A Modern Story of Home and Business

CHAPTER XXIII.

“SW Gerry. what do you think has l1Hl>D¢ned?" Mary Ryan said the next morning. She wa; requir- ed to be at the shop half an hour earlier than I was and often retail- ed a bit of gossip when I came ln.

"I haven'i. the least idea." I still

felt a bit hurt and worried over Robert, and my mind was upon my own affars.

"Yours -truly is a full'-fledged

saleswoman. No more bustling down mornings for little Mary. Let George do it now! George or Annie. it makes no difference to me. Watch out or I'll grab your job. I'm out to make a record.' Then more serlousl ' “Ain’t it

queer what little things do lol

folks. If I hadn’-t been walking be- hind Madame that day and picked up her pocket book I wouldn't have been here. Then I w0uldn’t per- haps ever been in a millinery shop at all; I wonldn't have known you or- anything."

‘iYes, it is sometimes a very in-

significant action -that affects our lives. I am very glad for you Mary It isn't anything more than you de- serve. You can sell as well as I can now. But don't have your eyes or heart fixed on my position; I shall keep it myself-unless I am discharged . "

“No danger of that," she return-

ed then muttered something that sounded like 'I wish there wa.s,’ but a customer came in just then and I forgot all about Mary.

For several days Robert came

home reguiary. We spent one evening with the Weeds. At first I enjoyed myself, but later in the evening something happened that made me sorry I went. Betty and I were talking of clothes, I had helped her fix a hat. when I over- heard Frank say to Robert:

“I got my expected raise yester-

day Bob.” ,

“That’s fine," Robert replied. "I

didn‘t." .

“It must have been favoritism. I

know they have always thought a heap of you down there. They used lo blow about your ability."

“Used to. is right.” Bob‘s voice

was full of bitterness.

“Buck up, Bob, don’t let lt make

you bitter. You’ll get boosted next time."

"1 donbi ii." "Pshnwi brace up; I didn't. think

il had cut quite ‘so deep."

“It Ls my own fault Frank. I

haven’t been worth a damn for some time. 1 cnn't fix my mind on my work. I lost a splendid order today. The customer said I was iuattenllve, that he would go where the clerks thought of the customers, instead ol their own affairs. The boss was pretty mud."

I noticed the quick glance Frank

gave Bob, an apprehensive look neither said anything l more and we soon left for home. - I felt sick, so worried was I by what I had overheard. Y

I wanted to talk with Bob about

it terribly, but I feared to hurt his feelings. He seemed so sensitive of late; so quick to resentany sug- gestion. So I chatted of imper- sonal things all the way heme

“Betty Weed -is so helpless about

some things," I opined. “It was fun- iy to see her try to fix that bat."

“She can fix food if shs can't fix

hats. That was on awfully good supper. I could have drunk a quart of that coffee."

"Then stayed awake all night." "Might as well stay awake for

coffee, as to lie there thinking." “Do you -lie awake much?"

"Oh, 1 guess I'll stand lil” Somewny it wasa’t easy to visit

with Bob nowadays. He seemed always impatient. Not really com- pani-onable as he was when we were first married nor did he seem le be particularly interested in much of anything. I-ie didn’t sn- thuse as he did at first over visiting his old friends. Demurred some- times when I proposed it. Really I was at a loss to know what to make of him at times.

“l wish you would tell me what

worries you. Perhaps talking it _over with me would help," I finally suid.

‘Nothing will help!" was his

brusique reply. We had reached home so I dropped the subject. Later in the night I heard him up and reminded: , "I -told you the coffee would kcep you awake."

"Oh, damn!" was his muttered

retort.

married and left the place Sher parents lived when he was a small boy. '

"Look at that Gerry," be said

handing me a letter, “I had forgot-

ten there was such J, person." .

I opened the lette and turned it

over. It was signed: “Your aunt Felicia." Then I commenced to read:

“My dear nephew Robert, I ex-

pect you will be very much sur prlsed to hear from me, your mother'a younger sister. I-shall be in your town in a few days, almost as soon as this letter can reach you and shall look you up. Natural- ly you will not remember me, as you were a babe in arms when l last, and first, saw you. I hope you will be glad to see one of your mothers kin, and that you have grown up -to be the sort of man she would want you to be if she had lived. Your aunt Felicia."

"went" lssid. “I suppose we will have to make

the best of it, but I could have sur- vived if she had not renewed her acquaintance with the ‘babe in arms' as she calls me. I remember mother did have a sister of that name. l wonder if she is Miss or Mrs., I can't remember, and noth- ing she says in that note tells us."

"Do you suppose she intends to

stay long? I was rather terrliieu at the idea of this visit. , “Goodness no! How can she? ll

we werskeepiag house she might, but not here." "~ _ -

"l felt like saying I was thankful

we were there if it -would prevent h-is sunt making e long visit, but caught myself in time. After all she was -Robert's aunt;' almost the only relative he had in the world. If he wanted her to remain, it was my business to be nice to her. Soi replied:

“She may like it here. How old

is she?"

