had planned the dinner with several
dishes that Warren particularly cared
for; 1t was disappointing to have him
speak of something else.
We'll have the tomatoes tomorrow,
dear: it's Nora's day out. but know
just how to fix them. Everything is
ready now. and I'm sure the spaghetti
will be good"
Nora placed the soup ON the table,
and Helen and Warren sat down.
why not have salads and cool
things now that the weather is getting
SO warm" said Warren. as he scald-
ed his tongue with the hot soup.
"Why. dear, I'd be only too glad to
have light meal in the evening; you
have always insisted on having a reg
ular dinner. so l hadn't thought about
changing"
Warren was silent and Helen's
thoughts went back to the vacation
books. She was not hungry. as she
had had tea down town earlier in the
afternoon and the cooked food did not
appeal to her.
What's the matter, you're not eat
ing anything? Suppose you've been
filling up this afternoon
Il had a cup of tea downtown, dear,
it was so hot this noon, that I didn't
eat much lunch
BACK TO VACATION.
Well" said Warren, finally, after
the ice cream had somewhat cooled
him off, suppose we have a look at
the books now. don't know when I'll
get my vacation, but we might as well
be prepared"
DO you think this sounds too ex
pensive?" said Helen, timidly.
"'Grey Swan Inn on Mount Storm
vile, overlooking the mountain val
ley for miles, one thousand feet above
! sea level. accommodates 900. terms
$l5 to $40"
III wager you'd have to dress some
at place like that. I want a place tc
go and rest, nothing like that for me.
Helen turned over the pages of the
magazine slowly. She had planned on
going somewhere where she could al
least be presentable. Her clothes
were not suitable for going anywhere
and roughing it. in fact Warren ha6
said earlier in the year that he was
tired Of camp life.
NOW, here's something like" sale
Warren, interrupting her thoughts.
"'Camp life on the Stony Poin
river Twenty miles from civilization
canvas tents, accommodates twenty
five; good wholesome food, fishing
splendid; write for terms.
How about that? No dressing TO
dinner every night at place like that
nothing to do but enjoy life"
But, dear, I hadn't planned goini
off in the woods somewhere ant
roughing it. Don't you remember tw
years ago when you said your neve
try it again, SO many mosquitoes an
gnats and the cooking was all don
over camp fires"
THAT was different: a place in tn
woods is just the place for you to &c
rested up in, not one Of those ne1
tangled hotels"
Helen was silent, and Warren turne
back to his book with scowl.
Would you like to try the seashore
We haven't been there in so long
might be nice for a change" venture
Helen, hoping to change the subject.
ut might do if we could find plac
that isn't on the map. None of thes
fashionable places on the Jersey coas
for me-"
Helen had been reading Of just sue
} a place. She loved the endless rus
of the seashore, the glare Of the 81
on the sands, the hundreds of bather
and the lure of a large hotel with i,
crowds of people. She hated to bur
