The breach between Dick and Gloria widens, Gloria makes up her mind to get back into Dick's good graces. Finully she goes to Dick's mother to ask her to teach her to cook.. Mother Gregory spends the day with her. helping her do the housework. And Dick eomes home to find dinner ready, the house in order, and his tousled wife in a bungalow apron. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “Who did all the heavy house- work? . . . Not you, I know,” Dick said, unbelievingly. But his eyes swept Gloria from her untidy head to the hem of her bedraggled apron.

But just as Gloria opened the screen door te go out, Dick walked down .the front steps and around the house to the back yard. Gloria ran upstairs and put a touch of rouge on either cheek. Then she followed him out to the garage where he was tinkering with he car, “Dick,” she said in a quiet, even “1 can't” go on living like For three days I've been do- ing my housework just as well as T know how to do it ... and I'm willing to go on with it, if you'll only treat me decently. Won't you, please?” Dick turneq toward her. He had taken off his coat, and rolled up his sleeves. His halr was ruffied, and thers was a smear of grease across his cheek, He looked boyish . absurdly boyish. Gloria took her handkerchief m her apron pocket, and rubbed the grease from his face.

Dick sneered, "'Yes 1 know that's the way you look at it,” he said, “but no decent woman would let any man but her husband kiss her, Gilor: 8he wouldn't soil herself that way.
