The China Pig
By Mary Elizabeth Troy

ITO make you realize that our affairs
are in a very serious state
Flip. wanting to look pretty and gay
for the football game for which all
their plans had been made some weeks
back. stifled an impulse to burst into
ruinous tears. She had risen that
morning to a Bill gone berserk be-
cause there was no hot water for his
shave and TO her own discovery that
the only pair of stockings she owned
without a run in them were the wrong
color.
Getting no reply to his last state
ment. Bill went on with his remarks.
Flip buttered a piece of toast in silence.
Tears were close to her eyes. driven
there by a tricky sentimental memory.
She was remembering the time, just
before they were married. when Bill
came to her proudly with a thing he
called a budget. I'm case" his man.
ner said plainly. you should get the
idea I'm not aware of the seriousness
of marriage" The budget encom-
passed house rent, food, fuel. light,
telephone. service, and sundries.
What" Flip had asked, looking at
the neat figures a~dmiringly, ARE sun
dries?"
"Theaters, concerts. books. flowers
lollipops, and other pleasantries," Bill
had answered. without sundries mar
riages go on the rocks. I've seen them
do it. Ours is going to be different.
Obviously Bills budget had not
enough slack to include the electric
refrigerator, the baby grand piano, and
practically all the furniture. All these
things had slid into the house easily
on the creased skids of one payment

years model, but very smart. Bill hac

1t turned out to be ravenous Of ga
and oil and tires. 1t also whirled then
off to places where. without it, they
would not have thought of going. i
paralyzed the budget.
The nice gentleman who had beame6
upon the happy young home makers
saying, Let US furnish your home,
began to show a grisly eagerness t.
unfurnish it. Both Flip and Bill, hur
and bewildered by the behavior of thu
once friendly world of supply, developed
nerves and squeamishness and a fever
ish need for more sundries to remove
the curse.
They were no longer able to stant
