The reason for John's refusal to n! their fricnds.-tlie theatre, or the movies. seemed to have no weight With tMarcin. We have iicurd that WiltBi‘ flows liormlessly from a dnck's book. With us little impres- sion did Johii plead wearlness when Murcia urged him to go with her. It soon came to he a sore subject. “Other women's husbands go with them." Marcia pouted. “Perhaps other women's husband ilopjt. take on extra work." He did not add, what Wus inhis mind. "To givp their wives pleasure they could not otherwise afford.“ Murcia admitted that she knew John was busy, that he was so fortunate to have the extra work. but she missed him none the less, and really he owed her some of his time. He shouldn't have niarr- led if he never expected to go out with his wife. "But how can I do extra work s-nd still go without sufficient sleep?" John fiBked after an argu- nient. "Unless you give up the cnr and cut down expenses we would soon he in debt without extra money I earn by working overtime." “Give up the car! I see myself! It is just as I have told you dozens of times. If you iwould demand more you'd got more. No one is going to offer it to you on a silver platter!" "I am fortunate thiit I do not have to do with less, Instead of risking for more under present busi ness conditions." "But you are so clever, John." wheediing him by running her fin- gers through his hair. "You are a wonderful worker. you have brains. Make them pay you for them."

Job/n ‘wearily dropped into sil- ence. He rose an hour earlier than had his custom and had his break- fiist alone. Marcia declared it was lieathenish to expect her to break- fast at 7 o'clock, that 8 hiid been bad enough. Perhaps it was heathe- niah, but John was illssiipointed just the same. As it was for her sake he rose soearly as he thmlllll-t she might keep him company. tile bated getting up as badly as she dlil.
