He muttered a few words, kissed her. and left. He was going to make Linda come around—that Is, she’d see things his way—they couldn’t all go on being miserable. But he had gone home only to meet Linda's ultimatum, an ultimatum for the sake of their marriage . . . At last he Slept soundly. He had a 'plan. At last he had made a decision: his own decision. Early the next evening Instead of asking, he Informed Linda that they were going over to visit his mother. “I want yon both to bear what Fve decided to do, and before I tell yow. you might as well knew, Linda, that this wasn't Moth- er'u Idea, and Mother, it wasn't Linda's. I’m quitting school and going back to work at the chem ical laboratory.'* He paused a second oo let ft sink in. Before they could verbahsc their amazement he went on. i *T don't like to hurt either ot you, but it’s time we understand each other before I end up in a pr chla- trtst's office. You’ve both aceueed each other of ' dominating' tne so Often that I finally real wed you’re both probably right.

And Linda. darHng. I think perhaps you have been try ing to take mother’s place—I should think being my wife is a tough enough Job It’s obvious I couldn't Bert didn’t shat hie eyes far sev eral hears after they had geaa ta bed that night. •Generosity!" her eyes “Bert, when I married ycu. you a mama's boy and you admitted it It wasn't easy for me—watching you run to her for advice about our per sonal affairs. But I held on tight until you snapped out of It—and I was wonderfully grateful, darling." She nestled comfortably on his lap and began rumpling his hair. “I only want you to stand on your own two feet, is that too much to ask?” Bert didn't shut his eyes for sev eral hours after they had gone to bed that night. What can a man think of himself when he has to face the stark fact that he can't provide for .ns wife and child? And there was Mother Bradley, clone in a large. cor...'ort .'Je l.ouc:. Sh? was confused and hurt when he had tri'xi to explain why Linda re- !survive in this houso with two moth- tused to accept her offer of a home until B-rt was through school. “Rot it would solve every thing, Bert,” she had said that efternoou. “I never hav» liked rVtllng around in this b.g boose by myself. You look terribly tired, dear. Medical school is bard enough without worrying yourself to death about money matters. Besides, it was all Lin da's Idea in the first place that you should go back to school. “And Bert, tell Linda she can be certain I wouldn't think of meddling In your aflaiis. Of course, she’ll have to do her share of the housework ” “Just how will you two manage that. Mother? I mean, there are bound to be differences coming up. and ” “Well naturally. Bert, it’s still my home. I know Linda is very capable and efficient. She's made that clear on a number of occasions, but you ers or two wives. I car. t afford to go on with school, so I'm i:olng to work It s as simple as that. I should have ione It long ago.” Bert decided to finish out the week at school in order to get his Liit al lotment check. Linda w as strangely quiet about his decision, ard yet he couldn't detect the resentment he thought she must feel. Then one evening she quietly informed him that they were going to visit his mother again. “We've figured It all out—the two of us. You won t have to quit school after all.” Mrs. Bradley was bubbling all over. ... “Yes, darling 1” Linda chimed in. “You see wed rather domi nate you together than not at all, so we joined forces!” She laughed and gave him a discom posing poke in the tlbs. “Hey, what is this, an ambush 1 ” Bert could hardly believe it was the ■^ame two women as a few nights couldn't expect me to let a young ago girl lord it over me in my own home •simply this, knucklehead.

She's not like that.” Mrs. Bradley laughed graciously. “Of course not, Bert, you're in love with her, and that's as it should be. Of course, I do think she tries to dominate you—from love, of course.” “Not that I mind—she's your wife, she should come first with you. Your father clung to his mother long after we were married, and, belleva me. I would never allow-Linda to Buffer as I did. But—but why ” Bert was stupefied. HI* mother had broken off into painful sobbing. on with school. Did you think we d let you play hooky, did you really?” Linda was in one of her rare moods again—the kind that made Bert con gratulate himself for finding her. •But what about Bobby?” he stammered. ' "I’m going to take the brat off your hands for three days a week.” countered Mrs. B„ “and send him to a nursery school the other two days so he won't be Intolerably spoiled!” Bert stretched himself out oiT'the sofa and stared at them — and grinned.
