The trouble with the game of love
was that it never appeared to develop

But Martha was a business woman
of the first magnitude, if you care TO
classify her in sidereal terms She
was in the fire insurance business on
her own account during working
hours, and at other times she was cam
paigning for sister politician in the
approaching election. Get a girl mixed
up in business and politics and when
does mere man get look-in?
During the last half year Martha
Dale had lived next door. Before she
entered politics Dale had spent some
time with her. but never had he been
able to summon sufficient courage to
breach matrimonial matters About
the time he had succeeded in muster
ing the required courage Martha got
interested in politics, and now her
would-be wooer had no opportunities.
Several times he had succeeded in
getting her into his roadster for q
ride as far as her Office but that was
too short spin for proposing pur-
poses. If he tried to drive slowly the
traffic cops were sure to urge him to
greater speed in order to keep the
lanes clear.
But today Dale felt reasonably sure
of success. because IL was Susan b.
