It was onions that showed them this. Until that fatal day they had never, felt that they were unsuited to each other. It was early afternoon and they were discussing cold lamb and salad prior to separating—he to play golf. she to tennis, until 6 o'clock, when Robert would come home, have supper and take Ruth to a dance. i They went out somewhere every Saturday. It was an agreement. Ruth took more salad. = “Will you pass it to me, please? asked Robert. *“This is great.” “Do you notice any difference today? 1 had no onion and I always think it| is not the same without onion—it adds, you know. | “Onion!" Robert looked up. “Those beastly things! Don’t mention them to me! Not in my house.” “Goodness!" said Ruth. not be so fierce about it. You've eaten | bushels of them in your salads.” | “No cultured person could ever tol- erate that reek,” said Robert, getting ruffied. | 1 never thought the day would come | when my husband would tell me I was vulgar, but_while we are living in the Palace of Truth, I might as well say that I noticed last night your dinner coat is tight on you—you had better Robert flushed. T never told you how to behave. I ‘merely mentioned that onions are awful. Did you ever hear of the chet who, when asked the secret of his salads, re- plied that he chewed onions and breathed into the dish. 1f either of them had laughed then, the breeze would have blown over, butl the saving sense of humor was absent. | They were both getting in dead earnest | and that is bad business, you know. Just then the grocer boy called and said when unpacking the many things. “We were out of onions, but will bring them later.” “Tell him it does not matter; send soap instead.” said Ruth. | “That should please you,” i Ruth, as she twmed to her husband; | *it's common, but—quite unostenta- | tious. Robert grinned. Ruth stalked from the room. She went to tennis as usual, but there was something wrong all afternoon. It was 6 o'clock when she reached home again. The maid was seated at her puwmdnnn‘_ : “Show me the way going the right way about anyway,” sald Ruth. g maid jumped up and faced her mistress. that he was not “You need Ruth looked at her coldly. When would this turbulent affair end? ‘The phone rang. Possibly it was Robert—but it was her Cousin Anne, and an agitated Anne. “Ruth, come over quickly,” the volce sald breathlessly. “The children are both hurt. I've sent for the doctor, but come. I am so upset.” “I am going out, Mary,” sald Ruth to the maid. “You may go out as usual.” She wrote on a plece of paper: “Gone to Anne's.” She and Robert had al- ways told each other where they were going, and because he had sent a curt message, there was no reason for her to do likewise. Ten minutes after her departure Robert came home. He went into the empty house, surprised. He had told Mary to tell Ruth that he would be home a few minutes after 6. Then he saw the message. He was hungry. He finally made some coffee and read the papers and then went out. First he bought a large box of candy—that would please Ruth. Then he went to Anne's. He could see Ruth sitting with the baby on her lap. The domestic scene had no charm for him and he stalked back home. It was nearly 10 when he heard Ruth’s key in the lock and he took up a magazine and was engrossed in it when Ruth appeared. All the way home she had been fram- ing speeches: dignified remarks, smart sentences. She was still angry, but her sense of humor had returned. She had R resolved to be penitent. Robert merely looked up at her. Ruth sat down and made the soothing re- | mark: “It's a full moon tonight.” “I have no objections,” said Robert, coldly. | Ruth bit back her mirth, “Robert!" she gulped. "1 am sorry, dearie,” Robert began when Ruth started to laugh and they laughed and laughed. “But why did you pop off like that? I phoned that I would be home at 6.” Then she told him about the maid and the accidents at Anne's. “It has been a trying Saturday. Aren't you hungry? There is potato salad.” And “Yes, I could eat some salad. please make an omelet.” When he gave her the big box of | candy, he knew it would please her. | She thanked him and said: “Now | I'll mix the salad.” | Ruth brought in the food and Robert | helped himself to a big portion of salad. | “This is great stuff, Ruth.” He looked | across the table at her and his eyes | twinkled. “Now confess it is nicer with- out onions.” “It is very good,” said the saladmaker, complacently. | She poked with her fork at a piece of onion on & cube of potato. She reflected, not for the first time, how easy it is to manage a man if you know when to keep your mouth closed. She put her hand to her nostril surrepti- i e e B A or when she with the onions. “I told you so!" sald Robert, as is the way of husbands. “Now perhaps you flubdlne‘\::x:::"tih-mmunotmeu- sary. ly salad is better than what we had at lunch” “I am glad you like it, dear,” said Ruth.
