Fay asked as he mounted the steps. "You'll see. Pile in tho divver," and he helped her into the coupe. Twenty minutes later they stopped before the little house that had up turod their fancies. ‘ "New." said John, "we're going through that house from collar to garrat-or from gsrret to collars- and when we got through. you're go- ing, to decide once and for all whether you still would iiks to buy it.

"Sooner the better for me. i think I'm past the real rough stage of the medical game. I’m building up a practice now and seeing daylight." “Sorry you don't go in for Oh stetrica, or you could have collected a nice bill from us when Judith was born," said John.

Dick?" “Sure will," agreed Dr. Monetes. “Well, don't forget me for best man, Dick." said John. "Remember. I gave the Job to you at my wed- ding." "The honor‘s yours," laughed Dick.

He was playing op- posite Dick Menefeo. it being to their liking to play against the women. "Did you hear about John's ill-m landlns a wonderful new contract?" asked Fay. who sat at John's lelt. "Come on, dear, bid." he told her. "Let's not talk shop; I've got a good band." "No. let's hear about it." said Man garet. ignoring John. John put in. “Oh, we landed the advertising business of tho Mllltown tool people. Biggest thing we've got so far, and it means a nice littls piece of change. Come on.

You'll have to bid two diamonds." "Two diamonds—and don't be so crabby." “Atta girl. Fay," murmured Dick Maurice approvingly. "Speak up for your rights. Two spades." John ilnally won the contract for three hearts. and was set one trick and had to listen to Fay while she explained how he could have made it had‘ho "ussd his head and finesaed his queen." “Wail, what’s the dilemma." said John.
