4 Narati0c Of Everyday Affairs
Their Married Life
Helen Finds That Warren Has Soft Spot In His Heart
for Her After ALL


Down in the writing room, Helen
wrote two letters, one to Louise and
one to her mother, and then deciding
that Warren must have been detained
longer than he had imagined, strolled
downstairs and mailed them. She was
about to return to her room when she
saw Warren stride up to the desk,
and with glad little cry she ran
across to him and caught his arm i'm
petuOUsly.
He turned to greet her.
We'll. Won got here all right, that's
good. 1 meant TO meet you but
couldn't get away We had confer
ence this afternoon
4 managed all right, dear; it wasn't
any trouble Are you glad to see me!
'Glad, of course I'm glad. I'm tired
though; been on the rush ever since
1 left home. You women have the easy
times, all right, coming in on the good
times with none Of the bad thrown
in
Helen wanted to say that she would
be glad to share the bad times with
him. too. but she decided not to, as he
might not understand, and she was
only too happy to be with him.
I know you must be tired, dear;
you'll have a rest this evening, though,
and then you'll be all right again"
That's just it,. L may not be able 10
be with YOU this evening, after all.
There's some business that have TO
attend to-"
Helen could not help little excla-
nation of disappointment.
Now what's the matter? You know
I'm up here for business, don't you? L
have tickets for a play that is opening
here tonight, and if I find can't
make it. I'll take you down and then
join you later"
But. dear, I don't want to go to a
play without you. I'll stay right here
at the hotel and wait for you, if you
have to be out
Il tell you I have tickets; we don't
want to throw them away; maybe 1
can manage il, too; 1 hope so. 1 have
q few telephone calls to make before
dinner and if 1 can fix it up over the
phone everything will be all right"
They had reached their room and
Helen was opening her travelling bag.
I'll go down and telephone now" went
on Warren, not noticing Helen's ST.
lence. Don't bother to dress; people
don't dress here any more than they
do in New York, that's one thing to be
thankful for"
AS he left the room tears welled up
to Helen's eyes. Warren had not
kissed her OF course they had been
in the exchange when she had met
him and Warren hated demonstrations
in public, but he might have remem-
bered after they had reached their
room. Even if they did go to the the
alter, her little dream that she had
woven all the way up was already
broken. Then she had been very neces-
sary, now she felt that she was abso-
lutely taken for granted. Warren
broke in on her thoughts with a sud
den entrance.
''Wen, I fixed it up all right, Kit
ten. now for a good dinner and a
show You haven't kissed me yet,
either"
Helen slipped her arm around War
ren's neck and gave him a little hug.

n her train companion, hurried
4 4 down the aisle and a moment
later was standing on the Springfield
platform. Warren had said he would
meet her If he could, and she looked
hastily around in the hopes Of seeing
hiu hurry out Of the crowd to well
come her. Somehow the warm little
glow of satisfaction that she had ex-
perienced on the train had given place
TO q feeling that Warren might have
made more of an effort to meet her If
he had tried.
She stlfled this feeling as soon as she
realized it, however. Warren did not
deserve it. Wasn't this a business trip
Of his that he was making pleasant
for her? How could she be so I'M

had said, but in the hurry and excite
ment Of getting off Helen had left the
letter home on her dressing table and
for the life Of her she could not re-
member the name of the hotel War
rem had mentioned. She hurried over
the tracks and through the station to
the row Of taXis on the other side.
Il want to go to the best hotel" she
told the man who jumped down and
took her bag.
They stopped beside a place on the

the time or she might have told him
to wait while she found out if War
rem were staying there. AS it was she
followed the boy into the hotel and
Up to the registry desk. He waited
expectantly for her to register, and
for the first time Helen realized that
she hardly knew what to do.
'Have you a Mr.. Curtis stopping
here?" she asked the clerk who looked
At her closely.
'AIr. Curtis asked me to tell you to
wait for him upstairs or down here,
whichever YOU prefer" said the hotel
clerk, as Helen signed. He will be
in directly. Would you like to go to
your room now? The woman's parlor
and writing rooms are on the mezzan-
inc floor"
THANK you, I viii go to my room
ut once. VIII you tell Mr. Curtis that
I am here, please. as soon as he comes
in?"
Certainly, madam, just follow the
boy to the elevator"
As she went upstairs Helen won
dered if she ought to tell Warren
about the mistake she had made. He
would be sure to accuse her Of care
1essness if she did and yet if she
didn't the thing might come to light
some time and Warren would think
there was a reason for her concealing
it. She would wait anyway, and see
what kind Of a mood he was in. Per-
haps he would be so glad to see her
it would be safe to tell him anything.
Writes Tive Letters while She Waits.
Warren's room was apparently one
of the best and Helen tidied her hair
under her hat and patted Warrens
military brushes lovingly. Then she
decided to so downstairs and write
letter while she waited. She would
slip on her coat and leave her gloves
on the dresser. No, she would put
them in her pocketboOk and take that
with her, it might not be safe to leave
them in the room.

woman, because didn't keep

When I look back upon ny life with
the clear perspective that the years
give, can see that one of the chief
attractions that marriage held for me
was the prospect of letting myself go,
OF slumping down mentally and physi-
cally.
In my ignorance thought of mar
rage as the end of a woman's struggle
to interest and fascinate a man, in
stead Of its being the beginning, as L
know now it is. / thought that n Wom-
an, having won a mans heart and
married him, could settle down in peace
and comfort to enjoy her victory. I
have found out that a mans fancy is
a revolving garrison that has to be re-
captured every day, and that il is ten
thousand times more difficult to regain
il, once lost. than it was to capture it
at the beginning.

good things TO eat and drink. I adore
negligees. I am fond OF reading the
six best sellers. and my idea Of per-
fectly happy state Of existence would
be life which you spent among a few
old friends who took you as you were
and for whom you didn't have to make
the slightest effort, where YOU could
wear your old clothes and be comfort
able without regard to style and car
all you liked without even qualm as
to how fat it would make you.
