A sigh of pure pleasure es-
IL capped Dora. "It's absolutely
lovely. I never thought, Jack,
we'd have a sedan to start married lie
with"
I'VE have it a month ahead of time,
hon. I just made the plunge and I
got the first payment together. We're
only young once. Now we can show
some hospitality to all the folks who
have been entertaining us during our
engagement. AS we're going to board
the first year, dinners downtown would
set us back some; So cover charges
count up. Think, too. of the Sundays

While he rambled on, scarcely aware
of what he said because of the thrill OF
owning q new, shining sedan, Dora was
| testing the rich-covered cushions and
pushing back and forth the hot-lever
that would make starting in zero
weather easy. There was gas gauge
and a clock and a speedometer on the
glass Enclosed instrument board, be-
sides the up-to-the- minute lighting sys-
tenn. Everything that Dora. had ever
seen advertised in moderate priced cars
was there.
II hardly hoped we could get Sec
ond-hand fiivver." she murmured.
What about the insurance."
That's included in the carrying
charge; fire and theft ~.
Fine! Then if you happen to injure

"Oh, shan't bother with liability.
I'm not going to run into plate-glass
window and haven't the least inten-
ton of driving over any child"-Jack
squared his shoulders and shot q dis
approving look at the unexpectedly
practical Dora-"I know how to drive"
IT know you do. But, Jack, there's
always the other fellow to think about.
Do get out some liability
If the silky little Pomeranian playing
with a ball on the terrace had sud-
denly risen on his hind feet and exc
cuted the BLACK Bottom" dance, Jack
could not have been more surprised nor
more irritated He had, indeed plunged
when he bought the car. and he felt
that Dora was just trifie ungrateful
in her comments.
when the car is paid for and I take
out insurance I may include liability,
but that's year away. Don't begin to
nag now, before we're even married"
ne burst out, watching her sober face.
"Just leave business matters to me.
I'm accustomed to it. Bring out your
banjo and Wen spin out along the
river"
Lets not take any one this first
trip"
"Of course we won't" he agreed, glad
to drop the subject. ...
Ind between the moonlight drive and
the praise given by friends they met
who examined the big, low-pressure
tires and four-wheel brakes with in
terest the evening passed jovially.
you're going to order your fur coat
tomorrow, aren't you, Dora?" asked her
chum later as they met at a dancing
place.
"I may not get it. after ALL" said
Dora thoughtfully. II really don't need
q new one, and though I'd planned for
