take care of itself. BART WHITTAKER — a righteous bridegroom who looked at the bankbook first and his wife afterward.

Yesterday: Bart loses his agency when installment buyers fail to pay. He is morose. Then he catches a severe cold, is delirious and Iris sends for a doctor.

CHAPTER TWELVE RIS rode down to the hospital in Dr. Pitcher's coupe, right behind the ambulance. It would do no good, as the doctor pointed out. Mr. Whittaker would not know anyone for several days to come. He was a very sick man. “Business troubles?” he had asked Iris, in the little living room, after examining Bart. After telling her bluntly her husband had pneumonia. “Yes,” she said faintly. “Well you look like a sensible : LT ain “a. A young lady. You go right down to | {& i . your job and hold things together. If worry got him into this state, then he'll: recover a lot quicker, when he begins to gain, if he knows youre keeping things running for him. You—ah—work in Dean Somers’ offic& I believe? “Yes.” Iris walked all the way from the hospital to the office. At roon she took the coat back. > “This was what Bart worried about,” Ellen Trent told her. Budget payments are fine if everything runs smooth. If nobody is sick, and everyone keeps working. Or if you've a reserve fund to fall back on.” % : fli RN During the days that followed, % 1/8 7 3 L 3 . an 2 the serene order of Iris’ former Rn a ! { \ ES Z : re existence vanished forever. REE 3 C ; } EARS ; x ' / ( To begin with, she went to the ? “TAN J E e y REA hospital morning, noon and night. 1 And for five dreadful days, there : was no change. For five days, she did not step foot in the room, or even get to the ciosed door with the nurse sitting on guard at the ward desk, outside.

= " » EATED at the little table Bart! had enameled for her, the first| week of their marriage, Iris sipped * a cup of hot tea, and nibbled buttered toast and a boiled egg and a dish of baked apple. Eating mechanically, she began writing down every single bill, every account. Racking her brain lest she forget a single item. Rummaging in the desk, where Bart had worked with the budget book, worked at his accounts, when he brought things home from the shop to finish up, Iris found the little black book. Opening it desi perately, she leafed through it in feverish haste. Food, menus. buying, planning meals, using up leftovers. Puddings, parties, savings. insurance, investments, planning your future. The book didn't miss a trick. “Do you need all vou think you have to have now?” asked a chap-| ter. It gave Iris pause for thought. Did she? Soberly, she flung open the closet | door. Seriously, she began taking | _ . down the clothes she had loved so| well. Loved beyond everything else. | In the morning, she asked Ellen! 6: about second-hand clothes buyers. And at noon she went to the dry ' cleaning and second-hand clothes] establishment. The amount she received was So | much less than she had expected. « Iris was tempted not to let the | yi. clothes go.. She did really need | 9:13 them. But—the bills drove her on.| 3.3% She sold the chair and smoking 10:06 stand, and the furnishings in the 1s: apartment. Then she rented a big | room with a double bed and com- | fortable chairs, and a small bath in Mrs. Brady's Boarding House. | On Monday morning, she took | the diamond back and received $20. since Bart had the ring almost paid for. The $20 cleared up an account she had been unable to pay anything on after selling the greater part of her wardrobe. Bitterness crept over her, as she realized how often Yolander and « Ho, John and Marcia, and Ellen | and John, as well as Don and his wife dropped in on them, called them for bridge, dancing, the movies, or dinner through each week. Bitterness filled her throat with a hard lump and tears burned along her eyelids. Then her head came up, and her chin set at a] « stubborn angle. All right. Let! them. Bart was right.

= = = OMING into the hospital, that] morning to see Bart, Iris was| ' startled to see Ted Bingham wait-! ing. And beside him, a dark] pretty girl, obviously his wife, Dotty. | ¢ “Hello, Mrs. Whittaker,” Ted] said eagerly, “we heard Bart was] sick and we came over to see if | there was anything we could do. You had moved from the address|- ? Mr. Whittaker told us, and nobody seemed to know where you'd gone. | So we came down here.” “Ted.” she said simply, “Ted the |
