Unfortunately, her husband
never developed the same dis
ease. He was a Woodworking
gentleman who drove a re-
spectacle truck and was ex-
tremely tired when he reached
his home in the evenings. The
movies meant absolutely moth
ing in his life. AS far as he
was concerned, Helen Twelve
trees was a resort in New Jer-
sey. And the only reason he
remembered the name of CheVa-
lier was because it sounded to
him like an automobile.
With these facts as a back
ground, you can sense the be-
ginning of a fearful domestic
tragedy. AS soon as dinner was
over, his wife would toss the
dishes into the sink and at
tempt to drag her mate to the
neighborhood theater. The first
two or three times, he was a
willing companion. But after
that he began to grow tired of
1t all.
