Omaha daily bee., 1912-01-24

straight to Kohn & Rogers offices.
But Rogers was out Of town. Won't
be back TIL tomorrow. WIN have to
wait over to see him. Don't like TO
lose this day, but suppose Il can't be
heIoed.
Cold as blazes here. And windy.
Jove. a regular gale an, the time.
Been seeing some of the town this
afternoon. Looked up Jack Cartright
and he took me to his home for din
ner. He has a nice little wife and
couple Of youngsters. Seems 10 be
doing well out here.
Well. I must go to bed. Got a hard
day before me tomorrow. This is
pretty cheerless hotel room. Bed,
bureau. washstand. card Of regula-
tions on back OF door-you know the
type. And It's cold as Greenland. Two
pipes Of the radiator are lukewarm
and the rest stone cold. When YOU
try to turn on more heat IL only
sputters Glad you put that sweater
in. Couldn't sit In this room without
1t.
Some fellows are playing poker In
the next room. Can hear the click Of
chips. Drummers. This is COM
merclal hbtel. full Of travelling men.
Well, goodnight. Take care Of your
self and Winifred.
As ever, WARREN.
Although Helen knew every word II
this she read 1t over once more. Then drew
the paper and ink toward her and e4gaI
her daily letter.
Monday Evening. Dear: Your ter
from Chicago came this mornins. and
oh. was so glad 10 hear. Was so
sorry you missed Mr.. Rogers and had
to stay over. I can see that cheer
less little hotel room and can't bear
to think Of you staying all night In
such places. But, OF course. 1t will
not be so cold in California, and as
you will DO there longer you will ar
range for better accommodations.
Mrs. Stevens called this afternoon
and took me out In her car for little
drive. 1 suppose It was good for me
TO get out and yet I haven't much
heart for anything now while you're
away. With the exception Of the din
nsr at which i chaperoned Alice
Brooks. this is the only time I've been
anywhere since you left.
This morning I cleaned out your
closet. took all the things down.
washed the shelves and put on fresh
paper. found that pair OF old fur
lined gloves you were looking for.
wish you had them with you now. But
they were pretty much worn, so you
had better get a new pair II you need
them, az these will last only a little
while.
am wondering II that underwear
sou have with you Is heavy enough
Perhaps you had better get some ~
you're going to be In poorly heated
hotels And that rough gray suit is
heavier than the other one. hope
YOU wore that the day you were in
Chicago. .r
Do take care Of yourself, dear. and
II you feel that you're getting a cold
he sure to take some OF your cough
medicine. You have a bottle with
you, ard II that isn't enough you have
the prescription. It's in that box with
your papers.
Wirifred il well You ought 10
have seen her playing with the kitten
this evening. She had IL in her arms
rocking back and forth, just as I
rock her. I'm always afraid II will
scratch her. although II seems to let
her do almost anything she wants to
with Il.
I forgot TO tell you that the man
came 10 fix the kitchen sink Satur-
day. And the telephone bill came To-
dsy-s.'5 Isn't that rather highs
I'm sure we dida't have that many
calls. Dent you think
But Just here the phoas rang, MAKING
aeIen start and blot the paper.
