ralph comes 111 glvr him some ginger ale and somo sandulches if that ion t enough for him he can go down to the drug store at the corner and get an loecrwun soda or something it inn t ahe apologised

often get a chance to eat dinner in a real home ralph had fallen back a trifle from behind the shabby figure of his friend he waa making signs family signs to pnvce orace answered them with a look thatwm both ooldand unfriendly a real home indeed 1 j pit mr said to the guest potluek of the worst sort im afraid why dont the two of you wu there a faint edge of sarcasm in her voice alt down on the p an make yourselves cool anil comfortable per started 111 go in and get -sup- i wont be long n liumskm have dining rooms nowadays aha waajlbout to aet the table with a drab tablecloth that had faded in its first washing and with liar kitchen china when ahe heard the voice or the guest speaking the small porch ran around the side of the dining room and it waa m u mr ames were in the same room his voice wu dear and pleasant and easy to understand vou know ralph mr ames wu saying im completely charmed with your wife as i said to her x spend most of my time in hotels end the sort of youngwives who live in hotels are a depressing lot for an old fogy like me to observe i remember when i wu first married my wire had a checkered dress like your wires and shewore her hair slicked back from her forehead same u your wire does when i aaw orace do you mind if i call her that a lump com up in my throat and i felt as lonesome u lonesome but sort or happy tool tito old man s voice broke suddenly and orace could hear her husband em- barrossedly clearing his throat listen ing with the faded cloth in her hand orace did not know that she wu l wild ing u still as a statue something lu credibly pathetic wu in the old mans statement and something revoallng in it too as orace stood there sh realised its brothers and alatere that are out in the kitchen i ive been putting up jeuy practically ever alnee dawn with the result that ralph and you are being paosltluttsl that she wu punishing a guest for some thing that he had not done she nealu- jerfclly she rose from ttie hammoojc tr all the ruler what wm it she had planned aane or hospitality that housiwlves young or wishes and ginger ale and possibly an old should observe i icecream soda at the corner drug store n thought you understood and ay i dont know how m he gulped again to thank him but x feel oraee that its your biscuits and your jelly- whiw- on the table wu crying only her tears were not the sort of tears ahe had cried on the kitchen table before ahe started preparing dinner they were the happi est tears in the world over her bent head the eyes of the two men met and before ralphs hand stole out to touch tlie- smooth bowed head or his wlffl the older man had winked it had all sounded ideal and yet here ahe was involved in the business of set ting a table and laying out dishes and choosing forks and knives tvrsay noth ing of preparing a meal when there wm nothing tt prepare why on earth did i ever get mar ried she asked herself as she went toward the kitchen lhat she had quitted just a short hour before if ralph un t the most exasperating she broke off short for she had fialned the kitchen and was looking about it at the rown and rows of vivid jelly seeing that jelly nomohow made her uunt to cry it wan

the creamed potatoes vanished and the biscuits afjraad wlui their sweet butter and fresh jelly fairly evaporated when at but the three diners had reached the fruit cake and coffee stage the dusk had fallen and it waa necessary to light the candles as they sat cosily in the mellow light of those candles mr ames drew a long breath and spoke young woman hcaald to orace you ve changed my ideu about modern married couples wlwm i do what im going to do for your ralph it ii be just too bad i because then hell be able to afford a maid and maybe if you have a maid vou won t prepare many more meals
