What I can’t guess.” “Are you home for long?” “I've not decided.” “Trouble with your husband?” | “That’s my business.” | “Pardon.” He flicked his ash, | He waited for her retort. Silence {compelled him to continue. “After all, Santa, my question Wasn't impertinent, You've been creating the false impression that T’'ve wronged you,” To his alarm a big tear rolled own her cheek, She brushed it away perfunctorily. “I'm athamed. I've treated you Tottenly.” “Of course you have.” Weariness overcame her. She Placed her hands before her eyes. “ “T’'ve got to confess. My marriage is a flop.” What he had heard and what he had conjectured pieced themselves together. “Is there anything I can do?” he whispered huskily. She shook her head. “I can’t bear that you should think harshly of me.” “What have you to tell me?” “About Dicky. Why 1 took him, I couldn’t bear to hurt him, Instead of being jealous at the way we parted, he was sorry. I’ll never for- get the way he dried my tears. You wouldn’t have done that. It seemed such treachery to deceive him.'T'asked his advice.” eres! About what?” . my engagement and following you to Burope.” “You precious innocent! Let's’ get this straight. You asked his ad- vice as to whether you ought to chuck him?” “Sounds crazy, doesn't it?” “And 2e said that it was your _ Guty to stick to him?” “He didn’t. He pointed to all his own disadvantages. Argued for you.” “The smooth guy.” Clive laughed. “After that,” she urged, "I couldn't write you. Could I?” some- “But why tell me?” He was cruel: | ly aware of her proximity. “I want you to forgive me.” Clive tried to ignore her. He glanced at the clock and rose. “You're married to a smart man.” “Sit down.” She seized his hand, “Dicky isn’t smart. He’s always at me to lend him money. When I re- ‘fase, he tells me | don’t trust him.” a “Don't forget that you're confiding ‘to a man who loves you.” “Do .you?” Then the “Only that becoming a ‘wife is al- | {DECISION MADE AT MEETING | first GAME RESULTS IN8 TO; ways a business. ments.” “Curtailments,” Santa helped her. “Exactly.” ‘That’ afternoon, without further Such “readjust- palaver, Santa boarded the Chicago H Limited. It was a clear, cold morn- ing when she arrived. Losing no , time she drove straight to her apart- ment. As she was paying her fare, someone jostled her, scrambling | Into the taxi which she had barely: } Ci vacated. “Gee it’s bitter! ‘xcuse me dearie.” Santa gained 4 glimpse of a slight “ girl, commonly pretty, eyes im- mensely blue, a wealth of flaxen hair, The detail she remembered was that the jostler wore a polo coat of the same model as one that she herself possessed. Having closed “her door and, listened, ‘she tiptoed to tle Kitchén, Not-@ sign of Ann. The apartment had an odd atmosphere of neglect— unventilated, ‘andusted. The dining. room war strewn ‘with unwashed plates—her choicest which had'cost from two to three bundred dollars a a dozen, It looked as if Dicky had thrown a party to hoodlums and then decamped. There remained only one room to explore. The bed had heen slept in; the clothes were tossed aside. Here, as everywhere; were ‘moinds of cigarette stumps. She was despairing, when a sound attracted her. She peered into the, bathroom. “Hello; Dicky!” “Dash it all, Santa! I’d have cut my lip off if° this fazor Tad n’t “been a safety.” rs She hovered on the threshold, re pentaat, Tovely.” *~ “You're glag to see me, Dicky?” “If you want the truth, I thought you’d goné for 6004,” “Would it have been for good, Dicky?” “For the love of Mike give a fel- low @ chance! Can't ‘you see ‘what I'm doing?” His reflection gazed at her from the mirror. He stood framed in the entrance to the bathroom scrubbing his face with’s towel, “What have you been doing with- out me, Dicky?” “Camping. What did you expect? I couldn’t keep a maid when Iwas alone, Let her go to avoid a scan- dal.” “I never thought of that,” she said humbly. “Well, think of it next time and oblige me.” He disappeared. So there was going to be a next time! She drew a sigh of relief. She could act naturally now that she was sure she would share this room. Approaching the dressing-table, he-applied some tonic’ to his hair. Not till he was knotting’ his cravat did he again acknowledge her. She glanced up palely, 1ik who had been slapped. “May I, Dicky?” “Cut out that Dicky stuff.” She rose to face him. “Pm ” “A man doesn't like to be made @ fool.” “O, please want me, Dicky—the way you did when I was new.” At the sight of her tears, he melt- lanswer, “Dicky’s so dear, for all] °* ‘his badness. He tippled before I married him. Every time we quarrel the drinks harder. What I'm afraid ‘ot—” _ Suddenly a thonght made Clive \aee red. “If I were to hear that he'd laid ‘a finger on you,” he threatened. | In tho hall they stood staring at each other. When would they meet again, if ever? She drifted nearer. \. “You poor kid!* He took her in (his arms. “You're safe now, little ‘Santa.” ‘That brought her to her senses. “Darling. I owed you this;.but I'm not good for you.” | She pushed him toward the door, locked it behind him, turned out the hall lights and tiptoed up to bed. The moment she was alone her mood changed. She was a fine one to accuse Dicky, who took a drink too many when she’d made him angry; whereas she, the puritan, flung herself into the arms of any old lovér. Through a night of toss- jing she recalled the bright spots /im the past year. Dicky was a lamb; jehe wag the sinner. Next. morning at breakfast she announced to her mother and father, “I'm going back to Chicago.” “Not today, darling.” “What's the matter with today, | Mumm) After Mr. Dawn had left \she answered: “I don't know, dan ‘Mag. You're your own mistress. But “I can guess.” her. Hi Santa forestalled “Daddy's been discussing me. way off—got the wrong idea.” “Then everything’s all right?” “Why shouldn't it be?” “There: There, little girl! We won’t mention it, It’s over.” “But I must,” she pleaded, “to start straight.” “What's that?” He stiffened. “You've not been off with a man?” She shook her head, weeping buckets. “It’s about Clive.” “Clive, by golly! The last you told me he was in Europe.” “T thought he was; but my first night home he was dining with my parents.” “That won't wash, Santa. To see Clive was why you left me.” “But listen, Dicky,” she implored. “I'm trathiful. You don’t need to use these third degree methods.” Stified at times by sobbing, she blundered out her confession. “And so { was unhappy for him. T'd been a wretch to him. And he was unhappy for me, too, I guess. Mummy and Daddy had made it fairly obvious that they suspected I hadn’t bolted home for nothing. They shouldn't have left us alone— though that was chiefly my fault | It happened at parting. I've got to be honest; I felt 1 owed it to him.” | “So that was all!” He smiled. “A kiss more or less th a Itfetime | doesn't matter.” “You don’t mind?” “Ot course I mind,” he spurrea | his antagonism; “but no bones are broken,” i { | } i! “You're sweet—such a dear, for | giving husband.” “How about breakfast?” He freed himself.
