Are you sure. MargIe." asked
Dick soiicitously. that you are
not oyerdoing?"
"overdoing your granny" II
answered. rather heatedly. Every
man ! have danced with tonight
has stopped operations more or
less to discuss some phase of love
with me-"
Come on, dear, and dance with
your husband" begged Dick with
a grin, and ! promise you will
not be troubled with love as the
subject of conversation"
Dick is so funny that / can't
stay angry With him long. Besides
| had determined not to quarrel
with him at the party. SO we
started when the orchestra began
q hesitation. While he Is not so
good a dancer as either Jim Edie
or Mr.. Hatton, yet to you, little
book, will | confess that | was
happier dancing with my husband
than either of the other men.
Dear, old, numbering, blunder-
Ing Dick! ! really think he loves
me. but he Is a man--easiiy flat
tered-easily tempted, and when
he finds that he has made a mis-
take he will not acknowledge 1t.
i imagine there is a subtle
pleasure In talking over the days
that are no more with the one
yon thought you would marry
and did not, and Eleanor Fair
low is a most fascinating girl.
I'D like her very much IL she
would let me. However, I pre-
sumo I'm little catty, though
don't aim to be so in always tell
ing her In some way how much
Dick cares for me.
iefLast night she certainly was
not very happy, for after Dick
had danced with me he stayed by
use the rest of the evening.
<4gI did not care to dance any
more, although Jim Eide said
t'stingy" when declined to
dance again even with him.
Harry and Eliene came over
and sat down by us through one
dance. Eliene said, II think this
party will be my last party until
the baby comes. am so glad
you could come, Margie. You
see, We persuaded Dick to Join
our party when he thought you
would not be well enough to
come.
Eleanor Fairlow was at our
house the night we invited Dick,
and Harry asked her II she were
going. She said she thought not,
as her escort had been called out
OF town, and then Harry said,
Come along with u.s.
when Dick called us up and |
told us you were coming l wanted |
you to come with us, too, but Dick |
said If we did not mind Jim Edie |
would take his place, as you
would probably only stay a little
while and might Inconvenience us
by wanting to go home before We
did,"
Eliene had innocently given the |
that Dick had wanted |
me to hear and which IL he had |
made it. | would probably not
have believed.
The only place where poor old |
Dick made a mistake was In not |
telling me of the engagement.
1t makes me angry at him to
have him assume that I am jeal-
Gus of Eleanor. / don't think / |
am. / don't think that l would |
worry about her at all II he did |
not make such mystery of every |
little thing which concerns her.
Just when we were ready to go
home and stopped to bid Donna
Tenney goodby and tell her what
a fine time I had she whispered,
I'm so happy. Margie; I'll come
over soon and tell you all about
It."
wonder II she and Bill are GO
ing to make up? He has been out |
Of town for the last month, but 1t
WOu1u pc Juot ifhC hitu W 6O Out
Of town and make his love by let
ter.
II has always been one of the
greatest, greatest griefs of my
life that Dick does not
write me letters. 4
To have soemthing that your
husband has written that you can
read over and over again and
carry around over your heart has
always seemed to me to be one of |
The greatest joys of being loved.
And I have known men to whom
The words of love come haltingly
Il they had to speak them who
could write the most wonderful
letters. l envied the women to
whom they we're sent

lecond lovemaking by letters his
wife is nearly won.
