I had ' let him go on making plans, and I had | acquiesced in them joyfully. Now he had gone out for- some cigars, and when he returned I must spoil all his pleasure. Knowing Dicky’s explosive temper, and his persistence when he had set | khis heart upon anything, I dreaded his return and the moment when I must tell him that I could not go, and worst of all my reason for not go- ing. I knew that he would consider it no reason at all, disapproving as he did of the leadership, which Mrs. S8mith wished to discuss with me. He noticed my red eyes and woe- begone face the moment he came in with the cigars. ‘“What's thé | matter now?” he querfed. ' His téne sounded a trifle im- patient. “I thought I had chased away ‘all your blues,~and that you: were. all ready for. a-good time to- morrow.” ‘“That’s the .trouble, Dicky. go tomorrow.” “Can’'t go tomorrow! you mean?” “Why when you were talking about | your plans, I forgot that I had made | an engagemen® to meet Mrs. Smith at 1 o’clock tomorrow afternoon.” “Who in thunder is Mrs. Smith?” “Mrs. Helen Brainerd Smith.” explained painstakingly, “the secre- tary of the Lotus Study club, the woman who wants me to take the | leadership of the club‘s history class.” Dicky sprang to his feet with an'! exclamation that consigned innocent | Mrs. Smith to perdition. “I knew it,” he.said, raising his hands high above his head, a way he bhas when angry. “I knew if you be- | gan that stunt of going out washing for pin money, there’d be something like this every time we planned any pleasure trip together.” ‘“Laundering Their Brains.” “Going out washing!” I exclaimed. ‘What on earth do you mean?” ‘T'd like to know what else it is,” he returned sardonically. ‘“The jani- tor’s wife goes to the homes of these club women and washes their clothes.

The predictions say warm tomorfow, fol- lowed by a drop in temperature. In the second place I have a very import- ant appointment with Fillmore, the art editor of Sumter's Magazine, on ‘Wednesday. | “Oh,” I could not conceal the re- sentment I felt at this injusticed *“You cxpect me to break a business engage- ment when you would not do so?” “My dear girl,” Dicky’s voice patronizing as if he were trying to ex- plain things to a child. “Considering that Fillmore throws about $3,000 worth of work a year my way. I think T may be pardoned for con- | sidering an appointment with him a | trifie more important than yours with | Nirs. Smith.” “The principle of the thing is the same.” I insisted stanchly. “Oh, you and your principles, “T'm getting eternally | tired of hearing about them.

There's somebody in the | world besides vourself, and your little | two by four rules of right and wrong, He flung into his room, and came out again with his hat, overcoat and stick. “Don’t bother to sit up for me,” he said formally. “I'm going for a long walk, and I may be late.” I sat quietly as he had left me, for a long time. I could not feel that I had done wrong, and yet things could not have turned out more miserably if I had deliberately disregarded the right course. i The telephone bell rang loudly. "As I answered it Mrs. Smith’s clear| vibrant vo cume to my ears. ’ “Mrs. Graham? I wonder if it will inconvenience vou greatly if I change our appointment for tomorrow. You said you had no especial engagement | for this week, so I am venturing to ask you this favor. I had forgotten when I made the appointment that to- mofrow my masseuse is coming.” “Any other day will suit me well,” T heard myself saying. “How sweet of you. What day?”’ “I will telephone you. What is your number?” “Chelsea 8760. You are sure this change will not inconvenience you?” “Perfectly sure. Good-by.” I hung up the receiver with a feel- ing of bitter anger against Mrs. Smith. I had given up a delightful outing and antagonized my husband to keep an appointment with her, only to have her throw up the engagement for an appointment with a masseuse. as lectures on history.

POLI PLAYERS SCORE y IN “HELP WANTED” Cereal Coffee ‘With a story that grips an audience at the very outset and retains its in- terest until the finale, “Help Wanted,” Jack Lait’s drama in which the Poli Tlayers are appearing this weck, is one of the most thrilling plays. of the | season at Poli’s theater. The action | centers about Jerrold Scott, a wealthy | weakness for pretty stenographers and when he en- gages Gertrude Meyer and then tries tc make love to her and takes her out to lunch with him, he starts an in- cident that finally ends by his re- formation and his determination that perhaps stenographers are entitled to respect.
