The change in him started in a
month. His smile was little less
ready, his laughter little thin.
Worry showed family at the back
of his eyes. She could ask no ques-
tions; could only hope he'd speak
of his own accord. Once, after sec
ond drink, he did. 1t wasn't that he
was blaming his wife. She must un-
derstand that. A girl has right to
keep up her old friends after she's
married. The trouble was, he and
her old friends didn't get along. At
least, he didn't get along with them.
They were phonies - shallow and
superficial. They were silly, but
never funny with their hand-me-
down type of humor. Even after
three drinks, the best response he
could manage was a polite chuckle
