your husband just have to pull to-

Will and I were surprised to sec the
way Phil seemed to take hold. Just
hearing Mrs. Coates talk about him. I'd
got the feeling that he was terribly lazy
and selfish. But he was as proud OF
that new bungalow as a child with a
new wagon, and as far as 1 could see
he was as good about helping Marice
with the place and the baby as any OF
the other young husbands.

supper one evening. and if there wasn't
Phi moving the lawn! Wills an awful
tease. and he couldn't resist kidding
Phil about it.
Thought you moved so you wouldn't
have lawn to cut?" he said.
Phil grinned kind OF sheepishly.
Don't look so bad, does she?" He
turned to Will confidentially.
There wasn't any comfort doing
anvthing around the big house " he
said. because I never did el.vthing
right. The old gentlemen was always
nagging at me, Have you oiled the

You know how it is
Phil looked down at their shiny, new
lawn mower.
1T seems to make all the difference
in the world" he said thoughtfully,
when it's your own lawn mower you're
oiling."
TT was righG then that it dawned on
me that what had happened was a
good thing. Not only for Mrs. Coates;
it was going to be the best of all for
Phil and Marice.
But what wondered was what Betty
was going to do, left in the big house
with two men to keep house for.
Though as it turned out she didn't

bors' house.

are at it on religion" Will hazarded.
We couldn't hear any of the words,
but as Will said, you couldn't miss the
tune. You could tell that from mere
general religious discussion, it was get
ting more and more personal.
CCGDENLT the voices reached an
angry pitch in which we could al
most hear the words. Then they stop
ped suddenly. We could hear the front
door slam, and a minute later saw
Phil Striding off down the sidewalk as
though he never meant to come back.
1t must have been an awful row.
But neither of us had any idea of
how serious the quarrel really had been.
The next morning / saw Marice on the

You always hear people say that no
house is big enough for two families,
