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

as financially in New York You

Luella got up somewhat
wearily.
"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
