thing. But then there had been an
other head waiter and he had re

tion for all to join.
Not a bad voice." said Warren, as
he applauded with the rest.
Yet Warren was usually so scath
ingly critical of such things, declar
ing he would rather eat his meals in
quiet peace than in the din of such
performances.
'Everything all right, sir?"
1t was the head waiter, who had
again approached with solicitous con
Germ.
Very nice, very NICE" Warren de-
clared.
Before he passed on, he filled UP
their water glasses. needless atten.

Country club. They had some mighty
good walters, there"
HELE MS IMPRESSED.
Helen was always much impressed
with Warren's club connections. The
Winchester Country club had a par.
ticularly affluent sound and she knew
he had been a member there before
their marriage. Like most women
she imagined that mems clubs were
far more exclusive then they ever
are.
The waiter came up now, cleared
away their entree dishes and stood
attentive.
Roast duck, broiled spring chicken

What do you want? Broiled chick

mo, dear, think I'll try the SQUAD II
"One squad and one portion OF
roast duck" announced Warren.
With surprising promptness the
waiter was back again with their or.

What's the matter?" as Helen tasted
her squad critically, and then pushed
it aside.
Dear, don't think that's quite
right"
Quite right? What's the matter
with it?"
Why, it's strong. 1t doesn't seem
quite fresh"
Nonsense. you're never satisfied
unless you're finding fault Now fol-
Heavens sake don't begin that here
This is a good dinner and first class
service. What else do you want?"
WARREN's VANITY.
Helen said no more, and made a
pretense at eating the SQUAD. 1t was

made single criticism. The marked

the food.
ooh, look, dear. isn't she curious
And that dress! Do you suppose she
thinks that's becoming?"
Warren shrugged his shoulders with
a tolerant air.
"Oh, guess she wants somethine
