BLANCHE ORTON MONOPOLIZES
NEIL.
CHAPTER XVI.
Often when I saw older married
people so indifferent I would think
how perfectly awful, how tragic it
was —tragic that they accepted each
other simply as a matter of course,
as they did their oatmeal or their
coffee. Perhaps young married peo
ple were rather imbecile about many
things, but wasn’t it better than being
cold and indifferent? Across the inti
mate commanplaces of married life
ran the flashes of sympathy, the won
derful love than rose above all, that
surmounted all else. When that was
worn to indifference, where was the
joy of living?
Yet, to tell the truth, I wasn’t
much given to analysis. One isn’t of
ten, at twenty-four, especially if one
is as normally healthy and alive as I
was. We kept busy, too, Neil and I.
or some of my friends and I. although
the novelty of New York had worn off
to a degree, and I often wondered how
people who had been living this thea
tre-restaurant sort of life for years,
could keep up their perpetual vivacity
and never-flagging interest in the sam«
puerile amusements. At first I was
wildly enthusiastic whenever Neil
spoke of going to the play, or to some
smart restaurant for dinner, or on
occasion to some “Bohemian joint,” as
he called the sort of places frequented
by girls with bobbed hair and men
with flowing neckties and frayed cuffs.
But now I was a bit satiated with these
evenings of noise, forced gayety and
alcohol-inspired witticisms. Yet Neil
never seemed to tire of the gay places,
and was over polite—so I thought—to
the coarse, red-faced men who often
sought our table intrusively.
The furnishing of the new apartment
kept me so busy for a few weeks that
when night came I begegd Neil either
to stay at home, or to go out without
me. Yet when he took me at my word
and went smilingly out, after kissing
me fondly and telling me to “turn in
early.” I felt strangely resentful and
abominably lonely.
“I never saw anyone so generous
with her property as you are.” Lqt
.raine Morton said to me one day
when I was shopping for curtains, and
had run into her at the counter.
“Meaning?”
“Simply that Blanche Orton is de
lighted to monopolize Neil. I was at
Perry’s last night, and when she saw
him come in alone she called him to
her at once; then flirted outrageously
with him all the evening. Why didn't

you come, too?”
“I was dead tired. Wasn’t Mr. Orton
there?”
“Yes, but that means nothing.”
“I guess I shan’t worry as long as
he doesn’t.”
“I don't want you to worry. 1 might
want to do the same thing some day.
I am rather fond of your handsome
husband myself, you know. 1 was only
remarking your generosity. It is un
usual —when a man is as attractive as
Neil. Most women would be wildly
jealous.”
“Jealous because a man went out
occasionally? I think that would be
terribly silly, as well as almost insult
ing to the man. I don’t expect Neil
to be tied to my apron strings, simply
because I am his wife.” Yet, as I
spoke, I felt a return of the resent
ment 1 had felt the night before when
he had so nonchalantly left me.
“Better tied to your apron than to
that of some other woman. You
know'. Blanche considered him her
especial property until he married
you.”
“He’s mine now,” I said with a lit
tle laugh that sounded forcer. I knew
Neil had known Blanche Orton for a
long time, and that he liked her. I
wondered if Lorraine knew it also, and
if she thought Neil still was en rapport
with the lively Blanche.
“See that you keep him. I don’t envy
you your job.”
On my way home I kept thinking of
that parting speech of Lorraine’s:
What did she mean? She had said
she did not "envy me my job.” and
her voice had conveyed even more
plainly than had her words, that she
thought it might be a hard job. The
idea! That was all she knew about
it. She was judging Neil by some
of the married people she knew who
had become indifferent to each other.
