He was emptyinE ash-trays,
helping, as usual. to clear things ,ip
for the night.
He didn't look at her; nor did he
seem to want to discuss it.
Nina followed him into the
kitchen.
New suit come today?" he
asked, presently, and when she
nodded: Good. Go put itlon, Hon.

He had successfully put her of.
There was nothing to do but
show him the new tailleur.

The next morning David woke
up with a nice case Of the sniffles.
ITO hell with selling automo-
biles," he said-only il was: "atfto-
boobies" 'Tm going to stay
home and recover!"

Nina was too happy for words.
The dawning of new day, the
thought of having him to herself
for so long, his evident good hui
NOR $. all helped to dispel her
fears Of the night before.
She watched and lowered and
felt so near to this adorable cop
per-headed creature in yellow pa
jamas, that she really longed to
tell him everything So that
there would be absolutely nothing
between them =.
II was terrible thing, she de-
cided. to be newly in love, and
quite unable to tell the loved one.

was some minutes before It
came over her that he really did
want TO be let alone.
He made It sound as though he
were playing with her :. but he
really wasn't.
Hey-go squeeze dozens of
oranges. Get me some aspirin.
Bring me another pillow. Lay off!
I'm sick man. / want serVicel"
But he meant 1t, and to Nina Il
was tragedy.
Oracle Stays For Lunch
CHE dressed herself, and went to
~ work. and talked very little.
There was nothing to be hurt
over.
They had been married over six
months, and he had nasty cold,
and every right to be grumpy :.
although he wasn't even that.
But Nina was a prey to sensitive
ness, with her conscience troubling
her, and her new love demanding
TO be proclaimed.
He might have noticed her ST.
lenee. but he didn't. He was silent
himself.
He only became animated over
the telephone. when Oracle called

And than she went in 20 David,

And he said: Thanks, pal.
