<WNU Service!
A S HE neared home v.’ith his pay
envelope in his pocket, How
ard had a sense Gt deprdf^ou that he
hated to go inside and face the ex-
hilerated mood of his wife. She was
always elated on pay days, ready for
some new adventure in spending.
To have been married a year and a
half, with a baby one month old. and
not to have been able to save more
than a paltry sum from his fairly
good wages, seemed overwhelming
tragedy. Most of what they saved
had gone to pay the hospital bill. The
doctor was yet to he beared from.
Dick couldn’t see how he was c o
stupid sis to turn over nearly every
cent to Mae from the beginning. He
had given her the credit of being able
to mansige well. He was still terribly
in love with her and as for t he baby—
well, nothing was too good for the lit
tle fellow.
That was the worst of this never
getting anywhere. There was the
baby’s future to consider. He ought
to have the best. Especially in educa
tion. Dick felt ugly with himself for
being so soft in acceding to Mae's de
mands for money. He had never once
protested and Mae had taken it all for
granted that she could have almost
anything she wanted.
He had got so sick of hearing her
mention over all the things she would
do the minute money was in her hands.
He had never once heard her say the
word—save. If she had it would have
been different. Then they could talk
things over.
He hated to spoil the kid's fun. She
was lovely in her excitement of get
ting things together in the house. She
must he enmeshed with different de
ferred payments for various tilings.
He couldn’t sge how she could he so
weak as to fall for that dollar-down
stuff. But he hadn’t the heart so far
to dampen her enthusiasm.
Not that lie didn’t want to spend.
He told himself lie got as much kick
as the next one out of throwing money
for a little fun or spec. But Mae was
surely hyped on this installment buy
ing. He wondered where it would
bring them if she didn’t ease up.
Suddenly he thought of the absurd
ity of his acceptance of her extrava
gance. He saw them in debt which
they could never meet. If lie had any
stuff in him at all he’d tell her. He'd
tell her tonight when lie handed over
the pay. He’d lie kind about it but
wise and firm. He’d treat her like a
fine little kid that just needed advice.
He felt kind of sick about attempting
It as he opened the door acd called
his usual “Hi. you two."
“Oh, Dick, I've hardly been able to
wait to tell you what we’ve got. Baby
and I. You know you said you wanted
him to have a good education. Well,
he’s going to begin right here at home
first with his own lovely library.
Look—”
She led the way to the living rooms
and displayed the beginning of a
group of knowledge volumes for a
child from babyhood to—it looked to
Dick, like old age. She leaped upon
pages with her fingers and pointed ex
citedly to certain Items which attract
ed her eye.
A slow fury came over Dick. He
looked at the baby asleep in the new
buggy, and at Mae with her eyes gloat
ing over this new purchase that was
to enchain them with new obligations.
He tightened Ids fists to keep them
from gripping her shoulders. He felt
he could shn’io and shake her Into
sensibility with a more keen delight
than he had evet* known In either
kissing or loving her.
Rut when site went over to the
baby, cooing above him. calling hack
that she had had the money for the
down payment sn she thought It was
a splendid thing to get the books, he
took a quick step toward them.
“And so you had to get into more
debt, didn’t you?” he glowered above
her as she bent to pick up his son.
“And now.” she continued, without
looking at Dick, without seemingly to
have heard him, “its time, Sonny, to
tell your Daddy our surprise for him—
how busy you and I have been trying
to spend the precious money he works
so hard for. Even with all the things
we’ve saved a lot more than the doc
tor’s bill which came today. We can
pay it and clean up most of our debts
and start a bank account for Sonny
and some time maybe we’ll put our
rent Into buying a house for us all,
won’t we?”
She looked at Dick, a veritable glow
about her.
“Why, you’re all tired out and white.
Ret you’re hungry. But aren't you
proud of us, uh?”
He held her as If forever, the baby
between them.
“Proud? I’ll show you. Pve got
something to work for. Something too
good for a plug like me—“
Famous Bridgehead
Years ago, Germans crossing the
Rhine either to or from Coblenz, had
the choice of paddling or using a poon-
toon bridge. Coblenz, meeting point of
the Moselle and Rhine rivers, was the
bridgehead occupied by the American
troops after the signing of the armis
tice after the World war. The Ro
mans founded a city there, more than
1,800 years ago, known as Confluentia.
After the death of Charlemagne, his
grandsons came there to divide be
tween them his gigantic empire. Cob
lenz was the favorite residence of Em
press Augusta, wife of Emperor Wil
liam I. Ehrenbreitstein, the “watch on
the Rhine/’ is opposite Coblenz. _

MISSING!
A woman came out of a store laden
with ilie parcels she had collected dur
ing a busy liiorning’s shopping. She
called a taxi and placed the parcels on
the seats, counting them as she did so.
“That makes ten,” she said, with
satisfaction, “and George lias lost the
bet he made with me that I should not
arrive home with the whole of the
goods I had bought.”
Then she counted the lot again, and
a look of doubt came into her face.
“There still seems to he something
missing,” she said, and then, after a
pause, she gasped: “I know what it
is—it’s baby!”

An Effective Cure
“Does your husband still bring un
expected guests home lor dinner in
the evening with him?”
“I’ll say lie does not! I cured him
of that by always leaving the table
for him to clear up and the dishes
to wash and wipe alone after the
guest had gone.”
Tuning In on Sweet*
“At last 1 got something 1 want on
the radio," cried the man of the house.
“What was it?” inquired the wife
curiously.
"Somebody,” grinned the grouchy fel
low, “left a box of candy on the cab
inet.”
Football Stuff Now
“Times certainly have changed,” re
marked the Thoughtful Guy.
“Yeh,” said the Old-Timer, “when 1
was a kid we used to hear of the
coach and four, but now it’s the coach
and eleven.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Just a Passing Token
Cassidy—I hesitate to mention it,
Mrs. Chen turn, but your husband
owed me .$10 when he died.
Widow—You don’t say! I know that
you are glad now that you halve
something to remember him by.
Time to Rest
“When it’s afternoon here,” said one
weary tramp, “it’s midnight in Lon
don.”
“No wonder,” sighed the other hobo,
“I always get so sleepy this time of
day.”
