Mrs. DaltOns reception and the theater
| party that Bob and Louise had"--
Bob and Louise are in the family"
! interrupted Warren. Il don't see why
you always want to accept these invi-
tatlOns, if you feel that you have to
have an uncomfortable affair like that
yourself I'll never forget that crush at
Mrs. DaltOn's Not for me, that kind
of thing"
Helen laughed at the remembrance of
] Warren that night
well, you see she invited too many
people for the size Of her house"
Il should say she did,"
But that doesn't take away from the
fact that she did entertain, dear"
well, what is it that you want me
/ to say? Hurry up! Here am-spring
Warren, don't be ridiculous. I was
/ simply asking your opinion about en-
| tertaining."
And / gave it to you; now is it all
"oh, Warren. you are dreadful to-
night It isn't settled, because we
"All right" finally after a short
silence, IN leave it to you only don't
drag me in on it."
But, dear. you'll have to be here"
Why don't you give an afternoon
And leave out all the men?"
Sure. can patch up things with
them any time"
moments. Warren was in a good mood,
and although it was a splendid Oppor-
tunity for her, still she hated to take
advantage of it. She really could give
an afternoon affair. and, if Warren
wanted it that way, why not? She
glanced over at Warren, smoking COM
fOrtably, After all she had no right
to make him uncomfortable. Secretly
she had longed to give a dance, but she
dreaded to breach the subject for fear
of what Warren would say. Warren
knocked the ashes off his cigar and
looked at her expectantly.
We'll" he said, slowely, what have
you got up your sleeve now? Some
thing, I'll warrant"
Helen Suggests Dance at Home.
I'm afraid to tell you what it is"
said Helen, impulsively.
Atra1dE' That's something new,
isn't it? Come on, now, I'm curious"
We'll, you remember how much
you are enjoying the dancing class,
dear? Well, I thought perhaps we
might have a dance. We could hire
might make it very informal, some
thing you would like, and" Helen |
stopped for breath and to see the eff |
feet of her statement on Warren. He !
was actually not angry.
Warren, aren't you angry2 I was |
afraid you would be furious at such |
a suggestion. But you known, dear, |
you don't have to even think of it II /
you don't want tot was just an idea
of mine"
q don't think it's such a bad idea"
said Warren, after q few minutes. III |
you're bound to entertain we might |
as well do it that way as any other"
Helen could mot believe her ears.
What's the matter? Are you so sur
prised? Perhaps you don't think can
dance well enough"
Warren, you know it wasn't that.
I'm surprised, that's all. Why, dear, l
never thought you'd be willing, and it
will be such fun"
When shall we have it-around the
holiday timer"
Il think that would be WISE
We'll are you going to send out in
vitatiOns or what?"
What do you think, dear? I think
we ought to have il informal; it will !
be more fun that way. Oh, there's the
bell. VIII you answer it? Nora has
gone out"
A moment later Warren had adj
mitted the Stevenses. Helen took Mrs.
Stevens into her room to take off her
things. Her mind was on the subject |
of the dance, however, and she looked !
rather distracted. Mrs. Stevens, fluff
finC up her hair at the glass, looked |
at her smilingly.
What's the matter? Got something
on your mind?"
Helen laughed. She wondered If
Warren would mind if she mentioned
II to Mrs. Stevens She decided to
wait and laughed off the remark.
Il have a lot on my mind" she eX-
planned as they went out into the liv- !
ing room. 'Winifred is going to pose
