hook off her coat in the Ladies Dress
Ing Room" of the Cafe Rheims.
In dismay Helen felt down the back
pf her gown and found it was fastened

that it eaped widely inbetween. What
If she should have gone into the res

The maid hooked it up quickly.

never did such a thing before" taking
2 dime from her purse.
"Oh, lots of ladies wait till they get
here for me to hook them up"
Were you the maid at the old
place."
mo. miss, just since they,have open
ed here"
Then you don't know if that head
waiter came with them?
"They brought some of their old
waiters-but l don't know what ones"
Helen had always liked the atmos-
phere Of the Cafe Rheims, but for the
past year Warren had refused to dine
there because of an "insufferable"
making every one wait for a table.
Very reluctantly Warren had con-
scented to come to their new place.
So when Helen joined him in the hall
she was relieved that it was a new
head waiter who met them at the
door and courteously ushered them to
table.
We'll, he is certainly an improve
ment," murmured Helen.
Seems to be all right, but we will
wait and see how the service is"
oh, but this ROOM" bewailed Helen.
sit hasn't half the atmosphere Of their
old place. 1t looks so cold and barren
so INSTITUTIONAL! And those dread
full glazing lights."
1T is pretty raw" admitted Warren.
But this type of thing is the archi-
tects' craze just now. Wait till you
See the new Gilmore-You will think

oh, but this lighting is awful" per-
sisted Helen. Il hate those high re-
fecting lamps" for from the ceiling
were suspended by broZe chains the
inverted alabaster dome shades so
much in vogue now, and which give
so frosty and cherries a light.
Here Is a new one on me-" an
.nounced Warren, now intent on the
dinner card. We seem to have struck
a bargain night"
1t was the tabled hote card, but the
price at the top, $1.25, was crossed out
with red ink; and under it written
$500.
THAT is curious, | have never seen
a marked down dinner before"
We'll, why shouldn't they have bar
gain sales in food-and advertise EN-,
too? Roast spring lamb with mint
sauce, regular SIPS. for today, only
soc Our regular soc hashed brown
potatoes, for this sale only 19c' How
about it? That peach of an idea ?"
Helen's laughing comment was in
terrupted by the waiter who now came
for the order
A REGULAR DINNER.
''All right, we will try your regular
dinner Let's see, two clans, two

don't you?" turning to Helen. One
salmon and one sea bass. | will give
you the rest of the order later. Hold
on" as the waiter started off. What
about this marked down price,"
"Oh, they have just changed that
today, sir. You see it is $1OO every
day except Saturdays and Sundays.
but now they have made 1t s1.00 on
Sundays, too"
How are you doing here, anyway"
for Warren always had a genuine bus
mess interest in any new enterprise
We'll. of course, sir, we haven't the
crowd that we had at the old place
but We have only been here three
weeks hopefully.
Why do you suppose they ever

hurled off. They had such a won
derful place down town--full of at
mOsphere."
The craze to get on Broadway
they have all got it. Proba bly, go
broke here in a couple Of months.
They say there are only three Broad

the hands of a receiver. Well, they
ought to go broke, the way they soak
You and give you nothing for it,
But this is very reasona ble-din-

the six courses on the card

lively and they twirled and twisted In
the latest tangOlng stunts.
AS they had dined out very little of
lat, Helen had not seen much of the
dancing craze, and some of these con-
tortions seemed to her somewhat start

HELEN SHOCKED.
'Why, Warren, isn't that rather
dreadful" as the youth swayed the
girl backward down to the floor. then

Warren shrugged his shoulders
