T THOUGHT It would be fun,"
1 LuelU went on. "nd that we
might get to b th Henry and
Luella we used to be."
"Alwayi the aentimental little
woman, aren't you?" laid Henry.
"I reckon so, laid Luella. "But
I was under the impression that
sentiment was a part of marriage.
She shut the suitcase, and tight
ened the straps. Then she straight
ened. She looked Henry directly
In the face, and asked:
"In just what way have I (ailed
you?"
Henry was startled. "I don't
know that you have failed me," he
said. "I I suppose we're both to
blame for the way things are. . . .
I think sometimes, Luella, that we
made a mistake that's all."
You mean In marrying?"
"In getting married Just when
we did. yes, said Henry. He got
Into fresh undershirt and shorts.
"Maybe we should have tried be
ing separated for a little while. .
Found out how we feel about each
other after living away from each
other for a few months. . . . Pro
ninmiitv nrobablv had something
to do with the way we felt about
things you know, being together
so much as kids, and after we
grew up.
A pause, a groping for words,
And another thing, Luella you
don't seem to have any Interest in
what I'm trying to do.
"Then you do think Tve failed
you!" Luella accused. She didn't
wait for Henry's denial, but went
on. "I am interested in what you
do, and I do want to encourage
yju, Henry. Really I do. I keep
thinking that Marie has a lot to do
with your interest in radio that
Jf she wasn't in it you'd not care
so much about It youraeii. Ana
that is what makes me disagree
able at times. If Marie hadn't used
your song and asked you to do
others forner. we we might have
(one on as wa wore You were
eager to make good with the real,
tv people when we first got here.
Henry.
"What makes you think I'm not
still eager to make good?" said
HLueifla shrugged. "Oh, I don't
know!" she said helplessly. "But
vou don't have the same enthusi
asm; all your enthusiasm seems to
be for radio work. And I don't like
the idea of you quitting the realty
people it seems unfair, after the
reel estate men got you up here."
"That's a sentimental view
point," Henry said. "And senti
ment should be left out of busi
ness. A mini's lot to look out for
himself. This is not the first time
you've brought up the subtect.
Luella, and I don't like it I don't
like the way you act as though I
were being dishonest or some
thins;, in considering a change."
"I'm sorry." said Luella. She
didn't seem to be getting any
where at all Then suddenly she
asked another unexpected ques
tion: "Do you think Marie under
stands vou better than I do?"
"Good Lord!" Henry was grow.
Ine more and more annoyed and
uncomfortable. "But since you've
Mme rieht out and asked. I think
maybe she might Anywav, so far
as mv work is concerned."
"Would you marry her If you
could?"
"Oh, the devil. T.uella!" Henry
flared. "Do stop asking silly ques
tions. Let's drop the subject All
we do is just go around in circles."
"No. I won't drop it." said
Luella stubbornly. "Now that I've
fotten the courage to bring It ud
m going on. Henry, would Marie
be willing to marry you if I got
out of the way?"
Henry's Answer
HENRY, who had sat down to
tie his shoes, now looked up.
His eyes were full of misery. Lit
tle Luella May Brown, asking a
question like that trying to be
modern, trying to find a way out.
For a moment he was tempted
to take her in his arms, hold her
close to him. But a vision of Marie
swam before him; Mane, beckon
ing, holding out exciting promises
of a gay and thrilling life to
gether fame fortune
"Answer me, Henry," said Luella.
"Yes." said Henry. "I think she
would. Anyway, she feels that I
understand her and her work, and
she feels we ought to go far to
gether In the radio world.
"I see," said Luella And then:
"So this Is marriage!"
"Listen. Luella." said Henrv
"don't sound so tragic. We haven't
r separated or anything like
that . . . Good, gosh, honey, you
make me feel like a heell 1 that
1 we
"Your suitcase Is all ready," Lu
ella cut in. "I'll go fix a quirk sup
per. I've got some cold cuts, and
can heat some rolls."
She walked out ot the room.
Henry, still sitting upon the side
of the bed. watched her. "Damn!"
he said half aloud not knowing
Just exactly why be swore. ...
Tt waa Thursdar when Henry
took the train for Chicago. On the
fnllnwin Saturday Tommy Mcln.
tyre telephoned to- Luella. "Let's
drive out in the country," be said.
