wryly but his eyes were serious.
1--WE seen so much Of this sort
Of thing. darling, and it doesn't
work.
Two people who are married
should grow closer together. not
farther apart and the only
way two people can grow close
together is by being mutually in
dependent. This way, we'd be
mutually independent. We'd have
to be. When q man is supporting
q home and q woman is making
it, they're both working toward
the same end their interests
meet at a given point and merge.
But when the man and woman
are both supporting the home
the chances are there isn't any
home. There's Just place where
they meet at the end Of the day
to eat and sleep. A marriage
has to grow slowly but surely. and
the only way it can is when two
peoples interests are so closely
welded that to remove one is to
destroy the other. know" he
finished haltingly, his eyes embar-
rassed, that all this sounds
pretty old-fashioned and senti-
mental, and the worst sin our
generation can commit Is to be
either; but I've been thinking
about this q lot and know I'm
right. If you take this job with
Sherman, darling, we'll grow so
far apart inside of a couple of
years that we'll be sending each
other kilograms in order to eStab-
lish communication. :"
Don't be an idiot" Ann was
laughing at him but her voice was
reluctantly uncertain Of itself.
She was thinking that perhaps
Kipp was right. He was certainly
right about this job Of Lewis be-
ing q full-time job. It would be
that and more. Especially this
first year the important year.
After that -. But after that it
might be too late. This was also
the first year Of her marriage
the important year again
they had survived it beautifully
so far: but If Kipp hadn't landed
this job just when he did. they
might not have.
She looked at him slowly, her
eyes frowning. She said, speaking
thoughtfully: Perhaps you're
right, Kipp. I'm not sure you are
-. I'm not sure we couldn't make
a magnificent success Of things
even if I kept on working but
maybe we couldn't. Some people
seem to be able to; and others
don't. Why not leave it this wayr
I won't give Lewis q definite an

land. BY that time you'll know
whether your job is permanent or
not. If it is, we'll move out into
the country somewhere and you
can commute and I can have q

Ann saw Lewis at his office and
told him how things were. She
said: And much as I'd like to
take the job, Lewis, I hope Kipp
keeps his instead :"
Lewis chill, ice-blue eyes were
