There's going to be an entertain
ment in town." volunteered Carrie as
she came down stairs and found Helen
embroidering in the living ROOM
Suppose we all go up-the children
will enjoy it and it won't hurt them
to be out late for this once"
Helen looked up from her work
But. Carrie. winifred is too young
to go to an evening entertainment OF
any kind. She has never been any
where. and besides she isn't so strong
as yet. Her operation was oniy per
formed about three weeks ago.!
Nonsense, Helen" with the brisk
assertiveness that always character
lied warrens sister, the child would
have n good time. You can't expect
TO keep her wrapped up in cotton WOOL
all her life. Just look at my chll,
dren. I don't worry about them ana
they are a credit TO me. Jane, TO
one of tho servants who was passing,
did Arthur put his coat on wheh ne
went out to play?"
Yes. ma'am, put 1t on him my
self" said the maid. pausins as she
passed through the room.
"Children are a care" said Carrie,
signing as she turned back to Helen,
but to return to the subject, you II let
Winifred so tonight. won't youE l
agree with YOU that il would be bad
as a general diet. but just this once;
the boys enjoy having her with them.
I've often wished they had a sister.
Helen hated to be firm on a matter
that she thought only right, Tor the
reason that Warren had always
wanted her to be friendly with Carrie,
and if she did anything now, Just as
things were apparently running very
smoothly. Warren would be sure 10
blame il entirely on her.
Il wish YOU wouldn't ask me to do
it. Carrie. / know it would be bad for
Winifred. The night air is so cool
now / would so much rather not
Helen was ClinEing to the bare chance
that Carrie would not insist upon her
doing what she was sure was wrong
thing for Winifred, but Carrie had no
idea of giving in to Helen.
"If Warren were here I'm sure he
would say that you are acting 1901
ishly, Helen. However, Winifred is
your child and you have right TO
do as YOU see fit regarding her well
fare As long as you think II would
be wrong to allow her to go, we shall
all remain at home. | told the chill
dren that there was TO be an enter
tainment. No doubt they will be dis
appointed. but then that isn't of any
consequence
But. Carrie. that isn't necessary.
You go and take the children and let
me stay home with Winifred. Or per-
haps Jane would stay with her until
We return and then 1 could go, too
IT promised Jane that she could go
with her cousin and l wouldn't hear
of your staying home alone. Wen all
'stay home and the children can go to
bed as usual"
Very we'll, Winifred may go if her
staying home is going to interfere with
your plans, Carrie: but l hope that in
the future you won't plan anything
that may include Winifred at night, or
| shall have to refuse to allow her to
go at all!' Helen could not refrain
from adding this, and Carrie flushed.
That she could never be very
friendly with Warren's sister i'm
pressed itself on Helen with renewed
emphasis.
Il suppose you and Louise see a
great deal of each other Carrie said
finally, changing the subject now that
she had won Helen's consent to her
plans. Il haven't seen her since she
and Bob were married, but I'm pretty
sure 1 could never care for her. Her
actions at the hospital at the time
