Love N«, Love My Wife
By GEORGE B. RUSS

Effle Frazier realised dear
ly that she must do a little
more than satisfy Chad
Hodges' basic ego. Needless to
say, time bad robbed her of
more vigor and strength than
she cared to admit, or would
dare make known. No matter
how weary she grew of his em
braces, she never recoiled
from him. Emotionally, she
could endure his onslaughts;
she loved to be loved. But,
she must produce some other
method to supplement Chad's
youthful virility. He was the
way she wanted him, willing
and ready to smoother her
with burning kisses; she
wanted very much to receive,
te ■ full foeasure, all the love
and affection she had missed
during their long separation
but she had learned during the
past six weeks that she was
courting a brainstorm or some
other disaster.
Chad came to her several
times a week; she was sure that
the cost was playing havoc
with his weekly budget. On
several occasions, she had sug
gested that he ride the bus.
Chad was stubborn when It
came to being told how to
manage his personal affairs.
M But, honey, you could save
so much cash if you only rode
the bus, at least, one way."
"Effie, I have no time to
waste waiting for a bus. I want
to get to you the fastest way
I can. I stay too long to
fool with a late bus."
"Okay, honey. I want to be
with you as often as I can but
I don't want you spending cash
you need for bills at home."
"Thanks, but no thanks."
"Chad, have you ever
thought of going into business
for yourself?"
"Believe it or not, I'm sav
ing cash to do just that."
"I'm serious, Chad
Hodges."
"On tte level, I'm going to
be ny own boss some day."
"I hope you aren't planning
on going into the food busi
ness." Effie leaned forward
and bit Chad's pouting lower
Bp. "Why do you push out
your lips when you get
wrious?"
Chad held her tightly;
"you're sweet."
"You're a bad guy.2'
"I need you, lady."

Wilkes Barre, Pa. There's
good news for the younger set
in the announcement that the
nation's oldest pencil company
has diversified into the toy field.
Eberhard Faber, which has
been putting writing and educa
tional tools in the hands of chil
dren for 110 years, presently
manufacture* and markets over
3,200 item* in the writing in
struments and eraser field.
Introduced at the American
Toy Fair and pictured above are
the first four outstanding items
from the Eberhard Faber Toy
and Game Division. ,
leading the line is a family
of "Paint with Pencil" sets in
three different sizes. They are
complete water-color sets using
pencils which make water-solu
ble markings instead of the con
ventional paints. It enables the
children to get a life-like water
color painting by coloring the
■ess tonight." Effie deliberate
ly allowed raciness to come in
to her voice. Business, she
should talk but talking busi
ness with Chad was sinful.
Men like Chad were made to
be loved. "Tonight, we will
make love. Next time you
come, we are going to buckle
down to business. I want you
to be a big-shot in this
town." Effie was more serious
than she suspected; Actually,
she sounded more serious than
she really intended for Chad
to believe.
Loving Chad was one
thing; keeping him without
causing herself bodily harm
was another. Keep him, she
must. Dying had ceased being
a prime target. Chad was right,
she was a fool to fling beck to
God the life he had bleased
her with. The notion, the wild
wooly idea had seemed aspira
tional, an atonement for a
guilty conscience, was obscene.
All she had done was think of
Chad, another woman's hus
band while lying in the arma
of her own husband. After all
said and done, she had been a
Voting wife to Paul. She had
helped him build the fortune
he wanted. There wore some
weeks this house had cleared
three hundred dollars above
expenses. Paul's Bar-Be-Cue
was the best in Hayestown.
AU that he had touched had
turned to gold -money! Golden
brown chitterlings, homebrew,
corn liquor were best sellers.
Paul held down a job at. the
Hayestown Flour Mills nine
and ten hours each day, and
when he returned home, he
worked another six or eight
hours dressing chitterlings, bar
becuing whole pigs, pickling
pig's feet, hen eggs; parboiling
ribs for barbecue. All in pre
paration for the weekend pa
trons. And she had worked
closely to Paul. Her job was
making potato pies, apple
Jacks, crackling cornbread,
cole slaw, chicken 'n dump
lings.
Cooking, scrubbing, clean
up behind money spending,
hungry drunks was not a
chosen way of life, die had
been her husband's helpmate
and she had performed with
out complaint. She had been
Paul's slave. Why then should
she leave Chad for Gladys to
make nothing of him but a
work ox? Besides, there were
Seeing is believing.

A "kaleidoscope" pencil box is
a delightful as well as useful
toy, in that it acts as a container
for 12 assorted sharpened color
pencils. By turning the top of
the box hundreds of designs are
formed by crystals in a capsule
at the end of the tuibe.
A juvenile colorimg set, the
Tiny Tourist, is a unique com
pact unit ideal for t).-avel as well
as fun for home. It is especially
designed to keep t. child occu

oose, messy papers to fall all
over.

rumours to the effect that
Gladys had a boy friend. Per
sonal ly, she had no proof that
Chad's wife was unfaithful
nor did she care. AU that
mattered to her was having
Chad to hold and keep and
call her own.
Chad was sleeping like a
baby; his breathing was deep
and peaceful. He was a tired,
little man; he deserved a long,
undisturbed rest. Strange that
Chad should work so hard to
hold on to something that was
hooked on him. If Chad only
knew it, he could wrap her
around his stubby thumb with
its wide, flat nail adorned with
a perfect half moon. His ear
lobe was still red and she
winced from the thought of

EHviAg nibbled it too hard.
Chad ww born to be loved;
affection was the breath of
Kfe to him. He could exist
with cook, fresh air; but, the
rich vibrancy necessary for
Chad's complete animation
was affection. It was no
wonder he had come back to
her sick and wasted. His hair
was scraggy, dry and thin; he
was wearing plates. She was
deeply wounded because she
had left him for so long. Re
moving a memo-pad and bic
pen from her handbag, she
made a list of things she
wanted Chad to have for
Christmas: Paul's car, a watch,
and overcoat.
Chad, in all
would not accept the car. If
he were not so proud, so
afraid of doing something
against the establishment, she
could make a great man of
him. Men like Chad were de
signed for ona mental purposes
but she wanted more for her
Chad. With the help of God
and Chad's cooperation, she
planned to make him a suc
cessful man, the envy of most
of Hayestown's greedy, money
grabbers. Men in this town
would sell their souls legacy
she was able to pass on to
Chad Hodges. If she were a
fool, a fool she would be, in
deed. Whatever it took to
keep Chad, she was willing to
pay the price. He was hers,
she had had the first rights to
him. Chad was born to com-
plete her happiness. Earning a
livelihood by the sweat of the
brow was meant for men like
her former husbands. Chad was
her man, her lover-bird, her
lifeline. Come wild winds and
firey hell, she must live to
give Chad the affluent life he
should have. There would be
no problem if he didn't love
his children so completely.
Effie was sure that Gladys had
no real use for Chad after be
paid the bills at home. How
could she convince Chad that
he was only a scapegoat for
his wife?
Saving garment tags is
a thrifty thing to do. Prop
erly cared for garments last
longer and give more
satisfactory wear than do
