Helen hastily scrubbed the address

gathering up her mail, she went de
Hberately over to the information desk

An Appalling Thought.

Helen followed him to the door, real
izing that when Warren went out on
the street he would be lost to her
there would be no way she could reach
him until o'clock To be left so alone
the first day in foreign city seemed
suddenly somewhat appalling Warren
kissed her hurriedly, and drew away
from her cinging arms with a curt:
Now, take care of yourself Don't
get run over. You have to look where
you're going here - these cabmen'd

When he had gone. Helen glanced
around with a dismayed sense of her
loneliness. And this plsce-she HATED
It! The strong morning sun lit up the
shabby carpet and the dusty, worn, red
velvet furniture. The bedroom with
its now dsordered bed and untidy
wash-stand was even less attractive.
\ few minutes later Helen. armed
with her guide book and a book of
French phrases, locked her trunk and
started out--determined to find other
rooms in spite of what Warren had said.
She knew the Continental Hotel was
very near, for he had pointed II out

From there Helen went to the Ameri-

view the Opera House which the guide
book said was tine heart OF Paris
1t was majestic building, but Helen
was not in the mood for Sightseeing
this morning The wonder OF being
in Paris was somewhat dulled by what
she considered the "wretched" place at
which they weer stopping. For Helen
had none of the instincts OF a real trav-
eler Her first demand was for clean
illness and comfort-to her the Joys of
sightseeing were secondary.
The American Express Company was
big hospitable building on the corner.
Two thirds of the Americans In Paris
have their mail sent to this office, and
when Helen entered a dozen or more
were writing letters and taking advan-
tage of the guide books, dictionaries and

window Helen asked timidly If there
