SMITH Phone 657-R-l THE table was laid for dinner, which they always had at midday on Saturday. The light streamed in at the windows nnd fell full on the tnble, with Its lace mats, Its pretty dishes, its big, yellow bowl of pussy-willows, then it traveled in a long, yellow s-liaft over the polished, rugless floor, to the fireplace, where a small fire blazed contentedly. Robert White came swinging up the garden path and Into the little hall of the bungalow. Dora, his wife, came out of the kitchen nnd kissed him. "You're enrly, Robert." "I am going to meet Sam on the course at half-past two. Is dinner ready?" She nodded and went hfcek Into the kitchen. He came back In plus fours and took his seat at the table. It was a chilly day In the early spring and every window In the bungalow stood open to the breezes. He rubbed his hands together to warm them and shut six of the windows in the dining room. "I am hungry." He looked hopefully up as the maid came Into the room, then whimsically at the fruit glass she set before him. He took up his spoon and pushed it rather viciously into the fruit The maid removed the dishes and put before them a soup. That was like Dora's mealb--perfectly served, but which somehow left one as hungry at the end as at the beginning; and that forenoon Robert had had before him the mental picture, tantalizing, tormenting of a dish of chops jnd cauliflower with butter sauce. He could smell it now. The steam curled up, savory, appetizing; the chops (large and Juicy) oozed fragrance, and, In reality, on his plate was a tiny piece of meat, surrounded by boiled rice. Chops! Large and juicy, but above all large. That was what his soul cried out for. He swallowed involuntarily and looked across the table at his wife. He had a sense of humor, fortunately, besides adoring Dora, and he knew that it was the subconscious effort to live up to her exotic ideas that Dora kept house like this. Chops and cauliflower did not go with them, but be dig wish (at mealtime) that She had plainer Ideas, something like his old-fashiofied mother. mother had been an unrivaled cook. He could smell those meat pies right now. When Dora married she had swo^p a mighty oath that never on her fable should there be seen a *J#ak or kidney pie. Ali&o t&&t ^ousekeerTng ghould t>f esthetic. It was. She did not sec that her nose was getting a £lue tinge and that Robert was steadily getting thinner. Robert helped himself frox^. the dish of pineapple salad presented at ^!s eft>ow by ijp ngat He d|p- 11kpineapples always, out e*I«cial- Iy today. He took another cap of coffee and suprlsed Dora by demanding another glass of milk. He returned to his coffee and, glancing across the table, bis smoldering Irritation--the Irritation of a hungry man--grew at the sight of the yellow bowl. A stupid trifle to bring to a head his smoldering anger, but when the fate of an empire is decided because of the tilt of a woman's nose the mere fact of a yellow bowl of pussy-willows being on a bungalow table is quite sufficient to wreck a happy home as surely as dynamite. "That bowl again 1" he snapped. "Yes." Dora's eyes snapped. "I soppose," she said In a voice upon which Ice sparkled, "that you would prefer me to use that*---that Bulgarian atrocity that your mother landed on vs.* It was out! Ignoring the reference to the "Bulgarian atrocity," which was his own nickname for the bowl in question, Robert breathed hard. These unfortunate yellow bowls! One a gift from Dora's aunt, the other from Robert's mother. The one from Dora's aunt was Satsuma, thin and aristocratic. Dora liked to look at it across the table, whereas the other one was plebeian, but a jolly, rollicking plebeian. But Robert had loved It since he was four years old. "I wish that you would leave mother out of it," he said coldly. "Anyway, I am going there for supper tonight I am hungry for a decent meal." "I would not have been in, In anjr esse," returned Dora swiftly, untruthfully. "I am going to mother's." He swung out of the room and Dora sat down and stared at the floor. r So this was marriage! To this end she had tolled and planned and carried out menus, to make home beautiful. She looked at the clock. Moth er and dad always lunched late on Saturday. At this hour they would be at that meal in the large dining room. Her mother's cooking was superb, without Imagination. She could almost smell the good brown gravies she made. Apple tart and cream! And they both loved ginger soaps-- did mother and dad. She looked at her own dining room, ultramodern and hygienic to the letter. All veryt correct, and, though Dora would not admit It, about as .homelike as a railroad statlonf Robert shut the door behind him With a bang. • > . Dora went to her room and put en her best gown, for she wanted moral support, and one's best clothes can always be relied on for that Before going out she looked into the kitchen. The Are was burning. In the pantry was the usual confusion--Just like her maid. And the maid herself eating everything up. "How could she eat like that?" muttered Dora. Her mother rose to meet her when she entered the old dining room and said: "My, Dora, you look thin I What a nice hat I Is Robert coming in for you later?" "He's golfing. I thought I'd come over myself," said Dora in a bright tone, so bright her mother looked at her bharply. Tea was brought In and Dora ate a meal that reassured her mother. No fairy wafers, no sandwiches that required only two bites. Oh, how good It tasted! She had not eaten a meal like that since her marriage. It was seven o'clock when she left the house and mother stood at the door and looked after her. There was laughter and understanding In her look. Dora did not go straight home, bnt went to the market district. She bought chops*--honest, hearty chops, not French cutlets, If you please! She bought a huge cauliflower. She bought bacon, eggs and to crown It all a large market basket Sbe let herself In her home and started the fire. The maid bad gone out "What on earth?" Robert's amazed voice at the.door made her turn from the hissing pan of fried potatoes. "Having a party?" He walked in and laid down liis clubs. She opened her mouth to ask why he had riot gone to "mother's," but wisdom closed it for her before the words were spoken. "No; mother had to go out this evening and I thought you would be hungry on a cool day like this." "Dinner 1" Robert looked around the kitchen and sniffed rapturously. "Did I hear you say dinner?" he asked, swallowing. "Yes. Aren't you hungry?" "Hungry?" he shouted. "Stop me in the street and* ask me. Do I see fried potatoes?" He bent over the pan. "Where's the cloth? Let me set the table." He set to work. Facing him were the two huge yellow bowls. He glanced around him, but Dora was bending over the grill. Dora had prepared this feast for him. Taking up a hammer, he gravely struck the uglier of the bowls exactly in the center, and, as if done b^ machinery, two accurate halves of broken china stared at him. He returned to the kitchen. Dora was dishing up the buttered cauli' fiower and she spoke: "I thought the one bowl would do beautifully for vegetables." ftm ffrald, my dear," he began; "I am afraid I have broken one of them." hftfl done the trick. jKy'fc jgjSS wgifc dwjcLng, Jmt Qjgre was a stinging look there, too. Robert had tried to break the yellow bowl, for hej sake. Whqt a dear he afi<! wliat a ffltle boy, after all. She looked at the br°ken bowl, but time It looked like ah old friend. "Dora, if you like, f!l give the dratted thing back to mother. I am so sorry I broke the wrong bowl," he said shamefacedly. "Would you like another piece oc pie?" she asked.

By midweek the money given them by their fathers was running low and they met two fair damsels and dated them for a dance that night before the realization came to them that they could not carry out their part of the evening's festivities unless their purses were replenished.
