she thought. He might decide to
take me to the psychopathic ward
instead of to Halls"
In the taxi Elaine's feet began to
grow cold. What II this crazy thing
she was doing should jeopardize
Mortys entire future? What II he
became mortaily angry at her and
sued for divorce?
Rigid with horror, Elaine thought OF
the people she would encounter at the
party. Mrs. Dudley Dufresne. who
was always so punctiliously correct.
Mrs. Howard Braxton, who-but why
60 on? She had crossed her Rubicon
and she stubbornly refused to 60
back
Halls Jap admitted her to the apart
ment and took her things without
q flicker of amusement, but Japs
were like that.
Squaring her shoulders and hold
ing her chin high, Elaine entered the
living room. A patter Of applause
greeted her and she surveyed the
scene with startled eyes. The room
was full Of Madame Pompadours.
Pierrots, Pierrettes and Robin Hoods.
Near by stood the correct Mrs. Du-
fresne dressed as a gypsy.
My dear!" cried Mrs. DufreSne
How very original"

happened to be q Senator ap-

ANY woman who can look so utterly
charming in kid curriers' and a ging-
ham house dress certainly deserves a
prize!"
Poor Elaine could only manage a
weak smile. Morty. in bed sheet,
was buzzing in her ear.
How did you know" he asked.
Know what?"
THAT 1t was to be a costume party?
1 forgot to tell you. Forgot all about
1t until ! got here. Johnston made

thing be fairer than that?
1t may yet be necessary to call
in Prof. Einstein to elucidate it. If
he can explain his theory of relativ-
ity-and the professor still asserts he
can--he might be willing to tackle the
job.
Anyhow, the ultimate outcome-and
in this connection I certainly like

for Elaine when. in the course Of one
week, Morty did three things, absent
mindedly, that were Of nature to
impair the Brooks social standing
seriously. To his office In Washington
he wore a badly soiled suit of clothes
that Elaine had put out to be sent to
the cleaner.
To a dance at the Columbia Coun-
try Club he wore q pair Of house
slippers.
Lacking a necktie worthy Of the
name, he faithfully promised his wife
that he would buy some.
That evening he came home with
a new set of golf clubs, but no neck
ties, so they had to play bridge with
the most fastidious couple they knew.
while Morty wore necktie that looked
like piece of badly used stair carpet.
ELAINE felt despair creeping over
- her. When Morty had gone to
work the morning after the bridge
party, she sat before her mirror and
conferred with herself while putting
her soft brown hair into kid curriers'
She never wore the curriers' at night,
because even after five years she
didn't want Morty to see her with
little knobs all over her head.
Why" she asked herself, as she
combed and twisted. don't do
something absent-minded? Some
thing so terribly, shockingly absent
minded that Morty would always re-
member it. and pull himself together
whenever he was tempted to lapse
into absent -mindedness?"
A good idea, baSically. but how to
apply it? Elaine thought hard. What
was there she could do that would
shock her husband sufficiently to
effect a cure?
The last kid curler was wound ur
and Elaine took her hand mirror to
see if all her back hair had been
gathered. Whenever she looked at
herself in the curriers' she wanted to
snicker. She looked so ridiculous
Fortunately her hair curled easily,
and so a few hours a week were all
that was necessary.
If any one ever saw me this way
they'd laugh right out loud" she
unused. Il really look funnier than
Morty did in his house slippers at the
country club the other night"

SUDDENLY Elaine found herself
- gasping at the audacity of an idea
that had just occurred to her. The
most shocking thing she could do!
OF course! A pity she had never
thought of it before. But did she have
the courage to carry it through?
Trembling at her own temerity
and giggling at the Stiffness Of the
thing, Elaine made her plans. This
evening there was Hallam Johnston

Tam, presently sitting opposite him
in little restaurant, paused for one
more serious word.
Mary, George. What if he drags
her in?"
He won't" said George. I'm dis
trict attorney-elect, after all, and I
can tip off some of those fellows at
the Jail, and the press, too. I'd be
sorry to nave to do it, for there's
sort of danger in having thing
like that whispered about, but that
doesn't worry me much. And then
