Wedding Bells #19

"I Was Ashamed of Him" follows a woman torn between her love for a crude, rough-mannered man and her shame at his uncouth behavior in public. When she attempts to improve him and bring him into proper society at the Club Tropical, her efforts backfire, and she learns to accept him as he is. The story culminates in reconciliation as the couple recognizes their love transcends social pretense. A secondary storyline involves Paul, a newspaper editor, whose wife Sharon grows frustrated with his constant work interruptions to their dinner plans and social life, though they ultimately reaffirm their commitment to each other despite their conflicting priorities.
