CAMERA 33 It was midnight. In the smoking room of a club a young man sat huddled in a chair. A friend entered. 4'Hello Smith, not going home yet? No, muttered the despairing one. I-I daren't. Why, what's the matter?', Matter? At 8 o'clock I telephoned my wife and gave her a perfectly good excuse for not coming straight home -and his voice sank to a whisper - l've forgotten what I said. 79 Smitty -Carl what's your ideal for a wife?
