CONNIE DALE was sure that
morning, as she left the church
on the arm of her young husband,
FRED. that they could.
Now starting out on their honey
moon. a camping trip, before Fred
took over his new position as sales
man for the Gypsy Motor Company
In New York. Connie begins to won
der.
Did she or the Gypsy automobile
occupy the center of Fred's being?
Was the home to be an annex to
the salesroom? The uncomfortable
thought persists in her brain.
GO ON WITH THE STORY
They drove in happy silence for a
while. Then. with the persistence
of a nudge, the thought few back

"Mm-no. Only-after a hard
days work, I imagine you'd want to
forget business and just relax at
home" Connie ventured, voicing
another of her cherished concep-
tons of married life.
Fred gave a shout of pride.
Want to forget Gypsy! Not much
i don't. Because you and Gyp are
going to be mighty good pals, you
know. Let me show you how little
she is jealous of you!"
