raised their voices they might shat

The disputes began again.
Doors slammed. shrieks, weeping
stormy meals. biting words-it was
the same thing all over again.
One morning Nine. Leyril. still in
his pajamas. saw Alphonsine enter
the room and interrupt their daily
! morning encounter. She was very
red in the face. and had her hat on.

she said. I'm going to leave."

But see here" M. Leyril broke in;
what is it that you are dissatisfied
about?"
| He thought a moment and then
made this proposal:
do you want to have tickets to the
movies twice a week instead of once:"
Nine. Leyril. furious at his sugges-
tion. Let me do the talking. That
| will be better"
TN say what 1 have to say" he
returned II know what she has in

mot at ALI" shouted Nine. Leyril.
She wants you not only to carry up
the coal and the wine, but also to
carry down the garbage can"
what stupidity" he snarled. .She
wants you to do all the errands."
The cook listened impassively while
they talked about her supposed de-
mands. carefully noting down in her
mind all the most promising sugges-
tions.
"Alphonsine. my girl" Nine. Ley
ril began again. how would you like
to have my blue tailor-made suitf
You said once you thought It was
very pretty. You are a little bit
larger than I am. but it will be easy
enough to let out the seams"
you are talking nonsense" NJ. Ley
ril broke in. "Alphonsine. my girl.
how about my giving you new dress,
made to order?
Idiot" shrieked Nine. Leyril
IF I'm an idiot what are you?" he
shrieked in return.
For five minutes ley berated each
other. Then the 3k stepped for
ward and silenced ,aem with an i'm
perious gesture.
You are all wrong" she said 1T
is only reasonable that monsieur
should carry down the garbage can.
that madame should make up all the
rooms and do the errands. Two
cinema tickets a week are not too
many. and l am surethat I deserve
both madame's taiior-made suit and
the new dress which monsieur has
promised me. But there is another
thing which / want, and i will go at
once il ! don't get it,"
They asked eagerly:
whats that. Alphonsine?
She cooked her stocky arms across
her breast and answered solemnly:

me. People who weep get on my

about the house, and hate to work

monsieur and madame are going to go
on like that I would much rather

They exchanged an eloquent look.
For the first time in their married
life they understood each other and
were completely in accord. They drew
near each other. M. Leyril opened his
arms. Nine. Leyril rushed into them.
When they had finished their en-
brace they turned to the intruder.
