Married Life
the Third Year

BY MABEL HERBERT uRNER.
Warren leaned out Of the cab win
dow and sazsd down tho blockaded
street
"Jove. looks Hike every tan i Lon.
don Is damned In around hero.
But We viii soon get through, won't
WEI" asked Helen Anxiously.
Don't know about that. A mix-up
in these narrow London streets is no
joke"
Hero their cab moved up few feet.
Helen leaned forward hopefully. But
the driver was only getting closer in
to tho line with those ahead
III We stay here much longer we
will have to cut out that supper"
glanctng at HIS watch BY tho light
from the street. Everything closes
here at 1880. 1t is 1855 now That
was a long show"
"Twslvethirty7 Why surely the
theatre supper places do not close
that early"
II said everything. didn't I? Tho
law here Is to close at 1890 sharp,
around it as they did in New York.
At 1890 the place has TO be dark,
and everybody out"
Here the cab moved up another few
feet Helen looked out anxiously. She
had so often heard Of supper at the
Savoy" that it would b a real disap-
pointment not to go.
If orr" hey hadn't left It for the
hst night!
But at length the policemen untan-
gled the maze OF cabs and tAxis and
they were allowed to make their way
through
When they reached the Savoy, War
ran hurried her in and pointed out the
ladies' cloak room down the great
arched corridor.
At THE SAVOY.
NOW, you win have TO hustle. l
Will check my coat and met you here
in two minutes"
Helen was surprised at tho luxurious
appointments Of The dress1ng room.
There were At least 4 dozen satin
wood toilet tables. arrayed with their
silver brushes. powder boxes and
hsEpd mirrors.
The maids ware buy checking eve
ming wraps and adjusting gowns that
had been dissErnDged In the theatre
! or the cab. Tho air WIS sitting with
powder and perfume.
Helen checked her vDaD and hu1~

Going to have . deva of q time

IN, ~ they e1AaEed the restaurant.
Largo A. de plaoe was. every table
seemed fiIled. Helen's first impress
sion was the brfltancy Of the scene.
Everywhere were glimmering Jewels
and bare chite necks and shoulders.
One of the head walters led them
through tho main room to a small
table back In the alcove.
Cant you do better than thfs?"
asked Warren.
Afraid not, SIR You see everything
is taken except those tables back OF
the posts"
This is not 30 bad" ventured Hell
en-. I'VE can see very wen from
here"
"All right then. Suppose there h
no use putting up a kick in a place
like this. Haven't more than forty
minutes anyway
Dear. have you noticed that not
single woman is wearing a hat"
whispered Helen. Don't they allow
them?''
supper place here with a hat. It is
only in New York they allow the wom-
en- to spoil scene like this with their
immense headgear."
Here the waiter placed before them
some kind of jellied broth in tall.
THE FOOD CIAMoR.
What's this? Warren took up the
silver bound supper card, but it was
printed in French, and he threw it
down in disgust. However the card
was unnecessary, for the waiter quick
ly brought on one course after an
other 1t was the regular after thea
ire supper, and there was evidently
no choice Of dishes.
They have got this down pretty
fine explained Warren" They have
got to get you fed and out by 1890,
so they are not giving you chance to
order But, what in thunder is this?
poking disdainfully at tiny white
TAPER containing an unknown spoon
full I would like to know when they
are going to bring us something to
eat. SO far we have had nothing but
fancy little dabs. 1t would like to
have some food"
But plainly the idea of this supper
was not to give nourishment, but
many samples Of highly decorated and
rather entertainment in the form of
unknown connections.
Huh grunted Warren, as he eyed
the last morsel Of culinary art that
had been placed before him. II would
give the whole supper for a good
roast beef sandwich. Wager they
will charge enough for it, too," glanc-
Ing at the bottom. Eight shillings,
and all of it hasn't the nourishment
of plate Of good SOUP"
Why, that is high. dear Every
