Nan gave the promise ami Cur

toward his father.
"I'll have lunoh ytth you today

of school at 12. You'll wait for me
won't you. Nan?"
"But I'll be at the office. Curtis"
Nan proteated-regretfully. "I'm aw-
fully sorry"
"Aw. I thought you were going
to be a regTar mother" Curtis
scowled. "My other mother didn't
go to any old o'flve "
Nan face Uamed but her hus-
band spared h-T the necessity of
answering. "It's this wny. .Curtis
old man" he said making his voice
both jolly and coaxing. "Nan's such
ti wonder that she can be a lawyer
during the day and a fine mother
all the rest of the time. I simply
couldn't do without her son. She's
my junior partner now. ou know.
Some day I hope you'll be a jun-
ior partner too and then tho firm
will be Morgan Morgan & Mor-
gan" "Don't wanna be a lawyer. Wan-
na he an aviator" Curtis dashed
his father's hopes sulkily. "Listen.
Nan' la Father still your boss like
he used to be before your married
him?"
"No." Nan smiled. 'We're part-
ners now. Why?"
"Then you can come home early
real early If you want to?" The
black eyes were very wistful.
"Of course I can when I'm not
too awfully busy at the office" Nan
told him. a little huskily. It waa
sweet to be wanted no ardently.
Later as they were traveling to
tho office In the new ttednn Mor-
gan said gravely nfter a lenic ali-
enee: "I think the troy is right.
Nan. He has almost as much Hght
to you now ns-ns I have. Your
more than a husky whisper. Then
he cleared his throat and said in
on oddly straight voice: "Don't
worry about your duty to mc dear
l Nan. I understand. I shouldn't
have let you so young"
Nnn. listened first with amaze-
ment then with Indignation. "Can
the bteaeed Idiot poeelbla think I
lockeil the door because I don't love
him? Or la he seising this oppor-
tunity in 1st mn know as tactfutlv
I as ooaalble. that he doerin't care?"
Hor pride which had been thor-
oughly aroused the night before.
stood hor In good stead now. It
gave hsc the power to Laugh before
ahe retorted flippantly: "Who's so
younu? I was 36 last week! But I
promise not to be a dutiful wife if
it will make you feel hotter. I
shan't even mention rubbers or
winter heavies or the frightful
amount of tobacco you smoke. In
fact. 111 be such an unorthodox
wife that you'll forget most of the
time you're married at all. . . When
are you gotmr to see the Btackhull
butler arid his niece John?" she
added with such deflnlto Intention
of changing the subject thnt her
husband could have no change of
pursuing It further.
The program of that second day
of Nan'ti junior partnership and nf
her marriage became a routine for
most of the days that followed.
Morgan using the stenographer bo-
fore court opened. If he had a case
on. Nan dictating only after his
work was done.
Nearly always thay lunched to-
gether. .Morgan giving her a sum-
mary of his morning In court and
respectfully llstsnlng to hor sugges-
tions for the grilling of witnesses.
As near 3 o'ctock as possible the
junior partner of Morgan & Mor-
gan cleaned up her desk nnd drove
home In the sedan to take on her
role of "regular mother" and house
wife.
Honoslly Nan could not blink the
fact thnt It was a wrench to tear
herself away from the office each
day leaving the dearly beloved
place In tho charge of Kathleen
O'Hara. Nor could ahe blink the
fact that Kathleen was glad to to
her go although the two of them
got along together very nmloably
vchummily. It would have been. If
new work should not keep you busy i Nan had permitted It. Did Kath-
