''ARE You MY WIFE?''
BY OCTAVUS ROY COHEN
Illustrated by tkury Timmins

ton, they'd said, He was coming home know
ing everything remembering nothing. The
whole town had pledged itself to help. 1t was
going to be fun, in way. Folks wondered
whether Ann felt that it would be.
Ann didn't. She was devoutly grateful that
Bill was we'll physically. but there was some
thing else that worried her. Since he couldn't
remember anything that happened before,
he certainly wouldn't remember that at the
time he had enlisted, they'd agreed to get
divorce.
FORTUNATELY no one else knew about that.
Bill was young and good-looking and ire
sponsible, and he had (as the town described
it) all the money in the world. Ann hadn't
had anything much except good family back
ground before her marriage. Since then she'd
had everything that money could buy But
not much else.
She'd tried to make 60 of it, but her best
efforts had come up zero. 1t was one thing to
joke about personable, wealthy young man
and indulgently call him lovable screwball
and something else to be married to him.
She realized she was just another gadget in
his luxurious life: decorative, companion
able, correct and not too important.

1t had been fun at first. He was generous,
attentive, never serious. He'd built huge
home for her, put her in it, and let it go at
that.
They'd had few exquisite moments in
that home She remembered the way he used
to play the piano. He wasn't fine pianist,
but he liked to sit and strum. And she enjoyed
it - not because the music was good - but
because of the domestic touch.
His playing meant something else, too.
There were times when they d gotten on each
others nerves, when he'd been too wild, too
careless. Generous in admitting fault, he'd
handle it in his own peculiar way. He'd sit
down at the piano and play Hearts and
Flowers" Corn. Right off the cob. The fact
that he used such tune made it an apology
with a smile. But there were too many apollo
gies, too many smiles Finally she realized
they couldn't make a 60 of it.
HE war, and his immediate enlistment,
put an end to the divorce plans. He trained
in the South and eventually his outfit moved
to England. He hadn't had much combat
service. Just forty-eight hours of concentrated
torment And then this. ..

She showed him his room, and then went
to her own. 1t was after five o'clock before
she went to Sleep.
Starting after breakfast, life settled into
routine The doctor dropped in and had
chat with Bill. He explained that the towns
folk were all in on this. and that Bill wasn't
to feel any sense of embarrassment.
As the days passed. Ann knew that Bill
was bucking his problem. She was facing
problem, too She was sorry for him, just as a
normal person cannot fail to be sorry for some
one else who is not entirely normal On that
count alone, she wanted him to recover the
memory he had left in Normandy. But be-

agreed it was just like a movie. Up to
now they'd believed things like that could
only happen to screen celebrities like Ronald
Colman and William Powell. But here it
was in real life, happening to one of their own;
happening to Bill Vain.
Bill Vain, whose family owned half the
county, was coming back from Normandy.
He was Corporal Vain (Which was absurd
because he certainly could have been at least
a colonel if he'd wanted) and bit of shell
