One thing that makes II so delight

be do think that our tastes are
wonderfully similar
Isn't il nice TO have it that way

together as you and ! quarreling.
Whatever put that foolish idea into
your head, sweetheart"
oh, just because, you know, mar
ried people do quarrel now and then,
and often about the merest triies.
But it takes two 10 make a quarrel
and know that l never will-where
are you going to put that chippen-
dale chair that dear Aunt Ellen gave
us, darling?"
Il was going to put It right in this
corner, sweetheart"
DO you think that is the best place
for it. Harold, dear? You know that
IL is the handsomest thing We have.

Think so? I'll try 1t there"
Il like ii better there. darling"
You do? Well, now, | can't say

were trying to show IL off and call at

II don't think it does And want
folks to see it so long as it is really

have than"
MY dear, l didn't say that you
wanted TO make a vulgar display OF
the chair, but"
Il know that you didn't exactly say
that, Harold, but your tone of voice.

My tone of voice? My dear, spoke

no. you didn't, Harold There was
certain little note of irritation in
your voice, and-but about the chair.

one thing. l think dear Aunt Ellen
would not like 1t tucked away out of

Harold. Remember that-anyhow,
so long as 1t was my aunt and not
yours who gave me the chair, think
that might have the privilege of say
ing where 1t shall stand | owe a
great deal to Aunt Ellen and | don't
want her TO get the idea that her pres

incest thing We have, and none OF

Il guess that what my relatives gave
us will size up very favorably with
anything your relatives gave US,