"and get ourselves some sea-air.
Winter'll soon be here, when ev
eryone s snowed in.
"All right. Tommy!" Luella said.
Two days she had been alone, and
today there had been no letter
from Henry, although sha had
been so sure he would write her
as soon as he was settled. "It
sounds grand," she said, trying, to
put some gaiety into her voice,
"m riA nut intn the country."
"My car's parked down in front
of the house," said Tommy. "I'll
be up for you In half an nour
traffic lams .permitting!"
Luella was ready when he ar
rived. She was standing out in
front of the brownrtone building.
"Because you're so eager to see
me?" said Tommy. "Or because
you didn't want me to come up
stairs?" "Neither one," said Luella. "It's
glorious afternoon, and I didn't
want to waste any time staying
inside." .
"Let's drive out to tne earn
Club," Tommy suggested. "I used
to be a member there. I'd like to
see what It looks like, now that
everything's closed for the season.
Darnit all, summer is so cock-eyed
short up in this neck of the woods,
and the winters so long!" Then,
later, when he had parked the car
outside the Long Island summer
colony, and he and Luella were
standing on the deserted board
walk, he said: "Sorry we never
got out here for a swim, Luella,
but, never mind, maybe we'll be
able to make it next summer."
Next summer. Luella found her
self wondering what next summer
would bring. And, wondering, she
was terribly depressed. Where
would she be then? Where would
Henrv be? . . . And Marie? ...
And tommy? ...
"How about some food? Tom
my said presently. "I noticed a
restaurant back a little way. May
be we can get some seafood. I'm
hungry." He looked down at Lu
ella, loved the way the wind
played havoc with her hair, the
way it had whipped high color
Into her checks. "How about
you?"
"I can eat" Luella said. "You
know little me!" That's the Idea,
Luella be gay, be flippant
though your heart be in shattered
bits. "This salt air does do things
to a gal's appetite."
Tommy Tries Again
TDMMY gave her a quick look
She wasn't fooling him, not bj
a darn sight But he said: "Atta-
firll" andled her back to the car.
hey got in and drove back to th
restaurant and got a table for two
near a tall window, so that they
muld look out to where the far-
off sky bent to caress the restless
ocean. They had smells, crisp oa
con, French fried potatoes, lettuce
salad. They said little until mey
were having their dessert of appU
pie and coflee. Then Tommy,
watching Luella gaze out across
the wild expanse jf gray water,
spoke of the thing nearest hit
heart
"I promised not to mention
love." he said, "but I can't help
telling you, Luella. that you're
lovelier than ever and that I'm
still in love with you."
Luella turned to look at him.
He was, she thought, one of th
dearest people she had evet
known, and for one wild, reckless
moment she wished that she could
stop loving Henry, and tell Tom
my that she would throw every
thing to the winds, and come to
him.
But the feeling quickly passed
She couldn't do a thing like that
She wasn't the tvpe of woman
who could so easily forget the
promises she had made before th
minister who had married her.
I like having you fond of me
Tommy." she said presently. "Bui
let's not get back on the sublect
of love." She finished her coffee
and pushed back her chair. Let I
take a brisk walk along the beach
before we go back to town. Do yoti
mind?
"No. I'd like It" said Tommy.
Thev got up and went out
Luella took off her small hat
and tied her bright scarf about hri
head. It made her look like a little
girl. Tommy thought and he loved
the way her hair curled up over
the scarfs edges. They walked
along the sands until they could
see the skyline of tang Beach.
And it was then that Tommy
caught her to him.
"Darling . . . darling . . . h
said, his voice husky with emo
tion. Oh. Luella mv love.
Luella went limp for a moment
Then she freed h e r s e 1 1 Shi
backed away, holding the scart
which had become untied.
"Tommy. Tommy!" sha said
"You promised."
"I know." Tommy said. "But 1
couldn't help myself. Luella. . .
You looked so appealing so sort
of frightened I I" He searched
her face. "You're not angry with
me. are vou?"
"No, Tommy, not angry," Luells
said. "Just sort of shocked hurt
. . . She put on the hat which
she hsd been carrying, and retied
the scarf about her neck. "Corns
on. Tommy, let's go back to the
citv. It's getting late. It'll soon
be'rtark."
Thry returned to where Tommy
had parked the car. They got In
