Ohio What the "Other Woman" Taught Me (Continued from page 11) and Roger told me he wouldn't be able to come home for dinner, because He had a recording to make. We liv^d in the suburbs, and it was an hour's train ride to New York, so his excuse was perfectly logical. But to me, 'just then, quite unbelievable. Some of that disbelief must have been in my voice when I answered, "Oh, Roger, another recording? Well, what time will you be home?" "Why — not late," he said. "Why? You'll be all right, won't you?" "Of course, dear," I managed to say. "Get home as soon as you can." Bruce and I had dinner together — an unusual treat for him, which he welcomed with five-year-old cries of glee, because he usually had it with his nurse in his own room. I never believed in letting children dominate their parents' lives, but since I was alone anyway there was no reason I shouldn't have Bruce with me. I'm afraid I wasn't very good company for him, though. I couldn't put my mind on the task of talking to him, and before dinner was over he was watching me with wide, puzzled baby eyes. A little conscience-stricken, I took him into the living room afterwards and told him a long story before I put him to bed. THEN I went to my own room. I put on my sheerest nightgown, and over it a negligee of pale blue that set off my eyes of a deeper color and my dull-gold hair. I touched my wrists and behind my ears with perfume, and carefully made up my face — not too much, just enough to heighten my natural color. After that I went downstairs, where a cheerful fire was blazing in the living room, and curled up with a book. Nine o'clock — ten o'clock — eleven — almost midnight. At last I heard Roger's key in the lock, his step in the hall; and then he was coming toward me. It flashed through my mind that I hadn't really looked at Roger for a long time. I'd forgotten how tall he was, and how handsome. He had thick dark hair, and heavy black brows over blue eyes, which gave him a rather stern expression except when he smiled, and then all the severity vanished and he seemed a delighted, rather mischievous boy. But I remembered, just then, that I hadn't seen that smile for some time. He leaned over and kissed me. Perfunctorily. But I held him there a moment longer than he would have stayed of his own will, and it seemed to me that he pulled away from me. "Hello, darling," I said. "I'm glad you're home — I missed you." I knew it was a stupid remark — he'd been late getting home before, and I'd never said I missed him — but I couldn't think of anything else to say. I felt a strange shyness with him. Because I had stumbled upon his secret, he no longer was my husband, whom I knew so well, but an inscrutable human being. "Whew!" he said wearily, taking off his coat. "It's been some day. Let's go to bed, Jean. I'm tired." "Poor baby," I said sympathetically. "But wait a minute. Sit down and * WIN A , FREE TRIP u HOLLYWOOD!
