very tired puC they were never
 Had thoir been any doubt about their being perfectly suited to each other thu trip they made to Palm Beach would have bnntahcd it, They went In March because they could get their vacations together then, and they went by bus b0. cause Harry got passes. What with rates nt tho hotels and pasbet on all the excursions tho bus line ran out Of Palm Beach they man aged n flno time onu n little money.
 Still, they were exposed to all tho discomfortB and annoyancea that any travel, even tho most luxurious, entails, and yot they emerged without q single quarrel
 Nevcreholcss, the Palm Beach trip did something to Lois that Harry had not counted on. lt firei her with m ambition to travel. AL most as soon as they arrived home she began making plans for their next vacation. She t0yed With several places--Atlantlc City, Yel- lowBtonh, and finally Los Angclca.
 "You get farther from home base nll the tlmc," observed Harry.
 ,'Oh, I'd like to 20 far Away!" erlod Loir, "rd like to cross the oCcan!"
 Harry made no comment hut NJ. cretly ho experienced terPible jolt. Ii0 hated travelling. Until he went Co Palm Beach ho had never been farther away from Chicago than Cleveland and to tell the truth, hc had never wanted to be.
 Aftor a while tho travel fever seemed to dlo down In Lois; ht least she stopped talking about all tho plncos shod like to 20; and then suddenly, without tho least warning, Bho exploded q ,b0fnbshcll,
 You know what?" sho said one day looking drenmily out the win. dow. "l'd like 10 go to Germany"
 "0ormany!" repeated Harry, as though she had nnmed q country on another planet. For heavens sake, whatever put that Into your hsadw
 "Oh, nothing," responded Lois. "Pve just always thought I'd liko Co 20 10 Germany"
 Now ihlH was entirely false. Un. til two weeks before, when she and Harry had seen a motion picture with Q German locals, Lois had never thought Of Germany except aB n country that tho United states had 0nie had war with; sinhe then, however, she had decided thut Germany was q place she had al- ways wanted to visit.
 Even so pronounced R visionary hB Lois knew that R trip of such magnitude couldn't oven bo consid. cred as possibility for years and years, if, Indeed, ever; but she liked to talk about it and, because hO wanted 10 please Lois, Harry talked about it too.
 And So they talked about going to Germany, They talked about it so much and NO often that Harry actually caught himself dovislng mad schemes of how It might Do aeeom mplished; not, of e0urse, be. ca use he wanted to go, but becn use Lois was dead on it,
 Since he couldn't take her to Germany ho did tho next best thing. lie brought home brightly eolorod travel folders filled with glowing descriptions; he brought h0f trinkots stamped with tho words Made in Germany; h0 even learned from their janit0r a few German prhases, principally those having to do with love. His most ingenious bit of work, however, was writing Lois n letter and giv. ing to m obliging couple to mall when they reached Germany.
 Ho was so pleased thinking of Lois surprise and delight when, several weeks later, sh0 received letter bearing G German Dobt- mark that that evening ho almost forgot to stop At the bakery an1 pick up tho date t0rtos that Lois wanted for supper.
 When he reached home, Lois wAh already bustling around in tho kitchen looking flushed, excited and prottier oven than her wont. He kisscd her four consecutive times for looking SO pretty, and then she gave him n playful shove,
 "FJOllA'S GIVING 4
 PARTY TONIGHT"
 "Gucss what!' she exclaimed,
