THE EVENING STORY

! looking into his face she saw tired
| lines.
You've been working too hard at
| the Office" she admonished, squee3-
ing the hand she held. There isn't
thing on for tonight; so we can
read once more"
Jack shrugged his shoulder wear
| lily. I've forgotten what the yarn
was about. We need sleep more than
books. You look positively haggard." :"
| Josephine smoothed her hair. and
then she tried to execute a sprightly
smile. I've got to stuff dates and
make paper baskets tonight. It's my
turn tomorrow to entertain the bridge
club. We've got to return some Of
the hospitality. Friday night. you
know. we're having a little dance"
Jack groaned. "All right, III help
with the dates and baskets" he said
drearily.
SO the Winter proceeded with it's
uninterrupted round Of gayety. The
book that the Dennys had started so
bravely still lay on the table with its
ribbon marker unchanged. There had
simply been no time for reading. The
scales in the bathroom showed that
both Josephine and Jack had lost
weight. The bank account was al
ways overdrawn, and the husband and
wife were often cross with each other,
| with little Johnny and with the faith
| full maid
| One afternoon as Josephine sat in
| the porch swing to await Jack com.
| ing she realized that she was so des-
perately tired that she almost hated
, the little house she and Jack had
built to be so merry in. The thought
of cards made her dizzy; she sickened
at the memory of all the salads and
fancy pastries she had consumed at
parties or laboriously prepared for
the consumption of her guests. Her
throbbing head and burning eyes told
| her that she was ill.,
| When Jack arrived she studied him
| earnestly. There was no sparkle in
| his eye, no elasticity in his step.
We're just dead tired. aren't we,
| dear?" he asked as she kissed him.
And I'm no longer acquainted
with my wife, my baby or my house
