at all. I reckon." said Luella. "Only 1 don't see that she's helping you any in the work you rame up here to do." "Perhaps I shan't be In that work much longer." "What do you mean?" Lurlla'a eyes widened, as a sense of un easiness griped her. "Oh. nothing murh." said Henry carelessly. "Only I'm beginning to feel that there's more future for a man of my training in radio man in real estate, lie opened the door. "I'll see vou a little later. Don't wait up for n e."
