by the hurrying crowd, the noise. the

Channel trip, her one desire was to get

massive feather chairs.

Warren cut up one of the chops for
Helen, opened a huge potato and fixed
it up with butter and paprika.
There" pushing back her plate. i've
humored you that much! Now pitch
in"
Everything was delicious. Perhaps #
was the change from the more fancily
cooked dishes in Paris that made this
dinner seem so good.
Helen began by tasting things gin
gerry: then she ate almost ravenously.
She WAS hungry! 1t was humiliating
to admit that food-just plain, hearty
food-could make her feel better so
quickly. But just now Warren was too
busy boiling" his own dinner to make
triumphant remarks.
1.-TWO mugs of half-and- half" he or
dered. "And-hold on. there, waiter
any Bubble and Squeak tonight"
Yes, sir; it's on the specials
IAN right; bring on an order"

en-.
That's a famous old English dish,
and they know how to make it here.

grilled tomato on Helen's half-empty
plate.
Warren Is Right.

mitted humbly
"Of course you were" genially. You

stomach and not be knocked out And

plain food, and you can't beat this place

( exclaimed Helen. investigating it with

Yes. but Just mashed potatoes and
cabbage don't make Bubble and Squeak
There's a whole lot in how it's done.
| Ever taste anything better than thatE'
Just then a stout. white bearded,
white-capped carver showed by a roll

stopped at the stall next to theirs and
Helen watched him carve a thick slice of
red, juicy roast beef.

love with a young lady a few
years my Junior. We met a few
years ago, and have kept COM
pany ever since. l am sure she
loves me, but she doubts my love.
There's not a thing l wouldn't do
for her, and l love her dearly,
but as she doubts my love how
can l prove to this young lady
that l love her truly? A. @. B.
Perhaps you protest 30 much OF
your love that you weary her. Try
spending several evenings with hei
without mentioning the subject. This
treatment will result in her asking II
you love her. In reply be less sure

heed to a half hearted avowal thar
she has given to more fulsome ones

GET A STAMP BOOK.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l received a letter from a girl
friend of mine with the stamp
put on with the face toward the
top of the letter. I have heard
from friends that the way the
stamp is fixed on means some
thing. A. E.
Almost any book store has for sale
a book that win enlighten you on the
stamp language.
However, it is better 10 remember
that the position of the stamp is
usually accidental and means nothing.
A better way to find out a girls heart
is to ask her.

Very Secluded.

Helen was glad Of the stsll-like ar

an air Of seclusion in the Ieather-cush-
Toned partitions which shielded them
from the gaze Of the other diners.

CLING TO HIM.


Dear Miss Fairfax:
/ am eighteen years old, and
have known a young man of
twenty-one the past six years. I
have kept company with him over
a year His mother is very much
opposed to me, for a thing that
happened some years ago, when l
was but a child. 1t seems she
can not forget this.
I have been subject to a lot of
SANDER around our neighborhood,
and, naturally, it reached my
friends mothers ears in due time
She. believing it, told her, son
about it, and he asked me in a
very nice way if this was the case.
OF course l told him no, explain
ing everything, and he believes in
me. | believe he is continually
being abused at home for going
with me. A READER.
You love each other; he believes Il

She had gotten out Of her coat now
and drawn a pillow under her head.
Now see here, there's no sense in
giving way like that or course you feel
bad. Feel rotten myself. but l tell you
what you want is FOOD! We could get
dinner here. but a hotel restaurant can't
touch Simpsons for plain. nourishing
food. Come on, now-freshen up! I'll
get a taxi and wen be there in five
minutes"
Helen rose dizzily from her bed How
COULD she go? 1t was cruel of Warren
to drag her out again.
A tap at the door and a maid came in
with a tin of hot water and towels.
Other Orders.
Anything else. sir?"
YES, wen both want bath tonight.
How about your bathrooms here?"
asked Warren
There's only one on this floor, sir.
If you'll just ring when you want it,

Half an hour later, washed and fresh
ened up, they started for Simpsons.
by Jove les good to be in London
again! Wish we could stay here a
week. exclaimed Warren, as he gazed
out the taXicab window
Helen loved street scenes and would
have reveled in this night ride through
London had she been well. But now
she leaned back with half closed eyes
Why had she let Warren force her tC
come out again. What if she should
be i'll to-morrow-so III that they could
not sail? She felt as though she was or
the verge of a serious sickness.
Dear, feel my head-don't you think
I'm feYerish?' lifting Narrens hand tC
her forehead.
NO; cool as a cucumber. l tell you
nothing's the matter with you except
you're hungry Just wait until you gel
something to eat. All, we're in the
Strand now. Look out, you don't want
TO miss this"
At any other time Helen would have
been hanging out of the cab window
drinking in the lights and crowds, but
now she leaned back listlessly
Here we are as Warren helped her
out before the most famous chop house

It is a huge place with modern addi
| lions. but Warren made straight for the
