GLORIA GORDON. beaiitiiul
dapper. marries DICK GREG-
ORY. a struggling lawyer. Her
Idea of marriage Is fun and fine
clothes . . . but no work or
children.
She refuses pointlilank to do
her own housework. and hires a
maid. But lilrk has to let the
maid go. because he can't afford
her wages. Gloria had swamped
him with delits for her clothes
and a new automobile.
She becomes lnfatusted.with
en out-of-work actor. STANLEY
WAYBURN. When he learn
town to go to New i'ork. she
follows him. But he spurns her.
Then she tries to find a lab as a
chorus girl and falls. It is then
that Gloria begins to realize‘how
lonely she is for Dick. But she
is afraid to go home.
At last. however. she does go.
Dick takes her back. but not as
his wife. Gloria begins to won-
(lot it he is in love with his sec-
retary. SUSAN BRIGGS. While
Dick is out late one night. the
house is robbed. Gloria is sure
that Dick spent the evening
with Miss Briggs. But next
morning she learns that he was
at the home of DR. JOHN SEY-
MOUR. who had killed himself
because of his wife's love affair
with JIM CAREWE.
The breach between Gloria
and Dick widens. She learns
that Miss Briggs Is in love with
Dick and begs him to discharge
her. He refuses. Finally Gloria
decides to leave Dick. She tells
him she's done her best to win
him back to her. but Is now
"through,“
(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
WEE minute Gloria told Dick she
was through with him she was
sorry.
She was not through with him!
She was just beginning to be inter-
ested in him as she had never been
before in all her life.
Hoping that he wouldn't take her
at her word. she found herself
breathlesaly waiting for his answer.
It came.
“all right. Gloria." he said. "And
this time. it's for good. Remember!
No coming backl"
Gloria couldnt speak. With her
little head held high. she marched
past him, into the kitchen.
The steak was burning in the try-
ing ism. Gloria. took it from the
stov1. and put it away in the ice
box. Roaming hot as it was. She
tossed the bread-tray with the
bread on it. back into its box The
asparagus and salad went into the
garbage can.
"If I can't be his wife, I won't be
his cook . . . that's a cinch!" she . .
thought to herself.
She stood at the screen door look
ing out into the yard. There was a
strong smell of boiling fruit in the
air. Mrs. Donberg. next door. must
be responsible. . . A. It was the seat
. son for preserving.
Suddenly Gloria saw the beauty of
*the common lot .. . of a woman
working for a man, and him for her
Of their children. And their little
hemes and backyard gardens. . , .
It was a precious thing. the every‘
day kind of love that Dick had once
offered her. And that she hadn't
had the wit to accept!
Tears scalded her eyes. and ran
down her cheeks.
Blinded by them. she felt her way
upstairs and into her own room. She
packed her over-night bag.
0 O O -. .
lCK was waiting for her in the
D ball when she came down-
stairs. She looked up at him
with red-rimmed, swollen eyes.
"I'll come back tomorrow to pack
my trunks." she said. “I'm going
home to Mother's. now."
“No." he objected. "We'll do this
thing decently. I‘m not going to let
' you run crying down the street to
night. . . . We won't give the
neighbors any more to gossip about
than we have to! You go upstairs
to bed. now. And we'll talk things
over tomorrow morning."
“Talk what over?" Gloria asked
She drew a long sobbing breath.
‘ "There are a‘good many 1things
we've got to discuss." Dick laid.
“Selling the house. and the furni-

ture . . . things of that kind."
Selling the house! And the furni-
ture, too! . . . Ah. Dick must mean
business then! He really must be
through with her . _. . eager to rid
himself of her!
She looked around her at the
bright. cheerful house with its
creamcolored walls. its blue rugs.
and the yellow curtains that looked
as it sunshine were always pouring
through them.
”1—! don’t want to go away from
my house!" she said in a. whisper.
She couldn‘t trust her treacherous
voice.
"0h. rats!" Dick exclaimed
“You‘ve never stayed in this house
long enough to care for it. Six
months from now you‘ll have for.
gotten you ever lived in it ., .. .
with me!"
Gloria had no answer to that. She
went back up the stairs with lag
gin; steps.
She locked herself in her room
and \vent to sleep. \Vhen Dick
knocked on her door in the morning
she did not get up.
Her nerves shook to the sound of
the front door closing behind him
. to the purr of the little cm
rolling out of the yard.
And when it had died away in the. :
distance. she got up and liressed.'
slowly and unceiiiiinly.

