1t was quite late when Helen and
Warren finally left the Biltmore ana
proceeded leisurely toward Times
Square. Just before they reached the
subway entrance 1t began to rain, ana
Warren hurried Helen along with
muttered expression about her fool
ishness in wearing that suit. Helen
could not help exclaiming at the in
justice of this.
why, dear, how could I tell 1t
would rain? It was perfectly Won
derful out this afternoon"
Hurrying had made Warren warm
and he answered gruffiy:
Didn't suppose you'd want to
dress up so all fired much just to go
down 10 see Louise. Couldn't see
that she looked so nice herself"
why, dear. that was a stunning
gown she had on. 1t must have cost
a great deal. If hadn't worn this
suit 1 should have worn a dress that
wouldn't be half as appropriate for
a rainy night. l don't think the rain
will hurt this suit at ALL" and Helen
brushed few drops from the coat.
Warren went to buy the tickets
and Helen went on through. She had
had such q happy time all day that
Warren's remarks hurt more than
they would have under any other cir
cumstanCes. Bob's tenderness and
consideration of Louise was still fresh
in her mind. Bob seemed to dote
on all the little independent ways that
Louise used constantly, marriage had
changed him so very much, and If
Louise had been able to do that for
Bob. why couldn't she have done the
same for Warren?
So wrapped up was she in her
thoughts that she did not notice two
men who were standing near her on
ithe platform. Warren had come
lthrough and was, as usual, absorbed
in paper; she might have been alone
as far as the looks Of the thing went.
The train came in with rush and
they entered the car, the two men
who had stood next to Helen on the
platform taking seats directly oppo-
site. They both eyed her constantly,
and Helen felt very uncomfortable till
Warren threw down the paper and
turned to her. The box containing
the negligee lay on the seat beside
him and he turned to 1t with
scowl.
"What's in the Box?"
way? Depend on woman to have
box for a man to take care Of, no
matter where she goes" Louise had
given 1t to him to carry, with a play
ful remark about ii being a present
for his wife, and Helen had noticed
that he took it with good grace at
ithe time.
"Just something that Louise bought
for me in Baltimore" she said, little
YEARLY. and Warren gave the box
little shove with his elbow and was
silent.
At Seventy street they
changed for the express, and the two
men also changed and again sat di
rectly opposite. There were some
more men in the car who looked at
Helen as though she was rather good
to look upon. Warren had not brought
the paper with him, and he could not
help noticing the glances cast in their
direction.
Helen, anxious to make conversa-
ton lest he should think she was
angry, turned TO him eagerly.
Dear, don't you think it will be
nice for Louise and Bob to board for
the rest of the summer, and then get
an apartment in the Fall? Louise
thought it would be nice to go away
together. too. How would you like
that If Bob can arrange his vacation
for the same time?"
"They might better get an apart
ment right away, instead of wasting
all that money boarding. Suppose
that was Louise's idea; sounds like
her"
"Oh, but they're not going to board
in an expensive place. Bob doesn't
want to bother with an apartment
any more than Louise does just at
present"
Easy to see who's going to run
that family. Bob had better set his
foot down once in a while If he wants
any peace at ALL"
Helen was silent and Warren OBJ
served her out of the corner of his
eye. whats the matter with the
people on this train, don't they know
enough to stop staring?" he growled
finally. Its that suit; noticed it
all evening. everybody's been looking
at it"
But, dear. this is the suit you
wanted. Don't you remember you
really wanted me to buy it? l wanted
a gray one, and after I got this one
home liked it so much better than
the gray"
We'll, how could tell that it
would look this way on you? Maybe
