Postwar Political Tensions Stir Domestic Turmoil
In a domestic vignette set during a heated campaign, Mrs. Dobbs and her husband manage household shortages and mounting bets on election outcomes.

The piece ends with relief that political fervor subsides after the vote, restoring calm and family balance.
