She arranged closets and draw

stocked her shelves with necessities
and, donning a print housedreSs,
spent a glorious afternoon prepar-
ing her first dinner.
And 1t was a success. Arthur
was surprised and delighted, with
the thick broiled steak, the arti-
chokes and mayonnaise, and the
smooth, cold custard, which she
produced proudly as their dessert.
Sitting across the table, he told
himself he was, indeed, fortunate.
Few women were able to combine
the qualities Of a housewife with
those Of beauty and charm.
How would you like to have

"You mean for dinner?"

He came around the table to give
her a kiss, which she accepted, gra-
ciously. She was dramatizing her
self again. Role of the perfect
wife! So she pushed the hair from
his attractive forehead and sighed,
"I1 like to make you as happy as
you have made me-"
Instantly he swept her from the
chair and carried her into the living
room.
ooh, Diana, do you mean that?
Will you love me the way want to

Yet Diana, facing her husband in
the drawing room of the east-bound

emotions were as stitfly unfamiliar
as her new travelling dress.
Excitement which had carried
her through the ceremony, began to

Perhaps that was the trouble, she
thought. If only he would not in

away and give her a chance to
climb back to familiar ground.
He must have understood the dis
may on her face for he said, cas-
ually, "I'll go outside and smoke for
a while. Why don't you go to bed?
I won't disturb you"
She accepted his kiss, grateful
for the respite his words implied.
When he had gone she locked the
door and, hurriedly, unpacked her
travelling bag.
Shivering as she slipped into the
