CHAPTER LVIII.
When Neil returned after taking
Lorraine, home, I thought I would,
ask him where he had been, and who
he had been with. But he scarcely
had taken off his coat before he said:
‘T can se by our face that you
want to talk, Bab( but I am in no
mood for conversation. I had a very
unpleasant evening, and if you don't
mind I will go immediately to bed.”
My wits went wool gathering. I
forgot everything I wanted to say
and meekly returned:
“Very well, I won’t talk if you don’t
want me to.’
“I certainly don’t— not to-night.”
He had said he had spent an un
pleasant evening. I was positive he
had not been with Blanche Orton be
cause of what Lorraine had said. It
he were really tired and worried I
did not want to add to his anxieties
in any way. I had read often, in
stories of married life, that when a
man came home tired, these best, the
only thing, a wife could do was to
keep still. So I kept still.
It takes a woman a long time to
“get onto’ all the little kinks in her
husband’s nature. I had not yet be
come accustomed to all of them in
Neil’s. But one thing I had soon
learned: If he were either tired or
sleepy, it was of no use to try to talk
to him. I might talk, surely; but he
paid not the slightest attention, and
would often leave me in the middle
of a sentence.
I wondered what the business
could have been, that it should have
given him a disagreeable evening.
That it was anything but business, I
never dreamed because I thought I
knew he had not been with Blanche
Orton. Just why I should have be
lieved her the only woman who
might interest Neil, I could not have
explained, but the fact remained
Aside from Blanche Orton, I had
never felt the slightest twinge of
jealousy of any other woman, altho
Neil was always poking and “Carry
ing on” as mother would say. But
there was a something about him,
about his manner when with Mrs. Or
ton, that was entirely different than
when with others. At least it seemed
so to me.
So above and beyoud everything
else I had the feeling that if I could
keep Neil and Blanche Orton apart
I would have no cause for anxiety.
As I have said, I had begun to
plan a social career. At first it was
with baby Robert’s future in view.
But I soon wanted it for myself. I
would show them that I did not only
have money, but that I had position.
I urged Neil to buy a house on a
fashionable street a little east of the
Avenue, and hire expensive/,
tors to do it over. Then, when it was
ready, I indulged in a perfect riot of
spending, assisted by Lorraine Mor
ton who had exquisite taste.
Nothing was too good for me. In
deed, it was a task to find things
which were good enough. Lorraine,
w’ho was one of the elect socially,
had assured me that she would spon
sor me in such away that I would
soon have a select circle of friends.
I was delighted that we were able
to gratify my expensive tastes. How
little I realized that money does not
really get people anything! I could
not have believed then, so wrapped up
was I in worldly things, what I firm
ly believe now. that more married
people are separated by wealth, es
pecially if it be quickly acquired
than by the direst poverty. As long
as there is necessity for struggle
together. Their lives are so en
twined by necessity, that they never
get far from each other in thought
or in action. Everything that affects
one also affects the other. It is a
matter of mutual concern how every
dollar is spent.
But with plethora of money their
interests are apt to diverge. Each
make new friends who, while not
perhaps intending to, help to lead
them farther afield in their lives
together. Before they realize it he
is going his way, she hers. They
have no little problems to talk over;
they neither earn, save, or spend to
gether. They forget to consult each
other over the things they do, the
money they spend; it isn’t necessary.
So it had been with us in all the
small things of life, and it was fast
beconriong so wit lithe big things.
For, while I planned my campaign
I was so interested that I almost
failed to notice when Neil remained
out, or what time he came in.
