Why, you'd die! Where have you spent your day, today, just for fun?” She tried to remember. She had been at the beauty shop part of the afternoon, and shopping with Suzanne and Dalsy after- ward. But where had she spent the morning? Oh, yes in bed with a new novel. A good story, too, about a shop girl who had been left a million dollars by an old great-uncle in India. Jack laughed again when told him about it. “There, sce!” he said, “that's the kind life you Jik “But it's you who make me lead that kind of life!” Honey Lou pped out. “I wanted a house vhen we were first married, and Y nted to do my own cooking and . and you wouldn't let me. me hire Mary! And now you hate the way you lvel” She was on the brink of tears. “No, I don't. T like it fine, only it costs so much,” Jack said “And anywa we's got to stay her where we can be near my Dad. Angela says he had a dizzy spell when she was driving him dewn to the mills this morning. He hasn't been well for months.” It was on the tip of Honey Lou's tongue to ask him where he had seen Angela, when he spoke ence more: “The little house in the country is just a dream, Honey Lou. For- get it. I'd probably be just as homesick away from town as you'd be. T'm a grouch. Don't pay any attention to me, tonight." Tut Honey Lou could not forget what he had said. She thought about it when she lay beside him that gight, in the midnight dark- ness. “Perhaps T'm losing him the way Suzannc lost her husband!” she thought miserably. “T'll let Mary go first thing in the morning, and do my own work like an old- fashicned wife." What was it the poem had said? “Spread pajnt upon the kitchen sereens, and fix fresh-cut flowers in a bowl?" “I'll_do more than in a town! she you of Honey Lou prom- ised herself fiercely. “I'll go right down to my mother, and take a course in cooking from her, by diggety-dog!” But the next morning at nine o'clock Angela was on the tele- phone. Mary told Honey Lou so, when she shook her to waken her and set the breakfast tray on the bedside table. “I want you to go downtown with me, to help me pick out a new dress for this party I'm going to give for you and Jack,” she sald. “And 1 have something to tell you—something about Jack that I forgot to tell you last night. I'! cal for you in my car in half an hour.” “Oh, well,” thought Honey Lou, hanging up the receiver, “I can let Mary go tomorrow instead of today. Plenty of time to begin the good work!" An hour later she and Angela were in a little French shop. “I thought I'd get a black velvet dress for a change,” Angela told the red-headed saleswoman who had sold Honey Lou her wedding slippers. “Wouldn't you, Honey learn to cook! .but I'd Lou But Honey Lou had darted across the shop to a rack where a pale pink dress, all a-glitter with pink spangles, hung. Her eyes were bright and her cheeks scarlet with sudden excite« ment as she beckoned Angela to her. “Isn't that the loveliest dress you ever saw?” she asked breath- lessly. “It's my size, too! Gosh, love to have it for your® party! Would you buy it? It's only seventy-five dollars, Oh, I don’t dare “Ot course, I'd buy it. That's an awfully pretty new atenogra= pher down at Jack's place, you know,” Angela drawled. “That's what I wanted to talk to you about this morning.” (TO BE CONTINUED) What does Angela tell Honey Lou of Jack's new stelographer tn tomorrow’s chapter, How Scotland Yard got its name 1s & mystery.
