CHAPTER VI
rpHC Idea of the affair remained
nebulous for some time, due to the
fact that rtuth hesitated to mention It
to Scott. She knew that ome plannlne
T.-ould have to be dono and sho was
ashamed to plan; feeling: all the while
that tho was barring his frlr.ids from
being Invited. In tho lncantlnij Rome
thing else occurred that madv Huth very

time to reason sho realized that what

mined that she would not be the Mud of
a woman who would resent the (act tint
her husband should want occasionally
to be aiay from her. For a long time

as sho slipped out of bed and dressed.
It made her unusually quiet at break
fast. Scott himself waa In excellent
spirits. Ruth decided that his wrlstllng
as he shaved and his unusual good na
ture was because he was looking forward
to his evening atone. However, by ex
erting self-control she managed to lot
him leave tho home without saying any
thing about It. Thus far she had pre
served her pride.
"I'll telephone during the day," he had
said, as he drew her close to say good
by. "I'm going to that bridge this after
noon." "Oh, then I'll call jou when you get
home." Not a word about what she was
going to do. where she was going to eat.
JuH an acceptance of things as they
were that made her furious.
"All right.' she said coldly, and then
was still more angry because he did
not seem to notice, for If he did. he
tuld nothing at all to Indicate that fact.
By the time she was ready to gel
dressed for the bridge that afternoon
she had worked herself up Into the
belief that Scott no longer loved her.
She was In that mood when sho went to
the bridge and met Isabel Carter there.
Hut even then Ruth was too fine to com
plain In any way about what she con
sidered Scott's unfairness. She wanted
to talk to Isabel about It In u general
way and to find out her opinions, but
he would have been flayed alive before
she would have lisped a dlslojal word
about Scott to any one. Not that she
got much sympathy from Isabol, and
quite suddenly on the way home BhA
decided to go home for dinner. That
was the best Idea. She remembered
that Scott had tald he would call her
up. Well, If he thought for a mlnuto
that fcho going to eat a solitary din
ner alone at home while he was out hav
ing a good time he was very much mis
asserted himself, and the result was not
as pteqaani as iium naq iniHguicu n
-would be. It was harder than It would
have been If Scott had taken to going
out occasionally from the very begin
ning. Scott's remark that he would not be
home to dinner tho following evening had
elicited a surprised, query from Ruth.
"Why, dear, whore are you going?''
"Well, I think It's a good time to be
gin those evenings out we discussed how
about It?"
Ruth was not wildly enthusiastic
"Why, of course: but ou sprang It on
me so suddenly."
Then they had said nothing more until
Just before bedtime, when Ruth, who
,had been thinking o( It all evening, re
marked casually, "Havo you any plans?"
"Nothing definite, but I'll scare up
eorpp excitement."
Ruth lay awake a long time thinking
about. It. She tried to convince her
fielf of the fact that It was perfectly
natural i she knew in her heart of
hearts that she had planned for It. and
yet now that It had come, she felt as
though for the first time In their life
together Scott needed 'Something that
fehe couldn't give him- It gave her a
feeling of coming out of her honey
moon period and emerging Into the sta
tion of the wife rather than the bride.
No longer could she brag as she had
done that Scott simply did not want to
gd out. How many times had she said
to her friends:
"He knows that his life la his own.
I have told him that he ought to get out
with the men. but he simply doesn't want
to go." And then she had flushed de
liclously, proud of her power and the
attractiveness that held her husband
voluntarily at home.
Before she finally dropped oft to sleep
she had Imagined all kinds of reasons for
Scott's decision After all, why should
a man want to go plaoes whpre his wife
was not with him? She was satisfied.
why wasn't he? She forgot the fact tlat
marriage, after all, was made In the
first place to protect a. woman. The man
was well enough pleased with things as
they were, Man Is naturally polyga
mous. Ruth awoke the next morning with
the consciousness that she had fallen
aBleep-wlth something on her mind. She
struggled for a time hazily, only semi
conscious, trying to remember, and then
It all came back to her. Scott was go
infr to spend tho evening away from
home. The thought dragged on her
taken. She would go
dinner and miss his telephone call de
liberately. Of course, her mother would
be sure to ask Questions, but shn would
tell her nothing at all. She was too
proud to admit to any one oven If sho
had wanted to, that Scott had left her
for an evening. Most of all would she
hesitate before saying
Rowland. She was
Scott's attitude anyway. Mrs. Rowland
never missed an opportunity to dlsap
prove of something ho had done.
