1T know, Arthur, but I was so

know, arthur, put was SO
lonely"
Arthur Knight looked down on
his young wife for moment, study
ing the depths of her blue eyes.
Then he raised her head, holding
her chin in his two hands, and
kissed her lips tenderly.
81 don't want you to be lonely,
Judith he said. 1--WE must do
something about that"
Instantly she was regretful. Ar
thur Knight had done everything in
the world for her and here she was
complaining!
ooh, it was a silly thing to dol"
she told him. 'I didn't mean to be
so late. I meant to get here before
you did. But, anyhow, I shouldn't
have gone skating on the children's
pond. 1 won't do it any more. Ar
thur.
People will begin to think you've
got a very funny wife! And there
are lots and lots of other things for
me to amuse myself. Gracious -
why I've got everything in the
world"
She shot him a quick, sparkling
smile, then turned and ran up the
stairs to dress.
XKTHEN they we're at the table a
w little later Arthur brought up
the subject of redecorating the
house.
Il thought you we're going to fix
this place up a bit, Judith" he re-
minded her. Hadn't you better be
getting that job started?
You'll find it takes the workmen
long enough, once they get house
torn up. Why don't you go in town
tomorrow and look over some truck
to decide what you want?"
Judith knew he was thinking that
redecorating their home would give
her something to occupy the time.
Ever since Arthur Knights son had
made the scene over the broken vase
the girl had put change in the
houses furnishings out of her mind.
at may take quite a lot of
money" she said hesi5antly.
well, I guess I can manage that
all right. We want the place fixed
up in flrst-class shape-dont we,
Tony? Want to show we're up to
date"
She set eagerly to work on the
task next day. Judith knew exactly
what she wanted for her home. The
exterior of the house was colonial
and she admired early American
furniture and fabrics.
She wanted to blend old-time
pieces with modern things and give
them an air of comfort. She wanted
color and brightness, too, about the
place.
To achieve this required many
conferences with professional deco
ratorS.
The old walnut furniture which
stood in Judith's own room was to
be stored in safe, dry quarters over
the garage. The room was to be
done over completely with tones of
blue, ivory and raspberry predomi-
mating.
Judith felt she was going to enjoy
that room very much. 1t was the
only one in the house in which
modernistic furnishings would be
used exclusively.
Tony announced she was salts
fed with her French boudoir and
wanted no changes. Arthur Juniors
bedroom was to remain exactly the
same. Judith had her own reasons
for not tampering with Juniors
quarters. The task of doing the
house over, begun in January. was
not completed until early March.
Andy Craig's first invitation to
dinner at the Knight home was
followed by another and yet an
other. Arthur sang the young
mans praises continually and Cu-
dith stated quite openly that she
enjoyed his company. Tony was the
one who could not be counted upon.
There were Saturdays when Tony
in high good humor, set of in hel
own buff -colored roadster with Andy
Craig beside her for hours on the
golf course of Knights exclusive
club.
There were evenings when she re-
manned at home, sweetly affable
listening to radio music and con-
versations between Andy. her father
and Judith.
There were other times when the
young man telephoned or stopped at
the house when Tony Knocked him
turned her back on him, and scofed
at his ideas Of entertainment.
Judith wanted TO box the girls
ears more than once for such
antics.
In spite Of this abuse Craig con-
