As far as I'm concerned there are
few 70 whom il matters, but you
dear. have so many friends in the
city that 1t IS bound 20 cause CON-
plications."
I'm thinking of my position" she
said. Wen announce it later.
With this Dick had 10 be content.
Il ACH morning he drove 10 1.-THE
Il job before 1880 Eve, in her
smart black business clothes, board
ed an o'clock trolley. She never
+ glanced at the morning Times until
she reached the older district of the
city. where the streets were lined
with stores and Office buildings.
Instead. she looked at the beau
tiful homes along the boulevard
over which she rode Eve wondered
about the people and was sure she
could never be contented until she
had such a home. The apartment
at the hotel would do. however, she
I told herself, until she and Dick
could afford a home like one of
\ those.
Her promotion at the Office had
not brought with IL the satisfaction
Eve had expected She had not
realized how much Alice Marshall
/ had smoothed her way and made
/ things easy for her.
Eve was particularly annoyed by
Barnes habitual hardness in decid-
ing how much space was to be de-
voted TO each advertisement. This
delay often made it necessarT for
her TO prepare her copy at a speed
making careful work impossible. In
/ evitably, there came a day when
she was obliged to remain an hour
overtime.
True, Barnes and Arlene also were
detained, but that did not lessen
Ewes resentment. She knew that il
Barnes had been prompt, the work
easily could have been completed
by $50. the stores closing hour.
! Eve was anxious not TO give Dick
/ any cause to resent her work. She
suspected that secretly he cher.
ished an ideal of a home keeping
wife who would be watching for
him at the window when he came
each evening.
Dicks work kept him outdoors
much OF the time and he always ar
rived with a healthy appetite. Eve
seldom was ready for dinner before
T. This evening it was nearly 8
but Dick did not complain.
Saturday night came and the no.
tel held its weekly dinner dance
Eve wore the gown of pale gold
lace that she had worn on her visit
to the night club in New York with
Theron Reece.
AS she turned from the mirror
she called to Dick: I'm so happy
dear! 1 think this is the most ado
rable place to live. And love dress
ing for dinner"
II would be nice if we could stay
on here, Dick agreed. But I sup
pose since tomorrow is Sunday, we
can drive around and try to To-
cate a place to settle in"
COMMITTING froze in Eve. She
- asked, ever so quietly, what
Dicks plans were.
We'll have to find a place within
my income" he told her.
But we have two incomesl"
We're not counting on anything
you may earn Dick announced
with finality. Your money is
yours TO do with as you please. If
were you I'd bank that money.
You may do as you like. however.
Ill never question you about it.
But l am going to support our
home on my income and I will
endeavor TO add to our savings each
payday"
Eve was not in the most pleasant
frame OF mind as they descended
TO the dining room. She had been
enjoying the luxury of the last week
and saw no reason why she and
Dick should not combine their in
comes and continue this mode of
living which, she felt. would leave
them free from the petty cares of
the average young married couple.
Dick" she began after the
waiter took their order. Il don't
want 10 argue, but it seems only fair
TO remind you that We agreed
marriage is a f1fty-fifty proposition.
SO want to pay my share"
Successful marriage always is a
fifty-fifty proposition. Dick agreed
But that doesn't necessarily apply
TO finances the way you mean. I
should say it is important for each
always to meet the other half way.
What I mean is. turn for turn and
fair play"
Eve recalled Dicks noncommittal,
MN" each time she had thought
she had scored a victory.
She took her cue and said. Lets
have a marriage free from quarrels.
too, Dick. Each Of us will always
think Of the others side of the
question. won't we?"
That's the only kind of a mar
rage 1 will have" he answered with
emphasis.
Eve was determined to enjoy the
present and let the future take care
OF itself. No need 10 hurry in To-
eating another apartment. She
would meet that unpleasant con-
tingency when it arrived.
So she smiled brightly and said.
In the meantime on with the
dance"
THEY danced between courses.
Il 1t was not until after they had
finished dinner that Eve saw The
ron Reece.
He had Just entered the dining
room with a vivacious looking girl.
The couple lost no time in getting
on the dance floor Recess glance
swept the restaurant. and he saw
Eve at once.
She looked away. but the crowd
was not large and before the dance
was concluded she was forced to re-
turn Recess nod of recognition.
