What time do they say they'll
be In 2" said Warren, looking up from
his paper at Helen's third ejaculation
"Ask Nora to bring some more ho'
coffee, will you? If you can spare
the time from that letter."
Dear, I'm so sorry. Nora" as the
lgtri appeared in the doorway, "brins
Edr. Curtis some more coffee. I'll read
you part of the letter dear. and ther
you'll know as much about 1t as 1 do
Lefs see. 7 have Just bought new
French o. no that won't interest
you. Hero It tE
bob and I are coming to New
York Tuesday-will be there almost
as soon as you get this letter. Our
train gets in at two-thirty and we
shall go right to the Gilmore from
the station. Don't you want to come
down right away and help me to un-
pack7 I know We'll both have lots to
talk about
That's all, dear. but isn't it just
splendid?"
"I suppose Bob will call at the Of
fee some time this afternoon. I'll drop
in on the way home, If you like, If
you think you'll be done talking by
then"
"Oh, Warren, that will be lovely OF
you. We must have them up to din
ner tomorrow; don't you think so?''
"All right, and we can take run
to Coney afterward, If you like"
Dear, that is so thoughtful of you.
won't you have something more be-
fore you go7'
AfP
time this afternoon. Good-by."
"Good-by, DEAR" said Helen, alb
sently; she had already gone back
to her letter Louise sounded just as
happy and as enthusiastic as ever.
Helen wondered how she managed
Bob, whether she had given up an
aloofness that she did not feel, and
had ended by becoming just herself.
And whether Bob was still the ardent
lover that he had been on the honey
moon. She could conjure up every
little detail of her own honeymoon.
Warren had been very much the
lover then, but she herself, had she
tried to be elusive? No, she had been
too happy even to think about 1t,
she had never been pleased with
Louise's independence, and so had not
stopped to worry about a coldness
that she did not feel.
Making Preparations
The rest of the morning Helen
spent in strengthening up the rooms
and talking over the meals with Nora
Tomorrow, Mr.. Bob Curtis and
his wife will be here for dinner,
Nora, and | want to have everything 6
nice we'll have some iced bouillon
and a roast, and perhaps you ought
to make some fresh mayonnaise; Wen
nf tn-
morrow"
"All right, ma'am, shall I make
some ice cream or will you order
something else from the store?"
THE ice cream will be just the
thing, I'll order some strawberries,
and we ought to bake a fresh cake,
Nora, one Of your sponge cakes"
Helen hurried into her bedroom
and began to pull the hairpins out
of her hair. The day had been cool,
and a fresh breeze was blowing. Per-
haps 1t would he cool enough to
wear her new suit. She did want to
look nice for Louise, and she had not
worn the suit since il had been sent
home. There was that new chiffon
waist, too, and the little blue travel
ing hat with the blue wings. She
paused to look at herself in the glass
as she went out a little later through
the lobby downstairs. The blue suit
was very smart; after all it was much
more practical for what she had
wanted than the gray.
Warren was always right and the
best husband in the world, she re-
f1ected to herself, remembering only
his good points as she whirled away
in the subway. And then her thoughts
turned again toward Bob and Louise;
she DID want them to be happy.
AS she entered the Hotel Gilmore
several men turned around to look
after her as she made her way toward
the desk.
Mrs. Curtis?" she questioned con.
scious of her burning cheeks.
Curtis, yes, madam, they've just
come in. ! guess you can go right up
Show this lady to 245, second floor,
and Helen followed the boy into the
elevator. A moment later she was
knocking on the door of 245, and
Louise's high voice called Come I'M!
Louise was on her knees before an
open travelling case, while Bob was
lounging in a chair before the win
dow. Both sprang to their feet as
Helen entered.
A Cordial Greeting
"Oh, Helen, knew 1t was you, and
how very lovely you look, doesn't she,
