Another Man’s
Wife
By SHIRLEY DENTON

CAREY BCUTON knew when he re
ceived that invitation to have
dinner with his sister anil tier husband
that something was in the wind.
“And when Sis promises my favorite
fried chicken and mushrooms—well,
little brother knows his leg is going
to be pulled in some way.”
Little brotiier was quite right. It
was just following his second helping,
• large, fat drumstick, that Betty said
sweetly:
“You know, Carey, Sam and 1 are
going off again to France and—”
“Oh, that's it, and I am to have that
Infernal bother of renting the apart
ment for you. The scramble last time
was like an Irish meeting, and I spent
three whole days dashing from the
office to the apartment with an assort
ment of apartment seekers."
“You’re the first edition of the apart
ment limiter's guide," laughed Sam. “I
guess we'd better ask $150 a month
and there won't be such a riot."
Carey found himself In for it, so he
became resigned, put the advertise
ment in the daily papers and his own
office address anil telephone, made the
Inventory, saw Sam and Betty off and
awaited the rush.
There were two inquiries before lie
reached the office, and along they
came until Carey was quite fed up
telling people about the apartment.
It was the voice of John Wilson over
the phone, however, that prompted
Carey to sense the right tenant.
“If that apartment’s Ihe right thing,”
said Wilson, "I'll send m.v check to
day. Mrs. Wilson is coming in all the
way from Easthampton, hoping we can
secure it, and said she’d be there about
twelve.”
i So it happened that Carey waited
ttie arrival of Mrs. Wilson.
Of course, lie had not thought she
would he such a charming woman, llut
she certainly seemed charming when
she stood poised in the doorway with
an inquiring look In her big soft eyes.
This was the moment for which
Cnrey blessed his sister for asking his
assistance in renting the apartment.
‘‘What a lovely apartment,” she ex
claimed, "and a good view of the Hud
| son. Oh, dear, I do hope Mr. Wilson
j told you how very much we want it?”
She turned imploring eyes on Carey
and he felt bewildered by their bril
liance.
Carey sighed and remembered telling
her that Mr. Wilson had all but settled
it for her.
! ‘‘Since you and your husband seem
destined to have drawn the prize from
the multitude, why not take the keys
for good?”
A curious smile crinkled the fair
one’s eyes.
“But won't your wife want to—well
—look us over, too?” -
“My"sister," corrected Carey, ‘‘Is on
the high seas.”
‘‘Oh,” commented the lady. Having
got the information, she seemed more
animated. “Is there arijr way we could
get in touch with you this evening—
should any questions come up which
we might want to ask you about?”
Carey gave her his card and telephone
number.
After a moment or two longer he
had to watch her vanish Into the sub
way.
The rest of the afternoon seemed
both short and long. Always through
Carey’s brain kept running, "Thai
sbnlt not covet tby neighbor's wife,”
but that didn't prevent his heart los
ing a beat at the very remembrance
of her loveliness each time the tele
phone rang.
He hoped against hope that some
Information would he in demand about
the apartment but It was not until
after five that Wilson rang him up.
“I say, old chap." said Wilson, “my
wife Is tremendously taken with the
apartment and wants to celebrate. We
wonder If you'd waive convention and
Join us at dinner and a show. My
sister is along and it will just make
a foursome."
Thus it was that Carey, armed with
two of the daintiest, tiny nosegays he
could secure, met yr. Wilson, ills wife -
and sister and started off.
Carey was about to tuck the sister,
as he supposed, under bis protective
wing, when Wilson stopped him with

It looks to us that even those

a lot iof ammunition.
Forgive your enemies, espe

Of one thing we are certain:
The bee that gets the honey
doesn’t hang around the hive.
A town may be famous for
its beautiful women, but the
ice man knows different.
Did you hear of the Scotch
man who gave a nickel for a
3-cent city paper?
Well, you never will!
A correspondent asks “What
is dandruff?”
So far as we can see it’s an
overhead expense.

It seems like the only way for
a poor man to get up in the
world is by the elevator.
Judging by what we see in!
the Outside papers, we ought
to have a closed season on hus

“All you need is a little sun I

when it’s hot he wants it cool,
when it’s cool he wants it hot,
always wanting what is not;

"I am glad you think me perfect,”
