Party Husband Page #4

---

her husband plays golf with other women.

That's human.

Is she jealous?

It isn't being done any more.

No?

I always seem to be amusing you.

No. Not at all.

Van Dyke 2466.

I'll drop you home.

That will be splendid.

No Lord and master home yet.

Well, well.

Jay's company has made him responsible

for the success of its radio advertising.

So of course he has to be

at the station every night.

And I imagine I will have to feed you.

It's likely. I'm famished.

Throw in a dance?

I'm only dressed for a dump.

Make it a dump.

What station does your husband work for?

WXV?

Hmm. WXV.

[ Radio:
]

"She needs no introduction."

"Mrs Canfield is one of our

leading women novelists."

"Most of you in Radioland no doubt .."

"Have read some or all of her books."

"Mrs Canfield will address you

tonight on the ideals of home life."

"The ideal home,

friends of Radioland .."

"Is a subject dearest to my heart."

"I am speaking of the good

old-fashioned home."

"Not the apology for

that noble institution .."

"Into which it has degenerated today."

"But the kind of home that our

fathers and mothers knew."

"Its influence transcends all

others upon human welfare."

For while the home stands,

the country stands.

And when the home crumbles.

The very foundation of our

country becomes as quicksand.

Bee has made a lot of

money out of that stuff.

Know her?

Why, I guess everybody

knows Bee Canfield.

Oh.

What's her own home like?

Oh ashtrays .. tiger rugs.

If you like taking your shoes off and

walking through the rugs in bare feet.

Soothing?

I can't remember.

Is she good-looking?

She manages to be.

It must be why Jay thought

she was a great author.

Does he?

He always picks out the best.

Nobody home.

Come right in, Mrs Canfield.

You sure your wife won't ..

Oh, you must stay and meet Laura.

She won't be long.

The pleasure will be worth the risk.

There is no risk.

No?

No .. Laura is a good sport.

Perhaps then, I am fortunate.

How?

She allows you to have friends?

Why, of course.

Friends I mean, who ..

Perhaps hold no interest for her?

We agreed to all that

before we were married.

You were wise.

Do you think so?

You still have my cigarette.

My .. public utterances.

And my private conviction ..

Are very different.

Yes. I rather gathered

that tonight at supper.

That reminds me.

Shall we lift one?

I'm in your hands completely.

I shan't be a minute.

Oh, Jay.

Must I wait alone?

Why ..

Well, why I get a tray of ice.

You are much to interesting to

be spared. Shall I help you?

That's great.

Ooh .. what a dark kitchen.

Are you afraid of the dark?

No.

Perhaps I'd better switch on the light.

Well, here we are.
