BY this time the Federalists' strength
in congress had so diminished that no

a national convention, the first in our
history, was held in September, 1912,

Four years later there was absolutely
no opposition TO the reelection Of Mon

that reason the congressional caucus,

only few members Of congress, and
no formal nomination was made. This

Helen had planned to Unpack some

she realized how hard il would be to

It would be much better for her to so

Ordinarily Helen would have thor

clouded by her thoughts of Della
She felt herself weakening. She
pictured the procession Of ignorant.

have to try before she could find any
one so trustworthy as Della. She al
most began to wish that she hadn't in
sisted on the ironing of the skirt. Per-

she should have been left alone.
1t was with no little anxiety that
Helen returned home a few minutes

Della and her desire to make the sur
render as easy as possible 1t would
be kinder, she thought, to make no
reference 10 the skirt Just now, to act
as if nothing had happened. and then
to show her appreciation later on in
some other way.
With a rare delicacy and understand

kitchen until it was necessary to give
some Instructions for dinner. When
she entered Della was washing a
head Of lettuce.

salad, Ma'am-will i hard boil some

ness in her voice. but there was a sus-
picious huskiness which comes after
tears.

make an egg dressing-you make that

some directions about the dinner, try

While Della kept her head bowed
over the lettuce, Helen knew that it
was not sullenness but desire to hide
the traces OF tears.
Helen's own eyes were misty as she
went back to fold up and put away the
skirt. And she resolved that next
week Della should have an extra after
noon of and a ticket to the matinee.
