 and arms! .. And q scarf of real lace like foam along the edge of wave.
 She would beat Myra Gall at her own game! Stan would never look at Myra again!
 Not when he saw Glory with her loveliness dressed as 1t never had been dressed before!
 She wished that 1t were Monday morning instead of late Saturday afternoon ... so that she could go downtown and begin to shop, then and there!'
 By the time Glory had made the twin beds and had hung a neat row of face towels in the bathroom, 1t was dark.
 Downstairs she could hear the faint rattle and chatter of dishes. She supposed that Dick had finished strengthening the house in his slap dash mans way, and was washing the glasses from last nights bout.
 She fluffed up her hair, dabbed her nose with powder puff. and started downstairs.
 Halfway down the flight of steps she stopped. From the kitchen came the rich odor of broiling ham. . Dick must be getting supper!
 Glory had a sudden feeling of distaste for the house with its re- minders of last nights hilarity. She wanted to get out of 1t to go somewhere. To a restaurant. Any- where.
 .. Above all she wanted not 10 be alone all evening with Dick.
 She ran into the kitchen.
 Dick had on one of Maggie's ging- ham aprons. He was standing be- fore the stove, brandishing toast ing fork.
 "Oh, take that thing off" Glory cried. "I hate to see a man in an apron, fussing around the kitchen. It doesn't look manly!"
 Dick took off the apron and handed 1t to her.
 Well, if my wife doesn't know how to cook, and won't try to learn to cook, cant starve, can I?" he asked. Somebody's got to get our supper. ."
 T don't suppose it's occurred to you that there are restaurants in this town?" Glory asked saucily. And anyway it's Saturday night . .. we ought to go out and bat around a bit."
 She turned out the gas under the broiler.
 Going out to eat is just twice as expensive as eating at home." said Dick. And, gosh, I'm tired after staying up nearly all last night. I'm all in. as & matter of fact. |. Come on, Glory, be a sport, for once, and say you'll have fried ham sandwich at home!"
 Not chance!" Glory cried. T didn't have any lunch today, and I'm as hungry as a bear. So hitch up the car, old thing, and we'll drive downtown Tor supper. |. And maybe we'll get wild after ward and go 10 a movie, eh wot ?"
 She ran upstairs, whistling as she went.
 Dick stood alone in the bright untidy kitchen.
 He was still shaky from his at- tack of flu" earlier in the week.
 His head and his eyes ached. He was tired to the point of nausea.
 He wondered how he could sit through a restaurant meal and a moving picture show afterward. .
 He put on his hat and went out to the garage to start the car.
 Upstairs in her room Glory was pinning on black lace hat she had bought in Montreal during her honeymoon.
 An, she had not gone wrong on that hat! It was perfect.
 It cast faint shadows under her eyes, and brought out the ivory of her skin.
 She was twice as beautiful in that hat as in any other hat she ever had on her head! And why? Because it had cost twice as much as any other one that she had ever owned.
 Oh, there was no getting away from the fact that anybody could be good-looking who had good looking clothes! and when you had beauty to start with as shet had well. you were just plumb crazy if you didn't insist upon beau tiful clothes to bring 1t out! They were your due. They were her due -. Gloria's! =. And, by jinks, she would have them!
 "Rikky-tikky-tavy," Glory said when they were seated in the Soda Shoppe. q hope you meant what Sou Sdlu tIllS IIlOIAlllb NAcH SOu told me 1 could hire a new maid to take Maggie's place"
 Dick looked up from the dinner menu.
 Why" he asked. You haven't hired one already, have you?"
 Glory nodded.
 q was going to talk 10 you about that. tonight, and it slipped my mind" Dick said. T was going 10 ask you if you could get along with a laundress and cleaning woman for a while. Somehow or other. it's costing us more to live than I figured it would, and I'm no mil lionaire, you know"
 Glory drew lines on the table, cloth thoughtfully.
 i've hired an awfully nice-look ing Swedish girl" she remarked after lime. "She says she can dc all the work in our house"
 Dick gave the waiter the order
