At don't think l want to go, dear
There you are again, the trouple
with you is that you hate to get out
of rut, you want to go on hVlhs IN
precisely the same way, year in ana
year out"
but Warren, that isn't true; you
know how glad / would be for the
chance of going anywhere II 1t weren I
lust at this time"
What has the time TO 90 with IL
Just now? This is as good time as
any, in fact it's just exactly the right
time to go away for little change.
"Of course, I'd have to take Wini-
fred. and YOU know how noisy the
children are at Carries"
"They are not any noisier than any
healthy children of their age. Wlnl-
fred isn't so delicate she can't stand
little noise"
Helen was silent. Every time the
question of visiting Carrie arose there
was the same amount of arguing to
go through, and it was very firing.
She wished that Carrie would not in
vite her out, she wondered vaguely
why it was necessary to keep up APP
pearances between them Just because
they were Warrens relatives.
Carrie had never liked her and
the farce of pretending to care about
her welfare and that of Winifred was
all too lightly veneered not to be
perceived by Helen, who was very
sensitive and felt any little slight
more quickly than less sensitively
organized person might happen TO.
Warren had lighted cigar and now
turned to Helen again.
Il think we're fortunate to have
Carrie so conveniently situated, you
said yourself that Winifred would be
better if she had a little breath of
pure air just now while she is re-
covering"
Winifred has always been afraid OF
the boys, they are so rough with
her"
Warren Uses the NIollycoddle Plea
That's right bring her up to be
a mollycoddle. l tell you that all
children need that kind of thing, girls
as well as boys; it makes good strong
nerves and good nerves make for good
muscles"
Helen saw that it would be useless
to refuse to go, or to argue any fur
ther. Warren was in one OF his par
ticularly perverse moods and would
talk ali evening if Helen would keep
it UP. ,.,.
a little touch of firmness that made
Warren look up in surprise.
"We'll go, but / shall need some
things and Winifred must have some
clothes. 1 have bought her little
since she came back from mothers,
and her little dresses are Just hold
ing out and no more. She must have
a nice coat as well as some other
things"
Warren stirred impatiently in his
chair.
"Depend upon u woman to need
, something new, no matter where She
goes or how long she stays. l sup
pose if you were going up for more
than a week you would have to take
several trunks"
Exactly" laughed Helen, meeting
his sarcasm with a lightly Veiled
amount of it in her own manner
IF you want us to go away, you
surely don't want us to leave with
out enough clothes to wear2" ru-
Now don't go TO work and spend
a foolish amount of money on Wini-
fred's clothes" he said. ignoring Hell
ems remark and changing his tactics
Sometimes of late Helen had used
a manner which he did not under
stand, although generally she was
the same yielding woman that she
had always been since he had mar
ried her and his treatment of heI
had undergone no radical change
DO you remember the coat we
bought for Winifred once, she said
musingly. 81 think you paid nearly
forty dollars, if / am not mistaken
and you told me that five was all that
was necessary when we started out
I'm sorry but l won't be able to
