Nora held up small package she had
found on the hall table.
HELEN SYMPATHETIC
"Oh. that's TOO bad" exclaimed
Helen. That's something Carrie
bought today. and she wants it I'm
sure. or she would have it sent"
Mail 1t to her in the morning. Be
sure it's nothing that'll break
They had just gone into the library
when the phone rang, and Warren
answered It,
Hello. Oh. I say that's rotten
luck! Why, you left here in timel
Yes. you've got to walk a mile In
those blamed stations after you get
there. Tell Carrie it's here and we'll
mail II to her tomorrow. Sure. go
to the theateri Plenty of vaudeville
houses around there. All right-so
long.
But how COULD they miss itg'
cried Helen when he turned from the
phone. You said they'd have plenty
of time"
Seems they didn't with a shrug.
Had to wait for a car. Suppose
they'll go to some show and not hang
around there three hours. But he
said Carrie was furious and didn't
want to go anywhere. I'll wager she's
blessing you. all right, for not having
dinner earlier.

Certainly Beautiful

They were talking about missing
the connection in grasping tho other
fellows idea. and the frequency with
which it happens, the other day when
Senator Cummins of Iowa related an
incident of the far west.
Some time ago a preacher from the
east was travelling through the Rocky
mountains, when he chanced to be
thrown into the society of a native
who thoughtlessly used enough ex-
pletive eloQuence to make things
glow like an artistic sunset
We'll. stranger" remarked the na-
tive with a genial smile. now that
you have looked about q bit, what
strikes you the most?"
Your blasphemy. sir" answered
the preacher. with a reproving glance
at the native. II can't recall anything
to compare with it."
Right you are. stranger" answered
the native, his face Frightening with
a pleased smile. when 1t comes to
blasphemy there amt none purifier
than you'll find right here in this Sec

spend Thanksgiving in the country.

AS they waited in the hall for the
elevator, Carrie said stiffly: When
we get back in town you must come
and have dinner with u.s."
Yes. we will" murmured Helen.

Well. that was some rush" grum-
bled Warren as the elevator door
closed after them
'Oh, 1t was a shame bewailed
Helen. All that nice dinner-and
nobody enjoyed it,"
I'm going to have some coffee and
cheese now" and Warren sat lown
again at the table.
Wont you have little bite of
chicken. ma'am?" asked Nora solicit
ously. You didn't eat thing"
Although Helen protested that she
could not eat now. Nora brought her
some chicken and the stuffed tomato
which she had not touched.
"Oh. everything went WRONG" Helen
was leaning wearily on the table.
Every time Carrie comes something
unpleasant has to happen"
"All your own fault. The dinner
would have been all right II you
hadn't got ratified. If that had been
Carrie-well. she could serve dinner
half an hour early without getting all

saw that there was not a napkin

we couldn't come at the time set
we should go to a restaurant"
Nonsense" protested Warren corr
daily. "A matter of half an hour one

Helen. They've no time to waste"
Yes. dear. I've rung twice." again
pressing the bell under the table.
But as Nora did not appear, Helen
rose with a murmur.
II you'll excuse me. I'd better go
help her. Nora usually serves beau
tifully. but she does get little
fiustered when she's hurried"
Carries critical silence seemed to
imply that her servants were trained
never to get fiustered.
The chicken and vegetables were
finally served. but Helen had to keep
jumping up. She remembered the last
perfectly appointed dinner they had
had at Carries at which Carrie had
not given a word of instruction to
the maid. much less left the table.

What time is 1t? Had we better

Warren glanced at his watch. Ten

sister had not dined with them since
they returned from abroad. and Helen
was particularly anxious to have a
well prepared and well served dinner.
Carrie was not only disconcertingly
critical but she was an excellent
housekeeper, who prided herself on
her table. So Helen was determined
tha tevery detail of this dinner should
be hawless.
When she had teIephoned the order
she looked over the silver to be sure
that none of IL needed cleaning, got
out the best tablecloth and napkins
and handsomest centerpiece.
SHE ARRIVES EARLY
Warren had phoned that Carrie,
who had come in to do some Christ
mas shopping. would be up after the
stores closed, about half past six.

Il just phoned Warren about the
| change; he and Fred will be here in
a few minutes. I hope 1t won't put
you out any. but we really must
catch that train"
"oh, OF course. I'll go right out
and tell Nora"
The kitchen was hot and full OF
smoke. and Nora was down on her
knees basting the chicken. She
raised her flushed face with an indig-
nant protest.
You said dinner at Z. ma'am. and
can't have 1t no sooner"
Nora, we MUST-They've got to
catch that train! I'll help you! Never
mind the anchovy relish. we'll let

the bread and fix the celery. Is this
the butter for the table?'
Nora's. Helen few about the hot
kitchen, and back and forth to the

she had taken to have everything
| "just right"-and now nothing would
be served properly In this hurry and
confusion.
Carrie never dined with them but
that something went wrong, she re-
nected bitterly.
WARREN UNREASONABLE
She was just swinging through the
pantry door with the celery and
olives when she bumped into Warren,
whom she had heard come in with
Fred few moments before.

clock. Now please. dear. don't stand
there and glover. You're only in the
way and you'll make us both nerv-
| ous."
But 1t was several minutes after
half past before Helen. flushed and
disconnected with her exertions in the
hot kitchen, gave a last nervous
glance at the table and told them to
come in to dinner.
| 1t was not until they were seated
that she noticed Nora had put down
the teaspoons instead of the bouilior
spoons. an annoying mistake. az
Helen was especially proud of her
silver. And to add further to her
discomfort. the clam broth. which
Nora usually made SO delicious. was
scorched.
