ANDREW AND
 IMOGENE
By ROE FULKERsoN

When Imogene came into the room every drawer in Andrews chiffonier was pulled out and lying on the bed. All his shirts and other white wear were scattered over the room. Some were heaped on the bed and other portions were piled on and draped over the chairs.
 "For goodness sake, what are you doing?" she demanded
 T am fixiag to move into a real home" he exclaimed glaring at her.
 Tt will not be one long if you move into it'' she snapped back.
 Well. it will be one where I can find my clothes when I want them. maybe" He turned from her and be- gan digging like a fox terrier into a pile of garments on the bed.
 Andrew" she said, catching him by the arm. do be sensible. l know you have lost something you want and you know you never could find anything in yout life. Tell me what 1t is you want and l will give 1t to you and then put in the next hour replacing these things. What is it2a
 T want q pair of white socks he said, "s-e-x. socks; w-h-i-t-e white. White socks. I bought half a dozen pairs two weeks ago and now there is not pair herey
 Imogene flushed slightly and then said cooly: You sit down out of my way and I will find them for you, as I put these things back in the drawer where they belong"
 She picked up shirts, collars and things, slowly filling the drawers and replacing them in the chiffonier until the clothes were all back and yet she did not find the lost stock ings.
 We'll said Andrew, sarcastically. T am still keeping out of the way and still waiting. As a medium, you are a shine. you have failed to ma terialize the dear departed.
 They must be all soiled or else they are in my dsrning basket" said Imogene. You do not have to have them tonight, anyway
 T don't, eh?' demanded Andrew. T am going to wear that Palm Beach suit tonight if l have to go sockless. That's all nonsense about those socks. l have not had on white shoes but once since I bought them and I know l did not wear six pair that night.
 Well. do not get nasty about it,' said 1mogene. T guess I can find them"
 q want those socks" insisted An drew "They cost me a dollar pair and they had nice little green clocks on each one and looked better with my Palm Beach suit than any I have ever had and. like the small boy reaching out of the bathtub for the soap. I will not be happy until I get it."
 Wear something else tonight" suggested Imogene. As she spoke she stopped over to pick up a fallen col lar and Andrew started from his chair and then settled back again quietly with gri msmile.
 Those socks are just like that pair of stockings you have on," he said; little green clocks and all. How far up do those clocks go?"
 You are impudent," she said flushing.
 Nc" he said, 'only inquisitive.>Let me seer"
 She started out of the room with her nose in the air He rose and stood In the doorway before her.
 Do not misunderstood me, dear" he said soothingly. 'I only want to borrow pair of those stockings from you to wear tonight I will not mind the extra length" As he fin ished he reached for her and she lodged around the bed.
 Tt was so hot" she said shifting, and other women wear them and I did not know you would care and I did not think you would find out Andrew broke into a laugh saving,
