that he was conferring favor

The Band Was Playing.
When they finished breakfast
and went up the band was playing
on the saloon deck, whore it
played for an hour every morning.
There was nothing that Helen
loved more than to walk around
the deck with Warren during these
band concerts. The sea, the music
and Warren beside her-there was
an intoxication about it all,
But now when they had walked
around only few times, Warren
paused before their steamer chairs

"Do let walk little longer

Reluctantly he made a few more
rounds and then drew up again be-

rugs, and now Warren took up one
and spread it over Helen Is chair,
holding the other ready to put
about her when she got in.