"Oh, about ilfty anyway!" Two days afterward when I

reached homo Robert was there and so was-Aunt Felicia.

"Geraldine, this is my aunt, you

remember shé wrote she was com- ing. Aunt Felicia, my wife."

As I shook hands with -the tall-

eagle eyed woman whom Bob had just liulroduced I did not wonder he had not cnlledme ‘Gerrys -Pet names would not appeal lo a we man of hor type. I felt sort of dazed and helpless as I looked at her stern forbidding face, and no- ticed ihe erect, uncompromising way she sat in the straight backed chair.

"l'lI be ready for dinner in a

momentf" I said as I took off my hat. `

"Do hurrp." Robert said in, an

anxious tone, "we have been wait- ing some time- for you."

"It is something to which I never

have been accustomed. A man waiting his wife’s pleasure as lo when he should dine," she remark- ed acidly. "The wives I have known ha`ve usually been tho ones to wail.-if waiting were necessary. But young women are not like they used to be."

I waited until she had finished

then hurried to tidy myself. I felt like groaning aloud. What in the world should 1 do if she decided to remain some time with us? I felt it would be nothing less than a ter- rible calamity. I was sure of it when, as I joined her and Robert, she said:

"In my days young married folks

didn’t live in boarding houses. Young women nowadays think of nothing but gadding and clothes.” she looked at my stylish serge dress with sc_orn.

“Geraldine is a -business woman,

you know, aunt Felicia," Robert said, “and they have to look pretty nifty." - “I do not approve of married busi- ness women. A woman‘s place is at home if she has a husband. There are single women enough in the word to take cars' of all the bus!- ness women should do. A man needs u lot of steadying. And no woman can look after a man and a business too. Don't you earn enough to support your wife nephew?"

. “Indeed he does!" I broke ia 'But I worked when I married aim. I love my work, and there is no earthly reason l should not con- tinue it. Robert and I think alike about this." -

"Then I have nothing more to

say." She looked keenly at Robert. I-Ie flushed and seemed about to speak, then changed his mind.

Aunt I-‘elicia had declared she

'had nothing more to say; but I found I must not fake her too literally. She was a widow, and her experience must have been an unpleasant one because she was soured and critical of life to a degree I have never seen equalled. Yet she had her good points also, and I honestly tried to forget every- thing but that she'was Robert's aunt, and to do my best to make

her visit with us s pleasant one.

Naturally, she was compelled to

be alone much of the time. But Robert and l made plans for her entertainment, and each day gave her a list of points of interest she could visit. Then in the evenings we devoted ourselves-to hor refus- ing e-il invitations to the Weed's or Murpliy's, and inviting no one to spend the evening with us. as Robort’s aunt disapproved of both

cards and dancing.

Ons evcnfns Robert did not come

home to dinner. I spent the even- ing alone with her. Never before or since have I been so thoroughly miserable. Aunt Felicia was ons of

the most curious women I over‘

have met, and had no compunc-l 0 '

num.; .t marinas about satisfying that iggiapl

sity. She asked the most- por I questions just as- if she ‘bad the right. and if I tried to evade them she would keep on quissing me

until she had learned what she wanted to know. .

“You are very fortunate to merry

my nephew," she remarked. “fami- ly counts for so much. My 0WD married a man whose people didn't amount to much."

“But one doesn’t marry an entire

family!" I objected.

“Blood will tell!" was the senten-

ilnus answer.

She questioned me about his ssl-

ary, also about my own. She show- ed some surprise when she found .mine was so much the larger of the two, but in no way depreciated Robert because of lt. She asked about our friends, their habits and finances, and seemed to think me lacking In some way when I told her I never questoned people about their personal affairs. By the time Robert came in-about 10 o'clock -I was competely worn out.

“i was so glad to see you." I

told him when we were alone.

“Why so particularly glad to-

night?"

"Oh, your aunt questioned me

about you. myself, and every one we know! l have answered or evaded until I am worn out. Please don't leave me alone with her likain while she remains."

“Nonsensel It is good for you

to have company when I am out." "‘But you don’t have to be out. and please do as I ask."

"Oh, very wel! She won’t stay

forever." His answer was so indif- ferent, so unlike Robert that l fell, hurt. I-Ie was becoming very diill- cult, I sometimes hardly knew him for the gay, happy Robert I had married. V ..

“Where did you have dinner,

Dear? At Marion Hovey's‘."' I do not know why 1 asked him if he had been at Marion's. 1 never had done so.

"Yes, I called her on the tele-

phone and she said they _were to have fricasseed chicken for dinner un'd.a`sked me if I didn't want some. I grabbed her up quickly, I can assure you. I um so everlnstlngly sick- of :his grub that I would K0 anywhere to eat if I had an invita- tion."

I wondered what he had to say

that he needed to telephone Marlon but his tone precluded further ques- tioning. I would not imitate his aunt. I thought. as I repressed the desire. .

"Did you enjoy the dinner?" l "Did l'.' You should have seen

me ea.t,'l wgs so ashamed of my appetite that I stopped at the drug store on my way home and ordered a big box of candy sent to Mari-,on.'