RS. GORDON was washing the
breakfast dishes when Gloria
opened the screen door that led
into the clean. sunlit kitchen from
the back porch.
"Well. forevermore! Where are
you going. bag and baggage?" She
looked down dubiously at the over
night bag Gloria carried.
Gloria set her bag down on the
well-scrubbed floor.
"Mother!" she cried.
home! I've left Dick!"
Her mother laid her dish towel“
down on the drain board.
“Tell me." she said. "did you leave
Dick when you went to New York a
few weeks ago? Everybody said you
did. . . . I couldn’t believe it. I
was sure you'd have told me it you
were separating. . . . But then.
girls don't tell their mothers things
the way they used to when I was
young. I suppose l'd be the last one
to hear it if you ever did leave him. "
G'oria shack her head with ex
aspe1ation.
“I'm telling you right now that l
have left him!" she said. “I'm never
going back to himl I've oems home
to stay here with you and Dad. if
you'll let me." '
Mrs. Gordon took off her glasses.
“1 can't see a thing with those things
on." she said. “You go into the liv-
ing-room and lie down. I'm going

if Dick and i ever had a bustup.”
Gloria answered resentfully. "Every—
body thinks Dick‘s perfect. . . ."
“No. he's not perfect. But he's
the sort of man i slould have liked
to have had for a son . . . if the
good Lord had seen fit to mend me
one." her mother went on. ~“Dicli's
1! pretty fine young fellow. Gloria.
And you're going to regret it it you
leave him!"
Gloria shook her head. But she
knew that her mother was right
She was regretting it. already.
"What you ought to do is to go
straight back home. and settle down
to make Dick some sort of a wife!"
Mrs. Gordon said suddenly. "I sup-
pose it's partly my fault that you
don‘t know how to cook or take
care of a house . . . that you have
to have a maid. i should have made

peaked. . .
Gloria took her bag upstairs to
the little room that had been here
for so many years of her life. it
was beautifully clean. but depress-
ing in its sliabbincss.
She thought of her room at home
With its soft. brilliant cushions its
chaise tongue and the taffeta that
draped the boil and \v.lpdows
With a llOIili like icad. she went
downstairs. (in the living room table
stood a tea troy.
e e e
, llS. GORDON came in from the
L kitchen 11'1111 a plate of but
must in her hunds.
"You eat some of this toast that-
lvs mode for you. too." she said.
i“.t\nd then tell me how you 11:19
1pciied to leave Dick?"
"There isn't much to tell. He said
'he uns through v.'1th mc. . . . So
what could I do but puck my bag
and get out?" Gloria asked.
Mrs. Gordon out down in her old
armchair. ”Now, Glory. that's not
the truth." she sold bluntly. "I know
Dick too well to believe that tale. . .
You probably told him you were
through with him. Didn't you?"
Gloria thought. for a moment.
”Yes. i believe I did." she said. The
whole affair was blurred in her nilnd
by her own unhappiness.
"Well. then." her mother went
on. "You've got to go back to Dick.
Marriage isn‘t like a hat that you
can \anr for :1 while. and then throw
away for a now one. . . ."
"I don‘t want a new one." Gloria
answered miserably. “I don't ever
uunt to see a man again!" She
slipped to the floor and laid her head
on lit-1' mother s knees.
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Gordon said
"You and Dick liave'Juat had some
sort of a little spot or'otlier. . . .
You know, you're not an easy per-
son io live with. Gloria! You fly up
at nothing. . . . I often' say to
your Dad, 'Gloria isn't'like either of
us. She must take after old Aunt
Fannyl' She had a tongue it ever a
woman did!“
"I knew you'd say it was my fault
engaged to Dick."
“i haven't any maid. Dick let
flunghiid go." Gli'ulu answered
“i've been doing my own housework
since I came back from New
l’oi'k. . . '
"Ah, hahl So that‘s it! I knew
there was a nigger in the ivoodpils
somewhere!" her mother exclaimed.
"l'ou don't like to do housework, and
you've been quarreiing with Dick
'1bout it!"
."I have not!" Gloria Jumped up
from the floor. "He's in love with
his stenogrspher. if you want to
know! And he treats me as it i
were his old mold aunt!"
Plucltiiy Mrs. lordon p'cked up
the tray of dishes and went out into
:1111 kitchen with it.
"Oh, I guess it's not as bad as
all that." she said Coinrm'miily. "A
man doesn't wait till he‘s thirty to
marry the wrong woman.“
0 O I
lIE laid her hands on Gloria‘s
S graceful shoulders.
"And even if he were in love
with his stenogi'aplier." she said
solemnly. "your job would be to win
iilm back. . . . for better. for
worse,’ Gloria. That's marrage it's
no bed of roses."
Gloria. stood as silent as a statue.
in her ears she could hear her own
voice repeating the words after the
minister, as she had stood in that
vcry room on her wedding day. . . .
"For better. for worse. for richer, for
poorer . . . till death do us part."
Ah. there were nll‘i‘f‘ things that
parted two people who bud once
loved each other . . . misunoei
standings. pettiness. . . .
"All right. I'll go home!" Gloria
said suddenly. "By jlnks. ill make
things turn out the way .1 want them
to! If it kills me!"
Her mother laughed at her dercs-
ness.
“It‘ll be the saving of you, Baby.
You haven't been a real wife yet. to
Dick. You've Just been playing at
it." .
