MARRIED LIFE.

ooh. wait.-wait!" Helen clapped
her hands excitedly. you'll hit the
chandelier"
The heavy bookcase on the shout
ders of the two men just grazed one
of the glass globeys.
"Oh, do be careful here" as she
ran forward to hold the door open
wider. Its so narrow"
Hold on there, Steve! Let down
your end! Here, you can't get it out
that way. Turn it back a bit! That's
it! Easy now"
? After some manoeuvering they got
it out in the hall. Then it was too
wide to go inside the elevator and
had to be taken down on top.
Fortunately Helen did not have
time to wait till they got it on. so
she did not see how they scratched
the side and knocked bit of veneer
ing off the front.
"Now Della" as she hurried back
TO the sitting room, where Della was
tying up some bandbOxes. tie all
those sofa pillows up together"
"What'll / tie them with, there ain
no cord left"
"Then put them in that sheet-the
one we left out for the curtains"
The men had come now. one of
them stood wiping the perspiration
from his face on his sleeve, while he
looked around
Wen take this next" as he rolled
out Warren's big desk.
Better lock these drawers" trying
one and finding ii open.
"Oh. couldn't find the key. Can't
il go that way" anxiously.
All right, ma'am Well tie a
rope around IL. Here, Steve. bring
up piece OF that rope down there"
While they tied up the drawers
Helen ran back into the kitchen TO
help Della pack the last odds and
ends from the pantry into the big
clothes hamper.
Just throw that away" as Della
held UP a dusty package of cereal;
That's been here for month. What's
this?" opening a paper bag. "Raisens!
They're all dried up-throw them
away, too. And that old bread board
down there-give that TO the janitor
with those other things" Here the
door bell rang.
Never mind. Della, you go on with
this-I'n answer it"
1t was the paper marFwith his bill.
sass All right-just a moment, ="
as she went for her purse.
Hardly had the paper man gone
before the milk man came with ms
bill. But We stopped that extra
quart last week" demurred Helen.
Here you've charged it for the full
month"
IT don't know nothing about the
bills. ma'am. Them's made out at
the Office"
"Oh. I'll pay it. haven't time TO
argue Ii now"
I'm sorry. miss" as he took out
his stub of a pencil and put the bill
up against the wall TO scrawl paid"
and his initials upon it,
You can phone 10 the Office. Maybe
they'll take II of. But YOU see

Never mind; it's only few
cents. OH wait" as she turned TO
see one - the men carrying out her

MOVING DAY. WITH ALL ITS
WORRY, CONFUSION AND
DISCOMFNORTS.

Now, ma'am. you must stop and
have a bite of luncheon urged
Della. Its half past two"
I'D forgotten about luncheon. Per
haps you'd better go over to the
delicatessen and get us some sand
wiches. There's a bottle of milk here,
isn't there?"
When Della brought her a sand
wich on paper and a glass Of milk,
in a cracked glass they had left 70
throw away, Helen sank down on a
box for a moments rest.
"Oh, Della, see If you can't get the
janitor to shake that rug up on the
roof. Tell him we couldn't let him
take ii up with the others yesterday
because the box Of books was on it.
And Della" calling her back
Yes, mas am"
Take that couch cover over and
have him shake that, too Oh, have
you hurt your hand ?" as one of the
men who had started 10 lift box put
it down and examined his finger. "Oh,
you've cut it, It's bleeding"
That's nothing. MISS wiping it on
very dirty handkerchief. Just
caught it on a splinter there"
"Oh, I'm so sorry! Wait, I'll get
you some witch hazel and a piece of
linen" And then she realized that
everything was packed. But she dug
around I'm a box of things from the
bathroom which had not been taken
down, and found some vaseline and
absorbent cotton.
1t was after before the men got
everything out. Helen had arranged
with the janitor's wife to sweep up,
so she might take Della with her to
help receive the things in the new
apartment
Now. Della, if you'll carry the
canary and this box, I'll take the
satchel."
When they reached the new apart
ment they found the scrubwoman just
wiping up the last floor and the
strong, unpleasant Odor of soapsuds
! were everywhere.
1t was after when the men
brought up the last things. Nothing
had been broken, but several pieces
were badly scratched. Helen had
hoped Warren would be there in time
to pay them, but as he hadn't come
she paid them herself, giving each
man a tip of so cents and then worry
ing afterwards If that had not been
enough or too much.
Now Della, we must get these rugs
down before we do anything else. And
then unpack this box-most OF the
things Wen need first are in here"

Just then the telephone rang. Helen
went to it with the curious sense Of
answering for the aTst time a strange
phone in a strange place-a place that
was 10 be her home.

my observation, not to say experience,
is that il is greatly overestimated If
one can take his friends with him,
that may alter the case, especially If
his means will enable him TO remain
long enough in a strange country or
place to make a study of the locality
