face of the man when she gave the j
name 0 f their hotel. She knew en
0 ugh about New York now to appre
ciate the incongruity of a person
in Rod’s position making it his home.
It wouldn't make them appear ir
responsible, she hoped, and, thereby
disqualify them as charge account
customers of the store,
On her way out she was seized
with a new apprehension that caus
ed her to turn sharply in search af
a telephone booth.
Rod once had told Bertie Lou he
didn’t believe in charge accounts,
She hadn’t given the remark much

thought at the time but now it cams ■
back to her as a cause for appre
hension. Rod might refuse to
mit her to do her shopping on ere
** lt
A bit nervously she waited Tor
the operator to get the number she
gave. There was a longer wait be
lore Rod was called to the telephone
in the office. It gave Bertie Lou
time to decide that it would be
fair for him to withhold his con
sent! It was entirely his fault that
she must have an evening dress.
"Hello Rod,’ ’she said when
heard his voice. "I called you up
to let you know I’ve applied for a
charge account at Staley’s. They’]]
probably send a man around to the
office to see if it’s ail light.’
She waited. Then as she had
feared, Rod objected. ‘ I'd rather not
do it,” he said.
Bertie Lou’s voice lost its smile
“It will be a great convenience,”
she told him. “I’ve simply got to
have some clothes. You don’t want
me to look like a frumiWwxt Thurs
day, do you?”
“Good lord, ycu’ve got heaps
clothes.”
Beatie Lou was exasperated. Rod
was getting to be just like
husbands in ccrne ways. Poker, and
absolutely no sense about clothes.
Anyway he ought to see that if he
could afford to ask people to high*
clubs he ought to be able to buy his
wife a decent dress to wear.
"Rod, don’t be dumb,” she begged,
I can't wait until Mums sells our
stuff at home. And we mustn't go
completely broke. But of course if
you’d rather risk it I can pay cash
for my things and you can give me
some more money for lurniture ”
Rod felt confused. He'd come to
New York with more than $600 in
j the bank, his furniture paid for and
a bright future ahead of him. Ami
now, in less than two weeks he
i couldn’t spare the money to buy
Bertie, Lou some new clothes.
Two months rent for the apart
ment and $300 for new furniture
had left very little cash in the bank,
His salary had failed even to meet
their curren t living expenses, Ber
I tj e Lou h ac j paid a good price for
her sports coat and hat. And there
i had been a ! dinner for the Frasers
to add to their expenditures.
All right,” he said, s trifle weari
ly. * "But remember, Bertie Lou we
will have monthly payments to make j
on the furniture. Don’t get in too j j
deep.”
Be/tie Lou breathed a sigh of re- j
lief.- She had dreaded the possibility' i
of having to with him. I
argue . . even
remind him that he was willing to
away money in a night club.
What if he had made it in poker 1
He might have lost instead. He had
gambled with money they needed—
she’d have suffered if be had lost—
'
why wasn't it fair to spend the
money on her when fie won?
It was the first time in his life
that Rod had been away from home
except on visits and it made him feel
uneasy to be so close to the bottom
of his bank account. It was the
breadwinner's worry. . . the white
collared man';; worry,
Berti Lou knew nothing about it.
She believed he was afraid she
might abuse their credit at Sta
ley’s and the thought spoiled he"
pleasure in shopping. But noth
short of an imminent financial
crisis in their lives could have kept
from buying an evening gown.
The price tag caused her to her.i
i t ate, but she foTgot all about
when, standing before her mirror
in the new apartment, she took a
last look at herself before turning
to thrust her arms into the

j “Don't you think I look gorge
ous?” she smiled up at him.
i folded the wrap about her and turn -
j ed her around to face him. His lac*
was beaming with delight in her and
Bertie Lou reached un to press
lips softly against his.
“Honey, you’ll have all the Women
in New York begging for your beau
ty secrets,” Rod told her.
; Bertie Lou laughed a soft tinkle
of happiness. Who could fear a
rival when things like that wer'
said? And when one was in a rtp
pling, white jade satin gown?
! On the way to the Frasers, where
they were to pick up their guests,
she sat close to Rod in the cab. . .
he completely forgot about bank
balance,^ and rents . . . they were
at tlveir destination much too soon.
Bertie Lou entered Molly’s living
room without the slightest reluc
tance She had not seen Lila in
New York, but with the feel of
i Rod’s arm still about her shoulders
she dici not fear her. Lila might.
probably would, try to be a thorn
smile.
"Well It's a good way for thrifty
young married people tt> be," Lila
returned with an insight that ta
furiated Bertie Lou. That was the
worst feature about a small town—
everyone knew the date of every pen
ny you owned—or didn’t own.

a few feet away.
