1t was, Of course, a mistake that
Alice ever visited you. I would never
have suggested it had I dreamed that
IL would end as it has. As upset and
distracted as-We were after the flood,
I see now that il would have been much
better for her TO nave stayed here.
You seem to have failed wholly to
understand her She has an exception
ally nervous, sensitive nature. She has
always been delicate, and we have al
ways tried to keep from her any need

That you should have let her start

a lack Of consideration on your part.

GWT ORRIED and depressed, Helen
Nv went in to straighten up Alice's
room the morning after her de-
parture.
Everything was in disorder from
the hurried packing Tissue paper,
strings and empty boxes lay scattered
about, and where the trunk had SET
was dusty square.
The whole unpleasant scene Of the
night before kept beating in Helen
mind. And not only had Allce CUT
short her visit and left in a high dud-
geOn-the memory Of that was us
tressing enough-but even more dis
tressing was the fear of what aunt
Emma and Warren's other relatives
might say
With brOdding anxiety, she put PACK
her clothes in the bureau drawers anu
the closet that she had empled Tor
Alice's convenience. Besides the DuIiL
bureau scarf she now discovered oJheE
evidences of Alice's carelessness-
A black Smudge on the rug SnOWeu
where she had CLOSED her shoes, Ihe
wall paper was sprinkled with INK
where she had shaken a fountain pen'
and on the back of one Of the chairs
a wet towel had been flung, leaving
the varnish dulled and whitened.
While Helen was still putting the
room to rights, Warren called up
from the office.
Il won't have time to write that
so you'll have to write it And you'd
better get it off right away
Helen at Loss.
But, dear, what shall I say?' 1al-

to tell her mother lot of lies Now

want it to go out tonight
When Helen turned from the phone
il was with the greatest reluctance
that she went over to the desk TO write
this letter.
After much chewing of her pen and
many discarded beginnings the letter
was finally finished
Dear Aunt Emma:
I regret very much that Alice
should have ended her visit in this
way We did everything we could to
persuade her not to start off last night
but she was so headstrOng that moth
ing we could say had any effect She
declared if we did not take her TO the
station she would go alone-sO what
could we dO2
The only cause for all this was that
we tried to do what you asked-tO keep
her from seeing that Mr.. Hampton. He
here at o'clock to take Alice out. But
Warren refused TO let him see her.
This so incensed Alice that she at
once began to pack her trunk, declar-
ing that she would not stay with US
another night.
I am sending by parcel post some
things she left in her haste. 1 hope
you have got the house in shape
again, that you are over the worst
effects of the flood
We both regret more than I can
say that her visit should have such
an unpleasant ending. but we trust
you Will understand that we did all
we could to prevent il. Sincerely. your
niece, Helen
The next two days were for Helen
most unhappy ones. She was con-
stantly being forced to explain Alice's
sudden departure. It was very en-
barrassing, particularly when Carrie,
Warren's sister. called up TO invite
Alice to luncheon.
