CHATTER TWENTY-SIX ΗΛΙ-' IE KEPT a record in her .U.«r; if that summer in the Am berson place. Reading it, you'd say it v. as a μΐΉ.Ι summer. Hallie put the good tilings into it. The other things she was trying to keep out of lier busy, conseil us mind, be ( a ;-e they had t » do with some thing dying in Erie's feci::.g for her anil, as she saw it dying. In r own feeling ει ν ar.d strength. lied. Sh< tri· .! to pretend it was nut so, that there was no change. The good days 1 · nan early in the η·.··ι·πίηg, with the suiv,i;:ir sky iii g h and brig h.t, and the cheery outdoors calling h.tr to the garden. She liked the :nys t.-st: it was only in the long -".tnirgs where talk was strained that she felt Era s boredom. Each day. as the summer lengthened, she told her self it would be different. Ei a s train left each morning at in. His broadcast was at noon, l ui there was a rehearsal at 11. Hallie was up it eight, lighting th·· In ater so that Eric would have a hot bath., getting breakfast over the wood lire in the range, to save us r.g the gas. On sunny days they had breakfast on a card table on the porch. When it was overcast and chilly- as it often was in the coun try- Hallie had a fire glowing in the liv.v.g room hearth and the j end table set up fi>r their meal; v. hen Eiic came down the stairs, j whistling. He always whistled in j the morning and it gave new heart to Hallie. He left her with a perfunctory kiss at the railroad station and j then her real day began. There were dishes and dusting to be done, beds to air and make and then the ! indoor work was done for the day I until it was time to get dinner. She had a whole day to spend cultivât- j ing the garden. B.ric never rame j back until five or six or later, tele phoning her from the railroad sta tion wtien his train got in. "It's cheaper for me to telephone than 1 for you to use gas driving down a couple of times to meet me." Sometimes he didn't come home ι until midnight. "Met some of the 1 gang," he'il say. giving lier a mag- ; azine or a little box of candy which : she couldn't refuse, although she knew they could not afford it. and it was a conscience salver. "I couldn't get away." What he did during the day, she ; did not know. At first, she'd asked eagerly and he's said things about | "being around to the agencies." But, after a while, he was sulky when she asked, and so she held | her tongue. That was the way the silences began —the silences that made her feel that he was bored with her. She spent hours in the garden, took long walks by herself, had lit tle adventures, but Eric was not in terested in hearing about them. She felt very lonely. There was a movie nearby but. when she suggested that they go, Eric had "caught" the picture somewhere, or they had to save gas for the tripe to the station. Eric ι horn mo a rentier. Night after night, ihov s Λ across from each other iv i ling silently until Kric yawned and tossed his book on the table. Sometimes she wondered what he'il say :i she t-.iiti suddenly. "Erie, do vou know tî.at every day when I drive down the road t<> meet you, I hear the tires sing, 'Erie is com i;-g home. The long day is over"? My t ν es search through face after face while I wateh people get off the train and when I s e you, I always see you as if you were someone new. When you smile and sav 'Hello, Toots,' my heart does flip-flops. Why do you always spoil it the m xt minute hv saying some thin:" !'ke you always do, about wishing we could get away from the cows and chickens?" No, she didn't say it. Once she'd said she found the days lonely with no I'e to talk to, and he'd sug gested that she have Louise and Toby out. T.'by and Louise came, bringing chickens and steak and an enor mous roast of beef and a bottle of sparkling Burgundy. Louise had ! . en right in supposing that the Adamses lived mostly on vegeta bles, salads and eggs. She just said, "We can't get these things decent ly cooked in our kitchenette, so I brought them out here." It was fun when Toby and Louise were there. They stayed for five ; days. Erie went into town each morning, but he always came back | in time for lunch. Hallie outdid herself. She served , meals out of doors, repainted an j old croquet set she'd found in the cellar and mowed the lawn herself j so that they would have a smooth ι green to play on. They had picnics and swimming parties at the lake, anil the night they went down to the village to the movies, Toby took them to a 1 smart inn nearby for supper and ! nightcaps. "Why don't you have your dad ι for a visit?" Louise said the morn ing they were leaving. "I think it would be good for both of you." j Hallie thought of the good things she would like to give her father. Steaks cooked in charcoal, young broiled chicken, good beef like Louise had brought. She couldn't afford those things. Hamburgers and hot dog» and an occasional chop made up their meat diet. It took so much for Eric's train fare, and money for car fare and tele phone and cigarets and lunch in town. Those lunches must have been pretty slim, at that rate. Nevertheless, Hallie wrote her father and asked him to come and visit her. He came at once and stayed for two weeks. It was he who drove Eric to the station, who said casu ally, "I'll do the marketing, Hallie. Just tell me what you want." The meatloaf that Hallie sug gested became a sturdy roast, the can of corned beef hash '•because Eric loves it" came home a man sized piece of corned beef. "I never can remember what you told me ι to get," the doctor said. ' ι When he loft, ho gave her ?Γ!0. j "Erie says he's got a good job next month. This'll help until them." "We don't really need it," Hallie protested. "We pet along beauti fully. Daddy. The garden is full and wo both love the things we get from it." Site wondered what they were going to do when the lettuce and tomatoes and cucumbers which were their main source of supplies were pone. She tried to preserve some of the tomatoes, but she was inexpert and the adventure was a total loss. It was Labor Day and then the summer was dying. Whatever job it was that Eric had told the doctor about, it was never mentioned by Kric to his wife She suspected that it was a gallantry for her father's benefit and forgave him. Their third wedding anniversary came and went, unobserved. Hallie had bought a chicken for the oc casion ar.d put on a hostess gown that was three years old. Eric called from New York that he was staying in town with some of the gang. Hallie wanted to throw the chicken and all the things that went with it into ihe wood fire over which she had cooked it, but experience had taught her that she could not af ford such folly. She ate a great deal of the chicken herself, poured coffee into a demi-tasse and took it into the cold drawing room where she sat before the lin and sipped it. smoking the one cigaret in the house. With no small glee, rdie wrote a note and left it on the hall table: "There's chicken in the ice box, but please don't eat it We'll have it tomorrow night. I've left the dishes for you to wash. "Lo\ e and kisses HALLIE." Eric ate a log of the chicken and washed the dishes. The next morning he said, "I'm going to write Win today. I haven't got a warm topcoat. But there'3 one that'll do in a trunk of mine I left home. When it comes, open it and air the stuff, will you?" The trunk, an old-fashioned one, came lour or five days later. Hallie couldn't find any keys to. fit it, so she forced the lock with a screw driver and threw back the lid. There was a camphor odor that assailed her as she lifted out a suit folded on top of the other things. She shook it out, smiling. It wasn't a bad suit—or old-fashioned. She'd had an idea that the trunk had been locked eince Eric's school [lays. She looked inside the pocket for the tailor's label. There it was — ι date only four years old. She put it down and was about to lift something else when she saw the packet of letters. She took them out to lay them isidc Her glance carelessly passed :>ver the packet. Then returned to ;t—and riveted! They were letters—old, opened ind read letters—and they were iddrcssed to "Mrs. Eric Adams." (To Be Continued/
