pushed back strand of bright hair, like a
little girl brushing sunlight from her eyes.
Randy smiled, too. I'VE haven't bumped
into each other for long time. We ought to
have drink on it." He handed her a thin
stemmed glass, and raised his own. The old
toast had always been Ito Us" ITO you, he
said
ITO you," she replied slowly
k1E BACKED into his favorite corner and sat
down on the stool beside the refrigerator.
He watched her lift pan-lids. He liked to
watch her fuss over the stove. 1t had always
seemed as if the warmth and crowded inti-
macy of the little kitchenette brought them
close, and melted some of the reserve between
them. Il heard you'd quit your job, he said
She turned.
News gets around fast in the advertising
business. When you called and asked me to
dinner, guessed the reason Frank Wells -
he's asked you to divorce me - and marry
him - hasn't he?"
Jan measured coffee into the percolator,
gravely counting each spoonful. you used
to be good at guessing
Evening star., 1941-06-15

Randy spun the stem of the cocktail glass
between his fingers. Its what you've want
ed" he said, that has always counted with
me. You know that"
She eyed him soberly.
II hope Frank Wells knows what strange
and independent little monkey he's getting"
Randy tried to smile. Il hope he catches on
to all the cues - like, for instance, the way
you used to let me know when it was time to
hand over more money for you and the house
Before we were married you said you'd never
ask any man for money - and you never die"

Moo Not exactly"
q l still think there wasn't anything else
for me to do when Frank Wells offered me my
old desk at the agency"
And there wasn't anything else for me to
do - after you went back to work for him -"
Randy stopped, and drained his glass. He
hadn't meant to open the old wound but he
still thought he'd done the only right thing.
You can't have your wife work for another

he pays her support you. He had packed up
and walked out.
A month later he had landed an art direc-
tors job in new agency. He had waited for
a signal from her. 1t hadn't come. They had
both been too proud - too long
Dinners ready" JAMS bright voice broke
the silence.
She took off her apron, and lifted the roast
from the oven to platter which she set on
the drainboard of the sink. Obediently Randy
stood and carried the platter in to the gate
leg table. He started the return trip for the
vegetables he knew would be waiting out
there, mutely asking to be carried in while
Jan was finishing the salad.
AN OBJECT on the bookcase brought him to
a halt
1t hadn't been there when he had found
the bottles. JAMS pocketbook was perched
there its jaws open like the mouth Of hun
cry bird. That was the way she used to ask
for money
Somebody had his cues mixed. Those days
were over. He was here to tie up the past and
throw it overheard -
His heart began to pound against the foun-
tain pen in his vest pocket, and suddenly he
knew who had muffed cue. He had guessed
wrong about tonight - about the answer
Jan had given Frank Wells. There could be
two reasons why a girl would quit working
for man who asked her to marry him -
but there could be only one reason for that
open purse.
1t was an offer of surrender He could take
it, or he could leave it -
He reached for his wallet with fingers that
trembled. He transferred tendollar bill to
the hungry mouth of that purse then
closed it.
1t could have been the click of the fastener
that brought Jan out of the ktchenette at
that moment carrying the salad bowl. Her
eyes darted furtively toward her purse "a
happy little smile crept into the corners of her
mouth.
They sat down.
Have a hard year at the office, Mr.
Baird?" she asked.
Terrible" He ginned. Simply terrible.
