 Dick set the tray down on the bedside table. On 1t was a plate of sugary rolls that Maggie had baked the day before, silver dish filled with butter balls, and the steaming coffee.
 q made the coffee" Dick said, "and believe me, it's some brew strong enough 10 float an egg."
 Where did you ever learn to make coffee?" Glory idly asked. AS a matter of fact, she didn't care where Dick had learned. The great thing was that he had made 1t!
 "On camping trips when l was a kid" answered Dick. He put his arm around his wife and drew her down into his lap.
 T can broil bacon and fish and fry potatoes, too," she said proudly Honestly, Glory, cooking isn't hard work. l wish you'd try it. I'd love to see you in a white apron fussing around the kitchen. :" Instantly Glory's good humol vanished

If it takes every cent have you shall have one but guess every man dreams of seeing his wife doing little jobs around tht home he's made for her. What' marriage, anyway, but the joy of man and a woman building nes for the children they hope to have
 
 Glory sat up suddenly and pu her arms around Dicks neck,
 She leaned back and let her nrll liant eyes rest in his.
 "Is that what marriage means t' YOU, Rikky-Tikky-Tavy?' she asked "Doesn't it mean me?. Doesn 1t mean love and thrills, too' to vol just q little bit?"
