NETTA S3 $ FANNIE SHE bad ever thought about It all In that light, Netta would probably hare thought the problem of her marriage unique. As a matter of fact. It was such a universal problem that It Is not at all unlikely that In the 45 Identical houses, five rooms, sleeping porch, built-in washtubs, that occupied tbe little suburba® street where sbc had her home and being, there was a startling repetition of her self-same problem a. Netta had been married for six (years. There were no children. Her husband was an architect, with offices In tbe city. He was junior partner In a growing but not large concern and was a nice, clean, average example of a little community of men who get the 8:10 train at the little stucco station six mornings a week. If he was a rather deadly average as to his politics, his religion, his credos, his pastimes, his home llf* neither he nor Netta realised it. The fly that fell Into the ointment tf the average married life of this average American couple, living the standardised routine of the hundreds of thousands of other couples, appeared rather suddenly in the sixth year of what might well be called a congenial marriage. Suddenly It came over Netta, whose interests in her pretty little home were normal ones, whose activities in her little suburban community werte neighborly ones, whose prettiness had rather increased since her marriage than diminished-- suddenly It came over this energetic | little wife In her snug little home, in her snug little suburban development, that she was married to a husband. It came over Netta one morning as she stood In front of her little dressing table, with her bare arms raised In the act of brushing her smooth coiffure of bobbed hair, that she had no lover. It was five and one-half years since the young architect, Frailer Maughm, to whom she was married, had so much as commented on any of the personable qualities that €5eatrol of Red Crow had seemed to capture him during« The American Red Cross Is char- the period of their engagement and tered by the congress of the United the brief subsequent term of the hon* States.

In the terras of his own father, who had once been rebuked by his own mother for a similar defection and had replied: "After you have run for a car, you sit down," Frailer had "sat down." He had begun the dangerous, the disillusioning mental habit of taking Netta for granted. What was taking place between Netta and her husband was taking place in practically every one of those 45 identical houses on the standardized street of that standardized town. The women used to talk about It at their bridge parties, at their afternoon gatherings, as they rode into town on their * shopping expeditions. They talked about it wistfully and vicariously. The patter that took place among them was of starvelings. Motion picture heroes who eulogized their women in pleasant superlatives across the screen fascinated them. They were fond of saying among themselves that foreign men were so fascinating. It was wonderful to have your hand kissed. Fancy John kissing one's hand! He would explode all over with laughter. Ah me, yes, foreign men did have that something-- Bitterly, there came welling up into the little heart of Netta one day the realization that Frazier's morning kiss was a peck.; that Frazier's evening kiss was a peck that sometimes actually skidded and hit her on the top of her nose. Demonstration between them had ceased. They no longer even walked the streets arm In Arm. Let Netta come downstairs for a dinner party and a bridge In the neighborhood, radiant In a new little frock she had assembled for herself, and not so much as a cheep out of Frailer unless In the key of, "Say, you better go upstairs and put on a petticoat," or, "Rub some of that circus paint off your lips." Never a tribute to her skill, her economy, her prettiness. Just rub-adub- dub of routine. Just lovelessness. Sometimes It seemed to Netta that her heart was dying of starvation. More and more bitterly she withdrew into herself, and yet, so far as Frazier was concerned, there was never a ripple on the equanimity of his consciousness. Their life together had just become routine. There was no romance, no demonstrativeness. No unexpected show of Interest and appreciation. Just one day after another of placid acceptance of things as they were by Frazier. One day after another of increasing bitterness and resentment on Netta's part. It was Frazier's calm acceptance of things that was so maddening to Netta. Netta was there to be pecked at when he came home evenings. That seemed to be all that he noticed. Netta was there to see to It that his dinner was hot and well served, that It consisted of the things he liked, that theJPwere cooked to his taste. Crisp were his shirts. His clothes in orderly array. Spotless his abode All thldgg iirnngsiT wtth^Jfe c^nllne*. he was Stand to ilr-chann. Hetta ink a good hoBsskeeper, a good ho»a maker, a woman who Imposed Her personality on her surroundings. Because of Netta, Frazier started off to work each morning with cheer-, fulness and ,a feeling of well-being that a good breakfast gives. And Netta was there to be pecked good-by in the morning.' In other word!, Netja was always; there. Frazier took her as much for granted as he did his morning paper spread before his plate at breakfast, or his comfortable chair placed wherever the weather made It most comfortable-- before a cheerful fire when the weather was raw, where It caught such breeze as there was when the evenings were warm. Curious, but as the months stalked by there crept Into the festering little soul of this woman a rebellion and even a sullen hatred of this sharer of her destiny. She used to turn her cheek for him to kl& in the morning as if It were so much leather. She used to stind within a radius of tbe embrasure of his arms, glorifying In her anger at the stupidity of the roan. And still Frazier went his way, re Joiclng, attending his baseball games, doing his eighteen holes on Saturday afternoon, shellacking the little twoseated sedan, trailing bushes up the garden trellis. If he noticed a change that had come over this woman of hlsn choice, he noticed it without comment. He took It all apparently as the normal procedure of two people whose lives have become welded. Slowly there took shape In Netta's mind the determination to estrange herself from this so-called sharer of her woes and Joys; to withdraw Into herself; to let the circumstances of their alienation reach a climax. She yearned for admiration, the kind of adulation to which her blond loveliness was entitled. She was not yet ready to be finished with the exillr of youth. Frazier was. One Saturday afternoon, however, something happened that nipped her whole plan of procedure in the bud. A trivial Incident and yet It was to open Netta's eyes. In the end, It was to lessen her terrific disappointment' In Frazier's inability to keep life a* much fairer thing than he had suc-j ceeded In doing. It revealed to Netta, that she had builded her judgment on superficial sands. ; The estrangement which She had contemplated was never to happen-- all because of this trifling Incident. On the Saturday afternoon in question, Frazier was crouching on the lowermost step of the veranda, sprinkling the rose bed with a garden hose. NeUa.^SBiienj^wfl^y-hearted, was sitting upstairs In a crisp organdie frock which she had Just made for herself, "reading a novel, l&ere came up to Frazier a door-todoor woman canvasser. From her win-? dow, Netta could overhear the conversation. She knew the scheme. It was an old one. A city photographer would make a life-sized copy of a cabinet photograph for a nominal sum, provided you paid the canvasser a deposit of two dollars. Then you were to receive a twelve-dollar portrait upon an additional payment of three dollars. "I am not interested," said Frazier. - "Surely," said the canvasser, "there is some member of the family whom you would like to surprise with a portrait. How about your wife?" "Nonsense," said Frazier. Upstairs, anger smoldered in Netta. •'It won't cost you anything to let me see a picture of your wife," said the canvasser, a Veil-setup woman 0/ intelligence. "I don't know where one is," said" Frazier. "You don't know where there's a photograph of yo\ir own wife?** "I hate them." UpBtalrs, In her pretty frock, hot, swollen tears formed in Netta's eyes. "Well," said the -canvasser, "that's a confession. And you don't want a picture, then, I take it." "No," said Frazier, "you're right, I don't. There never was a portrait could get her coloring or the kind of something that's caught up In her blue eyes or the expression' around her mouth that no woman In the world ever had but Netta. I should say there Isn't a portrait that could do her jus?; tlce." After the canvasser had gone. Net* ta, with bright pink spots on her beaa^ tlful cheeks, came downstairs, cooC crisp and radiant. "Go upstairs," said her husband^ ho was sprinkling the lawn, "an# ijut on a petticoat." . •, (A Mr McClur* Newt paper Srndla*4|* .
