At times like that she would help
direct the conversation into pleasant

the unemployment question. But it
was only natural that it did come
up. People could not speak long with
out mentioning the thing that af-

did, it was sheer torture.

That was funny. Hard day at the

again. Oh, if he only knew how he
looked in that apron.
"You know" he said, "I had to
change Jimmy from head to foot this
morning. He fell in the mud"
He laughed heartily, looked at her
for mutual enjoyment. But she did
not laugh. Instead, she felt irritated,
felt like asking whether Mrs. Jones,
next door, had had luck with her
