Helen looked up in dismay. Then it
was going to fall through after all,
and with Warren's chances of an in

vigorous and dominating personality
had inspired Helen with SO much con-
fdence that she could not quite con-
meet him with failure.
"Oh, it won't cut much ice with

When they were ushered up to Mr.
Griffen's suite on the twelfth floor,
Helen was even more impressed with
the lavish appointments than she had
been on her first call
1t was evident that Mr.. Griffen was
much preoccupied He greeted them
briefly and Immediately plunged into
an earnest discussion with Warren,
while Mrs. Griffen took Helen into an
adjoining room and showed her some
exquisite pieces of Italian needle
work which she had bought for pres

Now and then Helen could hear
snatches of conversation from the
next room. And when Mrs Griffen
went to the phone to order up some
ice water, Mr.. Griffen's voice came to

Did Warren really believe it would

But here Mrs. Griffen came in with
some pieces of Oriental embroidery
which Helen was forced to look at
and admire, while straining every
nerve to catch the conversation from
within.
Then the hallbOy came up with the
ice water. Evidently Mr. Griffen heard
the clinking ice, for ne called out:
Got some ice water there, mother"
Let's have some in here"
AS Mrs Griffen took the pitcher in,
he added heartily, you and Mrs. Cur

Helen needed no urging, and she
slipped into a big tapestried chair be-

when she entered, he was frowning
steadily before him, intent on the
proposition SO suddenly offered.

MIDSUMMER CROWDS
 PLEASED AT KEENEYS

The midsummer crowds at Keeney's s theater evidently approve of the bill presented this week and many declare thaa it is the best balanced prod duction that has been at the popular play house in many moons.
 Topping off the bill is the offering of Wallace Mackey, a musical mimic At the beginning of his act Mr. Mac key is supposed to be playing a flute, and after one or two encores he ap- pears without the flute, but the music gees on just the same, much to the amusement of the spectators. This popular mimic has been playing to large houses throughout the western circuit and in each and every city he secured first honors among vaude- vile patrons.
 The biggest bicycle act that has ever hit New Britain is here this week and is explained by Harry Fisher Ward. the well known rider of the middle Atlantic states. A tramp is introduced in order that the audience may enjoy a laugh while the difficult tricks are being performed. This act is beyond a doubt the hit of the week.
 The Anderson girls still continue to please every time they appear. They have large repertoire of the latest songs, which are sung in a pleasing fashion. The costumes used are different than the general run of clothes worn by stage beauties, and local followers of fashion will. find it worth their time to drop in and glance over the gowns used by these three clever entertainers.

Just as regularly as she collects a fsupply of gowns of batiste, linen |mousseline de soie or lace, does the genuine Parisienne provide herself with a hat-or several hats-in black IveIvet to, wear with them.