“That probably cost more than

your dinner,” I said, hurt because he had not brought me candy for some time.

"Perhaps, but not worth more

than to go and sit ata table where everyone is pleasant and happy, and where the talk is interesting, instead of listening to a lot of gos. sip or talk In which it ls impossible to be interested because one -cares nothing for the people. l‘m sorry you begrudge Marlon the candy."

“Don‘*..be silly, Robert!" We said no more, yet I could not

sleep. I lay wondering what it could be he had said on -the tele- phone to Marlon, and wishing he had brought.me a box of candy. ‘ As Mary Ryan had.said, it is the little things in life that seem to count. ' .

` CIIAPTEIP XXVI.

Robert had been so frank in his

telling ol' his evening with Marlon Hovey that I tried to be sensible and not feel hurt; but I couldn't.. I had spent a miserable evening ea- tertalnlng his aunt while he was having a good time. It comforted me a little, but only a little, to know he had culled me up before accepting her invitation. As always I said to myself: _“He wouldn’t have done it when we were first married. and I am no different now." That a msn expects more from a wife than from a sweetheart did not occur to me. .

There was something dangerous-`

ly close to jealousy burning in my heart. But I tried fo remember that Robert had known Marlon long be- fore he had known me, and that

“How long will your aunt stay?"

.I asked the next morning.

"How do I know! Why don't you

ask her?"

Robert was stil] depressed and a

bit morose. It seemed futile to try to -talk to him, so I desisted. lt was as had us living with a bear with a sore puw, I told him, he was so grouchy.

After breakfast I said to Aunt

Felicia-as Robert had insisted I call her-

"You must be sure to go to the

Museum before you -leave."

Ad if I had put into words

thought in my mind, she "I shall have plenty

that and other things told Robert I should cr month with you- leave me alone all d another month will scarcely enough to become acquainted with you both." She invariably spoke of being left alone in an injured voice that annoyed me. She knew I went to buisness and if she didn't like it She might go. I really tried te hide my exaspera- i.ion from her and answered her al- ways in a respectful' way.

She never sympathized with me'

or seemed to think it anything out

anoth

you

I feel

“You don’t need me, now that you have aunt for company.” he said when I reproached him for not lei. ting me know that he would not bc home.

"I may not need you, Dear, but

I always want you." I replied. Aunt Felicia. was listening.

“Lots of us want things we can’1.

have."

I had reached a stage with Rob-

ert when I was almost forlornly proud of my self possession.--Not from me should his aunt hear any complaints. Often when we sat to- gether I found my thoughts wand- eriug. But always I shepberded them back, finding it necessary io ask her lo repeat what she had said at limes, and so earning a look of disapproval. -

One night Robert had not come

in by half past seven, and I propos- ed we i-to to the motion pictures. Aunt Felicia agreed, although she assured me she would not think of going at home. She did not con- sider them quite moral.

The plcture was a good one and

so I paid little attention to the house until Aunt Felicia nudged me and said:

"That looks like my nephew over

there," she pointed.

I looked. It surely was Robert-

and Marion Hovey. I knew it was him before he turned his face to- ward us. He did not see us, and was whispering and smiling at Marion. who looked happily con- tent. ‘

I was not angry. I was not know-

lngly_jealous. But a black and all- suifuslng hopelessness seemed to make my body cloud and my heart numb.

Had I really lost my husbands

love? What did it mean? I had lrie_d to be a good wife. ln what had I failed? '

"Please don't let Robert know we

saw him tonight," .I whispered to Aunt Felicia. "He feels nude, ob- ligations to that young lady -her mother died," it was n. miserably iam-e excuse for him but I need not have worried. ` _ "It is kind in my nephew to try to cheer up the bereaved. I should think the young lady would have thought it in better taste to remain at home, however."

I felt guilty that I had inferred

Marion‘s mother had just passed away when she had been gone sev- eral years, but I made nn explana- tion.. .

GERRV l-S WARNED

CHAPTER XXVII.

I thought with s tightening of

the throat how Robert always praised Marion, bow he even seem- ed to think her more capable than either J-ans or Betty. I held his aunt back when the picture was over. I wanted him to get out first. Then he would not see us.

He did not come in until after

Aunt had gone to her room. I wai- ched him in an oddly impersonal way as he talked to me. I told him his aunt -had gone to bed, but said nothing of our having been out. Neither did he volunteer any infor- mation as to his movements.

"Where did you go tonight Bob?"

I finally asked. unable to restrain myself.

$10 a show!"

Alone?" "For heaven's sake, Gerry, one

would think .I was a kid in short pun-ts to hear you quiz me."

“l don’-t mean to quis Robert, but

I am very lonely when you stay out evenings." He made no reply and I said no more. -.You should be proud of Rob- ert,” His aunt told me before I left for the store the next day. “He spoke of going to a. show last night and 1 questioned him a little. Ha says he has been working very

hard and nsded relaxation."

mitted, "but 'hs doesn’t seem to get udvunced as rapidly as we had
