The curtain fell on the last act and
Warren leaned over TO help Helen on
with her coat. The play was obviously
Il try-out. and the kind that neither
of them liked. Warren was IN a pao
humor and even Helen had reached a
point where she was not quite herseit.
As they went up the aisle, Helen saio
fretfully.
Have you ever seen anything quite
so bad, Warren? ] don't see how we
managed to sit through it.
No wonder they try out plays In
towns like this one" growled war
rem. This play would not last an
hour on Broadway"
They had reached the lobby and
Warren was for hailinS street car
hut Helen protested. Let's walk,
dear, have a frightful headache anu
IL can't be far to the hotel.
They strolled through the deserted
streets leisurely. The fresh air acted
ns a tonic and Warren lost his grouch.
Helen smiled to herself as he re-
marked on the beauty of the night.
You see. dear, you needed the walk
as we'll as /. Now you reel more ike
yoursf, don't you?'
II feel all right. only I'm kicking
myself all over for paying two htty
for those seats"
Did you, Warren? That's shame,
but, anyway, it was fun to go TO 4
try-out. l have never been TO the
theater on an opening night, so L en-
joyed that part of it, anyway.
They reached the hotel, and as they
went into the lobby, Warren asked If
she weren't hungry.
How would nice little bite of
salad taste, eh?" Warren could al
WAYS be put into a good humor If
wasn't hungry. and, with the heat OF
the hotel, her headache had returned.
"I couldn't eat thing, dear, really,
but you so ahead and order what YOU
like"
Warren Invites Helen
TO Have Little Lunch.
Nonsense, I'm not going to eat an
alone; YOU come along with me ana
you'll have an appetite before you
know it,
Helen would have preferred going
TO her room, and was surprised that
Warren insisted upon her going into
the dining room. Ever since last
Summer at the shore when she had
tainted in the water, he had never
insisted upon her doing anything when
she had one of her peculiar head
aches. True she had never had so
bad a one as she had had that day
but then she had never done anything
l.
for fear of another bad spell.
They had been settled at a little
table along the wall, and Helen looked
around again at the decorations. She
had thought the room little Sarlsh TO
be beautiful. and yet it was effective.
Il like the cosy table lights don't
YOU, Warren" she remarked again,
as she slipped out of her coat; these
arrangements may be very new, but
I must say | like the other much
better
II don't know" remarked Warren
non-committally. Manlike the decora-
tions made very little difference TO
him: it was the food that counted.
Now what are we going to have
Haven't YOU scared up some kind of
an appetite? Come on, now, be n
sport"
But really, Warren" Helen began
aut wasS sAsnced tY NArrens frown
of disapprovak After an she wash
lied that Warren liked her to do what
he did. All men like their wives to
he companionable. particularly on a
trip of this kind. Why did she always
have to be a lill-joy?
" All right, dear, you order for me,
she said, forcing a smile. The thought
of food made her feel worse, but If
she could manage to make Warren
think she was enjoying it, that would
be something.
"All right" agreed Warren. How
would some crab salad taste? You al
ways like that
Helen shuddered. Crab salad when
she was feeling we'll was a pleasure
bu; tonight the thought OF the rich
Inayonnaise was almost more than
she could bear.
