Warren, who hated postmortems.

Helen, Fastening to conciliate. But for

Not so dreadful as they want you to

But Helen had read and heard much
Of Maxim's, and as she minced over the
fruit salad she gazed down on the gay
boulevard in eager anticipation of a sup

They walked on for several blocks,
Helen gazing anxiously in every direc-

scowling, sulIen silence that always
foreboded a storm
"Oh, there. dear" eagerly, as she
caught sight of balcony. high above
the street. with white clothed tables
and rose-shaded lights. Doesn't that
look like a good place.
