CARVING tn EHEN.
That's it. That's the way to talk.
That's something like It, Now here
comes the dinner. And it's going to be
a rafting good one.
The waiter brought the guinea hen
and raised the silver cover for War
ren's inspection.
Shall / serve it, sir?'
mo, you put it right down here
III serve it myself And get larger
bowl for that salad can't dress it in
that. And bring about teaspoon of
dry English mustard"
Helen watched every movement OF
his strong, capable hands as he cary
ed the guinea hen. There was no one
like him! A dozen times since they
had been sitting there she had told
| herself that. There was no one to
! whom the walters gave such attentive
service, no one who had such an air
of knowing what he wanted and get
| ting it.
Pretty good guinea hen, isn't it?
Much better flavor than chicken
and this is particularly fine"
| "Oh, yes, it's delicious" murmured
| Helen, who was thinking of every
thing but the food. Just to be with him
| again. to hear his voice, to sit across
the table from him-she could have
eaten anything and thought it deli
cious.
| And it was a very happy dinner. I'm
der the genial influences of the wine
and music Warren unbent and told
her many amusing incidents of his

the deal, talked of the $4,000 that he
made, and his plans for investing part
of it.
AS they left the restaurant he mo-
toned for a taxicab.
ooh, no, no, dear; we can get a car
just around the corner"
"All right" good naturally, But |
think we've earned a little blowout
tonight-eh?
ooh, yes, dear, but it will be almost
two dollars for a taxi, and I'd so much
rather have the money any other
way"
When they left their car at the cor
ner Warren drew her toward the bril-
liantly lit windows of the drug store.
Lets stop here and blow in the two
dollars we saved on the taxi. Come on
in" as she hesitated. What do you
WANT"
ooh, Warren" feeling slightly
flushed, 81 don't need anything just
now"
Eyes you do" leading the way to
the toilet counter. "a woman always
likes these fandangles. Now which
shall it be-"
j There was an elaborate display OF
pink, blue and white celluloid toilet ar
ticles.
MORE EXPENSE.
"Oh. I should like a hand mirror
murmured Helen. 81 cracked mine
some time ago, and someone said I'D
have bad luck until got a new one.
"All right. l don't give hang for
your superstition, but hand mirror
is just the thing. Here, young man.
let's see that one"
Three dollars and fifty cents" said
the clerk, handing it out.
That's very NICE" murmured Hell
en-, But haven't you anything small
er-not quite so expensive?'
mo, that's all right" interrupted
Warren, with an air Of affluence. "Ii
you like that one-that's the one Wei
take"
When a little later Helen unwrappeC

superstition that this might be an EN-

At least she would believe that
