"A Man and His Wife" IP r . . ' .. i 11 ' ' - " T TTT TTNTTTn A TT TT TOPI

John Hamilton Meets an Old Flame at the Theatre and Isabel Asks Her Name.

BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER. When conditions are favorable It does not take very long to go from the One Hundred and Eighty-first street subway station to Ninety-sixth street. Isabel, in reckoning when she would reach home, bad not considered the time needed to walk from the region of Riverside Drive to the station, nor from the Ninety-sixth street station to her home on Ninety-fourth street. She was so late that she ran the last block of her journey. Then the thought flashed through her mind that it would not hurt her husband to worry a little about her. Had she not worried about him la6t night? She saw a look of relief cross John's face as she entered the door Of the apartment. He was standing in the hall. Just where she had stood last night when he returned from his club. A sudden realization of the reversal of the positions made her gigle nervously. John's face relaxed Into a ' smile at the sound. Perhaps the same thought that had occurred to her occurred to him also, for the words of disapproval of her tardy arrival took a gentler form than he bad planned to give them. "Ah, my dear," he said. "I was wondering where you were, for you have never been out as late as this alone. It is dinner-time now." "Yes," 6he agreed. "I was detained. 1 am Borry. I've been up to see Ida Ferris, and It took longer than I thought to come from her house. I hope you have not worried." She felt very magnanimous as she expressed this hope. "Not just worried," he told her. "But when one has a pretty wife one likes to see her whenever he comes home. I have planned a little treat for you this evening, dear." "What is it?" "I have bought tickets for the theatre," he replied. Impulsively she went to him and nut her arms about his neck.

"Thank you, dearest," she said gently. "Jt was sweet of you to do that." "I wanted to give ray darling little wire a treat," he returned. "She deserves it." They Do Not Wipe Out the Bitterness. It was his method of apologizing for his harsh speeches of the night before. Her manner of receiving the planned pleasure was her method of accepting his unspoken apology. Such adjustments are all very well in their way, but they did not wipe out the memory of the bitterness and injustice on both sides as a verbal and honest request for pardon would have done. Yet some married couples "make up" their quarrel b in that way. The conversation over the dinner table was agreeable, if slightly hurried. Cynthia had forgotten to cook the second vegetable that her mistress had ordered a fact upon which John commented. But Isabel made no reply to his complaint. She had decided to change her street costume for a more elaborate gown in which to attend the theatre. So, leaving John alone to finish his coffee, she hastened to her room. She saw that her hair must be re-arranged. Then the gloves she had selected were not as fresh as she thought they should be. and after she and John had reached the door of the elevator ehe ran back to get another pair. John frowned impatiently as he glanced at his watch. "It is too bad. Isabel." he remarked.

"that you stayed out so late this afternoon. You have had o rush to get ready yet I'm afraid that we'll be late" j, "I can't help it." she returned. There was silence between them until the theatre was reached. As is usual in New York playhouses the curtain rose ten minutes after schedule time and the young couple had plenty of leisure to remark to each other that, after all, they need not have hurried as much as they had done. "Yet," John added, "you are not a rapid dresser, and if you had known you had time you would probably have been late." Isabel bit back the sharp retort that she longed to utter. Why was it, she wondered, that she and John seemed so much at odds lately? She remembered Ida's simile of the swimmers. Were she and John coming to the surface and not close together? The idea filed her with sharp fear, and she felt for her husband's hand and gripped it tightly. What's the matter?" the man asked, practically. "What do you want?" "Oh. nothing." she murmured. "Only I was just thinking that I could never spar you." She did not know that she was looking at him with more affection than was in good taste in public. But her companion flushed, uncomfortably. For pity's sake, let go of my hand." he said, sotto voice. "There are some people I know right behind us. and they are looking at us." The wife withdrew her hand quickly and. at the same moment, John turn

ed around to reply to the greeting of a woman who sat directly back of Isabel. ' "Why, John I mean Mr. Hamilton!" the woman exclaimed. "It's ages since I've had a chance to speak to you. Let me introduce Mr. Dennis, an old friend of mine. I have not seen you since the good old days when you used to run in so often and chat with me. Do introduce me to your wife." As John did her bidding, he regretted that Isabel's manner was less cordial than usual. She could be so sweet and engaging why could he not be so now to this old friend of his? Certainly she could not be jealous of his former friendship with Adelaide Simmons. "You must have heard me speak of Mrs. Simmons," he said to her in a low voice after the introduction was over and the pair were settled back in their seats. Isabel Is a Sudden Prey to Suspicion. "Yes," the wife replied. "I've heard you mention her but from her way of speaking to you she seems to have been an intimate friend. Didn't you tell me that she was a widow?" Then, as her husband hesitated, she added suspiciously, "or was she only a grass widow?" The curtain going up at this moment spared John Hamilton the necessity of a reply, and he flattered himself that Isabel would forget to repeat her question. (To be continued Friday.)
